It’s very much about a sense of power and control in the world that quietly paying taxes wouldn’t bring

Being able to ghoulishly affect policy so they won’t be punished for myriad harmful behaviours is key

Awww that is all so sweet

I had a budgie who fell in love with his own reflection instead of a lovely female budgie I rescued, but I think that was more just narcissism

The last thing my sides need is to hustle

A print of digital bird illustrations. They’re fairly realistic, though a little loosely stylized. Big text running down the middle in rainbow letters says “LGBTQ” and it turns out to be an acrostic standing for “gosh I love gay birds those total Q.T. Pies”. For a full list of the birds illustrated, follow the link.

Fell down a rabbit hole learning about gay birds. And let me tell you, the birds, they are so gay. Gayer than I ever imagined. Far beyond a few lesbian seagulls and gay penguin dads. So I made a bird-filled pride print!

absolutely accurate. Nuts can also contribute to this self deception

it worked, this kid was how I knew I could never handle the pressures of motherhood

Penguins are definitely some of the best known queer critters thanks to some who have raised chicks together at zoos, so sweet

Both sides are incredible!

And here I was excited to improve my tracy skills

Oh my gosh!!!

Reading stories where people realized their chickens were lesbians, and/or developing rooster-like traits, was one of my favourite things! So fun

Boots AND cats? In this economy?

Forever drawing/painting the clothes I wish I had!

An illustration of a woman with short hair and bangs, wearing purple glasses and a green turtleneck with an egg pattern on it. The text on the illustration reads: I hope my inner child heals… before my outer adult is dead

Working on it

Thank you! It’s taken a long time to get to a place where I can just chill with it like this. And I’m sorry you have to deal with multi-day migraines!

Every day with a migraine is the same but different. Cataloging the days visually one by one

Truly one of the best and most helpful books ever

When I first listened to the audiobook I actually couldn’t stop laughing, because it was just so accurate. I know it’s not meant to be funny, but the clarity was just somehow hilarious

For the third time

How did you know my alarm was going off and I was ignoring it

As I approach the four year mark of my migraine, I’ve started sitting down with it every day and drawing it

If it won’t go away, at least I can get to know it better, its colours, shapes, and moods

It’s less about “capturing the pain,” more about being present and curious with sensations

Awwww thank you so much!

what Trump needs is to be Billy Madison’d

He needs to go back to school, get sat down on a carpet, fed some nutritious glue, and taught how trade economics works like he’s five years old

Amazing! Im going to have to read that asap

Game of Pricks

Oh thank goodness, both that we finally have a candidate, and that instead of a lawn sign I can just dangle my old runners

An old board game where a white goose is covered in various circles that are either pink, yellow, or have a little picture in them. The point of the game is unclear, though the goose appears to have laid some golden eggs

A game called the “Swan of Elegance” where the board features a swan with a red ribbon wrapped around it, and I presume you move along the spaces that are laid out along the ribbon completing some sort of objective as you go.

A German game, where circles follow along a path in the shape of a swan. The circles each have charming illustrations on them of people and other, smaller swans. There are instructions in tiny German print

The Majestic Game of the Asiatic Ostrich! An energetic ostrich mid-step takes up most of the board, and around it are 20 numbered figures of fancy men dressed as soldiers, clergymen, noblemen, and a king at the end. If they’re supposed to be specific people it’s way above my historical paygrade

Today’s odd fixation: antique board games shaped like birds

David Lynch in a chair on the side of the road with a Holstein cow (the black and white one) and a huge poster of Laura Dern that says “for your consideration, Laura Dern” in big white letters; his quite original way to promote her for a best actress Oscar to the academy

We should all take a cue from David Lynch and sit by the road with lovely cow to tell the world how great one of our friends is
