Someone found a big pillow to be a lean-to shelter and settled in to be the coziest girl in the entire world on my bed for like five hours today

A photo of a black cat laying on her side in a pile of multiple blankets, with a pillow leaning over her as a tent.

The same cat, eyes half closed, with one ear folded inside out.

How do you feel about mold? How do you feel about the place you grew up? Did it take care of you? Did they want you?

A map of Louisiana Arkansas, and Mississippi that's bordered by painted and sculpted mold, with more mold forming the words, "they told me love it or leave it and I did."

Mom does mostly eclectic artistic work to hang, not actually clothes, so the stuff that doesn't work for anything else works for her

The one I got her last year, I think there were a few days she got a fat quarter, but most days were "here's a couple patches worth of interesting patterned off-cuts/a handful of fixtures/several small pieces of lace/an embroidered handkerchief", for the kind of scale

I've got a month and a half before it has to be in my mom's hands, so if you wanted to poke around, I've got some time

Do you want an excuse to go around to thrift stores and shit looking for odds and ends? Cause I can give you that excuse.

Any textile people I know in the states wanna assemble my mom an advent calendar for money?

Anthropomorphic Monkey's Paw @goblinpassword.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The problem is I could assemble this myself, and shipping it internationally would like double the price of it, so I'm trying my best to find stuff that's shipping within the states, which means slogging through all the AI bullshit on Etsy these days, and and and

Last year, I managed to find my mom a perfect advent calendar, that was a "slow stitch" pile of like small cuts of interesting fabric, vintage embroidery and lace, thread and floss, notions, just a whole bunch of stuff, and I was hoping that shop would be selling them again this year, but alas

We're getting dinner at a fancy Southern fusion place for Jared's belated birthday, and I am shocked to see country captain on the menu like... Anywhere Even I've never eaten country captain

"I struggle to communicate my feelings and affection to other people and find myself isolating myself in my work and hobbies instead of engaging with those I love." Boring, wordy, too self-aware, not actionable "I have to finish the hat." I have to finish the hat

Made Ariel and our roommate watch Sunday in the Park with George over dinner, and I started crying at Children and Art, and I did not stop until the musical did

Crashing today, so here's a tiny collage made from the free business magazine I grabbed at the wedding venue yesterday

A small collage of some tentacles holding a cake and sprinkles, surprised by plants, with a paper airplane flying away in the background.

Doing the dishes and dancing to my headphones at 3am, cause I had two (2) drinks six hours ago and can't sleep, and our roommate who has a 1.5 hour commute and likes to be early to work walks into the kitchen, and we just look at each other like we were both caught doing something wrong

God, your parents (and also your goth friends) are so cool

I think there are too many weddings that are clearly designed for the audience or society or someone's parents or something, and more weddings should be just incredibly built for an audience of exactly and exclusively the people getting married

Extended family only allowed if you could also accurately describe them as friends. And then you're just inviting friends

Including the couple getting married, who were forced by family politics to invite her

Notice that she did not really try to talk to me again

This woman is obnoxiously heterosexual and everyone was hoping she wasn't going to come

Other than fucking with obnoxious relatives, the wedding was very beautiful and very like, it was one of those things where it was perfectly suited to who the couple are as people, which is lovely to see

No, my parents can't come visit us, because my brother's disabled in ways that make travel impossible. :) Yeah, he's twenty, and there's no end point where he moves out and my parents can travel. :) Do your eyes glaze over if I say "oxygen deprivation in utero"?

I haven't been to the states since I moved to Canada, because of the political situation. :) There's actually a case ongoing in my home state because of a very public transphobic assault on two trans people. :) ICE has a holding facility in my hometown. :)

Normally, part of being polite is all dodging topics that may be too much of a downer for the venue, but if Jared's most obnoxious aunt is gonna start a conversation with "how often do you travel to see your family in the States?" I will just answer honestly

Not strong enough to call anxiety, but I am like, aware in the moment when I'm just running the water for nothing and probably shouldn't be, but then I keep doing it

I give my isopods kitchen scraps, and a piece of carrot I have them has sprouted. Bioactive tank time

You've heard of big and small internet, but I'm pioneering a new technique I call left and right internet, where I just have two browser windows open with mostly the same tabs in both of them No, I don't have two monitors

I am going to calm down and slow down making stuff now. I am not going to immediately turn around and make a fourth game. I'm gonna take a fucking break and not burn myself out on a new medium.
