I have discovered the joys of sealing wax: delivering a handwritten letter to my younger sibling with an affected, “Yourrrrr letter, my liege,” which, when painstakingly opened to save the seal, read only “youse a bitch”

A closeup of a yellow envelope with a hot pink, turquoise and purple wax seal on the flap. The colors are swirled and the seal is a golden pressing of a cat surrounded by stars.

Mike Richards: terrible producer, even worse Jeopardy host, even even worse human being. Thank goodness for @clairemcnear.bsky.social helping him to show his ass to the world, because can you imagine if we were stuck with him for longer than the .2 seconds he was around?

Yesterday while on a mental health walk, I met a man in a tree. Literally. He was fascinating. He graciously agreed to let me take his portrait while he was chilling in this tree, and told me all about how in 1985 he turned into this very tree. He is one of the best people I've ever met.

An elderly man in jeans, a t-shirt and a bucket hat sits on a sturdy tree branch. He is jovial and laughing.

On an evening such as this, the best thing to do is simply listen to Barenaked Ladies on repeat so you can hear them say "I just made you say underwear" and giggle but each time you giggle less and less until you're just staring into the middle distance and that, children, is what adulthood is like

I realized today that my #ChronicPain has been around for 17 years. 17 years, every day, with no breaks, I have been in horrible pain, extremely fatigued, struggling with brain fog, in addition to the sprains, strains and subluxations from childhood on. My fibromyalgia can almost vote. Wild.

I ask again, why have I not been born with pointy elf ears, golden eyes, shimmering skin and the ethereal beauty to render anyone of any sexuality speechless? I think this was a mistake, and I would like to bring it up with the gods.

An older picture, taken after Riley overdosed on catnip and recursed into herself into the Eternal Infinicat. She saw everything, and I don't think she liked what she saw.

An orange and white tabby lying on her back on top of a cardboard scratcher. Her arms are held up in the air and blurred with movement. Her eyes are wide in a look of fear. Catnip is slightly visible on the floor and scratcher beneath her.

Definitely not me burning sage in my craft office and specifically on the shawl I'm designing because I'm having so much trouble with it that it HAS to be bad energy that's found its way into the yarn. Never me. Anyway, my office smells really good now.

Sometimes an album is good ‘cause it makes you feel like a cool teenager again and sometimes that album is From Under the Cork Tree and sometimes you don’t actually discover that album until your mid 20s and remember that you were too busy being horribly bullied in your teens to listen to cool music

when I'm writing a knitting pattern, my brain regresses to a two-month-old's understanding of math, leading my soul to evacuate my body when I have to frog days of work because I can't count to three #knitting #knittingproblems
