The Madame Mantis costume is almost right. Photos from Dragon Con indicate she’d look better with the gold filigree carapace (insect anatomy) carried down through her legs. I’ve got a few months to thrift something that’ll work 😄👍

Inquisitor Oriza is a harder wear as I age, but damn what fun cosplay to inhabit.

The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

For my friends who knew this would happen under Project 2025 and did all they could to stop it - I’m so sorry for the suffering ahead.
For those who voted for the GOP and these predictable promised outcomes - Take your medicine. Sleep in the bed you made. And Fuck your upcoming GoFundMe.

Transforming our century-old pump organ into a usable desk gives us another 100 years with this beauty ❤️.
Irreparable as an instrument but important as family heirloom, making her an active part of our lives again with this update feels great! #pumporgan #antique #diy #renovation #transformation

We are all pennies.
Marked with Liberty and E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One), a Penny is the individual American currency that all larger sums are built from. You can’t have a dollar without 100 pennies.
Pennies, altogether, are powerful.

As a tech-clumsy old lady with an iPhone, I prob make things harder than they have to be, when trying to protect my privacy from Apple, Google and their ilk.
So anyway, I just went app-by-app in Settings to reduce access from Siri’s nosey ass. Learn elsewhere.

1) Devastate the US population economically.
2) Demoralize the US population and sow division.
3) Test population’s resolve to protect freedom with attacks on minorities.
4) Invite external assault (911-esque) to allow for US martial law.
This is the plan.

Resistance was futile when John F. Goddamn Strangeway badgered me into throwing together Ackmena from the 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special. I did it for Bea Arthur. #starwars #Christmas #ackmena #cosplay #pestered #beaarthur #closetcosplay

Yesterday, on my late mother’s bday, I found this photo in the organ project, tucked away in a compartment. This was her organ. She learned to play on it, and spent the following decades playing each next modern interaction of organ at various churches. This is the photo I’ll keep with organ desk😊❤️

Captured by @dimhorizonstudio.bsky.social under Sloss Furnace in scorching Alabama July temps. This is what heat exhaustion in a latex costume looks like. Exquisite art 😊🙌. Alas, the costume is no more.

Finally committed to reconfiguring our 1910 Weaver pump organ into a desk, transforming a family relic into functional furniture for daily use. Will share a link soon with the journey. Here’s a bouquet of reed stops that will remind us of her old life as she moves into her new one. #organ #desk

Thrifted this big, old doll and discovered that “Follow Me!” Eyes were a thing for a time. 😮 Her name is now Ebaybee. She’s my office mgr, sits on my desk with motivational ‘get to work’ quotes. CON: I can’t escape her gaze PRO: Judgy staring apparently ups my productivity. #vintagedoll #bossbaby
