Ok this is brilliant

I’m setting up a personal Adobe Illustrator account. It comes with Express, which has an option in beta to ID a brand based on an upload

I uploaded the first image. The app scanned my photos and gave me the second collection back
A logo: “Atkinson Davenport” in shades of purple and wheat, framed in half circles. Five screenshots: “The intoxicated subject was a raccoon”; Sad Batman listening to someone say “As if any of us could be at all satisfied with a life that was anything but utterly obscene and insane”; Pedro Pascal wearing a T-shirt that says “Protect The Dolls”; Agent Cooper in the Red Room saying “Where am I, and how can I leave?”; the Atkinson Davenport logo from earlier.

Next time I’ll just buy the dang pre-made wreath instead of wrestling for a couple hours. (The bow made from a strip of my own handspun is nice though)

One of my favorite ornaments. Made by me a few years back.
A white polymer clay ornament in the shape of the state of Virginia with “oh Shenandoah” stamped on it.

It’s an Advent miracle. (I don’t know that I’ve ever had a “real” full-size tree, let alone on Advent 1.)

Coal of Fire is out now from Past-Itch Press! Get your weird little trans collection of poems, essays, and translations today!
Holy/Ghosted In the oeuvre of the body In the wadi and the valley In the shabby-shadowed study In the bread bitten and bloody In absence. in empty temples void of aught but quiet stone in the selves who are a stranger in the germinating loam As an itch upon the tongue Scalpeling some sad messiah Stripping stringent word from word Sly small speeching reaching heard

Of all the remarkable objects and people at the Boston Antiquarian Book Fair this weekend, the delightful taxonomy of Garrett Scott’s ephemera bin was the only thing I took a picture of.
A set of file dividers with labels hand written on blue tape. Visible are “eccentric,” “catholic/anti-,” and “prophetic lit”

Forgot to post my Giles costume, which I was pleased with both as a costume and an outfit I simply want to wear

Couple of enby-ass pumpkins from @theomagica.bsky.social and me
Two large round pumpkins with lit candles in them and simple geometric faces carved into them. One has a grumpy face with triangular eyes, the other an expression of wide-eyed, vacant happiness.

You can always tell when clergy are on social media because someone told them it was the way to Connect With the Youth and when they’re here for the love of the game

More than one way to stage a glowup
Pre-transition Atkinson and a church friend, selfie from the mid 20teens. Atkinson is a tall brunette smiling widely with anxious eyes, wearing a mid-necked dress, a string of pearls, and a full face of makeup. The looks great though: ringlets past the shoulders. Atkinson with equally great but much shorter hair, in a wide pompadour/mohawk haircut. He has more lines on his face and a lot of grey but his affect is relaxed and comfortable. It’s wearing a T4T Readings tshirt cut into a cropped tank top. Shameless thirst trap.
