Letterpress printing a perzine since 1996 means that I’ve been publishing my life longer than I haven’t been. Also I like cats and vegan baking. I’m a huge LotR nerd and practice HEMA.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
A black and white digital ink illustration on a toned paper background. An homage to the original illustrations by Garth Williams for E. B. White’s book ‘Charlotte’s Web’. Standing in a wooden doorway to a barn is a contented looking young pig. Across the top hall of the doorway are several spiderwebs that have the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’ webbed into them. The spider who made them is hanging down on a filament at the pig’s eye level.

@kerbloom.bsky.social and I just finished this puzzle. Challenging but not as impossible feeling as some. Hardest part was the included poster was tiny and thus not very helpful.
Completed 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of northern and southern hemisphere stars. Two dark circles of the star charts in the middle of the puzzle surrounded by lighter background that contains text and smaller charts of planet rotation. Text at top of puzzle is “Celestial Chart”.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
A digital recreation of a panel of the comic Nancy by Olivia James. The titular character, Nancy, is riding a hoverboard-type scooter, holding a digital music player in one hand and a phone on a selfie stick in the other. She's wearing those 80s Venetian blind sunglasses. All the colors are weird inversions or variations from the actual panel colors. In a large speech balloon above her head Nancy is saying 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Digital illustration of a Honey Badger, an ill-tempered beastie, mostly brownish black except for the top of its head and back which are white. It has big front claws and is making a big rawr face. Badger is standing on what looks like a cube that has been cut out of the earth. The top is grass and two side faces of the dirt and clay cube showing outward are carved into letters spelling ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Digital illustration in a black and white graphite style. An anthropomorphic hot dog with mustard wearing a straw boater, gloves, big wingtip shoes, and carrying a cane is doing an outrageous strut. The background is piled with the phrase ’ maybe it will happen today’.

A tab and black striped house cat with light green eyes looks at the camera while behind the cat is a person in jeans and a light green tshirt and black long sleeves at a table working on a gingerbread house which can barely be made out.

The teen had wanted to have a tree for the winter holiday for awhile, and while I don’t necessarily need a tree I have a LOT of ornaments from my childhood. So my beloved found this tree on a curb earlier this year and now here it is with the softest ornaments in case the cat wants to dance with it.
A small silver holiday tree sits on a light colored table. Mostly fabric ornaments of different colors hang on the tree. Behind the tree is a white wall with four stockings hung on the wall.
