The supermarket gave us a free cruddy orange canvas hat that kicked around here waiting to be put in a give-away bag or something until I learned needle felting. So... new fall-weather hat.

Yay, the toddler-bicycle push poles make excellent handles! I can push the chair without bending over double (literally impossible for more than a few meters with MY back; even that does me harm), the side can still be removed so Ruby can come off sideways, AND it still folds up!

A wheelchair with two toddler bicycle push poles attached so the person pushing it while it's reclined doesn't torch their back.

Married 33 years today. We know each other VERY well. I got him a piece of the moon (meteorite), a piece of Mars, & a bit of iron that was in the crew cabin on Apollo 8. In keeping with my "fictional merch" from my favorite things collection, he pre-ordered me this AWESOME bucket.

King's Day street sales! I looped around the local area. Scored Skylanders for my avid collector daughter, Loony Toons super 8 for my Loony Tunes and film buff husband, and for myself minerals, superheroes, and a seal that for reasons makes me think of dad who passed recently. Spent 14 bucks.

I'm #OneOfTheTwo just trying to stop waves of sickness washing across my loved ones/everyone else over & over, and to keep my daughter with severe Long Covid alive. I guess her heart problem is HILARIOUS, right @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social? Immunodeficiency, GREAT joke. Here's me. Oh NO, a mask.

Wishing you and yours joy and good fortune.

My holiday card for everyone this year. A watercolor painting of a snowscape with trees that appears as an owl in flight with space for eyes, nebulas and all. Clouds and slanting light make up the sky. The text is a quote from Vincent van Gogh: There is peace even in the storm. The years 2025 and 2026 are in the lower corners.

I'm working on spiffing up this Omnimask. I was right that this step would significantly de-emphasize the filters! Now to make it look GOOD.

A side by side comparison of myself, a dumpy greying red-haired cis woman, in two selfies. One shows me wearing my Omnimask transparant half-face respirator with white filter cartridges in three locations. The second is the same except I have put black breathable cloth on the filters and they fade away nicely.

OK so DAMN, I was out in the garden this morning and there was a hornet. I've only seen one hornet before, long ago... I assumed she was a European Hornet, a protected species. NOPE! This is an Asiatic Hornet, invasive and REALLY bad for the local ecosystem! I've reported her, of course.

This is my first novel. Reading science fiction saved my soul growing up, in some of my darkest times. I've been offering this book for free for some time, in order to give into the world as I received then. Here are some of its past equally bad covers. I'm gonna fix it! (Yes that's my real brain.)

I really want to share more photos here but typing a lot of alt text really hurts my hands and shoulder. I will though, I will. Fun with HO-scale figures and garden wildlife.

I really want to share more photos here but typing a lot of alt text really hurts my hands and shoulder. I will though, I will. Here is a big garden spider that is so badass she only eats wasps. I put an HO-scale figure in her web and she wrapped it up and checked it out thoroughly.

I REALLY hope that we can get this together. Ruby's world is so limited. She can't even sit UP. She needs distraction from the pain, and she needs her friends. Her 21st birthday is soon. Let's make it a good one. We can't know what things will be like in another year. ko-fi.com/somerandomch...

Well, I just kind of... got into it accidentally with some figures someone gave me. Over a few years I started painting the figures and learning where in the garden animals were more likely to interact and so on. I just set stuff up and wait or just start taking pictures, basically.

Thanks!!! It was one of my top lucky shots. Like these.

New handouts for when I am harassed or interrogated.

It’s OK.

I understand that seeing someone
wearing a mask can be triggering.

I’m not trying to scare you or confuse you,
I promise.

I am a caregiver. If I get sick I cannot do that.
If my loved one gets sick they might die.

Thank you for understanding.

Ha ha no; when I can, I just take a bunch of them out there and set up several scenes hoping for opportune shots, and... wait. Often in uncomfortable positions. Here are some of my luckiest shots, plus the planned one that took me *weeks* to get: Aquaman out of His Element.
