Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help. Here's a pic of who I currently have available. All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Halloween superstores are everywhere this year. I've seen one constructed out of dust bunnies and shedded cat claws under my bed. I've seen one while crawling through a tunnel that appeared suddenly in the basement. I've even seen one form inside the swirling fractal colors of a kaleidoscope.

Also, you should know that some libraries will let you sign up even if you don't live in that specific city/town. You might just need to live in the state or general region. So if your local library doesn't support Kanopy, you can check around and see what else is available.

Botlicking technosloppers who use AI to do their "thinking" and "creating" for them will experience everything through a lens of capitalism, selfishness, authoritarianism. Technofascists don't want people to even conceive of a world that could exist beyond the control and cruelties of fascism.

Trump has tasked RFK to bioengineer a miniscule camel capable of crawling through the eye of a needle. So far RFK has managed to offer him a tiny slug with a hump on its back. RFK calls it a true camel but Trump isn't so sure. Trump fears that the RFK might not be capable of saving his soul.

He hopes that if he can receive the peace prize, God will ignore the fact that he adores brutality in all its forms, concentration camps, secret police. He has tricked others so why shouldn't he be able to trick God? His heart beats and he hears PIT PIT PIT.

I didn't end up feeding any crows on my crow walk, but I gave a snack to my fine feathered friend the Muscovy. Also, now that I replay the conversation in my head, I feel as if that nice older lady thought I wanted to steal her neighbor's fruit, although I was merely walking on the sidewalk.

It should be said that the swan geese, the avian dinosaurs that they are, make lovely dinosaur-like sounds. I haven't yet spotted any red-eared sliders, but they're probably sunbathing somewhere.

Aside from the swan geese, mallards and Muscovy duck, I've also said hello to an egret and a bunch of Canadian geese. A spider of unknown species also jumped on my arm and quickly jumped away again. He didn't seem to enjoy my arm after all.

Now I'm sitting on a metal picnic table amidst a slumbering group of mallards. The Muscovy duck seemed sleepy as hell but he woke up to come say hello. He's a good pal of mine. I gave him a few unsalted, roasted peanuts, which are safe for ducks.
Jeremy C. Shipp (@jeremycshipp.bsky.social) reply parent
As unofficial town sorcerer, it's extremely important to support small businesses and to embrace local fruits, so I bought a fresh pineapple agua fresca from a stall near the pond. The swan geese and a few mallards have approached me to say hello.

Someone's selling wooden staffs fit for a town sorcerer near the duck pond. I haven't asked yet if the staffs are already imbued with magic or not. It could be that I haven't accomplished enough feats of sorcery yet where I deserve such a staff.

A nice older lady stopped me on the sidewalk and told me all about the fruit trees in her neighbor's yard and in her yard. As town sorcerer, it's important to speak about local fruit trees whenever possible, even if my current mission is to feed crows.
