It's 6am let's see how fast I can bleach my roots before I have to wake the fuck back up at 10am.

Me: I'm going to be so productive tonight. Also me: Whoops, was productive on the wrong thing!

When you think you're maybe gonna finish a thing today but then it becomes inevitable that you need to put an invisible zipper in the thing.

Nearly 7 weeks into 2026 and I AM SO TIRED OF WORKING MY ASS OFF ALL THE TIME. I love my clients - they literally sustain me - but holy Christ if I could just experience a couple days WITHOUT a deadline screaming towards me like a runaway freight train that would be GREAT.

i love when a flower begins to get just a little bit decrepit

Thank you to my friend @fayehavoc.bsky.social, who recently sewed an insane 20' single seam to help me create a fabric backdrop for the studio. This project will save thousands in paper costs while reducing my carbon footprint, and significantly decrease my business's reliance on US made supplies.

So tired and messed-up during this I-can't-count-how-manyth all-nighter I've had to pull this year that my brain clicked and was suddenly able to identify a song I've been trying to remember the title, artist, album, ANYthing of, for WEEKS, now.

Winter so warm. Camellias so early.

Sure would be great if, after a week of stressing about this project and an 18-hour sewing marathon, the piece I've been working my ass off to finish for someone's show on the weekend was, y'know, NOT a steaming pile of failure.

Something that really grinds my gears is people going "technological advancement is happening so fast, I heard it directly from the people who stand to profit directly from said technological advancement" like...y'all should know better by now.

The downside of Actually Being In Shows Again is having to send in performance bios and promo pics. All my burlesque-appropriate photos are wildly out-of-date, and I either hate most of my recent stage photos or they're just not right for this.

A friend of mine works at one of our city's big professional hockey stadiums and calls it the "boy aquarium" and y'know what yes.

I would get so much fucking work done if I wasn't constantly worrying about money.

January. Won't be getting any snow here this winter, but at least we get snowberries.

Homemade blackberry jelly reminding me of the one (1) good thing about summer.

I was just thinking today how I wish I had a magical power that anytime someone tells me art isn't a real job or a valuable contribution to society, I can snap my fingers and they will no longer be able to experience any kind of art until they apologize.

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

Might've just experienced sleep paralysis for the first time..?

lounging around the house on a very cold snowy day thinking about how there’s a french verb for lounging around that’s the verbing of the noun for “slippers” pantoufles: a pair of slippers je pantoufle: I’m relaxing pantouflard: (pejorative) a stay-at-home lazybones

trying out an app for anxiety and yeah man, double work is rough

Wow vacuuming all the filthy old cobwebs off the ceiling sure makes our garage look nicer.

Lulu why are you like this.

Spent the better part of last year dissociating into piles of flowers but I might be over it.

Someone please discourage me from making a new burlesque act to old-ass early 2000s emo.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

I hope all their investors withdraw yesterday and it's in ruins before the end of the year. Artists know genAI is bad for humanity. We cannot wait to dance on its grave.

December Plant Portrait drop on Patreon! Here's one of seven finished images. Sorry for being unseasonably festive at you, but I (love greenery & berries more than a normal amount, and) wanted to finish this set before it got too weird to keep listening to Christmas music while I edited.

Just bought those undeserving assholes who freeload in my house a cat condo I am sure they will ignore

Regrettably, due to cosmically bad vehicle troubles, I will not be vending at @arisia.bsky.social this year. You can peruse the online shop if you want to help an independent artist out. (And you can buy stickers there, which the venue wouldn’t permit anyway.) { strangehours.com }

I am begging the Queers to learn the difference between a clique, a group of close friends, and a community. thank you.

What I want is to help people feel less alone, to help them liberate themselves, and to flush out some of the wounds culture gives us. Like I wouldn't be mad at an award, but this is what I've always wanted to do, and that's because I love queers and freaks and I want them to know it.

My friend Luna and I are selling stickers we made to raise money for our dear friend Lu who was hit really hard by vet bills for their two cats in 2025. Any amount you're able to contribute will go a long way towards helping them. <3 fundrazr.com/LuAndKitties

The decriminalization pilot program saved hundreds of lives - how is that not considered a success?

Made a deal with the devil and now I'm VIBF's 2026 Performer Liaison what have I done.

Picked up my Boxing Day sale order from Dressew and the sexual tension between me and these fabrics:

Brute-forced my way through 5 hours of post-midnight wedding dress alterations on hard mode with a screaming caffeine withdrawal headache. I now feel like I've been hit with a bag of hammers.

O no I am ignoring all my sewing deadlines and spending the day editing unseasonal photos instead o nooooo . .. . . 🫠

<John Mayer voice> My body is a garbage can.

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras. Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom. They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water. (📷: Fernando Maidana)

winter through wobbly old glass

Made an extremely disappointing tomato soup from scratch last night, but made a lot of it. Tried to salvage the leftovers tonight. Turns out the solution was just to add a fuckton more salt. 🧂

someone should invent a chore that is done permanently once you do the chore

me, tabling things until the new year: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! me, circling back: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

IT ALMOST KILLED ME BUT I PICKED MY FAVOURITE 25 ALBUMS OF 2025! Come hang out and listen to (what I thought was) good music! Twitch.tv/bravenewfaves

OmG Lulu :3

Wanted so badly to avoid starting work on a wedding dress alteration tonight that I spent almost 3 hours going through and throwing out old paper patterns from the archive instead.

Ugh, boring (but hope IS something I have lacked for many years now, so like, nice if true.)

I wanted to make a lemon pig but I didn’t have lemons or toothpicks now I’ve gone and summoned the spirit of Dali and will have a surrealist year ☹️

For the Year of the Horse, I would JUST LOVE IT if a producer who wasn't a FUCKING PROBLEM asked me & @donnabossrogers.bsky.social to perform "Horsin' Around" in a show.
