I had a mini outing and hit our local craft thrift store. I found a bunch of tiny steel crochet hooks, and some really cool fabrics, plus several Bitch back issues. Then we hit Marshall’s where I found an 84 set of Kingart acrylic markers and a bag of chocolate covered gummy bears. Finally,Walmart

I have a dilemma, do I finish my Catherine Mack mystery(No One was Supposed to Die at This Wedding), Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3, or do I start @chucktingle.bsky.social Fabulous Bodies, which arrived today?
Me, 1:30pm “I’ll grab an empty box and put daddy’s dvds in them so I can shelve my unread books there. Me, 1.5 hours later: where did all these books come from? (Me, it’s me. I’m the problem haha)
I dreamed I was working on a piece to enter in Quilt National and I haven’t done that since 2008? ( I had a piece accepted for the 2005 show). I just wish I could remember what I was making because I was really excited about it
The delight I feel every time I remember I have watermelon in the fridge cannot be underestimated.
I took some boxes to the car so we can recycle when we get the mail and it was like opening the oven to check on my cornbread when I opened the front door. It’s only 9:10am.
Starting to read Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver immediately after watching Repo! The Genetic Opera made for some really crazy dreams
Yesterday I got our summer watermelon, a large baby size, not an oblong. Let’s see if I can get it diced up today, lol. (The cats really loved the big ball we brought home, so I’m extra motivated)
Is there an option for alt text on our profile and banner?
My youngest got married last weekend and most of this week was stressing about my Niblet who had to stay at the vet for a few days but I’m hoping I can actually play in the studio soon.
Is it possible to just make the filling for a pecan pie without putting the pecans on?
Last year I was up early on my birthday wondering if the stock market was going to pull a Black Friday (tariffs ).This year, will there be a live reenactment of Dr Strangelove. Next year can we just not.
After a whole hour of sleep I woke up cold and hungry. Yogurt and a brownie at 1am. Gonna try to get some sleep now. Wish me luck.
Some people are trying to get repealing property tax on the ballot in Ohio. Some people haven’t thought things through. Or they just don’t care.
INBOX: The Georgia Senate passed a measure today that would create new 1% special sales tax districts overlayed on county lines to reduce homeowner property taxes. They also banned revenue increases from property taxes of more than 3% or the federal Consumer Price Index, whichever is greater.
I picked up some Zig Clean Color brush pens and some Zig Mangaka fineliners from JetPens and made this drawing. I really like how the brush pens blend and cover the line work without smearing and it is very satisfying to make the cross hatch and dot details with the fineliners.
the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
If Jesus died on a Friday and rose on that Sunday, Chuck Norris has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever for the Raptor on the 22nd
My preorder of Wolf Worm by @tkingfisher.com came in and I’m already on chapter four. I’m loving the descriptions of the way the narrator would paint what she’s seeing.
I can’t be the only person who checks a friend’s feed to make sure they’re still alive before wishing them a happy birthday am I?
Generations of Marines would be interested to hear that boots on the ground on an island is not boots on the ground in combat circumstances.
Rep. Pete Sessions: "I believe that what these 2,500 Marines would be is to secure the island. The island is not, in my opinion, boots on the ground in combat circumstances. It's not like inside Iran in the cities."
I saw the new @tkingfisher.com , Wolf Worm, as well as the new Junji Ito, Statues, at Barnes and Noble today. Waiting for my preorder at my local indie just got dangerous ;)
I saw there’s apparently been Bigfoot sightings in Ohio as well. 2016 had clowns, I guess 2026 is the year of Bigfoot. Maybe they can share shoes.
With all the talk about mines, I’m feeling a rewatch of The Incredible Mr Limpet may be in order
I’ve preordered the newest InCryptid novel from @seananmcguire.bsky.social , Wolf Worm from @tkingfisher.com , and the new Junji Ito graphic horror collection and I’m excited for them all to come in.
I didn’t know they still were making Florsheim shoes, tbh.
I just realized a lot of my FOMO started when we were in that cult that didn’t allow entertainment from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday so I had no idea what my classmates were talking about when they talked about Saturday morning cartoons or the Brady Bunch. We left when I was 8. Happy day!
