I saw two clowns today while out and about. Their make-up was really good and I can only describe their opposing looks as "that one meme with the goth and girly femme houses"

Have you seen the jeans that are long on one leg and short on the other? Or the heels that only have half a sole, making them useless as functional shoes?

I'm also worried about being able to do this in a span of 2 hours, so I want to make sure people can go home with some reference material in case we can't finish the project in that time 🫣

Shout out to the teachers of the world! I'm putting together an info packet to teach some filet crochet in a month and a half and man, is it a challenge It's for two skill levels: completely beginner crocheters, and more experienced ones

The expectation in the US on how friendly you need to be when doing any customer-facing job is, frankly, exhausting.

I'm much more accustomed to people asking me why I still mask. And I answer them honestly: I don't want to get sick. With COVID, with the flu, with strep... with literally anything. And even *those* questions a rare occurance.

Erin M Speckley @speckley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I'm surprised it's taken this long for a stranger passing by on the street to directly say to me "there's no more COVID" while I was outside, masking. I ignored them. They're wrong: COVID is still here. Just like a bunch of other respiratory illnesses I ALSO don't want to catch.

Kinda wish they would've had a portrait of Peter Weyland instead. At least the corporate horror of the Alien franchise is more accurate to where we're at...

Another goal of the covid conscious lesbian bar hit piece is to make disease mitigations a basis for mockery and social ostracization So that when the next plague/mass disabling event happens (and more are coming), the "surplus" population will die off that much faster and quieter

RLP, another reminder: "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" applies to things you NEED for survival at base level (food, water, etc). Not as some gotcha moment so you can consume Harry fuckin' Potter guilt-free

There's a lot we don't know about AltNPS. Their real name, for example. Their nationality. How long they've controlled the account. But there's a surprising amount that we DO know about the Alt National Park Service 🧵:

Alt National Park Service: Not all echoes are meant to return. The lights flicker not from power loss, but memory. When the clock chimes out of rhythm and the sky hums a little too low, you’ll understand what wasn’t written. Some birds don’t migrate—they vanish.

The commissioner for this piece gave me complete free reign on the design, no sketches or anything. I'm hoping they like it?? Going for vague eldritch horror, with a lil bit of vampire squid as inspiration. There's still a lot more to be done #WIP #Embroidery #FiberArt

A black bucket hat held up against a blue and white quilt. The hat is embroidered with white outlines of eyes. Small purple stitches give the impression of a tentacled beast that the eyes belong to. They all stare in different directions... perhaps some of them at you, perhaps through you. Who can truly say.

Obviously, you've got to get a small framed photo and hide it around the house instead. And once they find it, you move it to a new place (JC don't look at this.)

Omg it’s finally here! It was a career highlight to be able to spend my time making something like this! It came at a point when I was feeling very burnt out and it this was a project that breathed life into me again. I am so grateful to Cartoon Network for this opportunity youtu.be/IarVMeWtFVU?...

Another Lascaux horse. From last Autumn.

Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux. The horse is yellow, with an orange neck/face. It starts on the left/hindquarters as a cave painting and then becomes more three dimensional to the right/front. The background of the relief is textured to look rock-like. There are various painted lines around the horse including two that look like feathers, and 4 parallel lines above.

I'm really on a slug kick when it comes to my art, lately. Soon, people will be calling me The Slug Lady. It is but one step on the journey to being The Bat Lady. And boy is it a fun step
