look at those faces. they don’t know about fascism

(couple of crochet animals requested by kids)
photo of two small crochet animals. one is a blue triceratops with three white horns, and the other is a purple octopus with pink tentacles. both have innocent, vacant little black eyes that have never known sorrow

this one's called "Stage Fright," I made it for my opera singer friend
2x2" acrylic painting of a possum playing dead on a stage with red curtains and a microphone. the possum's feet are dramatically up in the air, its eyes are x-es, and its tongue is out. in the foreground, three possum audience members seem concerned

I like to think they are saying, "bye! thanks for coming"
the two Polly Pockets outside their Lego dollhouse, arms raised as if waving farewell to the viewer. the front of the dollhouse has brown stairs flanked by flowers and two tall black outdoor lamps

the "gold flower vase" on the bedstand is actually a spare One Ring I got with my Gollum and Bilbo Lego set

I really like how the stove turned out, too

the telescope is also adjustable at two different points
closeup of the dollhouse bedroom, the walls of which are purple at the bottom, changing to blue, and then green. the big dark green bed has four posts, and the blanket is made of square tiles, mimicking a quilt. on the bedstand is a shiny gold vase containing a large pink flower. next to this is a gold wall lamp closeup of the Lego dollhouse kitchen, showing the grey stove. a black skillet and pot are on the eyes. there is a grey fridge with items on top, as well as a white counter and wall-mounted microwave above it. a sink is in front of the window. the dinner chairs are brown and white. on the table is a white vase with a red flower closeup of the roof garden. the angle puts the viewer in the perspective of looking through the telescope. one large yellow flower is in focus in the foreground, but the rest of the garden is a blurry background

and each section of the dollhouse is detachable to make for easier play! the shower door opens, too!

here is a shot of them in their kitchen that I call "Marriage Story (2019)"
a top-down shot showing the colorful Lego dollhouse with its stories broken down into three parts closeup of the dollhouse bathroom, showing a Polly Pocket standing in the partially-open shower door dramatically vibrant closeup of the Polly Pocket couple in the kitchen. one is blurry in the foreground, her back turned to her wife, who is reaching out one hand, as if to say, “please don’t go, maybe we can salvage this”

when I was a kid I would carve my Polly Pockets furniture— armchairs, canopy beds, bathtubs— out of cheap bar soap instead of buying accessories from the store

as an adult I realized... wait I have a massive Lego collection now
Lego microbuild of a dollhouse for 90s vintage Polly Pockets. the house is two stories with four colorful, uniformly sized rooms: a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. at the stairs leading into the house stand two Polly Pockets closeup of the dollhouse’s first story. the living room walls are turquoise and feature yellow lamps and a painting of the beach. the furniture consists of a matching red armchair and couch and a blue coffee table. the Polly Pockets are sitting down to chat. the adjoining kitchen is many shades of yellow. it contains a table and chairs, a stove, a fridge, a counter, and a sink under a window that is framed with decorative cherries closeup of the dollhouse’s second story. the bedroom is all cool shades, with a shimmering purple floor. the Polly Pockets lie in a large green bed. a portrait of a black cat’s face with stars hangs above them. other furnishings include a matching green chest and a bedstand, which has a vase of flowers on top. the bathroom is cool blue and contains a shower with a blue “glass” door, a white toilet, and a sink. it has a line of blue windows near the ceiling and it’s decorated with pink and yellow accessories closeup of the dollhouse’s red and green roof, which features a garden. amidst a tangle of yellow and pink flowers is an artificial pond and a telescope, where one of the Polly Pockets is star-gazing. the other Polly Pocket watches over the scene from a blue bench in the background

“my deranged relationship with my own body” really hit me

so many times I try to tell my body what to do and it simply doesn’t listen— even now, trying to type this, it’s like my fingers consider my brain’s commands as “loose suggestions”

#ListenToNonspeakers
To the Editor: I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body. I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate. For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema. Jason Jacoby Lee New York

maybe I can’t save the world, but I can paint a skateboarding protest possum
6”x6” acrylic painting of a possum skateboarding in front of a grimy city building. partially-obscured graffiti reads, “UCK ICE.” the possum has an angry frown. one pink hand clutches a Mexican flag, and the other flips a bird. his skateboard is decorated with a flaming skull. a newspaper scrap sign on the building advertises “the best spaghetti in town”

these wooly aphids are so cool

they remind me of how you look at a snowflake from a distance and it's just a little white poof, but when you get closer you see all the details

I went to see Good Boy today, and since the theatre was mostly empty, you know what seat I picked...

kudzu bug on my screen door

I always thought "stink bug" was a rude name; I'm one of those lucky people who just smells cilantro instead of an actual "stink"

the world is burning but all I can think about is this very small cat because she got out and I cannot find her anywhere

if you have a moment, spare a good thought for my Katarina

the only cat I've ever met who sincerely loves belly rubs as much as a dog does— and it's never a trap! unbelievable!

my aunt wrote me

this is exactly how folks talk about estranged parents in news articles— but if a parent knowingly funnels children to a predator, how are the victims in a position to offer "mercy"?

when did I ever have any power over my mother? if I'd had power over her, I would have stopped her
Your mom is having surgery tomorrow at [redacted] to remove the remaining breast cancer under her arm and also to remove her gallbladder and a small section of her liver. They are concerned it has spread. She is going under general anesthesia. This is high risk for her. Please hold her in the Light. If things go wrong and she wants to see you, are you willing to show mercy and see her? She will be too weak to argue at that point. Or to apologize

does it count as celebrating violence if it's in Middle-earth?

am I allowed to feel that almost-sexual-gratification when I watch Saruman get stabbed by his own henchman? surely that doesn't have any real-life parallels right

my ancestors looking down on JD Vance with Appalachian disapproval

(actually, the little girl in front— Cousin Dossie— is alive and well... and she hates JD Vance just as much as she hates sugar in her cornbread)
sepia photo of a white Appalachian family, six women/girls of various ages, and one man. the women mostly look stoic and have their arms crossed. their whole vibe is "not having it"

here are some artsy shots of the build that got the plaque

it is called "Up, Up, and Away"
Lego microbuild of a nighttime landscape with water and bridges. a sailboat floats down the river; a train chugs along one of the bridges, emitting a white cloud of smoke; a car darts over the second bridge, and a rocket blasts across the sky. all vehicles are red and white, which makes them stand out against the lush background of green, blue, and black, and all vehicles are travelling from right to left across the build. a silvery moon hangs in the sky another shot, angled from the bottom to suggest a sense of movement and scale, with the ship blurry in the foreground. the water is composed of flat transparent blue tiles in the shapes of squares, rectangles, and circles photo of the build from a downward angle that gives a better view of the shrubbery and trees dotting the landscape. from this angle, one can see silvery blue tiles that suggest the moon's reflection on the water

I got the show-wide artisan award in the county fair's Lego competition! I also got third and fourth place ribbons! my ribbon collection is ever-expanding!
K's winning Lego builds sit on a table, sporting ribbons and specialty Lego pieces that say "TN VALLEY FAIR 2025." next to the microbuild depicting different forms of travel is a large wooden plaque that reads "Artisan Award 2025 Lego Build." in the background is K's microbuild depicting adventurous ocean scenes from literature K, a middle-aged white femme with glasses, points excitedly at their Lego builds and awards. K is wearing a black KN95 mask and a shirt with a Care Bear that says "emotionally exhausted."

the first time I was homeless, my mother found my stepfather's stash of CSAM and then kicked ME out instead of him. I was 18

the second time, I was working overtime as a supervisor at Kroger, up until two days before I had my baby— it still wasn't enough

what I mean is: fuck you Adam
Adam Kutzer, a 22-year-old living in Cranford, New Jersey, said not paying off credit card debt or spending too much money were examples of “poor financial choices that can clearly be avoided.”

I want you to say it. what are you hoping to do, exactly
two-panel goose meme 1. the goose narrows its eyes in suspicion and says "why do you wanna find out what causes autism" 2. the goose aggressively chases after a man, saying "what are you gonna do when you find the cause"
