Light the lamp, not the rat, and come see us at the Baltimore Museum of Industry popup Christmas market this Wednesday!

Does this adorable Scrapdragon spit poison? Maybe! Come meet him at #oceancityrennaissancefair

yes, or herbs - stuff like chives, rosemary, basil, cilantro is pretty hardy and adding that to rice and beans keeps it from being unbearably bland (and if you've got very limited balcony space, they'll go further than veggies.)

Supposed to be working on the zombie story. What am I doing instead? Filing the serial numbers off an unfinished Labyrinth fanfic that's like the 3rd-oldest doc in my google drive....

I'm terrified to give my characters pets because frankly, most of them would be terrible pet owners. (omg Itza, you cannot take that cat on an airship, he's going to fall off and die.)

Yes but we can't afford to miss one paycheck. Hell, we eat ramen for a week when someone has to miss work for a Drs appointment or a federal holiday (unpaid for contractors.)

Wait, calling it trash is unfair. It's tropey and fun for all that it's about stuff that's bothering me. But it's not trash.

That sounds amazing. Mine is not that literary, it's magic school trash.

I know that zombie stories aren't about our fear of death, they're about our fears in the world right now. And I'm real unhappy that my new story is a zombie story, because those fears are apparently all I can think about, in fiction or otherwise. #booksky

Dammit Krennic

Andor meme features Luthen & Saw discussing the Death Star. In the first panel, Saw reveals the existence of the weapon. Luthen asks how he knows this. The third panel has Saw showing his phone & saying “Krennic added me to the group chat”

Ow! It sounds like it needs to go to machine jail for a while.

(But I also think this is just unreasonable to expect on an individual basis when teachers already have SO MUCH STUFF on them.) There isn't an easy answer.

I feel like language arts education needs to be more flexible with finding books that are more engaging, but have enough to them that you can really dig into what makes them work- and that's what you need to teach- how to really LOOK at what you read.

Yeah, that's definitely frustrating. I didn't enjoy most of our assigned reading books. (I put Johnny Tremaine in a Cuisinart and used it for paper mache the weekend we finished that in 6th grade.) But I don't think the answer is to not read, or to only read excerpts.

Feels weird to say "I've got a story eating my brain, and it's about a zombie pandemic and magic in a world that didn't know about magic." Also apparently I'm back on my dystopian bullshit again but that seems on brand.

My mom is a terrible snob about genre (ret. middle school English teacher) so I dedicated my especially trashy werewolf romance to her. (That's the one w/o spaceships. That one is dedicated to the English teacher who said I don't care if there are spaceships, keep reading and writing!)

Me: I should buckle down and get started on the sequel to Escaping the Omega Bond and space werewolf 2. Also me: spends all morning plotting out an 8 book zombie academy dystopian romance revolution story.

I've accidentally my whole feed politics and doom. Can anyone recommend some good #booksky starter packs to try and adjust it so I don't just cease to exist in despair?

Trying to figure out if I should just go ahead and do the amazon-only launch even though my friends are boycotting, or if I should push things back and try and launch wide. I thought finishing the edits would be the hard part.

This sounds like a really great way to get bird flu EVERYWHERE. I loved my backyard chickens but it's not for everyone and this is a dumb time to start.

Woops, may have tipped my feed too far towards current events and away from #booksky ... Trying to block out the part of me that is screaming at the news is real productive, though. I finished my novella!

I'm sorry, maybe we all just should have died already like we did in the past. FFS.

You're welcome to pop over to ours. I think it's a hard problem to avoid without a server being quite small.

The world is on fire, but 75,248 words later, the non-space werewolf romance is done and ready for edits! #booksky

I was super excited, too. And I get creators don't want to hear hate and have to make hard choices about sizing, but wow.

Cait, sometimes Scrapdragon Studio @scrapdragon.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Wow. Yet another maker being all "I want to be inclusive" and blocking people who don't consider xl a plus size.

Oh. I thought you were actually doing extended sizing.

Yeah, you and Nagia need to talk, lol. She's got a lawyer resistance fighter against corporate overlords in a cyberpunk space future.
