Am I making and selling crafts while I'm at work? Doesn't sound like me.
14 charm keychains with different colored flamingos and an affirming tag. I made 15, I now have 13 for the craft fair.

Notice on the USDA food nutrition services site...
"Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 1. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.

Not perfect, but the spirit is there. Bought this from a pumpkin farmer on a gravel road for $2. Yeah, baby.
A naturally white pumpkin with a black painted face evocative of Jack Skellington dries on the kitchen table.

I have bangs and yarn ribbons, brother has bowl cut, and nobody has sunscreen.
Blonde boy with bowl cut looks at crying baby with consternation. Brunette girl with bangs and pigtails held by yarn ribbons holds the baby and looks unphased. Sunscreen was not a thing. Crying baby grips girl's thumb and is unimpressed with the world thus far.

Oh, hello, FB memory...
A Facebook post written by me on September 19, 2015 says, "The Trump campaign continues to deny the des moines register press credentials to trump events. Hmm, the campaign better be careful, or they'll make Donald Trump seem like a petty, immature little dictator."

Lest anyone think I'm off my bullshit...
One mug I made has "Spooky Season" with bats. The other has "Spice Girl" with a pumpkin. A mug I made with a bubbling cauldron: "Not every witch lives in Salem." Two colorful mugs I made. One has the two-finger peace sign in tie-dye, with the word "peace." The other has flowers and hopes you'll "have the day you deserve." "Do what makes you happy," "but first, coffee because adulting is stupid."

A white family poses before a "Fuck Biden" flag with their middle fingers up. Scantily clad women with "Let's Go Brandon" on their backsides hold the flag while also displaying middle fingers.

Just going to tap the sign:
Politics is not marriage. You don't have to love the candidate you vote for. Politics is public transportation. Choose the candidate who gets you the closest to where you want to go. If you dont vote, you allow those who do vote to choose where we are going.

Medically approved:
"My Nurse" is holding a very small child by the arms in what is, at best, an uncomfortable position.

Trump's lockscreen is a picture of himself.

Here's mine:

Stopped for gas before work, after his Big Dumb Bill was passed. Wanted to cry. America has never lived up to her potential, and now it seems less and less likely she ever will.

As I drove to work, there were protesters on the bridges of the interstate. He was in town today, you know.
The US flag waves in the breeze with blue skies and cotton clouds.

An outline of Iowa with the query, "Is this heaven?" Answered with, "No, but we all are going to die."

I was going to make this my avatar, but then I'd have to look at this bitch every time I log in.

Feeling colorful this week...
Plain white mug with rainbow hearts and text that says, "love always trumps hate." Mountains and trees in various colors say, "adventure calls and I shall answer" on a white mug. Rainbow tie-dye background and black text: "stay weird" faded on a white mug.

And finally (for tonight)
1/3 a mountain, forest, and lake scene in shades of maroon and yellow wraps around a coffee mug. It says, "Not all who wander are lost." 2/3 the scene shows the mountain dipping down to the lake. The water and sky are rendered yellow with a rising (or setting) sun. 3/3 this side has a large tree in the foreground and another mountain appearing in the distance.
