ephemeral Rolodex soup

A vibrant, emotional mixed-media portrait of a crying young woman with flushed cheeks and glossy eyes, painted in warm pinks, reds, and aquas. Her reddish-brown hair is curly and pulled up, with tendrils framing her face. Above and around her head, large hand-lettered text in pink and purple reads, “NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER.” A pink heart is drawn on her shoulder. She appears strong yet vulnerable. The piece is taped to a drawing board, surrounded by colorful “Twistable Bear Crayons” and art tools, including brushes and pastel markers. Legs with floral tattoos are visible in the background, subtly lit by sunlight.

Another in my parts portrait series…

She showed up mid-scene.
Didn’t say where she came from. Didn’t need to.
Took the corner, rearranged it. Left the walls wondering what just happened.
Stayed long enough to soften the paint.

i’ve played this role before; maybe it’s time again... 😹

A stylized pencil drawing in progress of a big-eyed girl with cat ears, ribbon bows, and a solemn, uncanny expression. The sketch is finely shaded with detailed eyes and lips, surrounded by pencils, erasers, and signs of active work.

Nice to be getting reacquainted with my pencils. Not that we ever really knew each other. But they seem cool with it.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Work-in-progress traditional illustration of two girls sitting closely together. One has curly blonde hair and wears a sheer blue blouse, while the other has mint green hair with a blue bow and wears a mauve-pink dress. Both figures have large, expressive eyes and flushed cheeks, looking slightly upward. The piece is taped down with pink tape, surrounded by visible paint smudges and a clipboard, indicating it’s mid-process.

A portrait created with silky toddler crayons depicts a young woman with green eyes and long, wavy brown hair. A large pink bow sits atop her head, its fabric appearing slightly stiff. Her lips, painted a deep red, part slightly as if she gasps or prepares to speak. Tears streak down her cheeks, shimmering in blue and white highlights. The background, textured in rich purple, contrasts with the warm tones of her hair and skin. Bold yellow text, uneven and expressive, reads: “I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE.” Around the artwork, scattered silky toddler crayons suggest an in-progress creation, their vibrant hues mirroring the saturated colors within the portrait.

a crayon in hand I commit an act of color. The bow arrives first, too pink, too confident, like it walked in knowing something. Tears next, completely unsupervised. The words crash down, yelling before I even invite them: “I’M NOT CRYING.”

I press harder. The crayons giggle. I don’t trust them.

Some more crayon art today...

A vibrant crayon drawing of a doll-like girl with exaggerated features, including large, striking blue eyes, pouty pink lips, and long blonde hair styled into two high buns. She gazes outward with a dreamy, slightly dazed expression, her hand resting gently on her cheek. The background is a rich magenta with a halo of yellow around her head. A neon-like sign above her reads ‘ALLOWED LABEL’ in bold, colorful letters, while an arrow points to the words ‘Cute Doll’ on her oversized white t-shirt. The art style blends pop surrealism with vintage toy aesthetics, evoking themes of identity, labeling, and hyper-femininity.

Finished this today....
a little crayon scribble for the win.

A surreal living doll with a smooth porcelain face and large, expressive eyes, adorned with an intricate crown of roses and lace. A section of its head is removed, revealing an interior filled with intricate mechanical circuits and a small alien-like figure sitting inside, as if controlling it. The contrast between the delicate floral aesthetics and the cybernetic interior creates a dreamlike fusion of organic and artificial elements.

A living doll with an ethereal, pastel aesthetic gazes through a glass orb, her face adorned with delicate freckles and surrounded by blooming flowers and fungi. Inside the orb, a tiny humanoid figure with a mushroom cap interacts with a futuristic control panel embedded in a pink, brain-like structure. The glowing interface suggests a whimsical, sci-fi narrative where cognition and technology intertwine.

A baroque-style framed display holds a alien doll with oversized eyes, dressed in a vintage mint-green outfit. The doll rests within a sculpted pink brain, and a control panel covered in cryptic symbols and colorful buttons is embedded beside her. The intricate gold details on the frame and the eerie juxtaposition of innocence and machinery evoke a sense of a forgotten, mechanical dollhouse.

A futuristic alien doll with large, reflective eyes sits inside an opulent, egg-shaped control chamber that resembles a fusion of a Rococo vanity and a cybernetic cockpit. The chamber is lined with soft, pink brain-like textures, and its interface glows with an array of golden controls and gemstones. The surrounding room is decorated with antique furnishings and small, cherub-like figures, creating a striking blend of classic luxury and sci-fi surrealism.

so I keep forgetting this place exists... anyhow here’s a little bit of a project I'm working on...

I want a rpg like Dragon Age except it’s Bridgerton and you have to find a suitable partner before the end of the game through stealth and dates but you have to let me have a fully customized pc, a pc home, and a pc wardrobe. Oh and collection system like Skyrim. Oh and you also fight crime.

The irony being, but if you play by their rules you don’t, but if you actually have a mind already, you should be able to understand how to use these things to expand your own...

It still blows my mind to this day that Britain could be so unfathomably stupid, the brain drain this has had on Britain due to visa issues is seismic too. A genuine embarrassment & believe me, As a regular traveler to Spain Britain is nothing short of a laughing stock the world over because of it.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Your right, it should be aiding it; and the irony being an entirely too many people with big educations feel some kind of way about using it so instead, you get ignorance combined with it it’s fucking seriously ironic!

The most magical morning a witchy cat lady could ask for!

Kitty snuggles are where it all happens!

this is just as much fucking propaganda as everything. Our current president does he did not try to warn you, nor did he try to do fuck all about it. He gave a pretty speech about the oligarchy that I already existed with him.

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky

is nobody getting that this isn’t a enemies and friends situation this is a ally of my ally and territory I want to exploit situation....

The battle against #ultra-rich #oligarchs is challenging enough. Feel free to just copy and reuse this reminder ⬇️ each time you spot one of these accounts. We certainly intend to do so.

I don't like this. Feels even more icky than all of us paying it bc it will affect marginalized people who didn't vote for this stuck in red states. This plan assumes a red state = unanimous red vote or the ability to move if they don't like it...

You’re absolutely right, and this is the problem with power in general!
