Between the massacre in Australia and Rob Reiner and his wife, this has been a long weekend. 😞

I mak u no go work, mama, i sit on ur ugly cote.

Lazy Sunday.

This person took this when they called the race

I love my hometown. ❤️

Yup.

First day on the job.

Hello, Cleveland! The girls and I made it to our new apartment in Cleveland Heights. We are settling in and relaxing today before I start my new job tomorrow!

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

How moving prep is going.

Found this going through paperwork today.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hey Columbus friends! I'm having a yard sale this weekend, Friday and Saturday, 8-2. DM for deets.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

"What you fail to see Mr. Pope" is truly the most incredible assemblage of words I have seen coming out of X, the Everything App, in quite some time.

In a world of Kristi Noems, be a Jane Goodall

I am excited to announce that I have accepted the position of Student Success Librarian at the Cleveland Institute of Art! Yay! Gainful employment! Cleveland! I like Cleveland. Which is probably heresy for a Cincinnatian, but 🤷‍♀️

Yup. So many Christians worship Jesus, but they don't follow Jesus.

Y'all keep making growing up Catholic look relatively benign. #rapture #massspiritualpsychosis

The last Cat Fambly linocut series for a bit. This one's my boy Meeple who passed away at 16 this spring. Miss you, sweetie. #linocut #catfambly

Yup.

Columbus friends! I'm teaching another bookbinding class at Craft Raccoon! Wednesday, October 8, from 6-9. #bookbinding #artistsbooks

My girl Gretel doing a super sploot this evening. 😻 #catsploots #cats

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Yup. It's why I stopped being a Christian.

John Fugelsang nails it:

This exchange says it all.

This could be a fun game: TELL ME YOU’RE A LIBRARIAN WITHOUT SAYING YOU’RE A LIBRARIAN

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Yup.

I decided that today is my weekend so I played hooky. Saw ironweed, goldenrod, and wild sunflowers, lots of monarch butterflies, and the park's bison herd. #ohio #nature

Today in under-employment: Got my bookbinding class stuff lined up - social media, demo book, blurb. Picked up a book from the library. Picked up the last prints from my CAC printmaking class. Went to Aldi.

Another addition to the Cat Fambly linocut series. Any name suggestions? #linocut #printmaking

Making books and taking names. Buttonhole stitch books for a workshop in teaching in October. #bookbinding #bookarts

Made a dress for an alien doll. A good day's work.

I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.

Spending my unemployment days wisely.

Hi friends! If you are in Columbus, I'll be teaching a book making workshop at Craft Raccoon on Wednesday, August 27 from 6-8. The class is $45, including materials. Come join us for some relaxing fun after work or school! #bookbinding #bookarts #artmakescbus

I swear, I look through all the leaves on the cucumbers and don't see any to harvest, then the next day there's one ready to pick. It's like being a middle aged woman finding a chin hair that wasn't there yesterday. #gardeningwoes

Sounds like a plan.

I asked ChatGPT what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what it said to me: Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

I need one with a Sherman tank. I never met my paternal grandpa, but I thank him for his service as a radio operator in Sherman tank in Patton's army, and later assisting with the Berlin Airlift.

New curse for your enemies: may all of your nightshade vegetables be afflicted with fusarium wilt. At least I should get a decent eggplant harvest before it gets taken over. 🍆 🍆 🍆 🍆 🍆 That is all. #gardening

I've decided that pesto is a serving of vegetables and sangria is a serving of fruit.

It doesn't work for many of us over 40 either.
