"What if" indeed

Left Bird is a little nervous but I think she'll do great.
Photo of my left forearm, which has the linework only for a tattoo of a female goldfinch perched on an azalia branch.

The asymmetrical ears on this fool.
Photo of a dog. He's a brindle hound mix, seated on a loveseat and looking out a window on a rainy day. There are some burlap "autumn leaves" strung across the window for decoration. The hound is viewed from behind, and his beautiful velvety ears are not symmetrical on his precious head. It's like they're set at a jaunty angle.

My sister: “Believe it or not, this is my most spiritual protest sign.”

Me: “Elaborate on that.”

My sister: “No.”
Photo taken at a No Kings protest on a dreary October afternoon. The photo focuses on a sign that is itself a photograph of David Lynch with the text: FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE

Reminds me of the best user review of Orwell's Homage to Catalonia on the Tacoma Public Library catalogue:
Screenshot of a two-star review of George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia from a public library catalogue: "Boring as hell. Barely made it through half before I gave it up. If you want a historical snoozefest, this is the book for you!" It has one like.

Proud of my folks. 🥰
Screenshot of a Signal message from my father, which reads: Welp, had to bid farewell to Star Trek because it's owned by Paramount; same now for Star Wars because it's owned by Disney, which owns ABC, which canceled Kimmel, which means... back to library books for our sole source of entertainment, I guess.

My phone (or Bsky itself, idk) keeps suggesting terrifying emoji chimeras and I keep resisting but maybe they finally got me

...ah
Screenshot of a Mastodon post from Matthew Haughey that itself includes a screenshot of a post of his from November 6, 2024 in which he said: "I hate to say it but our canary is now Jimmy Kimmel. If anything happens to him in the next four years, we've hit full blown fascism and need to leave to mine immediately." @mathowie's commentary from today is just "welp"

Church today was: good

(We also got to sing one of my absolute favorite hymns, "Earth and All Stars.")
Photo of a section of the program from today's service: A Prayer for Workers Loving, Working God, On this Sunday we ask your special blessing on all people who labor, Either for pay or as volunteers, in jobs or at school. We especially pray your blessings on workers who do not have jobs amd for those whose inadequate pay does not allow them to live the full life you intend for each of us. Creator God, help us to build a new world in the midst of the old. A world where all workers are valued. A world where those who clean houses are also able to buy houses to live in. A world where those who grow food can also afford to eat their fill. A world where those who serve and care for others are, themselves, also served and cared for. We pray for the coming of a world where all workers everywhere share in the abundance that you have given us. We ask these things knowing that you give us the courage and strength to live out our faith in the workplace and the marketplace, as well as in the sanctuary. Amen. HYMN As We Come Marching, Marching (insert) aka Bread and Roses

If Ken Martin is going to keep sending me fundraising appeals with postage paid remit envelopes, I am going to continue to make myself feel momentarily better by doing this sort of thing.
Handwritten letter on the back of a "YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK" map purporting to illustrate the impact of monetary donations to the Democratic National Committee. I wrote the date and "Dear Ken" and the letter itself reads: "I read in The Intercept_ that the DNC voted to 'kill a resolution calling on the U.S. to halt arms sales to Israel.' What the fuck, Ken! Please explain why on Earth I should donate money to the DNC if you freaks can't even support thr cessation of arms sales to a nation actively engaged in ethnic cleansing? My disgust is unfathomable. Sincerely, Cassandra"

No new pictures: where are you mentally?

Fools. There is no exit from Skeetsville.
Photo of a sign in a parking garage. It's supposed to say "street level exit" but letters are missing and damaged in such a way that it looks like: SKEET VEL EXIT

Also you have deeply offended Christine. May god have mercy on your soul.

Baby's first Zinefest! ✨And✨ I'm smugly congratulating myself for remembering to pick up my preordered copy of In The Land of Simplicity while I was there.
Photo of the spoils of my visit to Tacoma Zine Fest. There are some stickers and business cards (and Mattie Lubchansky's graphic novel In the Land of Simplicity) and nine zines. The zines are, left to right: Ruins in Bloom (a tiny ttrpg!), Nature in the Qur'an, Nature in the Gospels, crying on the bus, Mushrooms are People Too, D.B.T. Coping Skills for People Who HATE Being Told to Take a Deep Breath, RESIST DOOMERISM: What To Do Now?, Sweeps Kill, and Raccoon.

I am so good at selfies
Mirror selfie of a tired, bespectacled forty-something white lady wearing sweatpants, a tank top, and a fabulous Justice for Anne Boleyn crop top—a piece of high-quality merch for the Cancel Me, Daddy podcast. A string of chili pepper lights is draped over the mirror.

A crime against fashion and against me, personally
Blurry screenshot from a circa 2009 YouTube video. A fat white lady with her hand on her hip. She is at work, and her work uniform consists of a maroon sweatshirt and deeply unfortunate khaki shorts.
