Me: And again, you reach for your diseased member rather than having any real reply. Keep pulling on that maggoty sausage of yours and it's likely to fall off. Good luck finding it when it crawls into the corner to escape your abuse.

Me: Ah, so you're going to drag my recently deceased mother into this, you absolute shitbag of a human garbage disposal. Thanks for letting me take the gloves off, you classist, callous piece of decades old garbage. If you actually had expressed any opinions worth hearing, someone might come to your defense, but as all you've managed is to shout far-right talking points and then out yourself as a misogynist, feel free to sodomize yourself with a rusty, steel fence post. Me: What you reply with ceased to be a concern when you decided to make yo mama jokes like a syphilitic teenage boy. Pimple: I was curious why o was having to schedule your sister for her shift these past weeks. I'll go ahead and reach out for a schedule change.

Ah, such fun. Once they've proven that they're unrepentant, misogynistic, classist penis pimples, a little recreational vulgarity is a nice way to pass the time.
Me: Wow. Way to state an obnoxious opinion with no context. Pimple: womp womp . Coffee is hard to make. I deserve union benefits. Me: And what do you do for a living? Other than troll the Internet? Pimple: I'm your mom's manager down at the Dejavu.

I heard an owl hooting outside and dhe sounded awfully close to the house. I went outside in time to see her fly into this tree, where she and another (maybe younger?) owl satn and conversed before flying off together. #owls #birds #momentofpeacr

A four panel comic referencing the Nazis taking guns away from the Jews in 1938, just before Kristallnacht and then describing current efforts in the United States Justice Department to do the same to transgender Americans. Comic by Sophie Labelle.

I'm a sucker for interesting design. The beer is tasty as well.
A tall beer can with a drawing of a black cat with green eyes and a mouthful of sharp teeth. The words on the can read, "All Cats Are Grey in the Dark".

If he keeps coming by, I'll try and get a better photo. My hands were full when I was where the light was good. I *think* he's a black chinned. I know he's the first hummingbird I've seen here since I moved here. #birds

I gots me some *curls* today. Bonus: My cats shadow across the right half of me.
My face. Grey, close trimmed beard that comes to a point. A charcoal colored vest over a faded, black, button-up shirt with the collar open. Brown, curly hair. Something almost like a smile.

A large rodent, a pika I think, with a spray of small, purple flowers held in its teeth.

Halfway point. Fifty more inches to go. #weaving #tabletweaving

Irish music is good even when I'm still tired from last week's illness.

And it begins. I have at least a month to work on this. Hopefully I can get it done in time. I'm basing the pattern on Birka 21, but leaving out the problematic bits. This will be adorning the coat being made for a friend. #tabletweaving #weaving
A Staudigel tablet loom warped with white silk, twenty-one tablets. A top view of a tablet weaving warp, white silk, twenty-one tablets. The first inch of a brocaded tablet weave based on Birka 21. White silk and kreinik metallic thread. Twenty-one tablets.

The real issue.
A black and white drawing with red accents of a chess board where all the lesser pieces are broken and bleeding while the black King and Queen sit down at a table with the white King and Queen to share wine.

I don't remember why I picked this one up, but I'm really glad I did. It's a magic school book, but the characters aren't teenagers, they're adults. And before the moment of getting a strange phone call, they weren't special in any way.
Cover of the book An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson. The cover is black with gold lettering and a line drawing of a moth with pins through each wing, also in gold.

The real question is... D'ya think maybe the artist knew what they were doing?
Cover of Psychology Today with what is supposed to be a giant smiley face in profile with a tiny person running away and the caption, "Are you too nice?" The smiley part of the smiley face looks less precisely phallic and more like a curved, black dildo with a nicely flared base. A closer view of the previous picture, highlighting the distinctly dildo shaped mouth on the giant smiley.

I'm not sure whether he's just a doofus or if he somehow thinks this is dignified.

Jesus fuck. It just keeps gettin' funnier, don't it? These guys were all destroying the economy for ordinary people with their business plans. Now they get to shit right in the middle of the drinking fountain.

He's far smarter than I sometimes give him credit for.

I love this image, but I can't find a reference to the artist. If anyone finds the artist, please link them.
A figure, presumably a child, mostly in silhouette, holding an umbrella to keep the rain, depicted in black drops off. The underside of the umbrella is a rainbow.
