I, too, am Normal About Pens. Specifically .38mm ones.

A book display in a library with various crafting books about knitting and dyeing and painting. The book being highlighted is Shannon Downey’s activism book Move the Needle.

Seen in my local library! @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social

Every time I see a post telling us we “should be” alarmed by something going on with the current dive into authoritarianism, I want to scream. I’m already fucking alarmed. By everything. So is everyone I know. Every day! Telling people how they “should” be feeling and acting isn’t productive. Sigh.

I still have my account and sometimes go visit it and my icons that I loved making. I loved that platform.

Kyanite is so beautiful. I have some kyanite beads that I’m hoarding because I don’t want to use them willynilly.

I cannot watch or listen to those chucklefucks give their opinions on what causes autism because like everything else they open their pieholes about, I'm 100% sure they are wrong. My 84-year-old autistic father agrees.

I have lived in 3 of the participating states though…

Sadly my state is run by Republican jackasses and are not part of this collaboration. Pisses me off. 😡

Hugs, my friend.

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

(This wasn’t an impossible task. This whole album is full of awesome earworms!)

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

This bums me out. He was really good at what he did.

A smiling black lab sitting on a trail in the woods. He’s got on a blue harness and is trailing a black leash.

He’s smiling like this because his little sister is at a play group for the day and he got to go on a walk without her.

I know he’s little, but could you have a matching necklace/small pendant that he can wear under his shirt that he could wear and feel linked to you? I know it’s far from a perfect solution, but maybe something along those lines?

Yup. You? (Happy belated Birthday, by the way!🎉)

As a native RI’er, I have pictures of my boy with the potato heads at my mom’s preferred grocery store.

I'm sorry. That is pretty crappy. I hope you know, you are always welcome to come visit mine anytime you need a fix. It's not the same, I know, but you are welcome to get some furry snuggles in when you need them.

Wouldn’t that just be gazpacho through a straw?

She is currently outside treating herself by eating crab apples from our tree. She’s happy as a clam. She is, mostly, a good girl though!

A black dog with white fur on her chin and just under her nose rests her head on her front paws as she leans over a royal blue pillow with a red blanket below that. She’s looking right into the camera.

She’s so cute. #harrowhark #dogsky #blacklabmix

Rest and feel better!

With every horrifyingly ridiculous political item that comes across my dash, I'm reminded of a line from Hamilton: "Yo, who the f is this?" Mostly in the incredulous way, not the literal meaning way. I know who they are. I just don't know who the f they think they are.

I don’t know. It hurts my heart though.

Every day is more horrifying than the last.

Sweet! Let me know what you think of it!

I enjoyed it. And he and I are about the same age, so reading a contemporary felt different from the usual suspects too.

Have you read “Creative Quest” by Questlove yet? Still a dude, of course, but at least not a white one.

I, too, have never finished or even gotten very far with The Artist’s Way for the same reasons you mentioned. I found it overwhelming. I read Twyla Tharpe’s book years ago and remember really liking it. I may give it a reread too.

I certainly hope they know "shenanigans" because that is my most favorite of silly words.

Can you have them enter Thunderdome to see who gets to finish the school year? 😉
