Think I would have let some pair of wings catch me,
bury me under the weight of the sky?

Me, making a stuffie:

1. What am I going to do with all these scraps?
2. Oh, I can use them for some of the stuffing! No one will ever know.
3. ... OMG, is this why the human body is so fucked up?!?
Red felt scraps lying on a mousepad in the shape and style of a Persian carpet, patterned in red, black, and cream with cream fringe.

Wore my @mayakern.com Sewing Kit/Butter Cookies skirt to the top of the Arch in St. Louis on Sunday and was complimented on my 'Miss Frizzle vibes', which is only not in my top 10 weekend highlights bc I was seeing my bestest friends. Here's my view from the top.
Photo taken through the window on the north leg and west side of the Arch in Gateway National Park in St. Louis, MO. The circular impression of the entrance can be seen at center with the shadow of the Arch itself just touching the edge at about 5 o'clock and moving off the bottom of the photo. There is a green grassy strip leading to a big white building at the top of the photo. This is, I think, the Old Courthouse building. The top half of the photo shows city buildings and streets, while the rest of the bottom half is trees, grass, and walking paths.

I think these strawberries are rotten. They've gone all fuzzy and keep biting me.
An orange tabby cat lying in an otherwise empty packing box for strawberries. His head is hanging over the edge, and his ears are lit up by a sunbeam. He is looking off to the left beyond the range of the camera. The background is blurred.

Send help. Cat has stolen my @mayakern.com cathedral skirt, and I haven't even had a chance to WEAR it yet. This is the second time, already rescued it once.
A black cat, eyes closed against the flash, lying atop a canvas purse and a not-yet-worn cathedral skirt by Maya Kern. The skirt consist of art of colorful stained glass panels on a black background. Dominate colors are blue, purple, red and pink. The cat appears very comfortable.

I had to hold dinner tonight to write an angry email. If you followed me for #inkvent, I hope you'll think about sending your own.
A screenshot of Ferris Wheel Press' announcement that they have an upcoming Kickstarter for a 'Harry Potter Houses of Hogwarts Collection'. The image is a red jar of ink with a gold lion on the lid and a ruby red fountain pen with gold accents. The campaign was announced today, launches soon, and has 950 followers already. A letter to support@ferriswheelpress.zohodesk.com with the subject line "Hogwarts? Really?" and the following text. "Hello, I'm writing to express my profound disappointment that Ferris Wheel Press has an upcoming Hogwarts collection. I use my Bijou pen as an everyday carry, and your Sugar & Spite ink is my signature color. I backed your Lord of the Rings Kickstarter and was looking forward to my rewards. I hope you can understand how disappointed I am to be writing this note. JK Rowling has stated clearly that any support for her work is express support for her intolerant and hateful views. Her efforts toward the total exclusion and ostracism of people who don't fit a fictional gender binary are an insult to my transgender friends and to the efforts of feminism as a whole. I will not be reduced to the contents of my pants, especially not by someone with such objectionable moral character as Joanne Rowling. That rhetoric wasn't acceptable in 1950, and it's not acceptable now. I will be deleting my account on your site and discontinuing any further purchases of your product until or unless this project is canceled. If this is the kind of hatefulness that Ferris Wheel Press supports, then I'm afraid that I can no longer support you. Wishing you better collaborations in the future", at this point the signature is cut off for privacy reasons.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?
Alexander Skarsgård in "Murderbot," now streaming on Apple TV+. I am either all good or really, really screwed depending on whether SecUnit likes me and/or has new media available.

A white needle felted cockatiel. The bird is sitting in an open palm with felting needles in the background. He is white with a yellow head, dark pink cheeks, and a yellow crest of "feathers" sticking up from the top of his head. Made of wool.

This person said it better than me, but I'm still sticking with my version.
A screenshot from an account called underthedesknews. It reads as follows. About half Trumps Exec Orders are Kayfabe - I know a Vince McMahon production when I see one. Exec orders are *wishes* and often need actual laws to be written and passed by 2/3 congress to be enacted for thi gs like, ending Medicare negotiations. DO NOT SUBMIT IN ADVANCE". Following that is a screenshot of the definition of kayfabe, which reads as "(in professional wrestling) the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic." There are further elements in the screenshot that aren't relevant to this description. Following the definition, the text (from a user whose username was cut off), "Executive orders do not change the Constitution or laws passed in Congress. Push back. Use your voice. Stay engaged. DO NOT SUBMIT IN ADVANCE. There are more of us than them."

Well, that's one at least, so of course, I have to start with my little snuggle buddy. This is Verin, named for the WoT character because while well intentioned, he also makes reckless choices that endanger his life. #cat
A buff/orange tabby cat curled in a gray fabric covered chair. His right paw is curled around his eyes and nose, in a posture that definitely screams, "Leave me alone. I'm sleeping." Also, that's my chair. 😐

I got new swatch cards! And a new ink...and a new fountain pen...and puffy unicorn stickers...
A Wearingeul Smile Cat ink swatch card. Text on the right half of the card reads Ferris Wheel Press Moonbeam Meadows along with some flourishes. The left half of the card is an ink swatch of blue-purple ink. There is a Cheshire cat-like smile in white where the ink didn't soak in. This is a feature of the card. There is a hint of green shimmer from the ink that can be seen in the text, particularly the f in ferris.

A black cat sitting on a tan carpet. There is a blurry blue ribbon moving through the top third of the photo. The cat has one paw up to catch the ribbon, her mouth open and teeth showing. Her face is also blurred but looks cross-eyed and incredibly undignified. In fact, were she capable of hiring a lawyer, I would probably be getting sued.

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline. (Alt text doesn't count.)
An orange tabby lying on a green cutting mat, eyes slitted, and mouth half open, chin pointed toward the upper left. His name is Verin, and, given his face and the tub of catnip in the left foreground, he is obviously three sheets to the kitty wind. There is a stack of five embroidery rings in the right foregeound.

Final Diamine #Inkvent! Day 25 is Good Tidings and says it's extreme sheen. I only see a deep purple that's nearly black, though. Looking forward to other swatches, as I dont have time to play today.

Oh, i want to be trendy, too.

"You'll be visited by three spirits..."

The spirits:
A screencap of Looney Tunes featuring (from L to R) Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck. They are standing in a forest, beneath a tree with a yellow sign reading IT'S RABBIT SEASON in red letters. They are clearly arguing, as Elmer has thrown his hands into the air and is yelling. Daffy is gesturing with one hand toward something out of frame.

Verin got lost (again) on the way to this thread, but he is very sorry for the loss of an orange cousin.

Diamine #Inkvent day 20. Potpourri is a lavendar standard shade. I can't figure out the bleeding I'm getting. I doubt it's the ink, but I'm not sure if it's pen, paper, or weather.

Diamine #Inkvent day 19 is called Fall Cocktail. My nose can't quite identify it but does agree that fall cocktail makes sense. Ink is a bright pumpkin orange that sheens to brown.
