Bosch tattoo update: 1.5 wks, I’ve honestly never had a tattoo heal this nicely. Fine line, I guess. Dang
A tattoo on Jen’s right shin - black fine line of a surreal, bulbous fountain from The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch (a painting made in the early 1500s) Mirror selfie of Jen in black bike shorts, a grey oversized t-shirt that says “be kind to animals or I’ll kill you,” and low-top Uggs. The reflection shows her new Bosch fountain tattoo on her right outer shin

Telling people to tap their cards “below the tiny hat” is killin me
A countertop credit card reader at a shop. The card reader is wearing a small Santa hat. The label affixed to the upper left of the card reader’s screen that directs people to “TAP HERE” is also, itself, wearing an even smaller Santa hat

Good news(?) for all you non-Nightmare-Before-Christmas minimalist goths: the mouse empire sells totally plain black leather ears so you too can participate in the “pick your ears” tradition

(Yes I am on vacation)
Mirror selfie from Jen’s hotel room. She’s sporting black platform docs, cuffed black jeans, a long black linen shirt, a grey bob, and a black leather Mickey Mouse ears headband

My inner contrarian planned ahead for charges like this, which is why I used rare earth magnets on the backs of my googly eyes. OH? Are you MAD I made your dumb thing BETTER? JUST TAKE THEM OFF, THEN
A gray dryer vent on a gray brick wall with two large googly eyes stuck to the metal at the top. The effect is a kind of... large-mouthed... creature? Like a wall-catfish, maybe?

Norman has not smiled a day in his life, and that’s because humans took wolves and taught them to want a job

A screen shot of a conversation thread about the trial of the DC sandwich-thrower: Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social Lairmore testifies that other agents gave him a plush sandwich toy, which he placed on the shelf in his office, and a patch that said "Felony Footlong," which he put on his lunch box. Lairmore has chuckled with the rest of us at times. Defense really trying to underscore the unseriousness of it all Micah @rincewind.run never have I wished for cameras in a courtroom more Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.... I'll accept a courtroom sketch. Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsk... The whole thing's a courtroom sketch

CRAFT TRIUMPH: after three years I finally figured out how to get my biblically accurate angel wings to magnetize reliably

(Tom made me a small metal plate that fits on the inside of the back laces of the stay - the wings themselves have four built-in rare earth magnets in the center)

IRL, this is no longer on display at the DAM and I miss it. Also, I probably COULD finish writing that speech but now I don't gotta www.denverartmuseum.org/en/edu/objec...
Fox Games (1989) by Sandy Skoglund, installation photo from the Denver Art Museum's information page on this piece. A matte red room with matte red chairs, tables, place settings, and chandelier set up to look like a restaurant. Life-size matte gray and red foxes are frozen in time, romping through the room. They're causing absolute chaos. They're chasing each other, knocking stuff over, curiously messing with the table settings. In the installation, you get to walk on a path through the whole thing. It's cool as fuck

Ngl it's been a trip drafting the item copy for The Time We Have. Recreational sadness is available today directly from @moreblueberries.bsky.social or grab it from Knave of Cups in the next drop (November)
A screen shot from The Time We Have's draft item copy on the Knave of Cups website. It reads "The Time We Have is a bittersweet, card-based duet set during a zombie apocalypse. It’s an introspective horror game in which two brothers confront mortality from opposite sides of a closed door. It is also a brilliant exercise in feeling your feelings. Oh yes, this game is sad. Sad and tragic and beautiful, this game is for anyone who wants to experience crushing heartbreak for fun. You know. Recreational… crushing heartbreak."

We did a late-night visit to the pumpkin patch. He found a sock in there. Then he ate some corn because he has poor impulse control
Tom sitting, covered to his waist, in a pit of loose corn kernels. His head his tipped back - he is about to catch a piece of corn in his mouth. Children have been playing in this corn all day. The whole story here is gross

Timeline cleanse:

monthly flowers, feat. hairy milkweed balls (real thing), a land urchin, some cool dahlias, and various grasses

#bloomscrolling
Bouquet with snapdragons, little yellow button daisies, carnations, two burgundy dahlias, a thing that looks like a sea urchin but with a stem, a bunch of decorative grasses, and some milkweed with puffy lantern-looking balls (the biggest is the size of a golf ball) Closeup on a hairy milkweed ball (which is, as my spouse says, “hangin one out for fun”)

It’s the cat’s 18th birthday
A brown tabby (in focus) looks longingly at a tiny cake (out of focus) made of jiggly pate cat food accented with dry cat food with a freeze dried minnow stuck to the front. A little candle depicts a striped cartoon cat wearing a party hat Two cats (out of focus) with a little cat “cake” in the foreground (in focus). The cake is a jiggly can of pate accented with dry cat food with a tiny freeze dried minnow stuck to the front. Theres a candle (unlit) of a little cartoon cat wearing a party cat Malcom (a brown tabby) leans down and eats his cake (the pate puck is half gone but you can still tell it was accented with dry cat food and the little minnow stuck to the front is facing the camera)

Timeline cleanse: here are some things I inherited from my parents
A bunch of extremely Muppet-like plush fruits and veggies. A smiling squash with a scarf and a wool muff to keep its hands warm. A smiling banana inside a peel with a zipper to close it. A smiling tomato. A pod of peas, unzipped to show the top two peas (also smiling)

Mine is from the Denver Art Museum gift shop, the person who made her has an installation there but also one in Meow Wolf
Little knit eyeball flower hanging on the wall in the corner of a room with green walls covered in different art (Risograph prints, painted wood, canvas, photos) A knit multicolored monster, looks kinda like a pink bird trash can with teeth The knit eyeball room in Meow Wolf, long multicolored tubes of varying widths, lengths, and colors hang from the ceiling and most of them terminate in an eyeball looking down at you

I had to dig out the screen shot I dropped into a DM like a month ago

OH FUCK OFF CHAMPION WINDOWS
A screen shot of a Champion Windows commercial on PlutoTV. Generic-looking AI cartoon guys stand in front of their generic-looking AI houses with an AI window rep talking about windows from, presumably, an AI-generated script. WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE? NOTHING. NOTHING IS REAL AND IT'S TERRIBLE

Everything might be terrible but sometimes the sky looks like this
The sky above a row of old brick buildings, magical cotton candy pink and lavender with layers overlapping, little floating puffs, and wisps of rain
