Pretty late to the game, but I just finished watching Sopranos! I forgot all the talk about the end of these series so I managed to enjoy it spoiler free. Kind of a brilliant show, it’s amazing how the writers can make terrible people actually sympathetic characters.

Instead of suggesting Miracle on 34th Street to watch my brain went with Miracle on Elm Street. Lil Freddie Kruger gets his Holiday wish πŸ˜‚

Whenever I roll my window down to get a bug out of my car I imagine that must be what it's like to be sucked out into the vacuum of space.

I was just reminded choco tacos aren't around anymore. As if things didn't already suck with the world I gotta remember this tragedy.

I love when people buy my honey and just start chugging it from the jar at the next booth. πŸ˜„

@stevebryantart.bsky.social I came on here specifically to see where you'll be at SDCC, and wasn't disappointed! See you soon!

Is this where I go now to see who all is going to SDCC?

I’d say one of the toughest parts of calming a dog down with fireworks is when you’re trying to go to the bathroom and one goes off so she tries to crawl under your legs. 😬

Ugh. I rescued another dog off the street by my house and I couldn’t take care of him so I had to take him to the shelter. The euthanized him and I really feel like they didn’t even wait the two weeks. I get that they’re full, but come on. I wanted to try and find somewhere else for him.

I tried walking around in the dark exhausted in my hallway and wham, head went right into the corner wall. Sporting a nice bump on my forehead now and feeling dumb.

Telling people my business name is The Nerds & The Bees is worth it for the little laugh I get when they hear it.

Me this morning: β€œI should get some lip balm while I’m at the farmers market. Oh. Wait…I’d be the one selling it.” alright, time to start making lip balm for myself and to sell!

Someone told me about a goth farmers market out here somewhere, but all I can find is a haunted farmers market in Tacoma, Washington. The FOMO here is strong. I would love to sell my honey at a spooky farmers market.

People always suggested I should do farmers markets, and here I am doing them. The biggest reason I would say I was resistant is probably because I went to sleep less than two hours ago. Farmers markets hurt night owls. Night markets need to be more popular.

Cool. So I need to find a new place to get glass jars from for my honey. They mostly come from a Chinese distribution center and well the tariffs are going to of course going to be a problem. Already looks like I won't be able to restock my large hexagon jars.

Me at 2am when I have to be up early: omg bee in a bikini. Draw that. Right now. (I didn’t but I couldn’t stop giggling to myself)

A random child just showed up to my little honey selling table and asked about my bees, so I showed him a video of some doing the waggle dance so he started dancing too πŸ˜‚ and then he vanished just like he came into my world.

Okay okay I finally watched The Beekeeper movie after so many requests that I do. πŸ˜‚ I’ll post a video about it soon.

Brought him home, gave him a bath, food, water and warmth. He’s snoozing away right now. Gonna take him to the vet when I wake up. He seems to not be remotely potty trained 😬 but he’s sweet as all hell.

So a dog found me today. I was out trying to sell some honey, I had finished setting up and suddenly he’s right under me while I’m taking a picture. Poor boy is so skinny and clearly wasn’t being treated well I can’t really afford another dog, but I’m not going to leave him on the street in the cold

Today while selling honey I asked someone if they’d like to try some. They immediately said no and proceeded to try opening one of my jars for sale. 😬 also I accidentally gave them a $10 bill instead of $5 when they bought something. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈit’s been a day.

I’m going to think about football like magic the gathering. There’s skill sure, but seems like the kid with the most money to buy the most powerful deck of course is probably gonna win.

I finally got an epi-pen after my developing a bee allergy in December! Soon I start immunotherapy, but hey at least I won’t die by my bees!

I can’t tell if I get stuff on my white shirts because of course I do, or if I always am a mess and only notice it on my white shirts.

I’m out on the corner selling honey and it is so cold I cannot feel my fingers anymore. I’m mostly bundled up, but forgot gloves.

And I was just saying how I got a sandwich from Starbucks once that was growing fur. (It was very moldy)
