No joke, I was sick for almost two months after that day and I was wearing a mask while I was in there. I finally had to get antibiotics. I was very uncertain of its restoration viability, so I'm really impressed with the progress just from the outside!

Jo Cook appreciation thread here:

When I suddenly found myself looking for a house, we went on a tour with our realtor, Jo Cook. My MIL mentioned a house she saw on Zillow for $30k so Jo Cook took us to see it.

I'm so glad this is getting restored because it needed a LOT of work.

Long story short: we were house hunting and my mother in law saw that this house was for sale for $30k. Our gem of a realtor was like, "Well, let's go see it!" And then we did and I got bronchitis immediately after hahaha

@genericgamer.blackskycomra.de SOMEONE BOUGHT THAT HOUSE YOUR MOM LIKED AND IT'S NICE NOW 😭❤️

Two graffiti paintings on a cinder block wall of turtles, each with an S on the head and ARS on the shell.

Who else remembers the SARS turtles that were all over Detroit in the early 2000s?

A man wearing a khaki shirt, brown pants, white socks, and dark shoes is laying down on his stomach on a grass lawn. He's holding a camera and looking at a Siamese cat on a leash in front of him.

My grandpa would've turned 96 last week and it made me think about one of my favorite photos of him: laying down in his front yard with a camera to take a picture of a cat on a leash.

If you wonder why I am the way I am, here's example number one.

An open metal gate with an intricate design at the top of two birds on either side of a large chalice filled with fruit. It opens to a small courtyard with a red door of a brick house. There is a black screen door in front of the red door. Leaves of ivy grow across the top of the entrance.

my life rn

A photograph of a lit candle in a glass jar with a pumpkin design on it. Behind the candle is a calico cat soap dispenser that's illuminated only by the candle.

I like my bathroom.

Keeping my fingers crossed ❤️

I like watching this channel about melting wax and making stamps when I'm feeling chill and creative. There's no talking, but there are English closed caption subtitles explaining the process.

I want to go to Goblin Valley

A timer is pretty important, yes.

It's how I manage to exist online these days.

"nonprofit newsroom" yeah okay

I keep meaning to post more stuff I am selling but I am easily distracted.

A hookah shop window that has a poster of smoking apparatuses in the middle. To the left are two open signs: one that isn't lit and one that has LED lights to make it display the American flag, which is partially blocked so it looks like it just says "OPE." To the right is yet another open sign, which is on, and a sign that says "HOOKAH."

OPE, HOOKAH

no cap i try unless i actively don't respect them

I've always adored this photo of @sprayadhesive.bsky.social and using it to foray into digital collage felt like the right choice.

Barn owl named Cupcake cosplaying as a character named Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. The image is split into two halves using a purple zigzag diagonal line. Both have a pink background, top has various faded blue dots and bottom has various purple dots. Cupcake is looking forward in the top image and is touching her red eye piece. In the bottom image she crushes the eye piece in her wingtip. White text first says, "Their autism level..." then "It's over 9000!" There is a rainbow infinity sign logo with a black and brown eye in each of the two centers. Under the eyes in pastel brown text reads "Actually" and "Owltistic"

Don't talk to me about my liver. I know the risks. lol

A collage of a black and white photograph of a person sitting on a bench surrounded by purple and pink flowers. The flowers are in color but heavily desaturated to help blend in with the rest of the image.

It took over 20 years to make this.

Boston, Massachusetts: A plaque on a marble wall that says "Massachusetts State House" with the domed top of a building depicted at the top. An arrow pointing up is next to "General Hooker Entrance" and an arrow pointing right is next to "Ashburton Park Entrance" with a wheelchair accessibility icon.

Thinking about the time I met up with @librarianstevie.bsky.social in Boston and how hard we laughed when we approached the General Hooker Entrance.
