Trying to start a new chat, but the name is grayed out. 🤷‍♀️

A screwnshot reading "Start a new chat" at the top, keyword "skywise" typed in the search bar, 2 results below.
Bottom is greyed out, top seems available, unclear if both are used by the same person

Happy Halloween! Going as a vampire to work. Fangs for checking me out! 🧛‍♀️👻💀🎃

First the teeth, admiring how they look without any makeup, just glasses

On my commute with full costume: headpiece with green beads, glasses, red lipstick framing vampire fangs, and handmade wire weave necklace with a black top

I should post more pictures here, so here you go internet! This piece is a birthday gift for my mom, and I sent her a selfie so she'd know how it might look on her.

Deciding to show off my handiwork for Bluesky likes, just cuz. These palm sized plushes were made wayyyy back in 2020 (I started learning handsewing during the pandemic) and have graced my work desk for the last couple years as a reminder of what I love and what I can make.

A plush with the head of the character Brain, a white mouse, on a blue background with the words "Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" stitched in white lettering.

I've only really been posting/engaging in the last few months, but I'm happy I was able to get in when the platform was still invite only! Thanks to @lenny-fais.bsky.social for actually starting me out here, and happy to celebrate Bluesky crossing 10mil users! May it continue getting better!

Farewell Fiona, you lived well and were loved dearly for the decade you were in Aaron's care. I'll be seeing you everywhere you've scratched and everywhere you've napped, and I'll wish I could pet you and hear your meows again, but know you're in a better place now.

Feeling pensive and sad thinking about life without Fiona. She's had terminal nasal cancer since June and for several weeks has dealt with a tumor that's distorted her right eye and made breathing harder for her. This afternoon she'll be at peace and no longer in pain. 😢🐈💔

A tortie cat the day before being euthanized, standing on a bed with white sheets, seemingly alert but hiding heavy fatigue and lethargy, right eye distorted by a tumor but her left eye is still clear and facing the camera

Sometimes I like painting minifigures on the weekend, and this guy isn't yet finished but I felt like showing him off

Learned to make my own jewelry this year, and here are some of the pieces I'm most proud of:

A simple bracelet made with jump loops, some jump loops have small blue beads on them making them look like little flowers.

A bracelet made with jump loops where every other loop has small beads on them.

A simple silver necklace made with a wire-weave technique.

Visited a new Art Club with my boyfriend today, met some nice people, and we all got to doodle, draw, and paint together in a lovely museum cafe.

Doodles done in markers and colored pencil, some lamps in the top left, a tree scene in the top right, a chair on the bottom right, a clock, drink, and duck pond in the center, four markers, a pair of lightsabers clashing, and a flight of stairs in the bottom right corner.

To be fair, the article is more about noting Republican's outrage to such jokes vs how harmful their own rhetoric is

Deciding to do a "Thursday Purrs-day" by sharing a Fiona photo before work

Drew this a couple weeks ago and thought it'd be fun to share with the internet: my sister texted me (while slightly high) with the idea for this memey comic and asked me to bring the idea to life, and so I did. 🥰🌳

A 3-panel comic in simple stick figure style.
Panel 1 shows a stick figure saying "I'm gonna hug a tree!" while rushing toward a tree with a thick trunk and full head of branches and leaves. Panel 2 shows the figure hugging the tree, with an exclamation mark indicating the tree is both sentient and surprised. Panel 3 shows the figure walking off-frame and the tree blushing on it's trunk

Getting ready to see Deadpool and Wolverine in the theater, and while it's not the big open-mouthed bucket I've seen about, managed to still get a good looking bucket+soda cup combo with a cup-lid topper

4 years ago, I sewed this little fella One-One after falling in love with the animated series "Infinity Train". I gave him a place to sit by my work desk, and he seems quite content. Happy birthday lil buddy!

On the left is a plush figure of One-One, a character from the animated show "Infinity Train", with the date July 26, 2020 underneath. On the right is the same plush sitting on a shelf.
