Non-binary clog cobbler based in DC. I'm working in extended sizes - because it's not the size of your foot that's a problem; it's the size of your shoes.

I was toying with the idea of Mallows: The Peeps of Fate. I had a Barbie car, two stuffed peeps and a Mallows cloak.
A stuffed marshmallow peep in a black cloak with two red peeps on it - reminiscent of the masters cloak in Manos: The hands of Fate.

Baked a low sugar pound cake today. Although, with low sugar, it tastes more like pound than cake.

Joe Biden must be spinning in his grave. The Acela livery says: "Delivered by President DJT..." (And before you say anything, I know Biden only looks dead.)

Done voting! Now for a celebratory hot dog.
Maryland I Voted sticker with a Black Eyed Susan in the center, and around the flower: and oriole, a crab and a race horse. (Because for some reason they think we still like racing horses for sport?)

Its a special T-T-T-Tooly Tuesday (so special it's on a Wednesday) I've just finished work in the splinter factory on my new glue box. I don't know if I should be proud because I finished it - or ashamed, as it will definitely give me either tetanus or splinters.

Is this a sign? Does this mean I never have to shovel my walk again? Does this mean I don't throw away things until it's too late? Or does it mean I have to go to Ace Hardware today and buy a new one? 🤬

#EyeOnTheBallDC for November 2025. Meatball panini from Pupatella - I won't be throwing this sandwich, no matter how evil the target. Meatballs were good, not very sloppy. A solid entrance. The first sandwich - so it gets last place. 🍝🍝🍝🍝

Trying to bag out my bolero. I'm not enough of a topology nerd to know if it's two mobius straps, or the makings of a Klein bottle. Either way, I'm going to need to start over.

Went to see some art before it's censored again. Turns out lots of tourists have nothing to do in DC with the shutdown, and are learning of the friends of DJT.

Deer are doing there part to clean up after a storm yesterday. I would say it will take them a long time, but I think they outnumber squirrels around here.

#ChickenReport Friday the 13th Roscoe the Rooster The citizens of Takoma Park, MD have adopted Roscoe as their symbol. In the day, citizens would thwart the evil animal catcher who would terrorize the rooster. Eventually, they gave up, and Roscoe could strut his stuff in comfort. 🐓🐓🐓

My last may look injured, but I really just placed some masking tape on to force a little bit of ease. I went through the trouble of coming up with an equation to tell me how many layers I needed - only to find it's easier to just throw some tape on and take a new measurement.
