my old man cactus and your purple hedgehog have the same sense of humor lolol
an old man cactus hanging out with other potted cactus and succulents. Old man cactus are covered in a white hair. This particular one is growing very phallic, it's got an indent near the tip that looks, well, y'know. The pot says, "I will survive" and has a little stake that says, "not a hugger"

my domino cactus had four lovely blooms!
A giant white flower with the longest stem coming out of a round domino cactus. It's in a low poly Bulbasaur planter surrounded with other succulents in decorative pots. The flower is huge. Another white flower covered in rain drops coming out of a round domino cactus. It's in a low poly Bulbasaur planter surrounded with other succulents in decorative pots. The flower is huge, dude wth! Again, a giant white flower with the longest stem coming out of a round domino cactus. It's in a low poly Bulbasaur planter surrounded with other succulents in decorative pots. The flower is gloriously big, like, bigger than the domino cactus it's sprouting from! A lovely giant white flower with the longest stem coming out of a round domino cactus. It's in a low poly Bulbasaur planter surrounded with other succulents in decorative pots. The flower is massive.

you know what DOES have your back? weird plants 🪴

@partlysunnypro.bsky.social is my succ dealer dream-come-true-er
A delightful corner of my succulent garden, held up by old bricks. There's a biiig variegated sedum burrito on the left, drooping over my fairy garden planter. We have a beautiful & tall fairy castle cactus in a bright cactus themed planter, then an odd lonely boncel looking like a tail in a cat shaped planter with its butt in the air. On the right, a widdle pot super full of teensy sedum minors, and two giant propeller plants standing tall behind them. There's a leggy green ice plant in a glittery pink planter that's giving Wicked. A few other odd plants tucked away here and there, and a couple Kodama figurines hiding about.

A notebook planner, a Hobonichi Cousin covered in stickers. Top is Dogma, from Binding of Isaac, a Totoro drinking a squishee with dizzy eyes, a "Mama, you're doing great" 3D text, and a bi pride flag. Iridescent rainbow monthly tabs and a glittery clear notebook cover? SO CUTE I CAN'T

Thanks @partlysunnypro.bsky.social for making my Christmas wishlist super easy and super cute! I'm obsesssssed
Three planters filled with various succulents. A medium red glossy ceramic planter with reddish succulents and a variegated elephant bush, a teeny tiny iridescent planter with some succulent florets, and a biiig clay heart-shaped planter in the middle, with a variety of cute small succulents surrounded by gravel arranged with a teensy clay pot to give the illusion of a standing overflowing bouquet arrangement.

good morning to specifically these pups and these pups only
Lovely succulents in a blue bowl - a big florette surrounded by propagating leaves, all with teeny tiny buds forming on the ends, waking up to morning sunlight.

I made a fairy garden for my birthday!🎍
A broken planter, filled in several tiers of pieces of pottery and various succulents to look like a teeny tiny hangout secret garden. There are Kodama figures tucked around and a cute hanging porcelain raccoon on the side.

happy pride!!
we made a rainbow steno practice board, part of each sale supports the Montrose Center in Houston

A 3D-printed board with a steno layout, held up with one hand in the sun to showcase the bright rainbow gradient from side to side. The black keys are with a wide asterisk and wide DZ layout, a common format.

I used a teensy bit of the scholarship money I won to treat myself to a new fountain pen. The rest goes to tuition, I promise!
A dark berry colored Kaweco DIY Sport fountain pen with a wide 1.9mm nib, laying on an open Hobonichi notebook, written in the purple Wearingeul Persephone glittery ink: morning, afternoon, and evening, scripted in hobbiton brush hand letters.

get y'alls planners readyyyy 🎊
A cute two window comic. The left says, "regular people in New Year's Eve" and shows happy partiers counting down to midnight. The right window has a very ecstatic individual also counting down with their pen, pencils and washi tape while staring at their new 2024 planner. This panel is labeled, "The Planner Community."

take this damn thing away from me
strips of washi tape, one that says "this is 6 inches, right?" on a 3 inch strip, one with sea life deco that says "that's that submarine money," and another that says The New Woke Times in old English font

the "craft" color isn't as vibrant as I hoped, idk what I expected
strips of brown cardboard box colored washi tape. One with "yo, I can print my own washi now" and one with "measure once cut twice" but cut off too short, and a strip with "boop boop" in a gothic font

Every Christmas we make a gingerbread house, but it's those cheap store bought ones and we don't follow the picture.

This year we made Barbenheimer:
Two boxes of cheap pre-cut gingerbread houses. One is Trolls themed with the chaos of sprinkles and bright colors, and the other is a Swiss Miss hot chocolate brand, so the house parts are a dark chocolate cookie. On a cutting board we have a delightfully poorly constructed duplex, one side has a laboratory table made from gumdrops, dark Trolls cardboard character on a Airhead laptop with an atomic bomb behind him made from a lemon Warhead & blue Airhead and marshmallow smoke everywhere. The brightly manic other side features Barbies dream pool with a Lifesavers floatie and a pink Troll cardboard character next to Barbies dream shoe closet - represented by a wall of candy sugar balls.

F and EF have their joys! I love them for certain things.

I love broader nibs because I love shading inks SO much. The saturation never shows it's majesty in smaller nibs, so we gotta go thiccc
