Finished project photos of my contribution to this year's @desertbus craftalong! First time I've fully designed my own pattern rather than modifying an existing one, and I'm pretty happy with the result!
Hope the other Sailor Moon fans arecas excited for it as I am!
Every time I have to walk around while my gel dries I am grateful to Damnit Liz for showing us how to do The Kraken every Desert Bus.
And my first shift as #desertbusforhope driver is over. Thank you all for the honor and happy bussing!
All is quiet on the Desert Bus. Thank you one and all that helped make this year unforgettable as always. Photo Drop 26 is the last one for Desert Bus for Hope 2025. See them all now, and throughout the year at photos.desertbus.org
Love you all.

It closes tomorrow, so get your final votes in the poll. How long have you been with Desert Bus for Hope?
I try to hold the charity, kindness and joy in the absurd of Desert Bus in my heart all year around, but this year has been harder than most.
Thank you Desert Bus. Thank you everyone.

Battle station reconfigured into a Bus station - it’s starting to feel a lot like #DesertBus
Currently playing in my head: The Coca Cola Christmas Truck ad, except it's a convoy of busses headed for Tucson, Arizona, in preparation for their annual pilgrimage to and fro Las Vegas, Nevada.
🎶Holidays are coming~🎶

Episode two hundred and one is up now! Today's song is Go To Sleep Little Leech by Arrogant Worms.
I discuss the contrast of the lilting lullaby tone of the music with the hilariously cruel and abusive lyrics.

Episode one hundred and ninety-eight is up now! Today's song is In The Feedback (Day) by The Garages.
I discuss the specificity of this band's niche songwriting, and try desperately to explain what Blaseball is despite never having consumed it.

If you'd like to unplug from all the various goings on in the universe with something infectiously positive, check out the #DesertBusForHope charity stream raising money for Child's Play. They'll be going for another 110 hours so check in whenever! https://www.twitch.tv/desertbus
If you’ve ever wanted to say thanks for #Macstodon or any of my other side projects with some disposable income, I ask instead that you please donate it to Child's Play (https://www.childsplaycharity.org) via Desert Bus For Hope ( @desertbus ) during their charity drive this week. It's a cause that I’m very passionate about.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, the Desert Bus for Hope ( @desertbus ) yearly charity drive for Child’s Play ( https://www.childsplaycharity.org )!
For those who don’t know, it’s an internet gaming fundraising marathon streaming on Twitch ( https://twitch.tv/desertbus ) where a comedy troupe ( @LoadingReadyRun ) and their friends play the world’s worst video game, Desert Bus ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_%26_Teller%27s_Smoke_and_Mirrors#Desert_Bus ), and they have to keep playing it as long as you keep donating! All proceeds go to Child’s Play Charity, which brings toys and videos games to children’s hospitals all over the world!
Fortunately, because the Desert Bus game isn't the most exciting thing to watch, they have mastered the art of Being Funny On Camera! There's skits and sketches, celebrity guests ( https://desertbus.org/2024/events/guests ), dance parties, challenges, prize auctions ( https://desertbus.org/2024/prizes/silent ) and giveaways ( https://desertbus.org/2024/prizes/giveaway )!
At the time of this writing they've been streaming for just over 20 minutes and have already raised nearly $25,000 from viewers like you!
