So… logically, any foreign president can kidnap and prosecute any president. Just thinking out loud.

I'm trying to teach myself that, even though I try to do my best on each and every card I make, not every card is going to WOW me. And that's got to be okay. #art #handmade

It doesn't click like the last one, but it's good enough. And I love that crazy paisley paper the fountain pen is made from. #art #handmade

Was cleaning an area of the basement and came upon a stash of toys, games, and puzzles. It's been so long since we had the time to play games that now, if I *had* the time to play a board game I'm so old I'd probably be sleeping.

This afternoon we curled up with kitties for a wholesome screening of Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas from 1977. I don't remember seeing it before, and it was delightful if somewhat melancholy.

Word of the Day: "Spelunking". Calypso loves her big cardboard box with so much packing paper she can go spelunking inside. 😆🐈‍⬛ #Caturday #void
Cardboard box with so much packing paper you can't see the void kitty inside.

Two Thank You cards, because I don't think people hear "Thanks" often enough. One is playful with a fall theme, the other is understated and elegant. #art #handmade
Handmade card with dimensional word "THANKS" on weathered wood with fall leaves painted on. Handmade card says "Thank You" with fountain pen and stamp on desk blotter.

I did not have "herniated disc" on my 2025 Bingo card. It may be time to look into mind altering substances.

The last of the Christmas cards for now. I dug into my stash for this older set because I wanted to make shaker cards. I don't like the aqua one as much; do you have a favorite? #art #handmade #Christmas

"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

FIL has had some health challenges, so I made him a card. It's an easel card, so the word balloons show when you prop it up. #handmade #art

#Music for your listening pleasure. The conductor and musicians execute the piece with such beauty and subtlety it is physically moving, bringing the listener to tears. It's delightful to watch how much the musicians enjoy themselves.

You know what? All these men can just fuck right off. They don't know jack about our bodies. Let women run the studies, make the recommendations, make the decisions. And maybe another generation will not have to suffer needlessly.
