Unarmed Arab Muslim Ahmed el Ahmed took 2 bullets to protect Jewish neighbors & stopped the mass shooter with his bare hands
Never forget: A good guy w/o a gun had more courage than 100s of cops with unlimited guns

Your General Household Handi-Tiger here again, with some words for you today!
You don't have to let go of the people you care about. But add to them, as much as possible, people (and/or media) that inspire you to reach for what you want to achieve. There is no guarantee, but they'll help you try 👍

If canned beets go on sale, grab a bunch of them if you have a dehydrator. If you dehydrate them completely, you can grind them in a food processor or coffee grinder to make your own Beet Root Powder (FYI-a typical serving is 1-3 tsp, or 5-15g) 👍

I'm shortening my General Household Handibearcat title, just a little.
You can consider me your General Household Handi-Tiger, from now on 👍

Wish I was joking sharing this, but I woke up yesterday because I kept hearing a woman's voice saying "Hello" in my left ear. Just over and over, until I woke up. Two major problems, though. I always sleep with earplugs (they were still in), and I live alone. Literally just me and my male cat here.

I hate seeing, "Number one selling...." in ads. Like, okay, is it the number one selling because of quality, or just because you're the only supplier in select areas and it averages out? Number one selling because it's the best, or because you advertised so well people stopped caring? #1? Yeah? Why?

Working on making Ko-fi pages for each of these now. Made with recycled paper (homemade paper pulp, packed by hand into molds, then painted and sealed when dry). One darkly inclined tray, and four holiday ornaments so far (signed/dated), but more recycled-paper trays and decorations on the way.

All evil, throughout all of human history, has started with one act of apathy followed by first an excuse, then a reasonable argument for permission to do it again.

Weekend Confessional: I like Comic Sans. It's fun to use. It's easy for me to read. And it's only disliked so much because it was overused, and some un-fan boys decided there should be a hate bandwagon for people who don't actually care about it to jump onto, because that's what people do.

I have to pull out of the novella challenge. I've barely written this month. Just, so much less than I thought I would. And a few paragraphs does not a novella make. So...maybe next time.

A sneak peak of some of the things I've been working on for the last few days. They started off as experiments using homemade, recycled paper, that I decided I liked enough to keep going with. Finished items soon...I think. We'll see. Dealing with some burnout, or something. But I'm trying.

To all, but especially my autistic/audhd tribe: Buy the things you actually need, brand name or not. There are plenty of ways to take part in an econ-blackout that don't include going without your basics or your safe items. The idea is to make an impact, not to be hell bent on winning at all costs.

So...the building I live in is apparently haunted. At least, the floor I'm on. Since I moved in (2023), every now and then something knocks on my door, and sometimes unlocks it. But no one's there when I check.
It was just my door, but it's been happening to my neighbor's door recently, too.

My favorite Disney villain is Maleficent, but I have never actually watched Disney's animated Sleeping Beauty all the way through. I always end up missing significantly large parts of it.

After more than a month of being oddly but relatively reliable, my sleep cycle has returned to its previous state of flux. Currently hoping to ride a wave of waning will power until at the very least noon, before the little person in my head puts me in park for 6-8 hours against my wishes.

Are junk journals still a thing? I haven't made one in a long time except for myself. But I don't want to start making them again if people really don't care anymore.
Also, I have lots of masterboard and grungy bookmarks. Should I list them separately, or just add them to journals if I start again?

I've had this arm trainer for about 2 weeks now. Anyone know how to stop these from hurting your hands/wrists? My knuckles and carpal tunnel have been having a bad time trying to make it work.
Also, please excuse the cat hair. I usually lint roll, but didn't think to here until after taking the pic.

So...what does it mean when you're having a nice dream that suddenly turns angry and heavy, and violent, but you're lucid enough to pull yourself away in time to see a formless shadow that starts to move away from the scene, and you, when you notice it; and the scene becomes calm again as it leaves?

Had a migraine since yesterday. It's gotten better, but hasn't gone yet. Couldn't go anywhere or do anything, so I did some digital arting. First I oldened a pic of me (think I did the water damage pretty well). Then I got inspired by a different pic (not mine) and created a goblin.
