dapper man with a white beard in a black suit with fedora and violet shirt, performing a poetry reading. He has a hardbound journal in one hand with the other hand raised as he reads from the book.

It’s the last day of #pride month, but I’ve got pride 365.

Hope all you lovely queers do too. Take care of yourselves and each other.

And don’t let the bastards grind you down. 🏳️‍🌈

Wow. That’s so cool. I have a crow who lets me know when the service leaves something to be desired. Got this pic when he was letting me know that the birdbath was frozen. 😆

#dailyHaikuPrompt “Water Cold Spring”

This soulless coldness
can only spring from darkness
so complete it eats

any tiny flame
of empathy, evil rips
apart families.

#dailyHaikuPrompt “Flies Overcoat”

Shady looking folks
in their black overcoats, fly
to my roof, peering

in my studio
window. Just a misfit chick
feeding misfit crows.

As usual I’m (fashionably?) late to the party, but happy #pride y’all!
here's an oil painting from my pride series. With reference from photos I’ve taken at marches over the years (Note, this was from 15 years ago, so the more inclusive flags weren’t a thing yet.)

Have you ever felt unfairly pressured by a teabag?
I’m just trying to make a cup of throat coat here, not accepting the
Nobel prize. 🙄
Also, is “upliftment” a word?

And there's an official's timeout as a giant orange cat has wandered onto the court to announce that he hasn't had dinner yet.

Overhead shot of a very handsome, very stripy orange cat stretched as long as possible in a patch of grass. Floor level shot of magnificent orange cat and his spotted belly as he stretches out his arms and legs, stacking his paws just so.

When I tried to write this morning I discovered a duck swimming on the surface of my notebook. Oh well. Guess I'll have to try again after he's flown away.

Due to Covid, it’s been awhile… but it was #AnthraxTheBand of course.
Anthrax playing live at the Fillmore in Denver. In the center in Scott Ian playing guitar and yelling into the mic. Also pictured are Jon Donais, Joey Belladonna, and Frank Bello. The lighting makes everything appear purple.

Oh look at that guy! I always wanted a shepherd.
I get it. It’s so damn hard to lose one like that.
I lost my bear (Bubba) almost 2 years ago now and I’m not over it at all. They’re all “special” but some of them are just… like you said, your soul.

Most people in my area woke up to snow this morning, but I was lucky enough to wake up to this view of the sun.

Seriously, is this guy even real? 🧡

Do I actually have the most irritating voice in the universe, or have I just been listening to it for too long?

Check out my latest post where I talk about the magic of art, and clown ChatGPT and you can judge for yourself.

Freckled toe beans
Fix everything.
Look, but never touch.

Exquisite orange cat laying on his side stretching his feet towards the camera. Cream colored fur juts from between pink toe beans with brown freckles. Close up of pink kitty toes with brown freckles. You want to touch them but I would advise against it.

For anyone who is having a hard time, I offer you toe beans. They may not fix everything…wait, what am I saying? They have freckles. Of course they fix everything.

I decided to polish up this sketch for my haiku.

#QueerArtist
Stylized marker sketch of a fern with a stack of books in front of it and a steaming cup of tea in the foreground. The sketch is surrounded by a black border. on the opposite page gold lettering against a black background reads: “daily haiku prompt: fern spice. Fern in the corner, spicy tea, and a pile of books, waiting for me. I think I prefer the title “reading nook”
