iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Last week was emotionally taxing and this week I've been sick. And today is made for snuggling in bed with the cat. So now I'm two weeks behind in everything.

Mom sent the cats a present. I think they like it.

A large grey felt donut with an opening in the side. It is hollow. There is a black cat with alert ears sitting on top of the donut. There is a grey cat sitting inside the donut. In a few seconds, they will return to play-fighting.

Never open up a wall or a floor in a 120+ year old house. Just slap some spackle on the outside and hope it holds until it's someone else's problem.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Just saw a series of social media posts with the caption: Millennial (1972-1995) or Gen-Z (1996-2012) XX which is you? And this is the most GenX I have ever felt.

maybe someone can ask the mayoral candidates what they would do to stop this slow motion disaster. it's heartbreaking to read the interviewees say they don't see a future for Black Chicago

Failed to get the gabapentin into the nervous cat before the concrete drilling started in the basement. I am something akin to the worst human being who ever lived.

When you are cisgender, it is hard to extend your imagination to the experience of a transgender person. It’s a really different experience! But people’s fanatical refusal to consider the possibility that their child’s difference is not defiance is breathtaking.

Goblin: what's new to be anxious about, what's old to be anxious about and how great climbing a pole is when you're anxious. Gremlin: how late breakfast was, just how many birds were doing that crazy-ass bird stuff in his yard, how great Goblin is & how mighty Gremlin is.

A grey cat stands next to a sisal-wrapped pole. He is looking anxiously at the camera.
A black cat stands a few feet away from the grey cat. His stare is boring through the camera.

The thing about NYT interviewees comparing Rahm to uninspired sex or Windows 95 is that neither of those are fatal and he is not just any out of touch Boomer but actively poisonous. If you want to compare him to other things from the 90s, maybe cigarette smoking in restaurants

I just explained #16ShotsAndACoverUp to a room full of people not from Chicago who thought "no, we won't get behind him" was hyperbole. Then we got to explain that all the $$ that pays for #Chicago #Police killing teenagers comes from our budget, not theirs.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

People in Chicago are largely wrong about what temperatures are good to hang outside in. The patio was mostly empty yesterday! It’s finally time you can sit outside and not melt into the furniture! Show off your cute sweaters and hoodies!

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

Apothecary Lounge. Finally.

Four cocktails on a table next to a tall green bottle full of water. One is frosty, one has foam and fruit, one is pale blue with a flower stuck to a fancy ice cube, one has a giant sprig of mint and so much ice.
