This, but with a slutty black dress. I never embraced slutty Halloween costumes in my youth; time to do it up in my 40s.

Made my headband for my sexy Mothman Halloween costume and I’m irrationally happy. I think it looks more adorable than sexy, but still good.
A smiling woman with glasses and short blonde hair wearing a headband that has long thin black feathers sticking out of the top like moth antennae.

I got new author photos taken for my book The Tea Party from Hell and Other Stories (should be out next month!) I’m using this one because it fits the theme, but also because I look super judgy, like I just saw some bullshit go down outside and I can’t believe it.

I’ve not yet had the courage to eat at this food truck, despite the taco’s threats.

Just found a whole nother box of crap I made for my failed craft business. Thought I got rid of it all. I guess this is going to the thrift shop.

Whenever I look at my old writing, this is what it feels like. I used to be so joyful when I wrote. Now, everything feels blah and cliched. I’m trying to recover, but the world is not making it easy.

This is what someone posting a bad picture of you feels like. (Also: damn Washington Post, why you gotta talk shit about Stegosaurus like that? He’s already dead)
A clipping from The Washington Post June 23, 1912 with a picture of a Stegosaurus. The caption says “the most grotesque animal. Stegosaur who lived in Utah ages ago is a freak”

This is a suggested question to ask at a tea party, and my first and highly inappropriate response is “ball sack”.
Text reads “if you were a teabag, what flavor would you be?”

The only kind of April Fool’s joke I will accept.
A fish asks SpongeBob “can I get a couple of ice cubes in here please?” and hands him a glass. SpongeBob replies “sure, a couple of ice cubes coming up”. The fish drinks from the glass. SpongeBob giggles and says “April Fools!” The fish grabs him and demands “what did you do to my drink?” SpongeBob replies “you asked for A COUPLE of ice cubes in your drink, and I only put in one!”

Got the pink paper from a coworker. The cookies look like they have faces so I drew them.
A pink piece of paper that says “you’re a smart cookie” with an illustration of 3 chocolate chip cookies on it. The cookies look like they have faces. Below is a small sketchbook that says “cookie faces” and four drawings of what the cookies look like. One looks like “ OVO”. One looks like it’s bewildered. One looks shocked. A bonus drawing shows an alternate version where the cookie has 3 eyes and looks concerned.

It me.
A post from the Facebook group Thrifting Treasures. It ostensibly shows a stuffed orange cat with blotches of black on it like mold. Its heavy-lidded eyes are dead, its yarn whiskers are frazzled, and its expression foretells the heat death of the universe. The caption reads “Thrift store Garfield looking like Monday finally won”

Idk why, but this painting seems haunted to me. Perhaps it’s the eggs just laying there without a bowl or other container. Saw this at the Speed Museum in Louisville today
Painting by William Bailey, American, born 1930, Still Life of 10 Eggs, White Vase, Blue and White Vase and Enamel Cup, 1971, oil on canvas, 
This painting looks haunted. Maybe more surreal than haunted, but something is off.

Going to go old bat mode here: When I want a picture of a 3-headed possum version of Cerberus, I draw my own damn picture, not farm it out to AI. “But Sarah, I can’t draw!” Neither can I but I do it because it’s fun and it’s human and skill matters less than actually doing something yourself.

I’m at my writing group tonight and I finished the story I was working on, so I took the opportunity to draw this masterpiece that had been echoing in my head all afternoon.

Post from tumblr. Text reads: I think the hottest look you can give someone after they commit acts of unspeakable violence is approval. Like don’t get me wrong if there’s lust there too that’s great, but staring at someone with gore dripping down their chin and coating their hands to the wrists with undisguised appraisal and admiration. Maybe giving them a little nod as if to say well done. That’s what says yeah we’re gonna fuck nasty later. 
I could fix him, well I could pat him on the head and tell him he’s a good boy.

I saw a post on here about selfish things you’d do with stupid money and one of them for me would be buying this butter dish. Right now, my butter comes in its own dish that says “You Shittin’ Me? This Ain’t Butter?” on it.

Finished an art piece today that I’m happy with. I’m going to submit it to a local art show. It’s based off “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” by Wallace Stevens.
A collage showing a singing blackbird and a smiling blackbird. The text is from “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” by Wallace Stevens. It says “the beauty of inflections” and “the beauty of innuendos”. The picture is made of washi tape, torn scraps of distressed sheet music and labeling tape.
