Let's shake on it

Truly this week was brought to by WTF

Doing what you need to do in order to survive a government that wants you dead & forgotten IS resistance. I know I’m not the only disabled and/or chronically ill person struggling with not “doing enough”. You being here, living your life despite their eugenic wishes, is enough. You are enough. 💜

Cute answers only: what are these @paizo.com cuties from @wizkids.bsky.social chatting about as we get ready this morning?

Throughout history, it's the artists, the writers, the general creatives who kept record for what was happening, who held their peers accountable. Keep. Doing. What. You. Do. In this day and age, we need it now more than ever.

Oldie but goodie 😂

A fellow and I were chatting in an elevator ride. Said he was having a day and I said I could relate. He looked at my squishmallow strapped to one bag and asked if r problem was child related. Laughed and told him "oh no, I'm the child in that case." Look...I need a stuffed animal to sleep ok?

You can tell a LOT by the sense of humor some FB page owners have and the response it gets from followers. When someone has the lack of judgement to share a post in poor taste and the group members start laughing... Yeah that's a bad sign.

Finally finished a hybrid embroidery and crochet project. I actually have a series of jellyfish to completed and then edged with crochet loops to tension mount onto a larger inner embroidery hoop.

Any chance I'll see some familiar faces at PAGE next week? Going for work and would be great to catch up!

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

This idiotic, pompous, infantile, narrow-minded parasite is destroying this country and now attacking others.

Bread was needed, so I baked it. Sammies for lunch are gonna be gooooood.

Not ending the year listing off accomplishments. Instead I'm exploring everything I want to leave behind to make room for what I want in the next year. It doesn't have to be grand gestures or resolutions in this transition. It can be simple, gradual, or even a redo of something if you need it.

I was scratching her chin and then stopped. Turns out she fell asleep on my thumb. This cat 😂

Tomorrow I'm doing a NYE luncheon with my neighbor. Looking forward to doing something together before the year is out. Just need to make some bread tomorrow am for the sandwiches. 😀

USA Today article just dropped! This is HUGE!!! www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

in the mines 💎

To cleanse the feed a bit, I give you these cuddles.

I too got an email today offering access to the content to review etc. They got a firm no and told to remove my email from their list. To be extremely clear, I DO NOT SUPPORT AI. Nor do I support groups that treat others poorly. I have yet to hear good things about them.

SO, you want to network but don't know where to begin. 1. DON'T. Make friends instead 2. It's not about what they can do for you 3. Famous people are just people first 4. If you do have to gush, don't just say 'i love your work' , pick one thing and say why. Open ended compliments are awkward

If you're a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Avatar (all varieties), Hunger Games, and many more of the like... Yet voted for Trump... Congrats you are this.

inks WIP! (still need to add pearline and grace)

Been enjoying the chance to cook different and yummy meals and treats this week now that I actually have the time to do it. So far it's been a hit for each one. Cooking for the people I love is one of my love languages for sure. Just a few examples below.

Ok so I may have stumbled into something. Buffy season 4 epi 15 this year's girl has a haunting femme voice in the background pretty much singing the same mysterious vocals you hear in Frozen... Which came out over a decade after this episode. Things that make you go hmm.

FYI, the lightbulb/speaker combo is a game changer for those who like to shower with music or shows going on in the background. Got one as a gift and easy to install, use, and change up the lighting.

My hard cider matches my candle stick.

Nothing like getting a gift with your legal first name on it...That you hate at this point and never use unless needed. 😤 That and I'm not 4. I don't need personalized things

For those of you using your PTO over the next couple of weeks, remember that is PART OF YOUR COMPENSATION as an employee. That is your time to step away, take care of yourself, and enjoy your non work life. You don't need to be fully on and fully accessible.

Baked with all the perfect spices, candles prepped and altar getting the final touches with fresh greens. Wrote my intentions this morning in the quiet early light. Looking forward to a peaceful evening for tonight's solstice.

The start of solstice 🌲🕯️🎆

Sometimes you just need to do another binge watch of Buffy.

Sending my heart out to my trans friends and followers today. You are seen and you are loved.

I know what I want for the holidays. Someone to come up to me and run through a list of everything they handled, adeptly, without issue or being told, because they noticed it needed to be done. I don't want to ask for help. I don't want to be asked to do more. I just want to get a chance to breathe.

Holy carp...my table sold out for the Castle at the end of June! Can't wait to meet the players and run this mini campaign again.

Apparently I found her off switch. Just rub her tummy while she's on her back and snuggled up on my lap... She just melted and went totally limp and purring happily.

There's a limbo for some people this time of year. The want to go back to the feeling of "home" but the actual home not being it. By all means, celebrate the time with friends and family but remember, not everyone has that luxury. And the whole "but they're family" can go the way of the dodo.

I think I figured out why those Hallmark style movies aren't my jam. Inevitably, I clock where they stole the plot, be it book, musical, play, or other older movie. And then I find something else to watch because I'm annoyed. Now my brain sees these as visual chat gee pee tee. 🤨

Welp... The voice is definitely gone. Like no chance of getting sound out. Trying to talk to cats earlier to see if I can say anything and they are looking at me so confused and downright horrified since. I give up. Off to see if I made an unknown deal with a sea witch in my dreams.

I don't go through life keeping tally of who owes me for favors done. I also don't appreciate people who think they can do something for me with expectations that they'll get something out of it.

Wait... Someone had issues with Matthew L? This isn't one of my fever dreams? This year seriously needs to wrap up. All the joy keeps getting sucked out of it.

When you take a sick day before the day even starts... Please send healing/healthy vibes my way. I need to not be sick after this round for a while. (Also appreciate not getting hugs comments if we haven't actually hugged irl or don't chat via texts)

There is something so frustrating being sick when you're off work and then having to work when you are starting to feel better. It's even more so when it's now two weekends in a row.

Cold Winter's night, tree lights, and quiet.

Don't go through life acting like people owe you favors because you helped them, or better yet, do something or offer to do something for them and expect to get something in return. Life is not a tally system. Help for the sake of making the world just a little bit better in general.

How it started and how it ended. Decided to take some time for myself and get back to a canvas. Been caught up with Northern lights thanks to recent solar storms and a mod in my Minecraft account.

Today doesn't need to be happy this or that. It can be what you need it to be. Holidays are weird for many who don't have the classic happy family unit. I'm solo this year and plan on watching movies and taking it easy. And most likely getting sushi instead of even trying for turkey dinner.

It was so good to see so many familiar faces at Unplugged this year. Such a great experience. Looking forward to next steps and plans from the variety of meetings and wonderful to be able to connect with everyone I had a chance to say hello to.

As a reminder! I'm bringing some extras to give out while I have them. Unpainted that is. If you want to paint them with me, Friday 10 am for the pumpkin golem and Sunday 10 am for the gingerbread dude. Both are part of the Workshop at Unplugged!
