Don't forget to vote no to Ken Sim's stupid fear mongering plebiscite questions. Unless you wanna give the city a mandate to waste more money trying to win the war on drugs using cops and involuntary commitment while steadfastly ignoring every scientifically proven way to actually reduce drug use.

Hey Bluesky, have you grabbed a Halloween gift yet for your doppelganger or homunculus? I'd love for you to check out my shop. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. You can learn more about each Creature at the shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.
