THE BUMS ARE ON THE WAY OUT!
You are looking at the current results for the Public Service Commission race in Georgia. This is just advanced voting—the precincts haven’t started reporting yet. The incumbent Republicans are indicated with short red lines. The Democratic candidates are marked with LONG blue lines. I smell blood in the water.

So, cover of a Gor novel from the 70s, or movie poster for an Italian Conan knock-off movie from the 80s?
This is a poster advertising a perfume by Versace called Eros. It features two bottles of the product on the lower left side, and the right side is taken up with— Oh, boy. Let me try to give this justice. There’s this big, muscley Dude who is wearing nothing but striped underwear, boots made out of golden ribbons, and a bling-level gold chain around his neck. He’s in a really awkward position—he’s kneeling on one leg, and the other is bent with his foot planted on the ground. His face is very jock-like, with thick brows furrowed as if he’s trying to remember something. Next to him is a woman who looks like a model for a perfume ad in 1976, wearing a flowing white dress and spike-heeled boots that are also formed from golden ribbons like the dude. One leg is crooked in a very awkward pose with her knee somewhere on the dude’s hip. Her hair is, of course, golden and flowy, swept to the left side by a wind that doesn’t seem to be affecting the dress much.

The view from my seat. #SheilaDoesVegas
This is a view of the stage from my seat (I zoomed in, so don’t be impressed) where Sir Paul McCartney is about to play. The stage proper has blue lights shining from behind, putting all the instruments in silhouette. Framing the are two gigantic screens like iPhones for Godzilla. Above the stage is another large screen, welcoming Paul back to the stadium, with the name of the stadium (Allegiant Stadium) above that. The crowd is getting settled and we’re ready for the Knight to play.

How you know it’s October. #SheilaDoesVegas
This is a very gaudy Christmas display in a Neiman Marcus. There are decorated trees, bowls of ball ornaments, a little Santa, and a great, big polar bear.

MARTA didn’t take as long as I expected, so I decided to skip the train and walk to my gate. If I’d taken it, I would have completely missed out on a marvelous exhibition of Zimbabwean stone sculptures along the way. #SheilaDoesVegas
This is a long passageway that leads from one concourse to another. There are moving walkways on each side. The carpet is a bunch of sine waves in earth-toned colors. But that’s not the important part. Running down the center of the corridor are a series of carved stone statues by Zimbabwean artists, all of which are stunning. Stylized figures shaped in textures from smoothly polished, to roughly textured, to raw stone. I circled each one, taking them in. It fed my soul and made me glad I chose to walk.

Tommy and I are going to Vegas again! This time so I can see Sir Paul McCartney play a show. I’ll be hashtagging with #SheilaDoesVegas and #TommyTheBear if you want to keep up with things.
This is a picture of Tommy the Bear poking his head out of a carry-on bag. The bag is black with burgundy piping and it fits neatly under an airplane seat. Tommy is a teddy bear whom I have owned for so long I don’t even remember when I got him. (I got him for Christmas—I’ve seen the pictures, but I don’t recall the event.) He is a bear with a white face, orange eyes, and a little red dot for a nose. His ears and limbs are black. He’s wearing an orange felt jacket with a white button that my mother made for him. Future alt-tags will describe him in a little less detail.

I was fact-checking something for my job and came across this on a government website.
A screenshot from the Natural Resources Conservation Service official site. Beneath the word “Notice” is a brown box with the following words written in it: Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.

Breakfast day three. #DragonCon
Black plastic utensils on a white paper napkin; two egg patties and two pieces of toast on a white plate; two packets of butter and two packets of apple butter; a cup of orange juice and a cup of coffee, all on a dark brown wood table.

Breakfast Day 2. #DragonCon
A white napkin with black plastic knife, fork, and spoon; half a waffle with two packets of mixed fruit jelly; a bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries; a small plastic cup of orange juice; and a paper cup of coffee with a wooden stirrer sticking out. Not pictured: tiny bugs dive-bombing into my coffee and trying to land on my food.

Post-blood-donation snack.
A 4-pack of Nutter Butters, a package of Mott’s fruit snacks, a pouch of Capri Sun, and a bottle of Pure Life water on a black tablecloth.

This slip of paper fell out of this library book while I was reading it. It seemed like a weird place to put it.
The cover of a library copy of The History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter with a small slip of paper that fell out somewhere in the middle of Chapter Ten. The writing on it reads: www.mtgow.com, www.dontmarry.com www.avoiceformen.com, www.leykis101.com, Nevercosign @ ok cupid, www.mensrights.com

The was, however, a doorbell, so I rang it, a nice lady answered and I asked where voting was. The told me it was around the back.

This was the view from the door.

There was no VOTE HERE sign visible to direct me there. It was visible from the SIDE of the building.

The view from the door from where I rang the bell. Even if you look behind the SUV, there is no VOTE HERE sign visible. The VOTE HERE sign that could not be seen from the door.

People who live in South Fulton, where the income levels are lower, will have to drive much farther to get here.

And they'll have to contend with these doors pictured below. The two signs say the same thing. There is no sign indicating where voting is. I tried the doors and found them locked.

Two sets of French doors with a sign posted on the glass of each set. A crumpled sign with reads: WARNING UNDER GEORGIA LAW, THERE IS NO LIABILITY FOR AN INJURY OR DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL ENTERING THESE PREMISES IF SUCH INJURY OR DEATH RESULTS FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF CONTRACTING COVID-19. YOU ARE ASSUMING THIS RISK BY ENTERING THESE PREMISES.

This is a meme in the style of a motivational poster. The picture is a black-and-photo of the early-model Beatles,. They are all looking in the same direction. George, Ringo, and Paul are not smiling; John is. The caption reads "THE BEATLES AREN'T AMUSED." The caption below it read "Except for John, because he's easily amused.

Text I received just now and my response.
Incoming text: Hey Sheila, I noticed you’ve been in touch with multiple brokers regarding Sheila Writes. I believe in a more straightforward approach. My response: Perhaps you should do a modicum of research before soliciting business. A quick glance at my website would have shown you that I am a solo shop in the industry of freelance writing. I work from home and have negligible expenses. I have no need for ‘capital.’ In addition, I would not do business with you because you LIED to me. How would you even know I was “in touch with multiple brokers” when I HAVE NOT? You’re the first people to have bugged me about this in MONTHS. Stand in a corner and think about your choices. Do not text me again.
