I come out of my office at 5:00, which happens to be dinner time for our boys? Do you think they watch the clock? ##PoeAndFinnCats

I never wanted to live in interesting times.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Filling my page with art - here are a few pieces I've done for @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social over the years, because inspiration is no joke. Once it gets you, you have no choice but to do what it demands!

My silly crochet buddies, Finn and Poe. They're litter-mates, bonded, and will be three in March.

Starting with a painting I finished yesterday, after weeks of work! She's an NPC in our home D&D game, so I got to work on it without any deadline at all!
This is "Mina's Sword" which will be displayed art Norwescon next year. It's an oil painting, so it will probably be too wet before then.
