Found a canister for my protein powder that actually fits my house. I love shopping for everyday stuff when all the spooky/stuff is out. It’s way easier to find skulls, bats, and ravens!

A white ceramic canister with a black lid, covered in a black bat silhouette pattern. The lid has a small bat figure on top with painted white wing details and orange eyes, sitting on a kitchen counter.

Did I buy myself a skull hoodie in the boys department? Yes I did. I will not be taking any questions.

Selfie in a car of a woman with dark hair with blue streaks, wearing purple cat-eye glasses and a crescent moon pendant necklace. She’s wearing a gray zip-up hoodie covered in a black skull and crossbones print, worn open over a black top. Neutral, deadpan expression.

Cleaning the house and decided to take a break. This is how I chose to sit down. Cool cool, this is definitely why my hips hate me and not a medical mystery at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Overhead view of a person sitting on a brown leather couch with one leg propped up along the couch arm, foot resting near a low wooden coffee table stacked with card games including Cards Against Humanity-style boxes, Zombie Kittens, and Poetry for Neanderthals. A patterned area rug and carpet are visible around the table.

Truly bad day at work. Then @matty.wtf shows up at my house unexpectedly with a bunch of my favorite candy. I adore this guy.

Flat lay of the candy Matty brought: Skor, 100 Grand, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and Sour Patch Kids on a wood table, with books, a crocheted cat in bisexual-flag colors, and a purple foam cat-shaped dish that my daughter made holding the earrings I wore at for the backyard wedding last year.

The basement gym isn’t particularly well lit, but there can still be a rest break selfie

Stef rests between weightlifting sets in a dimly lit basement, looking directly at the camera with a focused, slightly serious expression. She wears purple-framed glasses, a burgundy sleeveless workout top, and a smartwatch, with one arm resting across the other. Black tattoos on the visible arm include a goth-style pinup girl, a cat sitting on a crescent moon surrounded by stars, and several small stars near the shoulder. Behind them is a black-and-white mural of skeletons surrounded by plants, creating a moody, gothic backdrop.

Finally got a haircut and some fresh blue! Cut off several inches!

Selfie taken in a car. I’m wearing pale purple sunglasses, a black T-shirt, and a small pendant necklace. My hair is newly cut into a shorter layered bob, black with vivid blue pieces showing through the sides. Sunlight is hitting one side of the photo, and the car interior is softly blurred in the background

My daughter is home from college, so we hit the local record shop and walked the downtown car show this evening. Records, classic cars, and a little mother-daughter wandering makes for a pretty perfect little downtown evening.

The Social Distortion album – Born to Kill hangs on a wall on a white “NOW PLAYING” shelf. The cover features a roaring leopard in bold black, orange, yellow, and hot pink artwork, with small string lights glowing around it.

@matty.wtf and I are back to lifting the heavy circles. Had to dial the weight back while we got our form back in check. Turns out I can still squat 75 lbs, which honestly feels pretty good for someone who took some time off and is decidedly 47 years old. And yes, my setup comes with skeletons.

Home gym corner with a loaded barbell on a rack and a large black and white poster of two skeletons embracing among flowers hanging on a painted cinder block wall. A small basement window lets in natural light above the poster.

Another day in the office. At least it’s Thursday and we’re seeing Panic Shack tonight. I’m a sucker for an all-girl punk band.

Life has been busy and a lot lately, but it’s Caturday, so here’s Charlie reminding us that rest is also an agenda.

Charlie, a tuxedo cat, is curled up asleep on a black-and-white patterned blanket. Sunlight is shining across her back, making her fur look glossy.

Cody sits up like a person when he wants a belly rub. It’s very effective.

A tricolor Australian Shepherd named Cody sits upright like a person on a dark leather couch, back supported by the cushions, front paws bent at the wrists and held loosely in front of his chest. He looks up with soft, expressive eyes, his white facial stripe and fluffy brown, black, and white fur clearly visible, giving him a relaxed, almost human-like pose.

@matty.wtf found the coolest place for lunch earlier!

Outdoor patio at a Nepalese restaurant with colorful prayer flags strung overhead, red planters, and metal tables on a sunlit brick terrace, with trees and mountains in the background.

This is a “we’re between washes and adapting” situation. Happens maybe three times a year. I feel like I am a pretend version of myself.

Because I am nothing if not more than one thing: I’ve been looking for The Innocent Age in shops for nine years. Walked out with that and 200 gram Soundgarden today. No notes. #nowplaying #nowspinning

Two vinyl records displayed side by side on a black-and-white blanket covered couch with black pillows behind them. On the left is Dan Fogelberg’s The Innocent Age, an off-white cover with a small image of a doll in a dress in front of a headstone.

We’re starting another Mideast war and I’m trapped at baby shower. Ugh. At least I picked the purple Converse.

Mirror selfie of a woman with black, shoulder-length hair styled with subtle waves and hints of purple. She is wearing purple cat-eye glasses, a black graphic T-shirt featuring a skeleton, and a fitted black midi skirt with ruching and a thigh-high slit. She has visible tattoos on both arms and is wearing mismatched Converse-style sneakers in gray and purple.

Moxie’s pillow looks a lot like my laundry

Purple frames, red lipstick, gray sky. If this isn’t my final form, it’s at least a strong mid-season upgrade.

Close-up selfie taken inside a car on a gray day. I’m wearing purple cat-eye glasses, red lipstick, a black-and-gray plaid flannel jacket over a dark graphic tee, and dangling gold chain earrings. I have a nose ring. The car interior and a rainy road are visible in the background

Proof that once every couple of months I wear a shirt that isn’t black.

Happy Valentine’s Day, first to my very favoritest person @matty.wtf, who makes me unreasonably happy. And second to the rest of you - However you observe it, be it enthusiastically, ironically, or not at all -I hope the day is kind to you.

Two people pose closely for a sunny outdoor selfie in front of a silver Airstream trailer and leafy greenery. The person on the left has chin-length black hair with purple highlights, glasses, rainbow heart earrings, a nose ring, and visible arm tattoos, wearing a black sleeveless shirt with colorful social justice text. The person on the right has teal-tinted hair, a beard, and a black hoodie over a shirt with bold white anti-racist lettering. Both are smiling gently at the camera.

Delaying the switch to blue until next time. The reality is the purple is still holding on like it pays rent here.

Close-up selfie of a woman sitting in a car with shoulder-length black hair featuring faded purple highlights. She wears burgundy glasses, red lipstick, and a black-and-white skeleton patterned cardigan over a black graphic T-shirt.

Changed up my record wall, no pattern or reason for what I put up, just stuff I like. (Alt text for info)

A wall-mounted display of vinyl records arranged on two narrow wooden shelves against a light-colored wall. The top shelf holds five records, including The Cure – Acoustic Hits, Harvey Danger – King James Version, an original issue of U2’s The Joshua Tree, and a Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues picture disc in a translucent amber-tinted sleeve. The bottom shelf holds four records: Talking Heads More Songs About Buildings and Food, an original issue of Depeche Mode – 101, The Police – Zenyatta Mondatta, and Smashing Pumpkins – Live at the Cabaret Metro Chicago 1993. All records are front-facing and evenly spaced as decorative wall art.

Driving to work, as always. At least January is over.

Interior of a car viewed from the front seats. A crystal charm and a rectangular tag reading “Stef & Matty – The Lovecats – Live From the Back Yard - Backstage Pass” hang from the rearview mirror. On the dashboard sits a small purple rubber duck with red accents. The windshield shows a blurred suburban street with bare trees and storefronts on a cloudy day.

Teaching my second teen how to drive. He asked if we could get magnets so people would stop tailgating while he’s learning. Honestly, if you read these and still ride the bumper, you might want to reflect on some life choices.

Two yellow-and-black student driver car magnets on a white surface. One reads “STUDENT DRIVER – Apologies in Advance.” The other reads “STUDENT DRIVER – Trying Not to Crash.”

Stepping away from the chaos for a few minutes. Needle down, world off, music on repeat.

A cozy, dimly lit corner with a record player on a black stand, its clear dust cover closed and blue light glowing. Vinyl records are stored below.

@jerdog.dev I believe I am screwed. Mine is …

Illustrated horror movie cover for Pet Sematary (1989). A large, snarling blue-black cat with glowing yellow eyes dominates the center background. Surrounding it are six distressed, blood-streaked human faces showing fear or rage, including a child holding a scalpel on the upper right. The title “PET SEMATARY” appears across the middle, with “1989” to the right and “The Classic Movie Monsters Collection” below. Dark, eerie color palette with mist, bare trees, and grave imagery creating a sinister tone.
