A BABY!!

Theyre perfect

I was like “it doesnt have to be too sturdy, that’s what the tin is for”

And she was like “no it’s so cute, we have to PROTECT the TIN” 😆

It’s important you know i initially tried to ship this in a hardy envelope & the girl at the PO was like “this thing is going international, we’ve got to find something stronger” and then saw “empty altoid tin” on the customs for and saw me pull out the tin and I’ve never heard anyone laugh so hard

Yaaaaaaaayyyy!!!

Same 😭😭 did our immune systems just… give up??

If I get sick one more time this year I’m putting myself in a bubble

It’s not fair, I dont even really go out and do things 😭

In unrelated news in a bold act of hubris I posted my Ed/Stede pokemon AU fic, which I have not touched in many months and started over a year ago, in order to motivate myself to start writing it again

Bully me. Tell me to write my dumb passion project fic

Real annoyed that I went from getting sick once a year *maybe* to having gotten sick 3 times in the last six months. What the fuck is going on

🫂🫂

All the good vibes headed your way 🫂

Why is it so hard to write 800 words in a week for work when I can routinely write 1000 in an evening

💛💛

😭😭🤝

Did i just listen? Yes, yes i did — love the way you podfic! 💛

Podfic title card. A purple and peach background with a podcast mic on the right. Text reads I Miss Your Face Like Hell by 515253545, podfic by happydaiz

My podfic of I Miss Your Face Like Hell by @515253545.bsky.social.

The podcast is about 30 minutes at the beginning of Bonnet and the co-host talking or bickering or gushing, or Bonnet info dumping about some interesting thing that's caught his attention recently.

Ed’s new fucking favorite thing.

TODAY IS ALL ABOUT MAKING ART (and also doing some work, that, too, but no one is answering my emails so this is really on them)

💛💛💛

Throwback thursday to maybe my favorite thing I’ve ever (co-)written (with @fakegeekboy.bsky.social 🐈‍⬛!)

Was rereading it this morning 😅 #ofmdfic #ofmdfanfic

And I’m not saying that capitalism doesnt or wont be a key factor in what keeps people continuing to go off planet, but it is very heartening to hear people talking about space and the scientific implications of exploring it with wonder and awe again

I was really pretty bummed out about humankind’s relationship to the stars after Space Force became a thing a few years ago

It’s really beautiful seeing so much about Artemis II on the tl. I’m so excited about the scope of the Artemis missions and will never get tired of hearing about the wonder of space exploration

Astronauts Dedicate Moon Crater to Carroll Wiseman, Wife of NASA Commander

"It’s a bright spot on the moon,” CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, his voice breaking up, “and we would like to call it Carroll.”

The crew all shared a hug after.

I did two arts for chapter 1 and if you want to see the second one you’ll just have to go read ;)

(But you should go read anyway because Ed is a teacher, Alma’s a menace, and R’s world is SO CUTE)
