Hey Bluesky, have you grabbed a Halloween gift yet for your doppelganger or homunculus? I'd love for you to check out my shop. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. You can learn more about each Creature at the shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

the photography museum in paris is having an exhibit on Irving Penn, the longtime Vogue fashion photographer. they had a very simple portrait board set up in the basement and a friendly stranger was kind enough to take my photo

Portrait of me against the black background. I’m wearing a short sleeve maroon Henley T-shirt, with a purple bandanna on my neck my head is tilted slightly to the side with a half smile and I’m wearing a flat cap.

They were just the perfect level of sour for me, and they were not sweet at all like an American gherkin, which is what I was expecting when I looked at it, so it was also a nice surprise

tried on a suit i probably shouldn’t blow the money on

Another mirror selfie in the suit, holding back one side of the jacket to show off the vest. I’m also wearing a red white and blue bandanna that really sells the whole package

also great: the benign neglect of the waiters. sit at that bistro table as long as you want, they don’t give a shit

paris is fucking magic. i still don’t really eat indoors because of my long covid, and you can eat outdoors everywhere here. and I just stopped at a completely random bistro and I’m having the best pickles I’ve ever had
