Fiverr links and all, in some cases. I reported one, and I hope some moderation is applied. 1/05 May 2026 11:02 +0000at://did:plc:nr5y5angnymheau4ltaep7y3/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3zx7jh3s2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/feelingsandmagic.bsky.social/post/3ml2tojdl2c2pYou know what, if I'm making a mistake, I'll merely join the proud tradition of weirdos with a case of their own books in the basement.

It's by a local artist who goes by lilfairyco on Etsy, and I assume Insta. They're so freaking cute. I caved.

That makes sense to me; the more stringent / old school system has not added it yet, but the more frequently updated one has.

Make some cosplay, paint some minis, hang out, cook if you want, patronize the local businesses if you don't. Or hole up and write/draw/create something. In a mythical spot with nice nature views but not too far from amenities.
