Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Pro_Kesadia - Twitch 🔥Pro_Mouseadia is on the CASE!!!! - Sub Goal 300 Subs = Cooking Stream!

And that's a wrap! I sent the love and music over to @prokesadia.bsky.social who's playing Mouse P.I. so give him some love! www.twitch.tv/pro_kesadia

Live now, just getting my things together. Grab a cuppa and hop on in.

Twitch Twitch is the world

So I'm going to go live in a few minutes to see if everything works. Come hang out, I guess?

Tomorrow a new episode pf Woke Mental Wellness Presents: Windy City Nihilism arrives! If you aren't caught up tonight is a great time to get caught up before Episode 24 drops in the morning.

I hope to come back to streaming, but on my own terms. Right now, it's a matter of time, energy, and my tech. Betsy is 6 years old with lots of upgrades to her. So I'll see where I'm at in terms of getting her to be streaming ready. #BackStageWithShears

I now know the crafting camera is not dead, but too many things plugged in will overload poor Betsy (my laptop) and I'll have to do more tech stuff behind the scenes in order to get things up and running again. #BackstageWithShears

Test stream went as well as I expected...one thing works while another crapped out. I think using my silent keyboard that can connect via Bluetooth might be my best bet so things work. Not ideal, but I'm not sacrificing my 3rd monitor. #BackstageWithShears

Awww! Congrats!

For now, I'll wait for another warm day to get the rest of the sanding done. My body needs some time with my foam roller to loosen up. #HomeAdventures

I did toy with the idea of using the frame to put my peg board in, but I do want a mirror for my home office. Still on the fence about that. #HomeAdventures

The mirror frame was meant to be a simple staining job. But once I saw that the finish it had was painted (With grey primer) I begrudgingly knew I had to take it to the wood. So that's what I did today. I think I got about 40% to the wood. The rest I'll do by hand another time. #HomeAdventures

The shelf was sanded down and I did some experiments with my Dremel. The corners were smoothed down so I don't accidentally hit my hand or head. Then I stained it to see if it would look nice. I whooped when it did. #HomeAdventures

I'm using whatever stain I have on hand to save on money. But the shelf took the stain beautifully. #HomeAdventures.

The sun was out, it was fairly warm, and I'm back on my #HomeAdventures shenanigans.

Got started on my floating shelf and mirror frame.

Publishers’ AI battle hits Internet Archive SF organization losing access to some news content

“We are collateral damage.” - Mark Graham, Wayback Machine

When preservation is caught in the crossfire, it’s not just libraries that lose—it’s the public’s access to history, knowledge, and truth.

The web shouldn’t disappear behind closed doors.

I'm so annoyed I missed the landing, but I'm stoked they got home safe. #Artemis

If they suddenly find a cat with a crescent moon on its forehead, I'm calling it now.

I SAID WHAT I SAID, NOORDIN

Agreed.

I figured. Love it when folks with fragile egos can't take a hint. Yes, that was sarcasm for clarification.

Side note: There is a donut shop by me that has a drive thru and it's not Dunken. Figured I'd share that joy.

What the hell do you mean, allegedly??? Do NOT make me vouch for you and tell everyone how badass you are! Or make me slip your ko-fi! Again! I'll do it.

I JUST thought about this and shook my head.

So when I ask this, I'm being totally being serious.

So this is just another round of Pope fights? Been a few centuries since the last one.

Being a knitter for so long means going back to project and undoing your progress to fix it. Even if it means you have to sit like a shrimp tinking back stiches and figuring out what the hell you did a month ago. #ShearsKnitsAThing #Knitting

Birfday????!

BIRFDAY!!!!

(Expect treats the next time I see you. This is non-negotiable. <3)

Ah yes, the mystery scar/bruise/whatever the F happened with no memory of it. *eyes bruise on my arm*

TRAIN ON THE LAKE TRAIN ON THE LAKE

I love the enthusiasm people can have for simple things. Simple things that help ordinary everyday people lead more fulfilling lives.

This is an engineering marvel and I cannot wait for it to become boring because that means it's working.
