"dis does nuffing" he wheezes, literally doing nothing. They said it's a bad visual to wave a Mexican flag in support of immigrants, they said it was bad to bring an American flag, they said it's bad to come ready to fight, they say it's bad to not come ready to fight. The costumes are brilliant.

First they gave us Project 2025. Now they're giving us Project 2027. 📓✍️

I have reached the part of photographing things I've made where I am sick to death at looking at things I have made.

I was dreaming a little kid was showing me his collection of tiny things, one of my favorite things! My brain finally figured out that the sounds of him showing me his treasures were actually the sounds of my cat rifling through my now-open jewelry box for things to pilfer. Not a favorite thing!

Tuesdays be like:

We wondered what THAT building specifically & I think we know exactly why, now.

I want the bunnies to share their hutch with the bobcat & the bobcat has been very amenable to the idea but the bunnies keep screaming & running away & being rude They won't sit down for a civil conversation with the bobcat at all Why are the bunnies being so mean to me & my bobcat pal? 😢

We ask for help in the vocabulary we have. We answer in the vocabulary we have. Sending Dolly & her family so much love. Please, we are full up on bad news. I know she misses her husband terribly & I hate that for her. I still think missing my grampa is what took my gramma.

Hi lovelies! If anybody is interested in following & supporting my feed I've started for my artist in residency application, I'd really appreciate the love & encouragement <3 bsky.app/profile/when...

Spent the $$$ on the flea meds for the cats to finish off this terrible flea season for good & 2 of the $$ tubes weren't crimped right & the liquid shot back onto ME instead of the cat😭 Of course it was with the two least agreeable cats. Called in the lot # so the vet would know something's up

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

I'd been wanting to build a flower press & saw one at the thrift store missing some fittings. Trip to the hardware store & a whopping $2.50 later & I have an expandable vintage flower press for $7.50! My husband picked new larger washers to spread the pressure to protect the corners #ErynThrifts

@solomonmissouri.bsky.social Have a 100 people tagged you in this yet? lol bsky.app/profile/comp...

I was getting up & then my eldest called for an hour, so it's now 3pm & I'm trying to get moving.

Look at this bliss!

I shocked the pottery studio this week by saying I've never seen any Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play. I grew up watching 60s & 70s horror with my big bro, then jumped straight to the 90s horror of my teens. If it's been made SINCE? I've probably seen it. Made in the 80s? Nope

Happy Sunday. Have a snack. (Not me, a different snack.) 🤭

But... what if not productive... What if bedrot... My insomnia is back BIG TIME. Actually a lot of my B12 insufficiency symptoms are back big time after months of improvement. I'm wondering if I've eaten through my too-high folate levels. Requesting retesting soon.

I know I'll feel better if I get even ONE productive thing done today... And yet, here I sit on the couch. OKAY! PRODUCTIVE THING AFTER COFFEE.

all units: the Tukwalia Build-a-Bear has gone woke. I repeat: the Build-a-Bear is woke.

Going on a shopping spree*! *dropping $220 on medicated food & prescription flea meds at the vet

An NPC for the next book. Sketching out concepts at a coffee shop, later I'll use this pic to work from as I make a digital illustration for the book. Despite my electric bill going up some in general, redrawing this on my tablet won't burn up a small lake. AI could never. #noAI #supportartists

Our elder cat is soooo mad at me today, because while we were out of town for 3 days, we apparently had a flea hatch so he got a bath at 1am. He won't look directly at me & would only put 2 feet in the bathroom where we feed him his $$$ special food.

Bobby Cain, who led a group of 12 Black students in desegregating the high school in Clinton, Tennessee in 1956, has passed away at age 85. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

Every excluded child in America in the last 69 years is figuratively in that line behind him heading into school that day in 1956. He must have been terrified. His mama probably didn't take a full breath all day.

Wow. If he was ever that gleeful about something I said, I'd be so full of shame my family would be speaking in quiet voices & taking turns keeping an eye on me

More duckling zoomies! #Ducklings #FarmLife

Shaping the discourse while smugly & gleefully stoking highly emotional discourse with pretty shitty posts

This is adorable and it takes no time to do

Falling asleep & realized I hadn't seen Mama Kitty since maybe 4pm. Checked all her places, even the secret ones, checked upstairs & my eldest's bedroom where I was taking pics earlier, even checked the porch cam JIC. Checked each again; heard a tiny mew from the boxes under the guest bed. Cats!

Hey let me see what you have. A grenade! NO! 3-year-old finds live WWII grenade in front yard of family's home in Washington state - CBS News share.google/4OwjR9Dyup6o...

Me, when I have something important to do: Haven't checked the obits back home recently, better see who died.

Fine! I've tentatively started! No editing.

Can somebody tell me they'll be disappointed in me & ... that I'm a bad example to my kids? if I don't get like 2 sets of photos done today? It might feel mean, but you can be a little mean. Don't get any meaner than that tho because I am actually a big baby.

I am SUPPOSED to be taking photos for my artist in residency application, but it is weirdly a little daunting & I am goldfish brained to the max today, so I've done 98 different tasks & only one was related to the task I assigned myself today. Two if I'm generous. But I mean, one was rocks so

We are home from a little birthday weekend jaunt to the Oregon coast. Where it was blustery & Very Autumn TM. I ate many good meals & did some excellent antiquing & thrifting. Here, have a snail.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

And for those whining about messaging, how about jumping in to help spread the messaging?😇 bsky.app/profile/arie...

It also cooks so so so much faster & more consistently. I do a tray of roasted potatoes & veggies & a tray of mini meatloaves in the same oven for the same amount of time. & they freeze great!

Thank you for the birthday wishes 🥰 I had a great day. My kid signed me up for the raku seminar! My husband bought me a bunch of rough rocks to tumble, amethyst, mixed agates, lots of pretty stuff. We watched Sinners & ate Indian food. Sinners is so freaking good, holy shit. EVERYTHING people said

I always thought Inktober was to get you back on real media with one tiny and non-threatening doodle a day. Now it's all people mega-flexing with involved AND ENTIRELY DIGITAL full illustrations. Who did this? We did. Just say no. Do a 5-min ballpoint doodle. Congrats, you've inktobered.

Had some good finds thrifting today, but the big score for me personally was this glass ornament of Olive the Other Reindeer, our personal favorite family Christmas movie/book/character. I didn't even know they made these, but TIL Nordstrom's had some really nice Olive items in 1999! #ErynThrifts

It's my freaking birthday! Popped a sweet monkey bread in the oven at midnight & started last week's Bake Off. Got to eat monkey bread while they made monkey bread. Pretty good start!

Processed the last batch of summer sweet corn. There's so much potato corn chowder in my future!

I exploded a Corelle plate today while making dinner. It's always so dramatic! I had to call my husband in to rescue my bare feet from the sea of needle pointed shards

I really respect Jeff King & his expertise. I miss him being on the trail & hope this starts a conversation after all that went sideways with this year's Iditarod It's vital for the race to look at the chilling effect the forced scratches could have on new people investing time & money in the sport

Young girl in the thrift store, wearing a Harry Potter robe, setting off all the musical items, picking up a lot of glass things, being a menace to her mom: I'm Harry Potter! Her mom: You're Voldemort & you're about to go sit in the car Kid: Just try & MAKE Harry Potter sit in the car!

Practical Magic TWO?! Finally some good news!

Can't decide if I continue being super productive this week like an "object in motion stays in motion" while I am driven for it or if I force myself to take a rest day tomorrow. The risk is a monumental crash on my birthday weekend...

Super productive afternoon in the pottery studio, 7 flower pots ready to be kiln fired, one very delightful little set of shelves to display tiny things on a desk (dunno how I forgot to take a damn pic again) to be fired, a wall altar waxed & prepped for glaze & I made this kitty.
