Sometimes capitalism is really fun. Did you know you can just buy a restaurant sushi boat?

Forget the butter lamb this Sunday. Get the mozzarella rabbit.

Just finished this 🍊 wall lamp. While this was not my intention, I guess I’m in my Georgia O’Keeffe era now.

You are an old lady who weighs 65lbs and has two bad knees. What makes you think you can fight a Toyota Tacoma? 😐

How will the killing of a cartel leader and shelter-in-place order impact your #SpringBreak2026? New York Times has some travel tips!

Today in SOCI 330 “Death & Birth” @vassar.bsky.social we are so lucky to have Matilda Garrido, a death doula, come talk about grief and mourning practices.

Happy Groundhog Day! This is the groundhog lamp I made in 2022.

“The emails are like a portal back to a lost Manhattan power scene.” What? Wasn’t ~nostalgia~ everyone’s first reaction to the Epstein emails? No? Just the NYTimes?

Delayed two hours from LGA. But yeah I guess the airports “appeared to be working largely normal” in that I paid $21 for a burrito.

The money is there for #SNAP. Trump is impeding court order to feed millions of people while continuing to pay for mass deportations. 1 in 8 families depend on SNAP. For the average person, by end of month, 95.5% of allowance is gone. These benefits are lifelines.

Lower the speed. There’s too much roadkill-cumber.

It’s really windy out—not the best condition for trick or treating. Regardless, these kids better come pick up their candy. (I’m a moth. She’s a bee.)

This took like 30mins to separate. And now I’m going to eat it like cereal.

Finished cutting the pieces for panel 2/4 of the “Piscola hunting squirrels at sunset” lamp. Here, a squirrel peeks out, wondering where his friend is. Well, his friend is dead—eaten, as depicted on panel 1/4. In the foreground, Piscola’s favorite red ball.

Panel 1/4 of “Piscola hunting squirrels at sunset” lamp is soldered and done! Some people at the workshop felt sorry for the squirrel, but don’t worry—within the squirrel community he is widely despised. Hope that helps.

Ground the pieces today for panel 1/4 of the “Piscola hunting squirrels at sunset” table lamp. #stainedglass

The New York Times is such trash. Now that we know it’s a white guy, they’re pushing this familiar narrative—lone wolf, great promise, unknown motive—and avoiding the relevant details: access to arms, involvement in white nationalism, and MAGA family.

Transatlantic crossing to Southampton. Sequestering myself at sea for 7 days on the Queen Mary 2 to get some writing done. And will spend some of this time with my sister! Credit: I definitely stole this writing retreat idea from @jinxungoh.bsky.social

The smoking skunk is done! He’s a little janky but beautiful overall. #stainedglass

Much was spent to learn she doesn’t have arthritis… just dry elbows. This is a very good but silly thing.

How am I to eat this in the same house as my dog without her thinking I am eating her treats?

I just stumbled across a Facebook group for people hoping to reunite with the horses/ponies their parents sold years ago. +80K members... thats a lot of girls holding grudges.
