The rain today being aggressive. (But it's still nice.)

Sunset was gorgeous and fiery tonight, but evening really brought the drama!

The unladylike goose honk that I uttered when I saw this image...

It's that meme of the girl holding hands with a guy, but the guy is looking back at another girl. Except it's Mitch McConnell holding hands with Death, and Death is looking back at Lindsey Graham.

Random sketch drop! I love brown paper bag paper. Brown/kraft drawing paper isn't the same paper, and nobody seems to sell actual grocery bag paper that hasn't been turned into bags yet. Anyway. This is a pull-out I did in a little sketchbook a year ago. #doodles #cryptids

Guidebook to North American Cryptids. First page of a pull-out spread drawn on a paper bag with white and black pens.

Second page of pull-out sketchbook spread, showing drawings of a Mimic and a Jackalope (brown paper bag, black pen, white ink pen).

Third page of pull-out sketchbook spread, showing a drawing of Fresno Night Crawlers (brown paper bag, black pen, white ink pen).

Fourth page of pull-out sketchbook spread, showing drawings of the Jersey Devil and Bat Boy (brown paper bag, black pen, white ink pen).

This one. Deceptively simple, and gets the point (heh) across immediately.

Today is a special #Caturday because it's also Journey's "gotcha" anniversary. Abandoned only a few days after birth, he was saved by my friend. Her apt has a no-pets policy, so she hid him, and I adopted him at three months. Now he's four years old! Our not-so-little success story! 🥰 #catsofbluesky

Journey the day he was found (April 25, 2022): a teeny neonatal kitten, probably not even a week old. He was small enough to fit in my friend's hand.

Journey a few months later, big enough to fill a shoe box. I wasn't able to take him until he was three months old, and able to run, jump, and see clearly, because I have another cat. (Friday isn't aggressive, but you never know.)

I love the older Porsche 930s because they look like frogs. I don't know if this is on purpose or a happy accident -- but all the Porsche vehicles have adorable "faces." The Boxter and the Spyder actually look like they're smiling. I'm not a car expert (OBVIOUSLY), but this is my dream car.

A green 1970s Porsche 930 with protruding headlights and a thin protruding front bumper, that make the car look like a cartoon frog.

I had a dream last night that I was watching #Supernatural, and Sam said this line. I don't know why. I watched all 15 seasons, and nobody loves a good mind-boggle like Sam Winchester.

Sam Winchester declaring that he "prefers nouvelles over mind-boggles" in a dream I had last night. "Nouvelles" means news in French, but I had to look that up, so maybe he was saying "novels" in a really pretentious way.

I know it isn't #caturday yet. Stop your doomscrolling immediately, and look at my cat's adorable overbite. LOOK AT IT. #catsofbluesky 🧛

Here's a Procreate painting I created several years ago, but in May. So, I think this fits...

Cat butts on the catio! The 🔥heat wave🔥 has finally ended.🤞🙏 My black long-haired cat Friday (under the bench) was so miserable, I had to run the AC all day. Of course, that meant he regained the energy to scratch at the closed windows & cry because he couldn't go outside.😫 #caturday #catsofbluesky

Belated #caturday greetings! 🛍️ (I've left this bag on the floor for a week or so, so my cats can play in it. The bag handles have been cut so they won't get their necks stuck.)

Happy Friday the 13th! Art by me. I found this little piece from 2022 a couple days ago, while going through some old sketchbooks. (Liquid charcoal, pen and white gouache.) 🔪🔪🔪

Caturday (sort of). I sent this photo to my jigsaw puzzle obsessed friend, so she wouldn't feel guilty about buying so many jigsaw puzzles.

Forgot all about #caturday, so here's a pic of my two cats being brave on New Year's Eve. I think their love of my cozy (fake) fur blanket outweighed their urge to hide from the fireworks. #catsofbluesky
