I'm a graphic designer but when represented in film I'm either a quirky artsy stereotype who Follows Her Own Style or a Type A advertising junior exec with drive but no creativity but for sure A Man Will Fix Whatever's Wrong With My Life.
Hello, I'm an author in a film. I will be seen doing anything but writing a book, because typing is boring. Then I will have a 30-second montage of clicking away at a keyboard, I will hand a ream of paper to my editor who will declare it to be genius and a week later I will be atop the NYT list.
Hello, I'm an attorney in a film. I have a pure and perfect knowledge of every area of practice in every jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I will be corrected by a plucky law school grad who just passed the bar. After some stubborn resistance, I will silently nod and take her under my wing.

The Mouse Catcher.
Mercury kept trying to sit on my work computer mouse so I deployed decoys. In this picture, he's lying on TWO wireless mouses with a third in front of him.

Monocular baby Burz update!
What you DON'T see here in his habitual intense stare is just how loudly he's purring.

Sweet boy Burz continues to heal well. His stitches are purple, which is his favorite color anyway, and his fur is growing back in nicely.
He's also SLIGHTLY less grumpy toward psycho-boy Merc, which is probably mostly because Burz feels better in general with that sore eye gone.

Until I shared it them this weekend, members of family were previously unaware of one of my favorite Will Rogers quotes, so now I will make sure to share it with you all:
"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."
"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

D'aww, thanks, @campylobacter.bsky.social! You want green or yellow eyes on those kitties, and is the length of the daisy chain bracelet okay or do you need it resized?

Despite otherwise participating in today's economic blackout, I'll be writing a huge check for my boy Burz's eye surgery; he had his left eye removed yesterday and has been terrorizing the vet's office ever since with his GROMPY self.
Poor baby.
Poor baby.

I took my youngest to see Santa last week. It went well except that Santa smelled like dogs.

What am I doing in the "off season"? Well, I have a few commission orders to make, some Christmas gifts to make, a little D&D to play, and also took Booth Cat Mercury out to Petsmart so he could watch the exotic birds channel on Cat TV.

Use a GIF to show where you’re from
Not everyone can pick a GIF from a movie titled after their hometown that had nothing to do with the town, was mostly filmed in other towns, and is memorable only for the origination of the term "manic pixie dream girl" to describe Kirsten Dunst's character 🙃

Only a few minutes away from my family Thanksgiving.
Hoping my super-duper conservative brother and his wife will behave themselves, as the brother hosting, his wife, our dad, and I are all NOT pleased with the outcome of this election...

I was sharing, once again, the Slate article about YourSlipIsShowing, and I thought to myself "Thank FUCK Fiqah didn't live to see how this year's election turned out."

Years Ago, Black Feminists Worked Together to Unmask Twitter Trolls Posing as Women of Color. If Only More People Paid Attention.
The fake accounts had handles like @NayNayCantStop, @LatrineWatts, and @CisHate, and bios like “Queer + black + angry.”

How could a trans ban affect me, a cis female? Well:
1) I don't own a purse. I carry my wallet/keys, etc. in my pockets.
2) I'm overweight and don't really have a waist. I'm also short torso, so women's jeans don't fit well. The low rise ones come up to my waist.
