I’m very happy with my recent @peculiarityshop.bsky.social purchases, but I will have to resist their temptations for the next while. Now I just need to decide where to tuck this bonus skull before the kid gets home for maximum spooky surprise.
An iridescent plastic skull grins down at a hand with four rings: a silver branch of colorfully studded leaves, a two-tone band, an inlay of blue opal and lapis, and a rainbow spinner.

I regret to inform you that everything still sucks BUT ALSO there are lots of cool little guys and weird little goblins and oddballs and freaks running around doing cool stuff and trying to make things better and safer and sexier and nicer!

I’ve been meaning to grab some more tests before the school year starts back up, so I’m glad to catch the 3-in-1 covid/flu tests on sale.

My birthday presents from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social have both arrived! I thought I was done with just the ring (so fun to spin the middle rings!), but then they got me again a few days later with the bracelet.

Every time you wear a mask, you reinforce for other people that it's okay to do it, in addition to the protection it provides. I refuse to feel bad or weird about it. It's just a thing I do. And I hope I'm helping others feel more confident about masking as well.

So true 🤣
Tumblr post by recurring-polynya: “never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.”

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Callie hopes you have a chance to curl up on a piece of crinkly paper for a nap today, or burrow under it to hide from the world. Whichever sounds better to you.
A calico cat stares up at the camera from the bed she has made out of a crinkled piece of brown packing paper. The yellow mouse toy that she treats like a baby is tucked in behind her head.

Running away from real life for the week. Gonna read, craft, nap, watch the water drift by, and ignore the news for a while.

Spending part of Ms13’s spring break in Detroit. Enjoyed Cézanne’s Ode to the Locked Tomb Series at the art museum.
Paul Cezanne’s oil painting titled “The Three Skulls.” It’s just a very detailed depiction of three skulls on a plain wooden table.

The premise that women and people of color who make it into positions of authority are "DEI hires" and the white men made it on merit is the exact opposite of reality and anyone who's paid any attention to the world for more than 5 minutes knows it.

The dangers of leaving your family members in the car while you run in to grab something real quick.
A skeleton sits in the back seat of a white car in a parking lot. It gazes out the side window looking away from the camera; jaw slightly open as if silently screaming.
