OMG I did it. I built the Audrey II of my dreams. It's a cowrie shell poison ring locket on the base of another ring, w/ a flowerpot charm I got from Etsy. I need to figure out a different attachment for the cowrie shell part, b/c the jump ring & jewelry wire show, but I still love it.
Large, silver ring that looks like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. A cowrie shell has been oriented to look like a fly-trap-esque mouth, and it is surrounded by silver scrollwork that looks like petals. A flowerpot dangles at the bottom.Same ring but worn higher on my hand, with the bulk of the ring over the knuckle.

About being alive these days 🐾
A two-panel comic featuring two black cats in an interview. In the first panel, one cat holds a microphone and asks, “Mr Whiskers, do you feel prepared for all of this?” The other cat cheerfully replies, “Of course not!” In the second panel, Mr Whiskers opens his enormous round eyes and adds, “I suspect none of us were designed to process all of whatever it is that’s happening right now.”

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️
Most people don't dream of being fancy-rich.
I dream of being rich enough to say, "Treat's on me," without thinking twice. Rich enough to have a home that feels like a hug, a fridge stocked like a five-year-old with adult money, and a tray of chocolates waiting for someone to grab. Rich enough to quietly help a friend before they even have to ask. To send a care package when someone's too tired to reach out. To buy all the pencils from a kid on the street so they can go home early. For me, the real money dream isn't about luxury - it's about having enough to give, enough to comfort, enough to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

Today is the day on which Ray Bradbury's “There Will Come Soft Rains” (pub'd 1950) takes place. It’s a short elegaic story about a smart home slowly dying after its owners are wiped out in a nuclear extinction event. Re-reading it now, I’m feeling softly sucker-punched by what it has to offer us.

elymaiis on Tumblr:

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

A two-panel comic featuring a black cat.

In the first panel, the cat stares at the viewer with an unimpressed expression against a dreamy blue summer sky. The text reads: “It’s August, and some people might feel a little sad because summer will be over soon.”

In the second panel, the same cat is now wearing a large purple witch hat and smiling with closed eyes. The text reads: “Not. My. Problem.”
