Hey friends, one of our Peculiarity Shop artists is trying to help cover a surgery for this sweet senior baby.

I know I am An Old. I know that having a paper trail is good, actually. But also sometimes I just want to call customer service and talk to a human to get things sorted because it's SIMPLY FASTER THAT WAY. This cloud-yelling brought to you by trying to order some books for an upcoming author talk.

Jewell Parker Rhodes wrote TOWERS FALLING for kids born after 9/11. It doesn't pretend we were a country united after the fact, addressing racism, fear, and trauma. The book is both gentle and honest, and I still think about it 10 years after its original publication. bookshop.org/p/books/towe...

Listen, I know this is only at 9% of votes counted and the lead may not hold, but I hope that at minimum Stephen Lynch has gnawed off several fingernails.

Screencap from AP News live results of the MA-08 Democratic primary. Currently, Patrick Roath is at 51.4% and Stephen Lynch trails at 48.6%.

In light of the Passing of Icons Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, remember what they stood for. Be Good, Be funny, Be weird, Be yourself without compromise, but most of all, be Kind. Be loving, be a Light, shining into the world that shouts "You are not alone and I love you."

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Study/craft space rearranging continues. I put a shelf in one Kallax cube, Ada instantly crams herself into the space. Fine, okay, it's her pass-through. Swap it to a different spot. Tendi: OH IS THIS FOR ME. *wriggles in* I need someone to organize my cats, apparently.

Just found a necklace I put in Jewelry Time Out months ago and I'm annoyed at it all over again. 😂

A hand knotted necklace with a ceramic focal, fluorite cubes, small pearls and hematite spacers. The top strand is one pattern repeat longer than the lower strand.

Somehow, I don't think this is what the Ikea instructions meant.

Ikea instructions suggesting two people should put the item together.

Three cats (Ada, a black and white cat, and Tendi and Mariner, two black cats), perched atop an Ikea box.

My last paycheck was $14 because the last days I worked before I got sick, all my pay went toward my health insurance premium to Aetna, who keeps denying my CT scan. 🙃 If you're in the market for pretty things, this would be a great time for us.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Money is tight and it’s Pride and my birthday month, so I’m finally biting the bullet and making myself available for AMA video calls. I have 20 years in the publishing industry. 16 as an editor of award-winning & bestselling MG and YA fiction and now as an agent.
