(Pet loss) We had so many dogs at one time, I made these silly placeholders for each one, so wouldn't get their bowls or meds mixed up. Placeholder Rose has been retired, and now sits with her placeholder sisters, Darby and Pinky. It's become a ritual as part of my processing.

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

Sometimes when I want to feel clever, I repeat my own thoughts, but spoken by John Oliver. I don't know why I can mentally conjure his voice.The only others my brain does are Morgan Freeman and the cast of Hellboy. I like to feel wise, and/or like 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. #Johnoliver #metacognition

I'm not usually a huge Superman fan (He never has a personality), but the latest movie was SO GOOD. I'm not quite getting the "woke" comments, though. Is it really because they acknowledged he's an alien immigrant? He is, though. The alienest, immigrantiest alien immigrant of them all.

I don't know how old Mr. Fantastic is supposed to be, but Pedro Pascal is the only reason I'm considering watching yet another iteration of the Fantastic Four. They could ditch the other three and call the movie Pedro Pantastic and I'd be in.

All they did was point out that Superman is an immigrant. 🤷

For Disability Pride Month, I have this to say: Societal focus on financial success ignores everything else that people have to offer, from non profit work, to creative endeavors, to just being a person, which is worthy in and of itself. Just spend five minutes talking to anyone. #disabilitypride

I hadn't taken a closer look at the disability flag before. I have type 1 narcolepsy, which is considered a disability. It affects me physically and cognitively, and I require support in taking care of myself. #julyisfordisabilities #narcolepsy

This popped up in my feed. Lauren Magaziner writes all kinds of genres for young folks. Skimming through some interviews, I get the idea she felt she needed to create the *inclusive* adventuring sorcerers story that she wished she'd had growing up. Pretty cool. #books #inclusive

Eleanor Alberga's No Man's Land Lulliby (1996). A classical composition with a twist ending! I had to listen to it again and go, "Oooh, the clues were there all along." Eleanor Alberga! *chef's kiss* *applause* #classicalmusic #blackwomancomposer

I kind of knew this, but didn't realize until today how extensively true this is: Anything I can learn on the harmonica, I can transfer to the concertina. But learning on the harmonica is SO MUCH EASIER, so I wanted to pass it on. #okayatlotsofthings

Can't sleep, painting the creepy little child statues. I made Bee and Puppycat, and Princess Fiona.

Why Are So Many Ancient Statues Missing Their Noses?

I gave my 90s toon Lydia Deetz a makeover. I can't change the style of the figurine, but I can at least give her the Tim Burton eyebrows. And as bad as it sounds, I clipped her wings. They did not camouflage well. #art #alteredmoments #genericmoments #Beetlejuice #90scartoons

I gave my Sleepy Fox painting to a charity auction, and it sold! I feel so touched. This is the only thing I've ever done in this style, but maybe I'll do more. I have been feeling like my current style has been worked out of my system lately. Someone requested rabbits. No need to twist my arm!

Oh, I forgot about Patches. Finished, maybe? I think the gunky paint doesn't look too bad on him. It helps him look grizzled. #art #alteredmoments #patchesohoulihan #if_you_can_dodge_a_wrench_you_can_dodge_a_ball

Wobbly works in progress. All fan art. I desperately need a better craft paint. This stuff is gunky. But I still felt like playing. Should I cut off that Valentine? It could be a blade... or an ear... #art #alteredmoments

One of my very favorites: The Montagues and the Capulets, AKA The Dance of the Knights, from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. I saw a performance in high school, but I was seated up front, hyperfocused on the sound of ballerina toes tapping the stage. I would like a do-over, please. #music #misophonia

Speaking of black composers: Ride of the Valkeries may have gotten ruined for me when I found out Wagner was a terrible person, but Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade in A minor is giving me all the right vibes. #music
