Some more of my old bottles just because I like them. Goodnight everyone.

The work in progress 11/17/25. #art #painting #bones

Some of my antique bottle collection, pics I took for tomorrow's Tuesday Coffee Hour post on #DailyKos about sun-colored amethyst glass. #antiques #collecting

New presidential portrait. No longer groping and dry-humping it, just walking by as it lays on the ground. A perfect metaphor for everything.

Break in the weather for now. #Arizona #sunset

It's so cute when they write their own fan fiction. 🤣

Smaug II, acrylics on canvas panel, 2020. If I ever get my hands on another alligator or maybe javalina skull I'm doing it like this. #art #painting

Zohran Mamdani lets his inner hellraiser out to play and I am here for it 🥰 #NYC #ZohranMamdani x.com/peterjhasson...

Time to break out the space heaters again (central heating doesn't work). Fall is definitely here and winter is not far behind 🥶

Getting windy here now, I can feel the air pressure dropping & my leg's starting to hurt. But we need the rain. Left, looking southwest towards Cottonwood, and right, northwest towards Kingman just now. #Arizona #YavapaiCounty

Welcome to my studio (dining room) which gets used for nearly everything except actual eating. Above, Earth Below Sky, acrylics on natural bone, 2024. Below, the work in progress. #art #painting #bones

Look what's coming our way #Arizona Accuweather radar map screenshot 9:23 AM.

@gottalaff.bsky.social Here's a #NonSequitur cartoon I did just for this era...oh, wait... this was published 22 years ago. Nothing changes when republicans are running the government.

Damn Teresa 🤣

"This isn't the America I know!" Black people:

This isn't about 186,000 dead people getting food assistance. (Which isn't a check BTW) My family was on SNAP years ago. The application process was a huge PITA then. I'm sure it's not easier now. This is to convince people to give up and stop trying to access SNAP 🤬 thehill.com/homenews/adm...

He campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. Now it's happening & he's freaking out. It'd be really poetic justice if emails were what brings that asshole down. #Trump #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #PedoPrez

My son, who is biracial (like his sister) frequently goes out of town for work & his gf. I don't tidy his room anymore so I don't know where he keeps things. This morning I asked him where he keeps his birth certificate. He didn't even need to ask me why I want to know that. I fucking hate this.

#Arizona and specifically #YavapaiCounty we have some fun & interesting #weather to look forward to apparently. 🌧️❄️ Time to bring out my space heaters again. Goodnight everyone. Sleep well.

Check out this gorgeous atmospheric photography. I love this.

Probably the best thing I've said all day.

JFC Megyn 🤬🤬🤬 WTF is wrong with you?

It might still take me into January to finish, but right now it's not looking like it. #art #painting #bones

Right before I woke up I dreamed that Vance pardoned Trump ala Gerald Ford and Nixon 😬

Dear Men, If you treat your wife like a human being, with thoughts and emotions and dreams, instead of a collection of holes and roles, you won't have to coerce her into loving you or being an enthusiastic sex partner. She'll be all over you naturally. Just ask my husband. Sincerely, Angie

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.

Adelita Grijalva hit the nail on the head: True troop support means funding veterans' health ＆ housing, not slashing it! Let's keep backing our vets, their families, and the federal workers who serve them. #VeteransDay

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

What it looks like now. Probably won't do anything with it today though 🤧🤒😣 #art #painting #bones

I have a cold & feel like a semi-sentient bucket of mucus and misery 🤧🤒😣

Adelita Grijalva set to finally be sworn in. #Arizona #Democrats www.cbsnews.com/news/adelita...

Brilliant political strategists have always known that starving people for clout is the way to capture the hearts of the masses.

Chicken noodle soup. I made this with the stock I made from the lemon pepper roast chicken I did recently so it has a nice flavor 😋 I added leeks, spinach, and celery, and those thick Amish style noodles. I use store-bought chicken broth a lot but prefer the stuff I make myself. #cooking #soup

This week's Tuesday Coffee Hour post is about the Chariot of the tarot major arcana. #DailyKos #tarot #majorarcana www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

"There is no meaningful difference between the rates of loneliness between men and women. There reason we're always talking about men's is that they're making it everyone else's problem." (Cartoon by Sophie Labelle)

Time to refresh my door wards. Here is an old bronze Paolo Soleri wind bell that came with the house, combined with a hagstone I found here, red silk ribbon, hemp cord and five feathers from my little black Cochin rooster. This is next to my front door. #witchsky #wards #apotropaic

I still find it unacceptable and unforgiveable that at 65, I still am not considered equal under the laws of the land as a woman. And in fact have less rights now than I did growing up. And it's not even a primary issue except as "abortion rights." No, it's called bodily autonomy. Y'all dont get it.

Painting is the only thing I've found that I can't do if I'm very angry, sad, or frightened. It just doesn't work. I have to set those feelings aside for another time. Then I can do it. Sometimes it's the biggest reason why I pick up a brush. So, yeah. I got a lot done today. #art #painting #bones
