Had to have something to do with my hands while mostly waiting around on doctors* for two and a half hours, so here’s the start of shawl #10! My (rad, multifaith, accepts my agnostic autistic ass) church is making shawls to donate and I always need to fiddle, so. Making myself useful I guess lol
On a brown wood tabletop: the beginning of a triangular granny shawl worked with a 4.5mm hook in Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn (variegated pinks, greens, white). To the left is the ball of yarn and a lavender pencil case filled with hooks and stitch markers and such. To the right is a circular floral placemat and the blue handle of a fabric bag.

Combination surf and turf (when a cat looks like shramps AND pork chop) 🍤🥩*

*I know but we don’t HAVE a pork chop emoji
An orange cat curled up on the arm of a dark red couch. His right back leg is sticking out in the fashion of a shrimp tail or a pork chop bone. The only visible part of his face is his mouth, pink nose, one slightly flattened ear, and one squeezed-shut eye, with the rest nestled into a combination of front paw and tucked-in tail.

(Click to embiggen) kind of obsessed with making things look ✨shiny✨ even if I’m not that good at rendering shadow in terms of direction and light source 😅
Three doodly images each featuring a spiral comprised of round-edged shapes enclosed in a shape (from top to bottom: a square, a circle, a rectangle). The colors from top to bottom are blues, pinks, and greens/purples/greys. In each doodle the shapes are shaded and highlighted to give an impression of dimension and shininess

Do u mind
An orange cat curled up on the arm of a red couch. He is in the middle of cleaning himself but looking in the general direction of the camera with an expression that seems to say “do you mind, I’m washing myself right now.”

Did some meditative doodling today while listening to an audiobook and talking back to the narrating character about the differences between puns, double entendres, and vaguely witty wordplay (I’m entering into my “pun pedantry” era and it’s killing me that I can’t come up with a pun for that)
A sketchbook page with two rectangles filled with doodles. The one on top features a spiral of rounded shapes colored in light and dark greens and purples, shaded with white highlights. The one on the bottom is much more chaotic and blobby, featuring shades of blue, green, purple, orange, and red.

Anyway, here’s Ziggy 🧡
An orange cat stretched out with his tail curled, positioned so he is running bottom to top in the frame. He looks kinda sassy

Blue Jays, I’m almost out of yarn, so here’s the plan: shut the Dodgers out, then hit some dingers, then shut them out again. Soon this shawl will be done and my everything hurts too much to plod downstairs and grab a different project. Please just win so I can go to bed lmao

Done and done! This got me off my ass to do the thing I’d been meaning to do, gracias. 💕

Crocheting shawls to give away (and trying my hand at designing my own), hot coffee, audiobooks, and my li’l guy Ziggy:

I really liked this post and want it accessible to more people, so I am reposting the first two images with alt text 💕 (I don’t take credit for the words or putting these screenshots up originally)
A post by father Larry Dowling: I had the privilege this morning of leading a Eucharistic Procession from St. Eulalia Church in Maywood, IL to the ICE Detention Center in Broadview. We went to pray and have a few of us clergy and religious women bring Holy Communion and the love of the Christian community to the men and women detained there under inhumane conditions. Over 1,000 Catholics and other Christians marched in peaceful prayer and song, facilitated by the Maywood and Broadview Police Departments and the Illinois State Police. I cannot speak more highly of these public safety officers in providing us safe passage. Upon arrival, it was a different story. There were no ICE or Federal representatives there. When requesting to talk with a representative from Homeland Security and ICE, the State Police reached out on our behalf to make the request over the phone, After a brief wait, the answer came back very clearly: NO, YOU CANNOT BRING A HINT OF COMPASSION AND PRAYER INTO THIS PLACE! NO, YOU CANNOT OFFER ANY SOLACE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FEARFUL AND SUFFERING INSIDE! NO, YOU CANNOT BRING JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, THE LOVE OF GOD, INTO THIS PLACE! (Continuing a post by father Larry Dowling) No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ. What we have been able to do for detainees for the past several years, which is written into Illinois law, was refused by this current Federal Government. "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing." "Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing. Touch their hearts and transform them from stony hearts into fleshy, life-giving hearts." "Only through, with and in God will hearts be changed!" The battle for hearts and minds, compassion and mercy, continues... Please pray especially for the children, for the mothers and fathers who are being treated inhumanely. Please step up and speak out. Silence is supporting this abuse of these members of God's family. Peace! Fr. Larry Dowling

An excerpt from Octavia E. Butler’s 1993 book Parable of the Sower; this passage is set in 2025.
An excerpt from Octavia E. Butler’s 1993 book Parable of the Sower; this passage is set in 2025. The text reads: "It's spreading again. It was on the east coast. Now it's in Chicago. The reports say that it makes watching a fire better than sex. I don't know whether the reporters are condemning it or advertising it." I drew a deep breath. "Tornadoes are smashing hell out of Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and two or three other states. Three hundred people dead so far. And there's a blizzard freezing the northern midwest, killing even more people. In New York and New Jersey, a measles epidemic is killing people. Measles!"

Victory! Sadly the quality of the yarn has been a tad compromised by so much untangling but whatever, I’m committed now

Look, if more people had hobbies like this there might be less discourse. Can’t get upset about people on the innernets or fall into a podcast fuckboi’s cult if you’re too busy unraveling the mess you made of a project so you can make a mess of it again. Let’s get the boys into yarn crafts!

Painting the numbers turned out easier than I thought (thanks Dreamy Dice on YouTube!). Unfortunately it revealed some bubbly flaws on a few faces, but hey. This has been my best set so far! I’ll keep practicing and trying degassing techniques with the resin ☺️✨
The 11 face of a blue sparkly d12 die with the 11 painted a light gold The 3 face of a blue sparkly d12 die with the 3 painted a light gold. The 11 is also visible. The 12 is visible underneath but we won’t talk about it because it turns out yes, there were some bubbles on the surface -_-

Not only am I back on my resin bullshit but I’ve finally figured out how to work with my dice mold! Unfortunately there’s a flaw in the D20 cavity so the 16 side comes out with a bump on it 😭 guess I’m buying a new mold. But when I do I’m making color changing & glow in the dark dice all DAY

Behold! I did make a dice bag! I need to make a few more to get the construction down but I’m pretty pleased with it ☺️ (this is the second attempt, lol)
On a brown wooden tabletop, a bright yellow crocheted bag with a pink drawstring, laying on its side and open to show translucent pink gaming dice, two of which have spilled out onto the table. The bright yellow crocheted pouch, pink drawstrings cinching it closed. It sits upright in my hand.

I did the thing I was nervous about; everything is dust in the wind and love never dies so I turn it over to the clouds and let go of any outcome. And here is a Ziggy to brighten your timeline should you need orange cat energy in your life 🧡

Yeah, just don’t uhhh
Fucking use it? For anything?
You do not need this.
You absolutely do not.
The way we keep slop machines from becoming an “inevitability” is by refusing to play along.
I don’t give a fuck if a bunch of billionaires “lose money” on this. The value wasn’t theirs to profit from.

Back on my resin bullshit, this time UV cure, which means I’m making things faster than I have necklaces and keychains to put them on. This isn’t my finest work but at least all the letters are in the right direction and none of them are upside down 😅
A rectangular resin pendant in a pink to blue gradient. Round flat beads spell out “BIFURIOUS” from top to bottom. In the blank spaces around the beads are embedded silver star and moon shaped large glitter.

I think this tweet exemplifies Taylor’s descriptions of Travis as “a human exclamation point” and a “vibe booster,” and tbh it’s marvelous that she found happiness with a guy who personifies my inner monologue. Anyway don’t forget to check on your Gaylor friends, make sure they’re hydrating
A tweet by Travis Kelce posted on the 15th of April, 2011 that reads verbatim: I just gave a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy

The Unbearable Weight of Being Baby
Ziggy, an orange and white cat, curled up on a red blanket. His ears are slightly swept back. His eyes are open and he’s looking toward the right of frame, expression somewhat disgruntled. The background is a little blurry because he is the focal point.

My favorite Doctor and companion
On a white background, two red and gold thrones, one tall and one short. On the left throne sits Greg Davies in a black suit with black shirt and vest, arms resting on the… armrests. On the right throne is seated (Little) Alex Horne in a black suit with white shirt, arms crossed

Ziggy says hi! 🩷
An orange cat with a white ruff sitting upright, ears sticking nearly straight up, with his attention focused toward the bottom of frame at an off-screen arm he plans to bites. In the background his dinner plate appears to be floating just above his head like a halo.

anyway as I was yapping about this I thought “what if Marge Simpson but Peg Bundy,” and rather than run to a slop machine, I made this in Procreate (soooo many layers lol), and so fucking what if it’s bad? At least I did it myself 🤷🏻‍♀️
On a light pink background with a light blue “shadow,” a drawing of a woman with a big blue beehive hairdo and ‘80s bangs, posed so she’s about to touch her hair with one hand, propping the other on her hip. She’s wearing a pink, white, and purple dress, near floor length, cinched with a brown belt. She is wearing purple kitten heels and a pink chunky bead necklace. Her purple-shadowed eyes are closed in an expression of annoyed concentration and she has a cigarette dangling from between pursed pink lips. Her skin is banana yellow. She is Parge Bimpson. Or Meg Sundy. Take yer pick.

No cheating, post your lock screen
The date is Friday, July 25 and the time reads 11:04 in white on a warm grey background. Underneath the time is a sleeping kitty widget and a weather widget showing a temperature of 83 degrees F. An illustrated black cat , with large eyes and a small pink nose, takes up half the right side. The cat has a paw up, pink paw pads visible. Above it to the left is the word “hi.” Towards the bottom of the screen is an MLB widget showing the score outcome for tonight’s Braves vs. Rangers game, 3 to 8 (dang it)
