Wow RIP the biggest cornerstone community of my big weird doll hobby for the last 20 years, you will be missed.
Nvidia just called your video game "a cheap pepperoni slice" and they "can do of better".
Fuck you @nvidiageforcees.bsky.social I made my video game look the way it does on purpose. Also my players "ordered it" that way on purpose. The fucking nerve of these snake oil peddlers.
my bandcamp debut!
Travis did fantastic work with these field recordings. If you like noise, musique concrète, and experimental music, have a listen. And keep an eye out for the anthology and album crowdfund dropping later this year!

Baby Bao ate his very first shrimp and absolutely crushed it. π¦ Watching him figure it out is even cuter! π

Big milestone for little Bao! π
Our otter pup is tasting and mouthing shrimp for the first time, an important step in learning how to eat solid foods. Dad Sebastian provided the shrimp. Bao provided the theft. π€π

Thank you!! It's kind of made easier by the fact that the motions I'm making and the part you handle (the bobbins) aren't any smaller for this than for something done with thicker thread... so in some ways it isn't much harder than a more normal size. I did snap thread the first time I tried though
I did it! 10cm of bobbin lace for dolls, to sew onto some sleeves. I need to practice my tension, but this is much prettier than my first try... It helps to actually do things correctly according to the pattern π I can't wait to use it! #bobbinlace
While mom and dad enjoy dinner, this tiny Asian small-clawed otter pup has very important business, tail toys and full-on romping. π

I tried making some bobbin lace trim for my dolls, but realized I was doing it incorrectly after a while... You can see at the bottom where I started to do it better. I decided it was practice and I'll start over again. #bobbinlace
He's such a freak (affectionate)
I've been playing (read: obsessed with) Coral Island and the fact that Jim is not a marriage option feels absolutely criminal
Otterly adorable news! Pintar, our four-year-old Asian small-clawed otter, gave birth to a healthy pup on November 18. Pintar and Sebastian are first-time parents and are doing exceptionally well, keeping the fuzzy male pup safe and cozy behind the scenes.

Otterly adorable news! π Pintar, our four-year-old Asian small-clawed otter, gave birth to a healthy pup on Nov 18. Head veterinarian performed a wellness exam on the one-month-old pup, and it appears healthy, weighing just under one pound and exhibiting strong vigor, with a round, healthy belly.
Baby shark conservation news! In the past week, the RARCC nursery βshark nanniesβ welcomed two very special zebra shark pups, Jelly (female) and PowerTee (male), the first two pups to hatch from Peanut & Butterβs eggs sent to the nursery.

Super excited for Nikki 2.0, much less excited for its steadfast refusal to finish pre-downloading the update (it stuck on Check Resources, which it also did for the godawful co-op update this summer) (never change IN)
This spooky collection would not have happened without Lucia's support, expertise, and incredible art. Half the copies have been spoken for but preorders are still open!
I did it! At long last, I have finished row 7 (of 8) of my doily! Thanks, all day in person meeting! It's messy but I'm happy with it, especially as a practice piece. π #tatting

Of COURSE I did this in the expensive imported italian cotton, need you even ask? And no, I do NOT have enough to recut anything! Sighs, puts face in hands. My hubris.
Kids, do your mockups, even when you've made a pattern before... I sized up on the Kalina blouse because my bust measurement has changed, and the sleeve fit is absolutely miserable. :( Insult to injury, my own dumb ass put the waist ties like an inch too high so I have to redo that, too. #sewing
I have so many projects going, but one of them made me extremely frustrated (at myself, mea culpa for not doing a mockup)... Maybe I should go back to my tatting 8V (I will eventually but not today)
The skirt, completed!
Just a heads up to search LibGen itself, not use the Atlantic's site. My books didnβt pop up under the latter
Patchwork!
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3.
