Eric the caterpillar is missing. I saw him this morning but I can't find him in the planter anymore. I read online that his species of caterpillar will move very far from their food source when they're ready to enter the chrysalis stage so they're safer from predators. I hope that's what's happened

Meet Eric. Eric is a caterpillar that showed up on our celery plant a couple weeks ago. We are now very devoted to Eric and check on him many times a day. During the storm this weekend we were afraid Eric got smushed but it turns out he was fine. Enjoy this picture of him eating a leaf.

@tkingfisher.com During this year's Romancing The Vote auction, I put up my services of writing a song parody. The winner asked me to write a song about potatoes. A friend suggested you might find my work interesting as well so here is a link to the doc. Enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It's the Hebrew word חי (chai, where the ch is the throat clearing sound) which means life.

Whenever I watch The Amazing Race I still use Linda's lyrics for the theme. It's! A! Race! Amazing Race! So try! To come in first! Not last! Your taxi must be fast!

And kicked off my love of TWoP. I wish all the recaps were still online somewhere.

I had not seen them! But I don't think they're quite what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for either a pair of earrings or a necklace that has a raccoon and a fox. (Happy to answer more clarifying questions) I'm also looking for some simple studs in darker colors, like dark green/blue/red.

I'm actually really glad I know now because I still talk about YGO:TAS all the time and now I can use the right names and pronouns!

Plus all these years later I'm still trying to wrap my head around paying over $100 for a dress

Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I went through a very specific phase of clothing purchases that definitely made me happy at the time but are much less practical now. And while I definitely have the means to replace things my instinct is to be like "ugh but the clothes are still *good* I just don't want to *wear them*.

Really? Sugar is a major Toronto industry (at least according to the factory museum I visited 20 years ago)

That trans moment where you look at the wardrobe you've built up over four years of transition and barely like any of it anymore.

I love that NJ gets the full state name, not a city. It's a very Jersey thing to do.

Hey y’all! I wanted to talk about a project that’s very near and dear to my heart, a 900 word picture book titled Ever’s Haply After: A Trans Fairy Tale! (1/3)

Sometimes I wonder if there's still value in being on social media platforms and then I'll have a night like tonight where I was talking bagels and baking and mixers with @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and @ryeisenberg.bsky.social and I'm confident the answer is yes.

Well the 80s model is broken now anyway (the speed lever is jammed) so it's only lever lock from here on!
020
Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Hmmm. I guess my mom and I did mostly use hers for cookies and cakes rather than bread...

Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
No the lever is objectively bad. It makes switching out the mixing tool so much more annoying; I have to kinda drop it into the bowl when I'm taking it out.

Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
On the 80s model you could lift the head up from the base which is *so much more convenient* than the lever.

So...when is the BlueSky bagel party?

Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
In this I'm lucky: my mom gave me her KitchenAid from the 80s because she was diagnosed with celiac and there was too much flour on it, and a friend gave me hers from the 90s because she never used it and it was collecting dust.

Avidan (she/her) @avidangerzone.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I look forward to experimenting!

On your recommendation I got Small Batch Breads from the library and there's a recipe in there for Two Bagels I might try.

Which recipe is it?

I am very jealous of your bagels. Whenever I make them they always end up flat.

I always tell college kids to take the weird ass random courses because you'll never get that chance again and you don't know if it'll ever be useful. I'm a software engineer. I got a job early in my career because I had Second Life experience via my Intro to Law and Legal Procedure course.
