Image attached here, with the caption:

Let’s not forgot the three children murdered today as well.

As for Kirk, "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
Image of text that says: C——— K—- was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country. Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate. I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that. In this situation, my empathy is reserved for his children. May they grow up to live in a country that is the total opposite of everything their father envisioned. May (highlighted in red) all of our children grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously and reject any person who would try to justify senseless gun-related deaths - especially the deaths of children.

Snerl
A photo zoomed in on a brown snail with a glossy, spiraled shell crawling across a rough concrete surface, its eyestalks extended forward in the sunlight. What a hot snerlfriend.

I made a THING & have more things I gotta make

Cover for a reusable sticker book, playing off of making it like a book of shadows lol
A dark purple book cover design with “Book of Stickers” in ornate white gothic lettering. The design includes a white star at the top, an eye with rippling circles for the iris and crescent moon in the lower center, stars dotted through the space, and symmetrical leafy branches with decorative corner flourishes, giving the book a mystical, vintage feel. It’s a design for a reusable sticker book :D

FREYA SAYS HELLO!

Drink some water. Your butt looks nice. There’s probably one thing you can be grateful for, think of it and hold on to that.

Like a kitty cuddling against you at night.
A close-up photo of a sleek black cat with striking yellow eyes, my gorgeous Freya-baby, wearing a light lavender collar with a dangling iridescent star charm and a blue paw-print tag. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm and curious expression. Ornate black detailing from a mirror frame can be seen in the background, along with a faint reflection of a me taking the photo.

Jack says heyyyy
A close-up of a white and ginger-grey tabby cat named Jack, lying on reddish-brown dirt after a dirt bath. His bright green-yellow eyes are wide and curious, and his pink nose stands out against his white face. His fur is slightly dusty from the dirt, and he wears a teal collar with a tag

Happy things
Jack and Freya sit by the window, both intently staring outside as if watching something important unfold. Jack, on the left, is a white and tabby cat perched on a plush gray window bed, one paw resting on the edge as if he’s leaning in for a better view. Freya, on the right, is a sleek black cat sitting on a multi-level cat tree, her head tilted slightly as her green eyes lock onto the same point of interest. A small yellow ball attached to the cat tree sticks out behind her, adding an amusing touch, like a little antenna. The outdoor scene is muted—brown leaves cover the ground, and the overcast light gives everything a soft, cool tone. It’s the perfect kind of moment where you wish you could see whatever it is they’re so fascinated by. large mug of hot chocolate sits on my desk, nestled in front of my keyboard and speakers. It’s an Ouija mug from Spirit, the biggest ceramic mug I own—thus, the blessed vessel for my molten chocolate delights. Moons and stars shimmer in lustrous gold against its black surface. Right now, it’s FILLED with a TOWER of whipped cream. I love having whipped cream on hand to plop into my hot chocolate; it makes the whole experience feel even more special and fun.

It’s just Facebook, I should just block and move on but this just pissed me off in particular. I framed my response to him essentially what I posted here but WOOF. How fucking dense and ignorant do you have to be? An absolute fucking choice.
Screenshot of a comment on Facebook. I didn’t blur out the guy’s name but I won’t type it for some level of respect I guess?? But anyway, the comment says: “sure, once again fear the concept of something and not the actual reality that never materializes, of your wild hair assumptions of governmental collapse. one guy in a dept of many got cut, but a total collapse of our state park system is eminent? Ok got it. You and many like you live in a state of dread and misery, crafting alternate concepts, only in the mind, of low probable wild thoughts and absolutely losing your minds. over a firing, because of his dept bosses view (not trumps) of what/who needed to be cut to sustain budget. happens more than you think, as government operations are budget driven and audited to show sustainability to continue to receive the budget amount.”

idk what to do except write stuff lol cuteasheckate.substack.com/p/individual...
An orange and white text image with the title: Individualism, Spirituality, and the Threat of Trump Subtitle: A Call to Connection A preview of the writing shows: I have been reflecting on individualism lately—specifically the kind of individualism deeply ingrained in American culture. While the concepts of freedom and self-reliance seem noble, the reality often leads to isolation, disconnection, and a profound... cuteasheckate.substack.com

Timeline cleanse again bc WOOF ITS A ROUGH 2025 Y’ALL
A tabby and white cat, Jack, with large, expressive eyes like a dingdang Disney princess lounges in a soft, gray, cushioned window bed. His ears are perked, and he gazes directly at the camera with curiosity. Sunlight streams through the window behind him, casting a warm glow on his fur. He’s relaxed and handsome, with the cutest pink nose. A sleek black cat, my perfect baby daughter Freya, with striking golden eyes lies in the grass, basking in the sunlight. She wears a soft gray sweater and a collar with a round tag and a rainbow-colored star and keyring. Her gaze is focused intently on something in the distance, and the sun highlights the subtle variations in her dark fur. The dry grass around her contrasts with her smooth, glossy coat.

These encompass my feels
A drawing by Matt Tarpley of a round, green, grumpy frog with a white coffee mug on a brown floor and yellow background. He is so grumpy, like >:C Louise and Bob of Bob’s Burgers standing in a stairwell. Louise is on the left in her classic pink bunny ears and green dress, her back to us, at the top of the stairs,looking at Bob while he struggles to catch his breath, panting out, “it’s been a rough year” A tumblr post that says “I know you’re tired bitch but keep fucking going” and a picture of Bob from Bob’s Burgers putting on a jacket saying “okay, fine. But I’m gonna complain the whole time.”

A close-up photo of a tabby and white cat with large, expressive yellow-green eyes and a pink nose. The cat is looking attentively at the camera. In the background, there is a white plastic storage bin filled with toys.

Here is my cat fax for being so political in my retweets #cattax
A close-up photo of a black cat, Freya, with bright yellow-green eyes, wearing a red shirt. She is looking up at the camera with an alert expression. The background is slightly blurred, showing a brown floor and part of a black chair leg.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at least I’m making some kind of art
A design in progress featuring the phrase “Fuck Fascists” written in a bold, decorative script inspired by historical Declaration of Independence lettering. The text is bright pink with a white outline and set against a gradient blue background, mimicking Barbie colors. The design is being edited in Adobe Photoshop, with visible interface elements.

I met a sign.
A bright yellow restaurant sign with bold red text that says, “STOP WASH YOUR HANDS.” Below, an illustration of a sink looks suspiciously like a face with two blank eyes and a purse lipped mouth, comically blank or dumbfounded, flanked by icons of the soap dispenser and paper towels nearby. Close up of the sink illustration on the hand-washing sign. The faucet nose, screw-hole eyes, and the drain for the mouth form a goofy face, blank and dumbfounded. This sink seems like it has witnessed a LOT. I must recreate the expression. It’s meee, with vibrant hair and iridescent rainbow cat eye glasses, taking a selfie. I’m posed in front of a tiled wall, dramatically pursing my lips and widening my eyes to mimic the goofy sink face from the sign.

LOOK at my ADOPTED SON
This is Whiskey Dog, a charming pit mix showing off his adorable toothy grin :B! He’s all decked out for the holidays in a festive sweater featuring a winter penguin and a bright red knit hat lovingly gifted by his grandma. Lounging on his dog bed, he radiates cozy holiday vibes with his delightful expression!

It’ll be very exciting when Bluesky allows longer than 60 seconds but last night I performed with a live band for the first time. You can very tell it’s for the first time lol but I sang Toxic, the Postmodern Jukebox cover, and challenged myself with something scary. Look at me trying new things!

In college, I did a Byzantine style painting of “Gamer Jesus” and sometimes I wanna redo it bc that was a silly and great idea.
A Byzantine-style painting titled ‘Gamer Jesus,’ featuring a figure resembling traditional Byzantine depictions of Jesus, characterized by flat, stylized features. A square monitor frames the head, as though he is peering out from inside a television toward the audience. The figure is set against a golden background typical of Byzantine art. One hand rests on a vintage gaming joystick, fingers raised in a gesture of blessing, while the other delicately touches buttons on a control panel. A cable loops around the monitor and head, forming a technological halo that completes the composition. The artwork merges religious iconography with retro gaming aesthetics, presenting a creative and humorous juxtaposition.

Here’s #ghostface (my favorite) and #jasonvoorhees too. Ghostface wasn’t from this series, if it’s not obvious, but he fits in.
A playful and humorous digital illustration of Ghostface from Scream. He is framed within a pastel purple heart, holding the red receiver and twisting the red cord of a vintage Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone in his fingers. The toy phone, depicted with its signature wide, silly grin, bright blue wheels, and cartoonish eyes, adds a whimsical touch to the piece. The background features a repeating pattern of knives, hearts, and diamonds, blending the humorous and sinister elements of Ghostface’s character. A vivid digital painting of Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, framed by a coffin-shaped background. He wields a large machete dripping with stylized blood that glows in vibrant, eerie hues. Dark peonies frame the composition, and the scene is set against a misty, moonlit lake surrounded by trees. Below, a “Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake” sign enhances the foreboding atmosphere of the piece.

Last year?? Or 2022, I made a series of ‘80s #horror boyfriends. It was fun #painting #Pennywise because of the lighting, and I really enjoyed the colors for #Chucky and #MikeMyers. #FreddyKrueger is probably the coolest posed tho
A dramatic digital portrait of Pennywise from It, encased within a coffin-shaped frame. His wild expression and vivid makeup are accentuated by sharp, glowing lighting. Three red balloons float in front of him, while a stormy background looms ominously behind. Below, a paper boat labeled “SS Georgie” rests among a bed of sunflowers, blending whimsy and dread. Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street leans forward from his coffin frame with a wicked smile, his clawed hand reaching out. His striped sweater and glowing skin radiate neon hues, while his hat partially covers his eyes, adding an air of mystery. The scene is framed by flowers and the iconic Elm Street sign beneath him. A digital portrait of Michael Myers from Halloween, set in a coffin-shaped frame, illuminated with vivid, iridescent hues that contrast with his blank, expressionless mask. He holds a knife with a menacing grip, surrounded by dark blossoms and a pumpkin with a carved, sinister grin. A vibrant digital painting of Chucky, the iconic ‘Good Guys’ doll, featuring a neon rainbow glow accentuating his stitched face and sly expression. He grips a dripping axe, surrounded by lilacs and gardenias, symbolizing childlike playfulness and innocence, creating a sharp contrast to his sinister demeanor. Good Guys in the iconic font and de-saturated color hovers above him, all in and against a coffin-shaped background

Here’re my creepmas pieces from last year! I miss making goofy jack-o-lanterns oblivious to the flirting lolol
A brown bat hangs upside down from a sprig of mistletoe adorned with red berries and a large red bow. The bat gazes forward, precariously clutching the sprig with its feet and wings A spooky yet festive Christmas tree topped with a purple coffin with a pentacle, crossed candy canes with purple stripes sits at the bottom of the coffin, and the crown of the tree is flanked by bat-like wings. The tree is decorated with purple and orange ornaments and surrounded by 3 cheerful jack-o’-lanterns wearing Santa hats alongside two small skulls. One skull gazes up at the left most pumpkin, hearts in its eye sockets, in love with the oblivious but happy pumpkin

I have the most 80s blankets made by my grandmother way back when
Close-up of two crocheted blankets with retro designs and warm tones. The blanket on the left features a granny square pattern in brown, orange, and yellow, while the one on the right showcases a zigzag or chevron pattern in shades of pink, orange, brown, yellow, and cream. A burgundy pillow rests on top, enhancing the nostalgic, 1980s aesthetic of the arrangement.

I think I’m very funny.

We’re decorating the Christmas tree. From the bubble wrap emerged our major award…
A broken ornament depicting the iconic leg lamp from A Christmas Story. The ornament is split into two pieces: the lamp’s shade with a portion of the fishnet-clad leg, and the heeled foot attached to the base labeled “It’s a Major Award!” with a cartoon of Ralphie’s face. The break humorously mirrors the lamp’s fate in the movie, adding an ironic layer to the mishap.
