@scarlettgauthor.bsky.social I just finished His Sacred Incantations! Started immediately after Illuminations. It reminded me what it felt like to read for fun and get lost in a story, I loved it! I guess all I needed was a couple that appealed to my exact tastes.

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

Weavers of Bsky (a group of people who I truly hope exist), it is becoming increasingly clear as I weave this tea towel that I goofed up my warp tension. The right is tighter. My warp is wound to let me weave five more of these towels. When I finish this one, should I cut it off and retie the warp?

We have begun the long, multi-step process of installing the 110 gallon stock tank I got for $80 into its final position as a backyard pond. Next I have to spend $1,000 to have an electrician install an outlet to run a waterfall pump, which is a bit of an escalation in cost 😂
An assortment of medium and large pots and potted plants, including a double sink in the front and a 50 gallon drum housing a cherry tree in the back.The same view and some of the same pots, but the tree in the 50 gallon drum and some of the other large pots have been removed. In their place is a huge black oval tub.

If the Pope would like to commission me to continue the fine tradition of plausibly deniable horny Catholic art made by probable queers, I will write 150k words of someone yearning for Jesus (sexually) and then take my huge Vatican paycheck and use half of it to buy some tgirl her bottom surgery.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

This is one of my top three shows of all time. Of. All. Time. Mostly funny, occasionally frightening or revelatory or startling or eerie or poignant or beautiful. It leaves me in awe of the baffling blob of meat and ideas that is humanity. But mostly it’s really, really fucking funny.

What's up I'm trying a new, much shittier advertising technique for my show this Saturday. events.ticketleap.com/tickets/unna...
A written-on google maps screenshot of West Seattle and SoDo. It reads, "West Seattle! Come to Earlyween!" with an arrow pointing toward the approximate location of the show, where a tiny version of the poster has been placed. In green more writing reads, "Free parking" "boobs" "butts" "no traffic" along with blue happy smiley faces. On the other side of the map, it reads "Sounders" "Mariners" "Bad traffic" "expensive parking" in orange, along with red angry unhappy smiley faces.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

It's Bisexual Awareness Week? Then you should probably be aware that both I (the author) and Glory, the female lead in my femdom fantasy duology, are big ol' bisexuals! She says so out loud (in fantasy terms)! We meet her ex-girlfriend! It's F/M that's queer as hell! scarlettgaleauthor.com/shop
The cover of His Secret Illuminations by Scarlett Gale on a bisexual pride flag background. The cover art features a muscular blonde woman with green eyes wearing armor and holding a sword in front of her with both hands, blade-down.“My lady?”
She looks up from petting a unicorn, eyebrows raised in acknowledgment.
“Do you—that is—” He takes a deep breath and tries to find the right phrasing. “If it’s not rude of me to ask, do you prefer women?” Why is he asking this?
“Oh,” she says, looks thoughtful for a moment. “Mmm. Not prefer, as such, I’m not a dedicated seeker of flowers. I’m attracted to women and I’m attracted to men and sometimes I’m attracted to people who aren’t either. I don’t care as much about what a person is, I care about who they are.  Does that make sense?”
“I think so, my lady,” Lucían says, a terrible, dangerous thread of hope twisting through his insides.“It took three months before she told me that,” she says with a sly grin. “She must be sweet on you to tell you so early, lucky boy.”
 “I don’t—” Lucían starts, then falls silent as he realizes he doesn’t know where he was going with that sentence. He pins up a few garments, thinking, and tries again. “Are you and she—do you—you’ve known her for a long time—”
 “We’re not currently fucking,” the Knife tells him bluntly, and Lucían chokes on air, hiding behind a dress as he pins it to the clothesline until he can get his face back under control. “We used to fuck, and it was great,” she continues blithely, completely destroying any composure he’d been able to attain, “but it’s been a long time since we had that kind of relationship. You have no competition from me, kid.” 
Lucían covers his head with a wet linen tunic, intensely embarrassed.
 “It’s not—” he protests to the inside of the fabric “I don’t—we aren’t—that’s not what I meant!”

Nothing but respect for the person who entered this quilt into the "Patriotic" category at the Washington State Fair. 🫡
A lap quilt in red, white and blue with bloody hand appliques and "250 years of violence" on it in large letters. There are a lot of hand-embroidered phrases around the hand appliques listing various American atrocities carried out by the government against marginalized American communities and other countries.
