I am seriously disappointed by the lack of options available when I look for "Star Wars fascinator." How am I supposed to celebrate Derby Day on May 4th?!

Just found this really old, moldy banana in my backpack. Really need to clean this thing out more often.

While you're walking around enjoying the beautiful weather in Old Town this Saturday, take a short detour off King to check out local authors with northernvirginiawriters.org at @alexlibraryva.bsky.social

Earlier today my husband was cold in the basement so he put on a leather helmet and flight goggles. When I saw him he looked at me like he expected me to comment, but it honestly would have been more notable if he wasn't wearing something weird.

I don't have enough hobbies, so I took up stained glass this fall. This is my first finished piece which will one day go above the door in my shed. Now to take up shed building...

With the fifth Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (SPSFC) taking book entries next month, we're looking for a few good volunteers to join us as judges: spsfc.space/2025/09/19/j... More than a few, actually. #SPSFC

Next to the trophy is Welker's book, which has a cover of a hovering ovoid spacecraft above San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The sky is orange and full of portent.

I'm terrible with plants, but I think even I could make this one work.

One of my Kickstarter reward levels included a custom hidden doodle inside the book box by my cover artist/husband @seanmcbeth.com I thought he'd just draw a stick figure and be done with it, but this is the first one he did.

Well I would normally be working from home on a snow day to promote that continuity of operations thing. But since they took away my permission to telework... Guess I'm sledding with the kids today!

Last 12 hours to check this out and get some awesome books!

This is one of the best things I've ever seen in a manual. And I had one once tell me to read the instructions carefully because they cared about me and didn't want me to die.

Instruction manual that says "with the help of a friend or trustworthy for, such as one of your in-laws"

Back in 2013, @mamcbeth.bsky.social shared an idea for a novel she was procrastinating, so I bet her $100 she wouldn't complete #NaNoWriMo. She won the bet, creating the first book in her #selfpublished #scifi series, The Sphere Saga. Here we are, 11 yrs later: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mam...

The Sphere Saga: The Shape Of Time

The Sphere Saga is coming to an end with book 4: The Shape Of Time.
