Proud dad that enjoys gardening, reading, photography, finding new music, and binging movies. I also make books you don’t know you want, yet. https://jnyemb.com || https://notsosuper.pub || https://flowcode.com/page/notsosuperhttps://bsky.app/profile/notsosuper.pubhttps://bsky.app/profile/notsosuper.pub/post/3mktdr5vllk2eMY YOUNGEST (on our way home from school): “I can’t wait to get home, take a warm bath, eat some dinner, then watch some Bob Ross painting while under a nice warm blanket.” I need her to teach me how to relax.02 May 2026 00:03 +0000at://did:plc:wnt4oxwn7765ga6oftsp7ny4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mktdr5vllk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/notsosuper.pub/post/3mks4scufdc2oI have a couple questions for the devil’s advocates who wanted us to “see” what this administration will do; Do y’all feel “great” yet?

Kids of all walks picked it out of everything I had, while mortified parents caved in. My oldest and I laughed each time. I made a mental note to make more large kid appropriate pins next time.27 Apr 2026 22:15 +0000at://did:plc:wnt4oxwn7765ga6oftsp7ny4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkj3uel7is26https://bsky.app/profile/notsosuper.pub/post/3mkj3uel7is26Speaking of conventions, at the one I went to Saturday, this scary looking pin was the kids’ favorite.

They’re a lot less stressful and I make way more when I’m at events that aren’t so niche. I’ve done one a month so far and I’ve made more profit with lower table costs while growing local awareness.27 Apr 2026 21:56 +0000at://did:plc:wnt4oxwn7765ga6oftsp7ny4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkj2rin7rk26https://bsky.app/profile/notsosuper.pub/post/3mjzugjtbr223Finally saw what bird laid these eggs in my rose bush.
