Working on a special project for the shop today that book and art lovers will squeal over: I’m scanning antique art from books in my collection to add art, ebooks, and so much more to the shop. #books #art #booksky

Tonight’s mending project is attaching bias tape to a sweater that got snagged. Of course I grabbed some green embroidery thread to add to my fix when I was done. #sewing #mending

Something is sussy about this image.

My boyfriend upon seeing hour 1 of the library sale haul announced he’s not building me a new bookcase.

Of course not. He’s just going to pass me books after I build it. 🤭 #booksky

Tonight's D&D stream drama prediction in meme form.

Friend who works at the library’s bookstore: Ann, there’s new antique books.
I have three boxes worth. 🥰

Ignore the mess of wires. This is my insurance to ensure I don’t miss or disappear from D&D stream.

After a stressful week of keeping Kitty Chaos inside, they got the bribe of wet cat food to calm them down. I tried feeding them separately but Midnight only eats from Daisuke’s plate. 😅

For context, this is the normal view from this deck.

View from my deck upstairs. That’s not fog, that’s what 377 AQI of smoke looks like.

To keep everyone in the loop of what's happening IRL, I did a quick recording to catch everyone up to date with the fire that's impacting my community as I got my tech go bag packed. www.patreon.com/posts/meanwh...

You know I’m in editing mode when both computer mice are on and next to each other. Yes, this also happens during D&D streams. 😁

If my boyfriend were here at the book sale, he’d be doing a huge comedy bit of “I’m not building you a house for your collections.”

You would love Bridges. Lots of practical items for the home with lots of clothing racks and books. Due to the building's small size, the manager frequently offers sales on clothes or the entire store. This is the one picture I could take without showing a bunch of people at the clothing racks.

During moments like these, be like Danuta Danielsson.

Do I need 2 computers with 3 screens between them to edit one video?

Probably not, but I think another screen wouldn't hurt. 😅

The party calls my vintage/antique d6 cursed. What do you think? @analogandarcane.bsky.social

Map making leveling up soon.

I finished my work table for photographing books for the shop, and I am in love with how antique/vintage the tabletop looks now after 2 coats of red oak stain. It's complementing the vintage books so well. I can't wait to film book hauls and crafty videos now.

So… I need another new bookcase. Two different book sales in two weeks. #books

Midnight didn't get his bed of choice (hammock bed is by the A/C), so he hides from the sun in a trash can that's currently not in use. I guess it's time to expand the cat hammock tower so there's a second hammock. #cats #cat

Not up more than five minutes and the new bookcase is already full. 🤣

Now to figure out how to shove the bookcase on the left under my desk a bit more.

Gotta give @rolecraft.bsky.social and Cawood Publishing a shoutout for one of the monsters I’m using during today’s oneshot at @analogandarcane.bsky.social. Rolecraft gave me this book years ago and now I get to use it during a stream. 🤩
May 18, 2025 at 8:33 PM
These are the books they haven’t gone through yet for pricing so hopefully there will be another antique gem next week.
