It’s sweater season, so of course my Sweater Dragon greeting card is back in stock 😀

In my head, to the tune of 7 Drunken Nights: "So I read the reply and I said to her Could you kindly tell to me How you see a question mark Where no question mark would be? For it's many a day I've posted A hundred skeets or more. But no advice did you need to give When no advice I asked for."

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

I don't even have the energy to be manic any more. I get all hyped up then immediately crash because nothing ever works out. It's very creepy and unsettling. (I'm not being flippant, I am bipolar.)

Your seasonal reminder that I design t-shirts (and related products) for grumps, queers, and weirdos. Impress your relatives at Thanksgiving Dinner! Surprise Grandma with the perfect Hanukkah present! Support a queer, trans independent artist who's been job-hunting since April!

The Trans People Take on the World Bundle is live on itch with 32 books for just $35 USD, all featuring trans characters, largely written by trans creators! A multitude of genres and vibes are included, including an epic dark fantasy romance by me, Powder and Feathers! itch.io/b/3352/trans...

It does show the absolute brain poison of *rich* people. I read plenty of *well off* people and they're posting "look at this cute coat I got my dog" "hi from Venice!!!" and selfies from gigs. They're enjoying the money. Meanwhile, the rich looks miserable.

Almost everything is Not Great but at least we have comics! And those are pretty great, tbh. At SIDEQUESTED, poor Prince Leopold is puzzling things out. #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics sidequested.com

The biggest lessons I learned about tabling at cons: * bring more books than you think you need (I brought 68 and sold out in 2 days; wish I'd brought 100!) * have signage that starts conversations * have freebies to get people closer * have pitches ready * make friends with your booth neighbors

(My thoughts are with all my American friends, I'm just so deep in migraine groggy I honestly can't tell which is the good or bad headline for some of this. I'm thinking of you all though, and I hope a lightning bolt knocks sense into your politicians. Now back to the wirework.)

If you eat meat, have a large household and/or someone to share orders with; I recommend getting on Butcher Box. I only stopped cause it was too much for me, living alone. #NotSponsored shop.butcherbox.com/partners/res...

Introducing the first of the new line, launching at the end of the month. These are the Geode Earrings. Irregular shaped studs with varying levels of solid sterling silver, and flush set with 4mm titanium spinels (3/4 carat total weight).

Picture from local paper, but every time I go past here, I feel they should use it to study something about "average height of graffiti artists" or something, because the entire building has a solid band around the blank side, then more variation at the corner where there's bits to climb up.

I do the same thing, but watching Hermitcraft it's funny how many people will scream "No thank you!" while being chased by monsters in video games. We're running for our lives, but we're polite about it.

Drawing cats in hats and mittens reminded me of this that I drew a while ago. Someone gave us some cat socks (as in socks for cats) for Christmas one year and I don't think we managed to get get a single one on a cat 😂

I can't do anything but do a scrëm and have an anxiety, so here's a watercolor I painted of an alien planet landscape. More art here: ko-fi.com/rookkilljoy #ArtSky #watercolor #painting #art #alien #landscape #volcano #kofi

Okay, tonight's inventory selections. Today's feature is a pair of earrings in gorgeous misty blues [shown below]. We have a half-dozen others, both bead and silver/stone, in similarly rich blues.

While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane. “When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

This is "Misty Blues": wingssilverwork.com/misty-blues-.... Sterling silver; tanzanite; rainbow moonstone; ultra-high-grade royal lapis lazuli; Java glass; new jade. [Sorry; only the one photo.]

Drew a Least Weasel because the name always makes me chuckle... "Thou art the very least of weasels!" Yet ounce per ounce, probably one of the most vicious and terrifying predators on the planet (but also deadly cute!) #art #SciArt

The finished piece! I learned a LOT doing this one. It'll make its debut at Narrow Gauge Books in Alamosa next month. Be there or be ... somewhere there's actually civilization, idk, we're in the absolute sticks here. #homedecor #wirewrapping #handmade #copper #copperart #smallbusiness #upcycling

I need another miracle this week. It should be one of my busiest weeks for sales and I have next to nothing for stock since my health is so bad. I have 2 or 3 pieces to hopefully list tomorrow, fingers crossed they sell ASAP. (It's hard not to just fall into a loop of terror there but eh.)

I bit the head off some stupid child on Tumblr for saying the rainbows/explicit LGBT-welcome signs on businesses made her suspicious because why wouldn't you be welcoming. ...and then she turned out to be my age. But good god.

I am JUST old enough to have caught a taste of the Before Times as a young adult, and yeah, I have pretty much universally found that under-30 LGBTs *literally do not believe you* when you tell them how significant the turnaround has been, and HOLY HELL does it leave me frustrated at times.

Got it all framed out, & I'm messing with the washers. I haven't done much with washers before, so figuring that out is sometimes frustrating, but it's fun, too. It's coming along nicely. #homedecor #wirewrapping #handmade #wire #copper #copperart #smallbusiness #gift #upcycling #reuse #recycling

Ursula did super well but she's going to get soft in trad publishing where the editors are nice to her. Anyway! DAGGERBOUND by T Kingfisher! A delightful romp with mild to moderate Ursula-standard horrors and plenty of old friends I have sorely missed. Out next August, pre-order now!

I know authors can't interfere with reviews, but I think as readers we should be allowed to vote people off the island. Just seen someone whining that a book should be "science fantasy" because zombies are impossible, and that she hates zombies. I'm sorry... but you're too stupid for books.

Food request! I need shelf stable diabetes-friendly food & medical supplies I cannot afford with my health issues. There aren't local food banks that can help me. All my food aid is from your kindness! Here is my list if you'd like to help this disabled queer trans artist. Thank you! #MutualAid

Liquid Gold sunrise. Photograph taken this morning on Glastonbury Tor. An unexpected but lovely morning. If anyone follows me on X (@glastomichelle) I have managed to lock myself out and support not helping at the moment. Just to explain my absence over there.
