Ink and watercolor illustration of a black cat on a desk surrounded by witchy objects like candles, pumpkins, spellbooks, crystals, mirrors, a broomstick. Their paw is suspiciously close to an ink bottle...

Painting of a black cat on a stone castle windowsill. He has glowing purple eyes (it's Faithful/Pounce from Tamora Pierce's books...) and you see a city behind him and twinkling stars in the sky.

Watercolor and acryla gouache portrait of a tabby cat laying on the ground looking up at the viewer, rather noir in style.

Ink and watercolor illustration of two silly witchy kittens (one tabby, one orange) mixing an exploding potion in a cauldron on a tabletop.

So fun! Thank you! I paint a lot of animals, and very often they are cats. Here's a few! You can find me at www.albaillustration.com and albaillustration.etsy.com.

Performing. My stories, or comedy, or TEDx Talks, or even in a play. From "Spy in the House of Men: a One-Woman Show (with Balls)" in 2017, to "Mounting Washington: The Story of a Mountain and a Miracle" this year. I never refuse stage time. Or fruit pie.

Lemme go harass my momma to add me to her Costco membership

this is perfect cop-brain

"sir, i'd like to ask: have yo—"
"you can thank me later"
"what?"
"i just made you safer"
"wha—"
"you're even safer now"
"wh—"
"you see the sun rise this morning?"
"yes"
"you're welcome"
"w—"
"i arrested nighttime"

Wow! Those are gorgeous fungi!

I have met ghosts and do not exhibit this fear.
Is there a word for one who welcomes ghosts but is not a spiritualist or medium?

Lake Ontario begs to differ.

The struggle was real.

They are very grapey.

That’s one gorgeous mushroom!

What a beauty!

Morning in #Roc #BrightonNY

Cheez Whiz begs to differ.

How the wife is actually pouring the milk (from a glass pitcher) into the bowl for his is sheesh.

The worst were dusty ribbon candies.
They always came out a Christmas time, were dusted off and re-used the following year and onward until the old person died (probably from ingesting said candy).

if i ever post something that can be interpreted in more than one way, then i definitely wrote it with the intention of grievously wounding you, a stranger i have never spoken to before and whose existence i was previously not aware of

It's hard to overstate just how messed up the lower federal courts are these days. Large numbers of Trump and Bush appointees were chosen precisely because of their extremist views, and their minimal experience in the actual practice of law compounds the harm they will cause.

So excited to see Danielle Ponder this Friday!!

My body is not a temple.
It’s a cash bar at a wedding held at a party house that serves old seafood disguised as chowder, and things are about to get ugly.

I usually do a fish fry with Bob - but we can do a drink and appetizers right after I get off work if you’ve got the time!

Met the nicest woman at the Wegman’s seafood counter tonight.
We were both buying wild-caught clams.
I explained how to “feed” clams cornmeal to get rid of the sand.
She was super excited to try it out!
Bon appetite!

So glad you will be doing an encore!

I owe you dinner - since I couldn’t make it to your fantastic show :(
Let me know your schedule for next week - let’s grab something to eat and gab!

Thank you PS Brookes!
(aka Gumby dammit).

Yeah Saj!!! My world just got so much nicer!
