But Beulah wasn't Elsie's only child! In 1947 there was Beauregard, and ten years later there were twins named Larrabee and Lobelia. It seems the first "living Elsie" was named "You'll Do, Lobelia", which sounds like another story in itself.

Definitely agree. Ditto anything "birthday cake" flavor, i.e. sugar with a little vanilla and a hint of plastic.

Caramel. It's mainly the texture, because I don't like sticky, but also the flavor is... fine, I guess.

I think macarons are always disappointing, too. Too sweet and something about the texture is off, and I usually do like the combination of crunchy/creamy.

I draw flowers well, and I'm not bad at birds and insects. Media-wise, I'm best at pencil and pen and ink, though I've done some decent acrylic abstracts.

I admire anyone who can draw horses! Mine always look like they're crouching down on their hind legs in a way that horses don't, though I've been practicing and I'm getting better. I can draw flowers pretty well, though.

#portfolioday, unless it was yesterday. I'm an artist and designer, currently specializing in #patterndesign. I work in a mix of traditional and digital techniques, with absolutely NO AI. I can make it look like crap on my own, thanks.

I wish somebody had told me this a long time ago, because you're absolutely right.

I had breakfast at a table next to John Byrne and Mike Mignola.

Jesus, Max, get rid of that!

Home again home again like a turtle to his balcony
and you know where that's at.

I know that time is an illusion, but I didn't realize that it had been a year and a half since I'd updated my Behance portfolio.

Two side by side "Suggested for you" account images from Threads, the first from Monica Lewinsky, the second from Hillary Clinton.

Wow, Threads sure did a thing:

That makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn, in a long brunette wig and white lace dress, her eyes closed, singing into a microphone, with the words "Coal Miner's Daughter" overhead.

Ancestrally, anyway. The town where my dad and grandmother were born played the part of Van Lear in the movie.

I have other things to do before I go to bed tonight, but I'm definitely saving that for later.

"And they play the trombone? Cool."

"So they're like monkeys, right? But with pointy ears and sharp teeth and paws?"

Yes, but I'm not good at it.

Books are my preferred media, too, but I've seen bits of enough things to maintain some cultural literacy, but I've never seen E.T. Don't plan to either.

That just happened here this morning! Septic tank. 😬

Oh MY.

Everything about this is fantastic. It would seem that carters are a species of animal (that says "ó ó ó"), and infants are born in oyster shells, or possibly that's an infant oyster.

A+++

I also make a killer uncooked applesauce: dice or shred unpeeled apples, then puree in blender with as much grated fresh ginger as you can stand, a teaspoon or so of powdered ginger, a good splash of lemon juice, a dash of salt, sweeten if necessary. A little cider or white wine doesn't hurt.

I like to roast or sauté sausages with apples and onions and maybe a bell pepper or two. Just the apples and onions sautéed together are also good. And I've made a variation of Thai green papaya salad using shredded or julienned apples.

I'm not really comfortable with the phrase "vintage weed killer". I'm guessing they don't age like fine wines.
