I had a mini outing and hit our local craft thrift store. I found a bunch of tiny steel crochet hooks, and some really cool fabrics, plus several Bitch back issues. Then we hit Marshall’s where I found an 84 set of Kingart acrylic markers and a bag of chocolate covered gummy bears. Finally,Walmart

I have a dilemma, do I finish my Catherine Mack mystery(No One was Supposed to Die at This Wedding), Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3, or do I start @chucktingle.bsky.social Fabulous Bodies, which arrived today?

Me, 1:30pm “I’ll grab an empty box and put daddy’s dvds in them so I can shelve my unread books there. Me, 1.5 hours later: where did all these books come from? (Me, it’s me. I’m the problem haha)

I dreamed I was working on a piece to enter in Quilt National and I haven’t done that since 2008? ( I had a piece accepted for the 2005 show). I just wish I could remember what I was making because I was really excited about it

I took some boxes to the car so we can recycle when we get the mail and it was like opening the oven to check on my cornbread when I opened the front door. It’s only 9:10am.

Yesterday I got our summer watermelon, a large baby size, not an oblong. Let’s see if I can get it diced up today, lol. (The cats really loved the big ball we brought home, so I’m extra motivated)

Is there an option for alt text on our profile and banner?

A square collage on an orange background. Two women in early 1900 circus wear flank a platter with a red jello mold. A half moon rises from the bottom of the image, below the platter. A bowl of red fruits rises in front of the half moon. A pair of red and yellow starfish are at the top of the image. (Cropped image is the banner for my account, it shows the top of the women and the starfish)

I picked up some Zig Clean Color brush pens and some Zig Mangaka fineliners from JetPens and made this drawing. I really like how the brush pens blend and cover the line work without smearing and it is very satisfying to make the cross hatch and dot details with the fineliners.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

I saw there’s apparently been Bigfoot sightings in Ohio as well. 2016 had clowns, I guess 2026 is the year of Bigfoot. Maybe they can share shoes.

I just realized a lot of my FOMO started when we were in that cult that didn’t allow entertainment from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday so I had no idea what my classmates were talking about when they talked about Saturday morning cartoons or the Brady Bunch. We left when I was 8. Happy day!

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

"unfortunately we have to invite the women too” And the way there are dudes shrugging their shoulders "it's just a joke, it's not that deep". The fact misogyny is so casual is exactly why women are pissed.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.
