Thank you for the reminder @artfuldolebludger.bsky.social
A paste-up with the slogan: “you’re never too old to punch naz!s”. It has an illustration of an elderly person serving a skinhead with an uppercut that’s lifted them bodily from the ground.

The vine says it’s autumn 🍁🍂
A vine whose leaves are wet with rain, and are a range of colours from green, through yellow, into a lovely coral red. You get the sense that they will go redder and more yellow over time.

Vic could steal anyone’s spouse and the only reasonable response would be to accept it and wish them all the best.
#dropout
A meme showing Vic Michaelis in screenshots of varying degrees of on-screen intimacy with the spouses of various dropout cast members, and the caption “hands up if Vic has ever stolen your wife”.

It’s kind of great to meet someone you admire and find them to be as excellent as you’d hoped they’d be

Canceling our family’s #duolingo membership. It wasn’t that great a learning experience anyway, and it’s only going to get worse now that it’s going fully #ai .
Glad to see we’re joined by our favourite @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and many others
A comment from Brennan Lee Mulligan (funny human, genius DM, and modern nerd’s breakfast crumpet) on the Duolingo Instagram account that reads: “Hey @duolingo just wanted you to know I threw out a 1200 day streak, unsubscribed to Duolingo plus and deleted the app based on your CEO's decision to fire your contractors and become an Al first company. Will happily be looking for a "Humans First" replacement. ¿Quizás tu CEO debería reconsiderar su estupida idea?”

“Unholy shriek”
#poetry #foundpoetry
A poem constructed (by me) from words carefully cut from old books. It’s words create a curving shape down the page and read: “When everry good thing seems to be disintegrating and even hope seems obsolete it is our solemn duty to give an unholy shriek in the face of despair and carry on working for each other” Each word is in slightly different font, on papers that have aged to various shades of ivory, beige, and brown. The cream surface they’ve been adhered to has the texture of hot pressed watercolour paper.

A paste up with large red text that reads “more of us than them!”. It’s surrounded by high contrast black and white imagery, one of which is of a protest march with people holding a banner that says “smash fascism”. At the bottom of the poster there is smaller red text says “solidarity is our weapon!”

I can’t believe Clive Palmers dog whistle party for racists doesn’t want my feedback. What kind of a democracy is this?

A fresh tattoo on Essie’s inner forearm. It is of two candy/conversation hearts, one pink, and one purple. The text on them is a quote from David Lynch: “fix ur heart or die”. They have little sparkles around them.

I am the bottom layer of a girl-pile and it is a good time.
A woman in glasses, being slept on by one giant fluffy cat and one small hairless cat in a sweater. She is looking quite pleased with her life choices.

It’s been almost two years since we were in Japan, and today we finished this:
A small box made from layers of paper that come together to form a scene from Miyazaki’s ‘Spirited Away’. Chihiro is looking up at Noface who is offering her a pile of gold, they are surrounded by by flowers, and enclosed by a frame that is in the style of the bathhouses architecture. The box shares a shelf with a miniature Lego Tokyo, and a small figurine of a grumpy cat with its arms folded which we got out of a gachapon machine.

Mail from @templedecadent.bsky.social is always so delightful. What a talented artist and excellent human. Also, my postie was very impressed that the package had come “all the way from Belgium”  #art #stickers #stamps #linoprint
A very cool Medusa Lino print in black ink on Kraft paper. It is framed by two hand carved stamps (one triple spiral, and one St Brigid’s cross), and array of colourful stickers in La Green Witch’s signature bold, playful, and witchy style. A note sent with my order that reads: “Dear Essie! Thank you for your support! I added extra powerful ladies in your order for you and/or your witch friends.”

There’s a rudeness to calling your streaming service ’Binge’ and then only releasing single episodes at a time. What am I supposed to do with this?

This guy has to be present at every family meeting. His energy is required.

A small figurine of a calico cat who is shaped in such a way as to allow him to lean casually on an item like a plate or book. His expression is one of alert interest.

I 💜 my journals
An open journal, with writing in different sizes and styles. The text is about good moments in each of my days this week. There are stickers and bits of washi tape scattered around the page as well, all in green and purple tones.
