This squirrel sounds like he smokes a pack a day and wants you to get off his lawn. (Sound at about 8 seconds). He sits here outside my kitchen window and yells until I come to say hello.

Sometimes you just gotta draw something silly. This alien would like to paint you.
Messy watercolor of a mantis-inspired alien with a weird exposed brain, a clacky beak, a scorpion tail. It is holding a paintbrush at an easel

Experiments in the continuing effort to combine my long-term interest (and business) in tie dye, with my more recent interest in leather work, specifically journal covers because boy howdy do I love a notebook that is pretty to look at and pleasing to touch. So far none of these are winning.

I found the Yom Kippur traditional Poster's Confession really meaningful this year.
We have subtweeted. We have argued in bad faith. We have dogpiled. We have uploaded images with no alt text. We have read the replies of our mutuals without leaving a courtesy like, and we have become irrationally angry when our posts did not get a courtesy like. We have thirsted and we have judged others for their thirst. We have posted bait, and we have taken the bait of others. We have posted cringe, we have been horny on main, we have assumed that someone’s retweet was an endorsement. We have posted things which are true but unkind. We have posted things which are kind but we knew to be false. We have scrolled when we should be sleeping or paying attention to our loved ones. We have replied seriously to a joke. We have strayed from Your good terms & services and it has not made our lives better.

Fun experience tonight: in a restaurant with friends, was approached by a very familiar-looking woman who reminded me excitedly that I taught her to knit, like 17 or 18 years ago. It's especially gratifying because teaching knitting was my favorite job.

Sometimes something happens in dance class that begs to be illustrated.

Sir Arthur is innocent of any rumors you may have heard about harassing the other cats. He is a sweet innocent angel boy, just look at that face.

TFW you find a charm and make a whole cover to go with it, and then discover you already had matching contents. Leather cover dyed with shaving cream, leather dye, fountain pen ink, and painted with acrylic paints and glitter. Hand sewn, with pen sleeves, a handmade sketchbook and a nice journal.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Assorted cats stamps testing, part 2.
A piece of paper with a column of linocut stamps in black, purple, and orange. There is a cat stretching, one sleeping in a ball, sitting up with curled tail, sticking its head in a box, and hissing with arched back. Next the the column are the stamps, offset in position by one to suggest a pattern.

Getting ready for a project in a couple days for which I need a variety of cats. The black one is from my #the100dayproject, the orange one is new. What other classic cat poses do I need? Sitting up like an Egyptian statue, arched and hissy - jumping to catch something?
A kitchen table with a tiny lino carving blade, a scrap of paper withe two stamps, and the respective pink blocks used. One stamp is a black cat with its head down, butt up, tail held high, examining something on the ground  the other is a striped orange cat curled in a ball to sleep with its tail covering its eyes, in a round frame as if on a cat bed.

You may have heard rumors that Miss Dorothy is all enormous tail and fluffy pantaloons, but I assure you she is also mostly belly.
A ridiculously fluffy fat orange cat reclines on her back on the carpet, back legs splayed apart as if to invite pets. It's a lie.

Apparently I am this many years old: I sat down and made my emergency contact a phone list. After watching the friend group spring into action for a loved one, I encourage you to do the same. It's not necessarily an "if I die" list, it's also a "I can't be there to figure this out for you" list.
A sheet of notepaper titled "who to text if things go pear-shaped" with categories of Family, Friends who will start the local support train, Friends who will start the further support train and/or want/need to be updated, Next ring out, Further. At the bottom there is a further note "my phone passcode is" and instructions about how to locate other passwords. All the actual info is blurred out.
