Happy International Coffee Day, my friends! Sometimes the fedi provides me great joy and solidarity, and this is one of those days. Love your posts! @CindyWeinstein@zirk.us has been combining the #3goodThings with #coffee and it's been incredibly cool to hear about other's experiences and memories. Mine:

1. Any post surgery real cup of coffee! Notably after sinus surgery, getting the nose-noodles (stints) taken out- 2 weeks post surgery. That drive through coffee window blasted me with the most intoxicating smell, and the latte was amazing!
2. My dad's coffee. Coffee with my dad. Can't seem to reproduce it. It's just drip.
3. The smell of freshly ground beans. Getting a new pound of espresso from Petaluma Coffee and Tea. Sitting in my car with that bag just emitting goodness. Freshly ground, good coffee, can have such a heady aroma. It's as good as the post sex smell (good sex). Sorry for being blunt.

Three good things today:

1. I got to cover a ton of new books in my favorite genres-- horror, LGBTQ, cookbooks, and Halloween-ish stuff. :) cross posted LGBTQ teasers to the local LGBTQ group!
2. Got to make a usually-sour older man laugh (actually we all laughed) when he asked (seriously) if I had handcuffs on my belt. It's a fancy leather waist pack from the Renn fair, and. It was my keys clanking. I thoughts cuffs would be a good idea. He agreed. Then he asked who was wearing patchouli looking at both of us behind the desk including my coworker who is cis male, black,and very tall. It was Me. He said thank you! "I used to put it in my laundry back in the day". Some how this was all just awesome and ridiculous, and the best last five minutes of the closing shift ever. Sauciness over patchouli and handcuffs. Lol. We were all giggling.
3. Really good cherry tomatoes from a farm stand, with fresh mozzarella.... Heck yeah! Grateful to the small growers near us. Mega farm produce is just not as good.

I'm going to get handcuffs for my belt. #threeGoodThings #gratitude #patchouli #laughter

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world it’s not that we aren’t short of awesome costume ideas though!

X-files

Question for those who make stuff on #Tindie and #lectronz , any other small electronics DIYers, and maybe @revk@toot.me.uk
I've been wanting a simple badge/pin that would slowly go through the x-files taglines--- Resist or Serve, Believe the Lie etc... looking at Tindie, which is older and has a shit ton of art pieces I'm in LOVE with some of the LCD badge SAO stuff. My knowledge and vocab for electronics is beginner. The "anime" programmable badges on Amazon are huge, and boring. A small LED name badge Might work, but.... I really really love the circuit boards and cut metal plates you all are doing. OMG!
---Are there any search terms I should be using to find a small piece I can do this with?
--- Any recommendations for beginner kits, but NOT from tindie? (so sad because there are a few things I'd like to get and learn)
Thank you!!!
