M-O-O-N, that spells pretty. Still house-sitting, enjoying the novelty of being able to just see the moon from the yard. My house is in the woods, and the view is usually blocked. (Boromir: One does not simply look at the moon!) #moon

Pancho caught me sneaking up. No whiskers to see here, move along. #cat #catsky #whiskerswednesday

Azul will sometimes go upside down when he wants something. I’ll ask him why he’s being a funny pug and he’ll scoot closer while making silly faces. #pug #pugsky #rescuepug #tongueouttuesday #dog #dogsky

Thanksgiving 2025, A Thread. Holidays are pretty low key at my house. There are few solid traditions, but I almost always start this particular day off by watching The Witch while making green bean casserole from scratch. #thanksgiving

I don’t usually dress up, but today is Halloween! The hat was supposed to slouch, but it’s refusing to cooperate. So, guess I’m a pointy hat wearing, spell book thumping, classic old witch. 😂 #halloween #halloweencostume #witch #kumoricon

Resin Rose BJD Expo is at Kumoricon! Come see us, we’re in the industry row. We have badge ribbons to give/trade, and will be raffling off a different blind box doll every day! #kumoricon #kumoricon2025 #resinrosebjdexpo

Shrimps is bugs. #shrimpsisbugs

While hunting for the costume bin I found my Furbies that I could swear were donated a decade ago. I’m pleased because I did have regrets, but I’m creeped out because I was so sure I donated them. 😅👻 #toys #toysky #furby #vintagetoys

Happy National Cat Day! 🥳 #cat #catsky #nationalcatday #tabby #whiskerswednesday

Clean beans! #cat #catsky #tongueouttuesday #toebeantuesday #toebeans

A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having. -V #nokings #clackamas #oregon #vforvendetta

We said NO KINGS. Costumes and signs from No Kings Day. Clackamas, Oregon. #nokings #clackamas #oregon

Video 2/2 from Portland.

Meanwhile in war ravaged Portland… we’re eating the pugs, we’re eating the cats. Just kidding. Sous Chef Azul is supervising closely as I stuff some beautiful bell peppers foraged from the rubble. No pugs (or cats!) harmed in the making of this post. #pug #pugsky #rescuepug

Millie. She came out of nowhere in a snowy parking lot and climbed the leg of an acquaintance. I offered to foster her, but she quickly became part of the family. #cat #catsky #tabby #thenandnow #rescuecat

Blep. #tongueouttuesday #pugs #pugsky #rescuepug

Love at first spoo. 😅 As hard as it may be to believe, I have never seen Babylon 5. My gentleman friend recently found the complete set out in the wild so I’m indulging myself now. #babylon5 #spoo

Poppy and calendula. #flower #bloomscrolling

Kitten-sitting again. This is Pancho. She has the daintiest feet and likes to sniff the phone and bat my face. #cat #catsky

Doll Meet, August 2025. Beaverton, OR. A Thread. #dolls #dollsky #dollmeet #bjd

Kraprao-Hang-Kai-Dow, Thai Iced Tea, and Butterfly Pea Flower Juice. I got out of the house this weekend and had delicious food with one of my favorite friends at my favorite restaurant. #thaifood #khamdeethai

Remembering Newton on Caturday. We said goodbye this week after eighteen years of friendship. I guess I was never going to be ready for this. I miss her so much. #cat #catsky #caturday

I’m struggling a lot with this, so I’m going to borrow my gentleman friend’s eloquent words. Love the ones you love while there’s still time.

What are they planning? Should I be worried? 😅 #dogsky #dog #cat #catsky #catsanddogslivingtogether

Scrapbook spread of my paper goodies from Resin Rose #BJD Expo. Negative space? I don't know her.

On our way to Resin Rose and Nyacholas is already making good decisions. #resinrosebjdexpo #resinrose2025

During previous years I have tried to give folks a peek at preparing for the event, but I haven’t had the energy for that this time around because… *gestures vaguely at everything* But with the event being this weekend and all, I present the Swag-bag stuffing soirée. 🎁 #resinrosebjdexpo #dollshow

I can’t see, there’s a cat on my face. #cat #catsky #friendofgarak

Looking for Caturday. #cat #catsky #caturday

Long pug. 😅 #dog #dogsky #pug #pugsky #rescuepug

Laundry blep. #tongueouttuesday #pug #pugsky #rescuepug

The cabbage matches the drink. 😆 #khamdeethai #thaifood

Butterfly pea flower juice, before and after. If you’re not familiar with this drink, the ph changes after adding the lime juice in the tiny pitcher. This turns the color from blue to violet. #khamdeethai #thaifood

Radix Tetrad, A.A. Attanasio. More great cover art! I bought Radix for ninety cents at an antique mall while in Reno with friends a long time ago. So happy to have the rest of them now! Hoping they are just as strange. 🤞 #books #booksky #radixtetrad #aaattanasio

Lady Newton under stained glass. #whiskerswednesday #cat #catsky #grannycat

The Unicorn Saga, John Lee. 🧵 Ah, look at these great covers! I don’t usually do big book hauls, but got myself into a situation trying to complete this set. Couldn’t find them all in one place, added books to get free shipping. Oops, forgot a book! Repeat. 😅 #books #booksky #johnlee #unicornsaga

How about now? #dog #dogsky #rescuepug #pug #pugsky

A friend sent this to me and jfc it hits.

This week's podcast episode is up! With a million ideas for stopping concentration-camp creep at the end...

A few of my favorite signs from yesterday’s protest. This was the biggest crowd I’ve seen at this location so far! So much honking! 🫶 #nokings #clackamas #clackamasoregon

@jbirkmann.bsky.social Hello Americans 🇺🇲 German here 🇩🇪🇪🇺👋🏻 A lot's happening in your country right now, in LA, right?... I noticed that many feel like fascism or a civil war are inevitable. If you think that - ... watch this! I went out to show you something. www.threads.com/@janbirkmann...

It was Marz, in the metal shop, with the monkey wrench. (Um actually, it’s an adjustable spanner.) #selfie

Fake Snack! Inspector Newton on the case. #cat #catsky #grannycat #whiskerwednesday #gashapon #stillwaitingforyoubread

Lonely in the City. I know I won’t remember to bring my tokens back next time, so I used the last couple on this bummed out Pegasus. #gashapon #stillwaitingforyou

Bread on Vacation 🍞🌴 A gatcha palace is just dozens of token operated gashapon machines. This one I recently visited also has little diorama boxes to photograph your new treasures. My particular weakness is glowing bread sad boys. #gashapon #stillwaitingforyou #stillwaitingforyoubread

Butterfly Pea Flower Juice and Kraprao-Hang-Kai-Dow at Khamdee Thai Cookhouse. Beaverton, OR. I hadn’t tried either of these before. As always, the food was excellent. I’m also low key obsessed with butterfly drinks now. 😅 #thaifood #beavertonoregon #khamdeethai

This person was offering candies to anyone that asked for a closer look at their sign. He’d grin real wide and ask if you’d noticed what kind they were. Everyone would laugh. It never got old. #dumdums #clackamas #protests #nokings #mayday
