@erikahall.bsky.social I was made aware of PDX "Werid Fest" and the Chicken Beauty Contest over the weekend and *immediately* thought of you. It's Sep 19 just in case you feel the urge to get some Clickens inspo...

An illustrated poster advertising a Chicken Beauty Contest at Weird Fest in Portland, Oregon. Three fancy chickens walk down a fashion show runway while audience members hold up signs that say "Yas, Queen!" and "Werk It".

@monteiro.bsky.social and @erikahall.bsky.social I saw this print at @birdhousetattoo.bsky.social in PDX this weekend and felt like it was relevant to your interests 😂 (cc: @floridanorcross.bsky.social )

A two color poster with a black guillotine above the words "live laugh love" in red gothic type.

Hot take: AI is just a less cool version of Conky from Peewee's Playhouse.

My sister got an adorable new dachsund puppy. I get to visit in 2 weeks when she is still in the puppy breath stage and I'm more excited for that than my nephew's graduation.

A blonde dachsund puppy with curly ears being adorable.

Let's throw in Nancy as a bonus treat...

A puppet depiction of a ghoulish Ronald Reagan wearing striped pajamas in bed with a teddy bear while Nancy looks on wearing a snorkeling mask for some wacky ass reason. Also her hands look gangrenous.

I got my dog one of these when she was a tiny puppy intent on chewing every piece of plastic in the world and watching her run around with it joyfully was sincerely one of the funniest things I've ever seen. We called it "The Kong Dong"

Wore this to 80s week at Pilates yesterday so I'm extra ready. (Sadly because I wasn't wearing neon and a side pony none of the 12 year olds in my class clocked it as both hilarious and from the 80s gear)

I mean I could get behind a vindictive therapist, honestly.

Martha Stewart in her documentary saying "She had written horrible things about me during the entire trial. She's dead now, thank goodness. Nobody has to put up with that crap he was writing." (Plot twist--the Post columnist was not, in fact, dead.)

So basically I'm just going to be tongue tied and/or pulling a Chris Farley during every session. (Fun fact: my current actual therapist looks so much like Sandra Bernhard I sort of expect her to do some jazz scatting after I spill my guts 😆)

Kristin Kish (one of the hosts of Top Chef) is standing with her fingers interlaced. She is wearing a black pinstriped vest with gold buttons and some badass jeans with a black velvet pseudo-tuxedo stripe looking hot AF.

"You will be visited by three spirits" The three spirits:

Three characters from John Waters movies. Kathleen Turner holding scissors from Serial Mom. Divine from Pink Flamingos in a red dress pointing a gun at someone. Rikki Lake from Hairspray with a bouffant hairdo looks over her shoulder at the camera.

A stack of Christmas lights labeled "Flickering Lights" in all caps. The "L" and the "I" in "Flickering" are set so close together they appear to be a "U"--which changes the word significantly"

I have very rational conversations with Millie about how I can not throw the ball right now because I have adult responsibilities like going to meetings and cooking dinner. She does not care.

It's been so fun looking through my old ass project archive folder I'm gonna keep posting stuff... Introducing "Dot Organized"--a #genesiswp theme that never made it past an initial home page concept.

A screenshot of a website homepage. It has a yellow background with a notebook paper stripe overlay. It is designed in a whimsical style. The main header features a slider (yikes) featuring a cartoon woman holding a pencil and calculator and a grid of recent blog posts.
