Their cloud forest cardamom is fantastic.

Two bunnies (one larger, one smaller) made out of discarded Mio water flavor bottles, wire, round plastic cylinders, screw nuts and pencil erasers.

I made a little family of "trash bunnies" to bring with me to the couple of flea markets I have before Easter. I was originally going to use the bottle and such as a "skeleton" of sort underneath some sculpting clay, but I like them much better made entirely out of trash.

Thank you, Will!! ❤️❤️

Oooh! Is this public domain? I would love this fantastic kitty to add to the collection. (Otherwise, I'll have to make a Viking opera hat for one of my cats and photograph them before they kill me for it.)

Three tiny gilded frames, each containing a photo of a cat in Victorian clothing, the clothing is painted bright colors.

New Victorian Cat Magnets for 2026! I found three new Victorian cat postcards, and these are copied, colored with watercolor, and turned into magnets. I'll have them at the Providence Flea this Sunday (3/1/26) and will have them on my site afterward.

Ah, yes, someone in the "I used to read until I learned what an absolute shit he was," pile. May he rest on a pile of Legos with bare feet for eternity.

I watch artists who do fairs and shows on YouTube. One that I follow brings copies of her self-published book with her and sells them at events, as well, so I ordered a number of author copies of my self-published short stories to take. And I thought I'd plug it here, too! a.co/d/07yAH7HF

Four small, white, square frames, each containing a metallic textured abstract painting.

A new offering, which I'll be putting out at the Providence Flea this Sunday (3/1) and then offering on my site. Tiny (4"x4" frames) little textured paintings. I thought these would work really well for people looking for a small bit of color or to fill a gap in a gallery wall.

I......that's an interesting approach, but if we're at that point, I think I'll wait until I'm completely out of money, lol. I get it, anything to fool the machines, but if we're at that point of stupidity, it may be time to take up OnlyFans. Maybe there's an audience for pasty-white senior citizens

I cannot square the circle enough to continue to use an AI tool to build resumes for me, and I've kept my experiment as lightly-touching AI as I possibly can, but my limited experiment evidence is clear...systems are only looking for things AI builds.

I've been assured by a recruiter I trust that all resumes are being looked at by humans at some point, but the immediacy with which I've been contacted for jobs that I would have been recruited into two years ago, if I let AI build the resume, shows me it's a rigged system.

I've done an experiment the past few weeks, applying to jobs in two ways...some with a resume I've custom-built based on very limited AI (through LinkedIn's built-in tool) and some with resumes I've had custom-built through an AI tool

The ONLY calls I've gotten for interviews have been AI-written.

I sent out my February Card Club cards the other day...I have a couple of new members, but for $4/month, you get a hand-painted card each month, mailed to you to keep or send to someone else! ko-fi.com/R6R3NQU3/tiers

Found “bunnies” made out of bottles, wire and plastic bits.

Four “Easter Bunnies,” or at least the skeletons of them. The feet are desiccant inserts that I collected from pill bottles over the year. They’ll be covered in clay, but I really like this unfinished state.

"'Comics' is IN THE NAME!!! No, I'm going, I'm going..."

I see Aimee Mann, I have to once again vent my grudge that as a cashier there, she used to shoo me out of Newbury Comics for reading the comics back before 'til tuesday hit the charts. (Yes, she's an amazing musician, blah blah blah....GRUDGE!)

Puffy, cheesy souffle in a dish .

I made Vaughn Vreeland's cheese puff as a mid-blizzard lunch today. It's like a grilled cheddar sandwich souffle SO GOOD! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026...

Thank you so much! It's been a long time!

OMG, y'all, I got a contract for a 3-month temp gig at a friend's company AND had a really, really good interview for a Knowledge Management position in a company that's five minutes' walk from my house!

Heh. We are on similar tangents today.

A straight woman friend of mine asked if I'd seen "Heated Rivalry," and I said that I wasn't interested, and she said that all the gay male romance novels were either hockey or baseball right now, which makes me think gay romance is written for straight women

It also kind of goes into, "Gay romance is great so long as the guys are really, really masc-coded, and not femme at all," which is another discussion.

Honest question...everyone going gaga over "Pillion" and "Heated Rivalry" nowadays...did we give up on gay actors being cast for gay roles, or is that only if the roles don't have to be hot people?

I had my coaching session for my Moth GrandSLAM story this afternoon...it's shaping up to a decent story, though I hate my stories until I tell them in front of an audience. It goes up on March 2nd in Boston, so get your tickets if you'd like to be there! www.bostontheatrescene.com/shows-and-ev...

I'm getting ready to work on my Moth GrandSLAM story with a coach tomorrow (every GrandSLAM story has a coaching session for the bigger event) and I'm uploading another older StorySLAM story from the past to my YouTube youtu.be/kYlpd_sAR0E?...

I own a lovely puffin by @chloecumming.bsky.social and I can say the originals are even more vibrant than what you see onscreen. This blue fox is wonderful, and someone should buy it.

I love how the royal family can just say that someone who was born into the role of "prince" isn't a prince anymore when it's convenient for them. "Oh him? We don't know him." Rotten fruit of the rotten tree.

Two cats in a cat bed, one with his arm over the other, like a hug.
