It's that time of year! The @desertbus.org charity event starts this Friday and once again I'll be making the poster for it!

Every year I watch the entire week long event and add their antics to the poster over time, which you can buy!

Find out more info about the event at desertbus.org
#DB2025
The start of this year's Desert Bus, featuring 3D sections of desert road circling around and flying off into the distance.

And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

So here’s all I’m asking. If you’re reading this and you can throw $5 towards the cause before we start that would be swell! If all 7600 of you who follow me on BlueSky do that (and I assume you’re all active users who read every post I make) we’ll break records!

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

The radical scientists at @fangamer.com have concocted another totally awesome shirt for #DB2025! Beam over to shirt.desertbus.org to order this year's version, or a previous edition (in select sizes)!
The #DB2025 shirt is a radical assault of neon colors depicting a cartoon cactus driving a pink bus. Additionally, a UFO is flying across the top of the design.

I’m open to any and all suggestions. But please keep them in the realm of reality :)

Rise and shine each morning at 6am with the refreshing and vibrant Dawn Guard crew! Rustle up your most robust coffee roasts and finest fashions, then add in a dash of daily gameshows for the perfect mix of overcaffeinated chaos to guide you through to lunchtime.

Few dare to pilot the Zeta Shift, starting at the stroke of midnight and running all the way to 6am. The Zetaful Eight ride again, bringing chill conversation, high stakes brick assembly, and musical interludes. If you're a night owl or on the other side of the world, they've got your back.

Night Watch hits the scene each evening starting at 6pm and running up until midnight. Previous editions have been full of arts and crafts, auspicious adventures, and Beyblade. Who knows what they'll get up to this year, but we'll all find out starting on November 14th!

Technically kicking off the show (since we start at 3pm), and then occurring from Noon-6pm daily is Alpha Flight! With familiar faces shuffling into the shift, it's hard to pin down what they'll be up to this year, but we're sure it'll be fascinating.

We're 18 days (!) away from the start of our 19th run. Why not spend the next week with us welcoming the volunteers working in front and behind the cameras to keep our show running? Each shift runs 6 hours, features beloved segments, and might just have a few additional surprises or cross-overs.

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware.

Read the full piece and listen to the author recite it: journey75.org/2025/the-myt...
They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens, but they don’t say what happens after they kneel. They don’t say what the horn is for. They say they are gentle, but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

We've already raised over $2200 (CAD) for the BC Cancer Foundation before the run even starts! We've got a dozen giveaways starting on Friday, including three from Victoria staples Vinyl Envy, Yellowjacket, and Fernwood Coffee Company:

desertbus.org/express2025/...
Fernwood Coffee Company is the official coffee sponsor of Desert Bus for Hope. If they're coffee can keep us going all week long in November, this prize pack will surely get your mornings off on the right foot! Included in this prize pack is everything you need to make a LOT of coffee with the exception of water and a method to heat it :P You'll get 4 bags of various Fernwood coffee, a clear purple Aeropress with a reusable stainless steel filter, a Hario ceramic coffee mill, a Fernwood Coffee Company branded MiiR travel mug, and a black Fernwood Coffee Company baseball hat! With Desert Bus Express supporting a local to us charity in BC Cancer Foundation, it only made sense to head out into the community to have a few of our favorite local business's showcase both their wares and generosity. Yellow Jacket is one of Victoria's oldest running local game stores, and is the go to location for the members of LoadingReadyRun when they're looking to play some Highlander or film some nonsense! Included in this prize bundle is a copy of Finspan the board game, a box set from the Archazia's Island expansion for Disney's Lorcana, a 360 card 9-pocket zipped binder made by Ultra-Pro, a Tarkir: Dragonstorm Bundle, and 3 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Collector Boosters. With Desert Bus Express supporting a local to us charity in BC Cancer Foundation, it only made sense to head out into the community to have a few of our favorite local business's showcase both their wares and generosity. We are spoiled in Victoria when it comes to record shops, but you would be hard pressed to find a better spot than Vinyl Envy. They have a fantastic mix of new and used records, with the owner Michael and the rest of his staff always around to help you find the next album for your collection. In this lot are the following records: John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Double Fantasy Styx - Pieces of Eight The Moody Blues - Long Distance Voyager The Alan Parsons Project - Eve The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers The Beatles - Revolver
