how it feels trying to lower the tbr pile while actively contributing to the tbr pile

The robot was placed behind clear acrylic walls and it had one job – to contain the deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When it senses that the liquid has trickled past the mark, it frantically brushes the liquid back.

VITAL book. I speak from personal experience. One-third of domestic violence victims don’t want to abandon their pet(s), which makes it harder to get away. Shelters rarely accept animals. (This is *gradually* changing.) Amazon links in the Alt text, if you’d like to grab a copy! #domesticviolence

I’m holding a copy of Not Without My Pet: Understanding the relationship between victims of domestic violence and their pets (Andrew M. Campbell, 2021).

Gloria Steinem was never a hero in my household (of course). She was a troublemaker. She said and did things that women were not supposed to say or do. At first I, too, thought she was a pot stirrer, because that’s how outspoken women were defined in my family. But eventually, I became [more]

#portfolioday My name is Elizabeth and I am a mixed media artist and author from Victoria, Australia. I mostly create art dolls and I have two picture books and one horror/mystery short story collection. Pictured are some of the dolls I have made in 2026 so far! #artdolls

Photo of twelve dolls - two are hanging from a shelf, two are sitting on a table, one is on a doll couch on the table. Three are leaning against a frame under the table. One is standing up to the right of the three sitting dolls. Above her is a doll amongst faux greenery. There are two dolls in a faux tomb.

Three dolls are sitting on a rug, leaning againt a frame. The doll on the left has a flower print gown and a floral crown, next to her is a creepy man doll in a blue robe with a walking stick lying across his lap, next to him is a creepy man doll in a hooded green robe with a key hanging from his waist. In front of him is a faux tomb with two dolls lying inside. Above them is a ghost doll in white.

To the left is a green skinned doll in black with a branch behind her, sitting on the table is a doll in a rabbit outfit, beside her is a rabbit with a drum, beside him hanging above is a creepy man in a brown robe. Below him is a creepy woman in a white robe sitting on a doll couch.
