We have reached that point in the holiday season at which there are Way Too Many Treats in the house.

What if I WANT to do things slower. Take years to finish a garment, put out a new act, complete a series of photos. What then. How do we make an easy pace, delayed gratification, and enjoyment of the process desirable on a grand scale. How do we restore to these their long-forgotten cachet.

I feel like the real problem people have with winter is the expectation that we operate at the same levels of productivity and energy as we do at other times of year. Winter is for sleeping and eating and relaxing and doing nothing. I wish I had the financial stability to take the entire season off.

Show this to every tech brained ganker in your life who says that AI is inevitable and here to stay.

Just got paid $50 cash for a thing and Arthur is trying to eat the dollar bills. "Arthur, you can't eat my money, I need it to buy food for you.. ..okay, well, I guess you ARE eating my money, then."

As "seamless" as Jacob Elordi's face in Frankenstein (2025).

I don't trust a cookie recipe that has me adding wet to dry. This is not the way.

New favorite thing to do is point to anything and call it a recession indicator

I've become really suspicious of the word "seamless" when I see or hear it used in advertising. It's often a descriptor for AI integration and, bruh, there's no way that integration ain't absolutely *riddled* with seams.

No bullshit is safe from the critical scrutiny and thorough research of @jewitches.bsky.social and I just love to see a takedown like this one:

Goat cheddar was on sale for an almost-reasonable price so I bought like three Goddamn bricks of it hallelujah praise the little baby Jesus Christ it's a true Christmas miracle.

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

Getting to know this legend has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I'm so pleased to introduce you to her with this gorgeous feature from the Inquirer, where she speaks for the first time in over 30 years on her incredible journey share.inquirer.com/XdfXr9

Are my hands red and itchy because I ate an orange or because I've been arranging coarse/spiky/toxic seasonal plant matter or because both.

killing “get that bag” requires killing a social media culture that venerates aspirational and individual consumption while rebuilding a civil society that provides base levels of economic and social bonds with a soft pressure of shame and shared morals which would be nice, but (gestures broadly)

!!WREATH!!

November plant portrait. Just posted the rest on the site where I post things.

The Red Cloud is a lot farther west than it usually is.

Little Sister discovered this when it first came out and I (a fool) slept on it for the better part of a year, but Teeth of Time by Joshua Burnside might be my top album of 2025? Listening on repeat is like holding my hand over a flame but not wanting to pull it away. Shit's absolutely devastating.

Editing my November photos and y'know what? I don't wanna do any beauty edits. I want to leave the textures and wrinkles and shine and barely-covered chin acne and blemishes in. I don't want to add/subtract/change any contouring. It's dirty and gritty and imperfect and I don't want to clean it up.

Leaving out the back door because my neighbour's out front with his leafblower less than an hour after the landscapers came through with THEIR leafblowers and I'd rather not be tempted to commit a murder today.

Ate one and y'know what? I didn't hate it.

highly recommend going to a local stream, river, or pond, and filling a mason jar with a few rotting leaves + water and seeing what happens over the next two months

it's december! life is sometimes bleak! here are my 100 favourite songs, and a man's fumbling swerves about why he loves them so much. www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/bes...

morning people have had it too good for too long

"Do you do wedding dresses?" (Yes but only for friends or extremely well-vetted friends-of-friends because it stresses me out.)

Thought this hawk was a decoy meant to frighten other birds out of this yard but nah it was real.

Just applied to a 2026 festival with "Phase" motivated by the fact that both of their venues have video projection capabilities; I don't ever want to perform this act without a gigantic moon behind me.

I have two things I would really like people to internalize about the fashion industry/garment manufacturing, and they are: 1. Mass manufactured clothes are only ever intended to fit "good enough," and; 2. Everything you wear was made by actual human people.

Rot girl autumn.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

And as the donations go brrrrrr we have hit $1 million at #DB2025 for @childsplaycharity.bsky.social Thank you all for your amazing support!

An automated email from my dentist's office represents 10% of the total happy birthday wishes I've received so far today, so I'm gonna go take a walk in the woods to think about some of the choices I've made in life, and how I got to this point.

It's my birthday and all I want as a gift is to be left the hell alone so I can finally edit these six photoshoots:

Today would have been the 20th anniversary of the worst decision I ever made in my life.. .. . . .. .anyways, divorce is great.

The way we treat the "least" among us is the measure of our success as a species; right now the bar is on the fucking floor; we've failed if it's only good for some and not all.

You can totally skip Queen of the Damned though, just look up the photo of Aaliyah being hot and listen to your favorite Nu Metal album.

Was in A MOOD last night and stayed up way late working on a big pile of repairs and alterations because I just want all this STUFF out of my HOUSE.

Am I sneezy because I have a cold or am I sneezy from breathing in cut faux fur particulate two nights in a row.

Post you from a different era. Long untidy hair era:

Any day I discover a horrible new plant is a good day.

Don't want to hex my neighbours. Just their leaf blowers. So every new one they bought would break and they'd have to go back to the gentle swish-swish-swish of brooms and rakes. I'd be a light witch of course. The rest of the villagers would thank me.

Maybe I do need to learn witchcraft so I can hex my neighbours' leaf blowers.

Mountain View Cemetery, 23 years ago:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Disassembled a large thrifted vintage oval mirror so I can take its frame to a cemetery for a photoshoot without ensnaring and bringing a restless spirit back home with me (I'd rather not risk it ok); there's a date stamp behind the mirror! It was framed 50 years ago!! (I love this shit!!!)

One thing led to another and now I've accidentally created some kinda weird altar in my workroom?

Sharties

Worst colour for stage has gotta be navy blue. There's nothing quite like navy blue for swallowing light and making people feel sad and being much too dark without even having the decency to go all the way and commit to being black. I've never seen a navy blue costume I liked.
