Just your average pan-demi, AuDHD, blind, disabled, former neuroscientist and glitter loud mouth. Making art and trying to survive.

I'm a goth/punk riot grrrl who loves science and sci-fi. You've been warned.

Happy Halloween! It's been a rough year but I gave myself a treat today to celebrate; I had an appointment with a new rheumatologist that comes highly recommended for complex cases like mine.

Send good vibes for an actual diagnosis. I need out of this medical purgatory at least with my arthritis.

A friend sent this to me and it's so perfect.

Don't be an asshole.

My cat Mojo actually sat for a photo shoot yesterday for Friday the 13th. After all it is a sacred holiday of all black cats everywhere.

If he looks brown it's bc I had to edit so you could actually see his face otherwise he looks like a void with eyes.

Happy birthday to Boy George! You deserve all the accolades and not some orange asshat.

I like to do scrapbooking. It's one of the crafts I do for me and it makes my autistic brain very happy. It's also been the one thing I can do when I'm in a lot of pain. It is my escape. Well I make myself phone covers which I use with a clear cover and this is my one for this month. Happy Pride!

My dog was outside barking up a storm. Let her back in and sure enough could smell skunk. My daughter's dog got sprayed but my dog acts like she's the one who got hit and is moping around scared. Well I guess she learned her lesson. 😂

I won. Clara came back after realizing I was still snacking. She begged forgiveness by holding my hand.

She was a good doggo and was rewarded with treats and love.

A story in pictures.
1. Clara dog "oh you have extra big cheez-its". Head down, look cute as taught.
2. Mojo cat "Well damn I'm going to ruin this moment by insisting I am the ruler of this human"
3. Now there's only Mojo cat and has won the attn.
4. Everyone abandons me and I'm alone again.

Spawn #2 took me for my first ride in her '71 VW Bug. She rebuilt it her self and even converted an old drive-in speaker to hook up to her phone for music.

Her 21st birthday is on Tuesday.

She is so fucking cool and I'm so proud of her!

Tales from the spectrum:
As promised my favorite mug. Perfect smooth texture on the lip, with a nice bumpy tactile image. Perfect size and shape. That handle is divine!! And the best part, it satisfies my echolalia with its catch phrase, that I repeat at least 3 times, "you're creeping Meeee-oout"

Tales from the spectrum:
Meet my favorite/least favorite coffee mug. I absolutely despise the texture of this mug and it makes the wrong sound when I stir my sugar in.

But it's the perfect size and shape. It has a perfect handle shape and I love the moths.

This mug is in my regular rotation. 😂

This is eugenics. This is how it starts.

Always call it out.

Always push back.

I did make myself a set of earrings and necklace in this last batch. It helps ease the work to make something for myself.

Of course it had to be Spock. I like to call this his "I'm so sick of the shit" face. And frankly Spock, same.

I've been doing nothing but finishing jewelry. I barely sleep. My back is killing me.

But I'm in the home stretch. I hope I make a bunch of money because I'm going to be missing out while I recover from back surgery. Bodies suck.

My dog does this for her afternoon nap. She has to cuddle her face into my feet. Honestly my feet are always cold so this works for me.
March 23, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Interesting bc I just checked and Ro is still listed on the DOGE website under "friends of DOGE". So yeah fuck him.
March 16, 2025 at 2:40 PM
My daughter #2 took this old drive-in speaker, rewired it so it would plug into her phone, and made this for her '71 beetle bug. the same bug she's been rebuilding mostly by herself for the last couple of years.

And yeah she's an 80s punk.

Damn she's fucking cool.

If he dares to vote yes on either the CR or cloture we must primary him. For too long he has backstabbed Colorado with tech broligarchs and we will send him packing.
March 13, 2025 at 1:06 PM
@bennet.senate.gov I'm one of your constituents, disabled and a long third gen CO person and Dem voter. I saw you in a list that you were thinking about taking a bad deal.
Please vote NO on the CR and NO on cloture. The repubs play dirty and they will not follow through on any deals.

I got out of the habit of posting art from my goth dark academia room mostly because I still haven't figured out a good alt text work around. I will start again soon.
But first some art from spawn #2. This is a painted jacket patch and I love it! She can't make me one until she gets new paints.
March 11, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Hmmm I wonder if I have anything in my phone... Oh shite.
March 11, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Thus the month of my discontent begins. In other words, I've got wood and now I have to make jewelry for the Mile High Burlesque Festival. And yes it is a pot themed burlesque fest that rocks.
4/18 & 4/19 in Denver so go.
Anyway wish me luck in getting all these done and many many more.

Some more for added context. Can you find how her language is offensive and dismissive? This is ableism at it's finest.

Daily goth stuff from my bedroom because I'm still alive but barely today because of bad pain. This is a secondhand mirror that I repainted (sorry it's blurry but again pain). I decided not to edit out my phone so you can see the phone art I make for myself which is scrapbooking and a clear case.

Daily art from my goth/dark academia bedroom to take a break from the horrors of this black mirror episode called life.

This was one of the first pieces (1 of 2) I bought from a local artist through fbmp but unfortunately I lost contact with her and I cannot remember her name. One of my favs.
