Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

I'm a graphic designer but when represented in film I'm either a quirky artsy stereotype who Follows Her Own Style or a Type A advertising junior exec with drive but no creativity but for sure A Man Will Fix Whatever's Wrong With My Life.

Elizabethtown KY #NoKings This span is ~450 ft and protestors are generally 2 deep, so it's 200 or more people despite the pouring rain.

The Mouse Catcher. Mercury kept trying to sit on my work computer mouse so I deployed decoys. In this picture, he's lying on TWO wireless mouses with a third in front of him.
A black cat lies on top of a computer desk backlit by a monitor. The Logitech logo of one computer mouse is barely visible beneath his chest, while another wireless mouse rests nearby, presently unmolested by the cat. There is no sign of the the third wireless mouse mentioned in the post.

Monocular baby Burz update! What you DON'T see here in his habitual intense stare is just how loudly he's purring.

Sweet boy Burz continues to heal well. His stitches are purple, which is his favorite color anyway, and his fur is growing back in nicely. He's also SLIGHTLY less grumpy toward psycho-boy Merc, which is probably mostly because Burz feels better in general with that sore eye gone.

Until I shared it them this weekend, members of family were previously unaware of one of my favorite Will Rogers quotes, so now I will make sure to share it with you all: "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

Despite otherwise participating in today's economic blackout, I'll be writing a huge check for my boy Burz's eye surgery; he had his left eye removed yesterday and has been terrorizing the vet's office ever since with his GROMPY self. Poor baby.

What am I doing in the "off season"? Well, I have a few commission orders to make, some Christmas gifts to make, a little D&D to play, and also took Booth Cat Mercury out to Petsmart so he could watch the exotic birds channel on Cat TV.

Use a GIF to show where you’re from Not everyone can pick a GIF from a movie titled after their hometown that had nothing to do with the town, was mostly filmed in other towns, and is memorable only for the origination of the term "manic pixie dream girl" to describe Kirsten Dunst's character 🙃

I was sharing, once again, the Slate article about YourSlipIsShowing, and I thought to myself "Thank FUCK Fiqah didn't live to see how this year's election turned out." Anyway, the article: slate.com/technology/2...

Years Ago, Black Feminists Worked Together to Unmask Twitter Trolls Posing as Women of Color. If Only More People Paid Attention.
The fake accounts had handles like @NayNayCantStop, @LatrineWatts, and @CisHate, and bios like “Queer + black + angry.”

How could a trans ban affect me, a cis female? Well: 1) I don't own a purse. I carry my wallet/keys, etc. in my pockets. 2) I'm overweight and don't really have a waist. I'm also short torso, so women's jeans don't fit well. The low rise ones come up to my waist.

The annoying thing about having been disconnected from my tweeps because of the steaming xitpile Felon Muscovite was that none of them knew that *I* was missing this year. I got COVID in December last year and lost nearly all of 2024 to an endless cycle of brain fog and dysfunction.

Now that the eXodus is getting my old crew back together again, I may have to start checking this app again more often. I've been on Threads more lately because it's been active in the TTRPG/D&D space, which I've been heavily nerding-out in lately.

It might not have seemed possible, but Mister Murderface's glare is even MORE frightening with only one good eye. (Unfortunately, Bluesky lacks appropriate "sensitive image" warnings, so flagged as "suggestive") #NickFurry #IWouldGetHimAnEyepatchIfHeWouldWearIt #pirateCat #NoItDoesntHurtHim

We need a droplist for authors who use AI to write or to make their cover art. Don't work with them, don't promote them, don't blurb them. We need to treat them like scabs, because this is scabbing behavior.

Great news in Johnston, IA. Three current school board members are connected to "Moms for Liberty" and the right-wing organization only needed to win one seat tonight to gain full control of the school board. They lost all four seats, setting up a progressive majority instead.
