#ScribesAndMakers June 18: Post an image (with alt text) of needlework you made or admire.

This is what my partner does to relax. Fantastically detailed cross stitch. Hundreds of thousands of stitches. Doing one can take a year or more. This is part of her current work in progress.

I hate that I know glyphosate (Roundup ™®) by its smell.

I also hate that the apartment’s groundskeepers are walking around hosing down everything with it.

Anyone know why Iowa has such a high cancer rate?

My books on Gumroad have (finally) been updated to match the Itch.io versions. You probably don't need up update. Here are the changes:

- Added a No AI disclaimer.
- PDFs are now screen reader friendly.
- PDFs come formatted for large screen (tablet) and small screen (phone) versions.

If you have previously purchased any version, you should now have access to all the versions (epub, mobi, pdf). If not, get in touch, we'll make it good.
