no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies

The main difference between the two leaders for Jan Schakowsky’s seat, everyone:

Jesus. My heart goes out to everyone affected by fucking ICE and it hurts so much be spread this thin. Our leaders are not leading. They are not protecting us. They are killing us in the streets. We, our communities, need to do what they aren’t.

this is what video games are all about, honestly

V appropriate for old people using the new slang and making it officially uncool. Time for new new slang, young’uns! 🎁

I love how our New Year’s “ball drop” moment was tied to the falling of a pillar in a Physical: Asia challenge

I never imagined I would get a dick portrait for Xmas, and I couldn’t love it more. It’s a girthy hog dressed as E. Honda. Thanks to my hubby for being a wonderful goblin & thanks to @dicksbyrichard.bsky.social for this amazing piece. #art #nsfw obvs

Spiked eggnog was a perfect choice for tonight. Merry Xmas Eve! And thanks to @actuallyjz.bsky.social for the wonderful handcrafted nog!

On this Xmas eve, please take a moment to remember the true meaning of the season: Muppet Ghost of Christmas Present

If you are having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit, may I recommend watching the greatest Christmas special ever created: youtu.be/NRvtOGLzpvE

This is my country torturing innocents. This is my shame. Fuck CBS. Fuck Trump. I hope every American sees this and rises up. #60Minutes #CEDOT cdn.sbox.game/asset/814e5f...

Every relationship has one Sommarsanta and one Krampus. Which one are you?

It’s gonna be a hard candy Xmas.

Noël approche 🥰

Can’t wait to try these guava-almond shortbread bars Jason and I made. Hooray for holiday brunch parties and an excuse to make delicious treats.

Ok this is pretty cool as far as celebrity endorsements go. 🙂‍↕️

Looks like Smack Dab is wishing everyone a happy MFF weekend 🎉

I loathe writing up self-reviews at work.

Self care in the age of spammers and phishers

Dun da dunnnnnnn….

Applications are now open for CAKE 2026! Apply online at cakechicago.com/apply until Jan 5th.

Chicago… got some snow. My arms are sore from shoveling!

Thanksgiving, day three… from this…. To this!

Did someone ask for more Ora? No? Well, here you go anyway. I really liked the triangle they form

Woke up with a song in my head; I thought it was Phoenix but searched and found Two Door Cinema Club’s “Something good can work”. I hadn’t thought about them in *years*. I then found out they rereleased a deluxe version of that first album only yesterday. Freaky. genius.com/Two-door-cin...

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

Lately I’ve been getting into sumo. One of my favorite wrestlers is Ura! I sketched this up from one of his dynamic “fisherman’s throw” victories. I want to see if I can get better with drawing big bodies so I can freehand them as much as a superhero figure instead of heavily relying on reference

Thanks to @tiller.bsky.social for making sure we all knew that it was Turkey Lurkey Time. And for the tons of delicious food. And for good friends. 😄

This quiche was… maybe the best I’ve ever had! Thanks, Sauce & Bread Kitchen!

Applications for CAKE 2026 open December 1st! The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) returns May 2nd and 3rd at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago’s Mayfair neighborhood. We can’t wait to see you there!

Serendipity: spending some time this lovely Sunday morning with my knitting and Sunset Rubdown’s “The Mending of the Gown” is shuffled into my mix open.spotify.com/track/061O9t...

Jason had an amazing idea to accompany our Midsommar May Queen tree topper. He got a bunch of felt and fitted them on our LED lights for even more flowery goodness. I can’t wait to put the tree up! 🎄 ❤️

After a long hiatus (and a successful crochet project), I picked up my knitting needles again. I had to relearn even the basic stuff, and still don’t remember everything I used to, but thankfully it’s coming back quickly. Thanks @tiller.bsky.social for the yarn 🧶 💕

Wooble crochet progress. It’s tamago nigiri! I couldn’t finish this in my first attempt. I undid it all and started again a few days ago and definitely feel like I know what I’m doing, at least a little bit better. Working on the nori strip and then I’ll be done!

Recent songs I’ve been enjoying

Frankenstein was absolutely gorgeous. @realgdt.bsky.social delivered a masterpiece! Catch it in theaters if you can.

Jordan Myrick trying her first death drop! @dropout.tv #gastronauts

Paul F. Tompkins says, “Knock it off, furries!” (As a bit)

Ooh excited to listen to the new @mattbaume.bsky.social pod with @trungles.com as the guest! www.mattbaume.com/sewers-shown...

Felt like wishing my dwarf-lovin’ bud a happy birthday, and was drawn to Vanillaware designs and loose watercolor. Happy birthday, Leo!

We have some friends coming over to (re-)watch Over the Garden Wall, and I was curious to see if Posca markers would work on stone. Behold! The valley of facts. The big one was placed outside our door. If it gets stolen, that would be the perfect coda to this art. #otgw

Hooray! My random mini dungeon zine arrived today. Plus: included ink drawing!

My final piece for #gobtober This felt like a Norman Rockwell slice of life kind of scene. 31. Pumpkin! Thanks to Juan from oddartworks.com for the art inspiration
