Alkrea

She’s here!! You have no idea how long I’ve waited for a Sailor Cosmos figure!! The Q-Poskets were cute, but this is what I’ve longed for! I just wish her face were a little less flat. 😅

There once was a time I was in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in full cosplay for @animemilwaukee.org getting bigger! And later that year, I moved to Pittsburgh. 😅 #throwbacktuesday #anime #cosplay #princesspeach #amke

After 19 years, I finally updated my serger. My 910 is still a tank, but I wanted a cover stitch, dammit!

Now I need to learn how to thread it. I always found the 910 easy to thread. The s21 looks a little more complicated. My Valkyrie army has grown again! #sewing #serger @husqvarna.bsky.social

The US flag was flown upside down at the State Department yesterday which signals an SOS. Word is 2 security guards got in lot of trouble for doing it.

A red T-shirt laid flat on a chair, featuring a playful graphic design. The text reads, 'From the desk of Toto' above a small illustration of a black Scottie dog mid-leap. Below, the message continues in a handwritten-style font: 'Dear Dorothy: Hate Oz, took the shoes, find your own way home!' with a paw print signature labeled 'Toto.' The background includes a cozy, eclectic room with bookshelves, decorative items, and warm lighting.

I'm not so sure I've changed all that much aesthetically... But I did hunt for the shirt! And while I couldn't find it in black, I did find a red variant! 😂 I'm gonna keep searching for the black, but for now, I have a bit of my young, edgy self back. hahaha! #ElderMillennial #ElderEmo

A triptych of three photos from the early 2000s featuring a young woman with long dark hair, glasses, and an alt-kid aesthetic. She wears oversized flared jeans with contrast stitching, layered bracelets, and graphic T-shirts with sarcastic text. One shirt reads, 'If I throw a stick, will you go away?' while another features a faux 'letter from Toto' that says, 'Dear Dorothy: Hate Oz, took the shoes, find your own way home!' Her accessories include a studded choker and multiple blue bracelets. The images capture a nostalgic, early 2000s alternative fashion vibe.

One of my current #WIP is a "prequel" of sorts, going over the teenage years of one of my protagonists. He was a teenager at the same time I was, and he absolutely was in the same type of scene I was (pictured). While nostalgia bombing myself, I decided I really missed that "Dear Dorothy" shirt.

The reaction to Elon’s salute compared to Will Smith’s slap? Quite telling.

(And some of us are sick and tired of telling y’all. It’s egregious hypocrisy.)

Thank you! I plan to add a few different backs once I have more pictures of recent stuff. I didn’t want to use photos that were older than the last couple years, and despite usually working at a Photo Booth, I rarely get photos. 🤦‍♀️ But I’m gonna work on that!

Picture of my card and the two images I currently have for the backs. Front is a picture of me normally with my Lady Alkrea “logo” that I drew, and the backs have a picture of me in Shinguji Sakura against a stage show backdrop, and the other is my Dandelion Sailor Cosmos dress in a rose garden.

I finally got myself some cosplay business cards! Yes, I revived my cringy “geek girl extraordinaire” from 10-15 years ago. 😂 Glad I used a QR code to Linktree, since who knows what’s going on with social media right now. Figures, I finally jumped through hoops to kill my domain last year.

The Roman salute was adopted by the Italian fascist party in the 20s.

The German Nazi party adopted the salute a few years later.

Roman salute is a Nazi salute.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙
Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Does anyone have anymore questions how the Third Reich could actually happen?
Or were the last days clarifying enough?

I’ve seen a lot lately about the screenwriters outdoing themselves again. But honestly, if you were crafting a fictional treatment of the demise of American democracy, you would have tried to make the characters a lot more plausible.

call me crazy but when I was a kid being violently opposed to Nazism was fundamental to being pro-American

I will never stop being mad about this election and being angry at the people who voted for this.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.
