Tlönista. Shitposting merrily downward. Weird plant, cat, books lady. Sci-fi, fantasy, art, jazz, etc. Profile photo is a selfie with the bottom half of my face hilariously covered by my cat's. Banner pic is of crows in a tree.

A parking lot of a former Rite-Aid turned a little bit magical by a large puddle reflecting a glorious sunset.

A cartoon of the trolley problem showing someone just blowing up the trolley before it hurts anybody (someone put a hammer and sickle over this particular figure but I don't think you have to be a communist to blow up a bad faith train)

Extreme no makeup close up selfie from just now incoming. I labeled it "graphic" so you can be spared if you don't want to see my mug this close
An extreme close up of my morning face without makeup. It's not the most flattering shot but my complexion is very clear

its fine, will be fun
An email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Linda Stone. She says: "I'm not sure it would be a good option to live in the US for a Trump/Pence presidency with Bannon as a key advisor. Am I wrong? The hate, the antisemitism (swastika painted all over the park a few blocks from me) and "His" desire to be Putin… All super concerning." His response is: "its fine, will be fun"

I painted a fan art painting of one of my cats in the style of Matisse last week that staved off a breakdown and here she is in real life
An amateurish painting of a demonic looking tortoiseshell cat looking gleeful and chaotic with a pink, orange, and green background. It is an attempt to imitate the style of Matisse A tiny chaotic tortoiseshell cat in real life. She is asleep upside down on a blanket with her paws on the air and her eyes open.

Oh yes and also: it's big 😂
Me, proudly holding my painting of Bella the cat. It is a rather large painting; the cats head is as large as my own. My t-shirt also has a painting of a cat on it. I am covered in paint.

I'm just kidding you can critique all you want I'm just not gonna listen. Behold, Bella the Cat in the style of Matisse's "Green Stripe"
A ridiculous painting of an absurd little tortoiseshell cat with pastel pink, ocher, and green blocks as a background. She is grinning at the viewer. My shading is terrible but I don't care.

This was supposed to have these photos attached to it but it's really funny as a stand-alone
A painting of a character from The Godfather and the following quote: "The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, lies in its loyalty to each other."

It's in progress but possibly the funniest thing I have ever painted
My latest stray turned pet, Bella, painted in a simplistic style with a blocky pink, ocher, and green background.

I'm not joking. It's a work in progress lol
A demonic looking tortoiseshell cat that I wanted to paint in the style of a Machiko but is now turning into a Matisse imitation on its own. I am collaging an image into the upper right of a framed picture of a bird in a suit and tie

This one (I didn't see the logo at first so I assume it might have gotten by others too, so I highlighted it)
An American Survey Center feature called "how did Americans vote in 2024?" I have highlighted the AEI logo at the top.

Actually this one has become a bit of a sleeper hit
An image of Bluebeard handing his wife a ring of keys. I have added text to it that says, "he's a 10, but he won't let you into his secret basement dungeon"

A book called Old Filth, by Jane Gardam.

No one liked my meme over on the library volunteer page I maintain but I made myself laugh like a donkey

A little tortoiseshell cat asleep, I think, but upside down with her paws in the air and with her eyes open. She looks like she's a bit possessed
