One of the ads from the theater pre-show. Seems like something is missing...

An ad on a theater screen advertising "WE BUY GOLD" There is a phone number listed, but no business name or website. Next to the phone number it says, "We come to you, call for appointment"

Seems sus.
No business name, just call if you have gold, give them your address & they'll come to your house.
...in the middle of the night

Three of my regulars players will not be there tonight, so I need more people, and the competition could be much less fierce! If you're in #Albuquerque, Come out and play!

Dunno what this is. I found it in the parking lot, I'm gonna wash it & glue it to some cardboard & use it as a stamp.

A cool-shaped piece of black foam that looks like it may have come off someone's car. It's got an oval in the center with four butterfly-wing like shapes and a kind of broken diamond in the middle of them. Hard to describe.

Welcome to Bluesky. Please familiarize yourself with the following accounts to understand the range of opinions it is acceptable to express.

A photo of ten nearly-identical young women. One of them is Black, and one of the white women is brunette. They all have long wavy hair, most are wearing hats, & they are all wearing tall boots and off-white sweaters. They are posing together in front of an autumn barnscape.

The vibe of this photo is honestly terrifying.

What's your favorite Bible verse? (wrong answers only) "If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning." C.Aird

My drawing of Tilda Goodnight from the book "Faking It." She is standing with arms folded in front of a checkerboard sky background, wearing a plaid button-down shirt and faded paint-stained jeans. She has short, curly dark hair and wire-rimmed glasses, and a slight smirk on her face.

If you see this, post your marine-themed art! 🌊🐚🧜‍♀️

The Gay Pirate Mermaid, with water reflections, light glinting off her scales, and the fiercest expression I could give her! The drawing is done all in shades of blue-green. She has an eyepatch, wild wavy hair, & a cutlass in one hand, which she is thrusting toward the viewer as she bares her fangs. She is wearing a dark-colored halter top trimmed with torn fisherman's netting. A long serpent-like tail with a diamond-shaped fin at the end extends out behind her. #Art #ArtSky

Now we come to my most controversial #Buffy take: I love Superstar. Jonathan was my favorite auxiliary character. I _screamed_ when he died. I'm still mad about how his story ended.

The back of the console in my car has a weird little baby owl face.

Photo of the interior console of my car from the back seat. It has two large round air vents and a small round knob below & between them. The combination looks (to me anyway) like a bird face with a tiny beak

Side A/Side B of a couple keychains that I left at Girard & Kathryn this morning. #FreeArt #EverydayArt #ArtSky

Front/back photo of a handmade keychain against a sandstone background. One side is denim with the New Mexico Zia symbol stitched in yellow, the other is red & black lumberjack plaid with a black 'Resist' fist in a white circle stamped on it.

I'm up to "that" episode of #Buffy S2 - Passion. I hate watching this episode, but it's so good. The details are just exquisite.

Here's what I did this morning while watching some truly terrible episodes from #Buffy S2 #ArtSky #watercolor #abstract

Photo of a watercolor doodle on a white sketchbook page, featuring two orange rectangles which form a stark contrast to the clouds of color all around them: greens and more orange and golden yellow, with some random patches of purple dots... all over the top of wandering, uneven pencil lines that I drew with my non-dominant hand holding the pencil between the 2nd & 3rd fingers, without looking, while watching John Ritter tell Buffy "beg to differ" before she kicked his ass down the stairs

My mom's cross from Stratford-on-Avon when she went there in the 70s.

The top is green agate, left is jasper, bottom is jade, and right is turquoise, though it doesn't show well in the photo.

Early morning Buffy rewatches are a longstanding tradition with me. This morning I watched the S2 Halloween episode and carved the backs of the eraser stamps from a few days ago. Now I have six swirly designs.

Photo of three pink erasers carved into stamps with random swirly spiral designs.
