Everyone say hi to Ringo the Eurasian eagle owl!!!

Scarlett O'Hairdye (ScarlettStorm)@scarlettohairdye· 22d

Did you know that when you're an adult you can just book an educational birds of prey show for your neighborhood, get a permit to shut down the street, book a taco truck, an ice cream truck, and someone to sell bird-themed art? Because I've done it three years in a row now!

A stack of brightly colored punk rock show style flyers for The Third Annual Neighborhood Hawk Party, featuring a drawing of a Harris hawk and announcing the presence of a taco truck, that kids are welcome, and that people should BYO chair.

A selfie of a grinning white woman with ice cream standing next to a Eurasian eagle owl, held by another woman on a gloved hand.

Nori update.

Showed up at my usual weekly forest restoration volunteer session yesterday to discover there were at least thirty 7-10 year old day campers (and their counselors) participating and immediately became this tweet:

A screenshot of a tweet by @kramerposts reading:
It's not my circus, but... I am a man with a sense of obligation and duty. Very well. I will care for these monkeys. I will raise them as if they were my own.

I'm doing the 14/48 theater festival for the first time Friday and Saturday (14 plays written, costumed, directed, rehearsed, and performed in 48 hours) and they're either entirely unprepared for the energy I'm about to bring, or they've been waiting for me all their life and only time will tell

Shout out to @fantasiavii.bsky.social for sending me two perfect bumper stickers in the most thorough and beautiful packaging I've ever seen in my whole damn life!

A bumper sticker reading "I wish this freeway was high speed rail" tucked beautifully into paper holders at the corners on a piece of cardstock. The corner holders are taped in place with lovely botanical print washi tape.

Two bumper stickers. The top reads "I wish this freeway was high speed rail" in black text on a green background. The bottom reads "I'd rather be riding well funded extensive public transit" in white text on a blue background.

I'm reading the Stranger's endorsements and this quote is so vicious 😂:

Her opponent, Toshiko Hasegawa, is a Port of Seattle commissioner, and she shares a lot of the same values as Saldaña. The progressive-on-progressive violence is hard to watch: At our meeting, Saldaña took one look at Hasegawa’s “Save Graham Street Station” shirt and remarked that she wanted one, but her kids wouldn’t let her wear it because it was so clearly AI-generated. A quiet, yet cutting strike. Hasegawa spent most of the meeting sitting close to the table, her arms folded on her midsection, hiding as much of the shirt as possible.

He's so into it 😹

My first costume commission since doing A WHOLE-ASS PLAY. Her job is Beach, and she's ready to do chair acro burlesque. (Somehow neither me nor the performer realized how Barbie this would be until I put it together on the dress form 😂)

A photo collage of a bright Barbie-ass pink spandex costume consisting of a draped cowl neck bodice attached to a halter top (with a slutty little underboob peek), and a wrap skirt with a high slit over a pair of high-waisted underwear. The costume is shot from the front, 3/4 view, and the back.

A photo collage of the same bright pink costume with first the skirt removed and then the cowl bodice removed to show off the pink metallic halter top and the high-waisted underwear, which have a gathered scrunch up the butt crack and two separating zippers along the front panel seams for ease of removal onstage.

My little sister posted this toddler picture of herself in the family group chat and I was so charmed that I *had* to draw the modern punk girl who would absolutely rock that '80s sweater and baby mullet

A photo obviously taken with an old film camera of a toddler girl standing with her arm around a St Francis of Assisi statue in a backyard. Her face has been obscured, but you can see her redhead spiky baby mullet and her sweatshirt has been broken into four quadrants. Top left is pink and purple floral, top right is black with white polka dots, bottom right is pink and purple floral again, and bottom left is black and white houndstooth. One sleeve is black and white polka dot, the other sleeve is black and white houndstooth. It's literally dope as hell.

A full color digital painting of a comically tall and skinny redheaded punk girl with a spiky mullet, the same sweatshirt as described in the previous picture, skinny jeans with holes in the knees, and Chucks. She is holding a coffee and waving to someone off screen.

This lad has never even heard of fighting back and it will not occur to him that it is a possibility

I really just need everyone to appreciate the difference between my photo of the red panda at the Woodland Park Zoo I took with my shitty little phone and my wife's photo with her nice camera and telephoto lens 😂

A photo of a curled up asleep red panda in its enclosure. The red panda is in the center of the photo, is itty bitty, and there are weird reflections on the glass the photo is being taken through.

A close-up of the same red panda taken from closer to the ground so you can really see the look of wistful ennui on its face and how fluffy its little ears are.

'twas time for my periodic "nuke the whole thing from orbit and start from scratch"

A selfie of a smiling white woman in glasses with an entirely shaved head. She has a beautiful smooth symmetrical skull and looks great.

Get you a girl who can do both

A snarling woman with bright blue drag queen eyeshadow wearing a metallic spandex recreation of Catra's costume from the original She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Sure, you're a good partner, but are you "Surprise your wife for her birthday with Oaxacan Mexican food, a visit to a cat cafe, and fancy ice cream for dessert" good? (Please pretend the candle is lit, my matches were NOT cooperating 😂)

A smiling white woman with a real good haircut sitting at a table outside on a restaurant patio with a small pile of wrapped gifts in front of her.

A table with chips, salsa, guacamole, a plate of mole chicken, and a plate of memelitas. Everything looks delicious and was, trust me.

A white woman, obviously smiling under her kn95 mask, sitting in front of an absolutely conked out asleep tuxedo cat in a cozy cat bed on the top of a combo bench/cat shelf.

A smiling white woman holding a waffle cone of delicious looking ice cream with a squiggly, unlit birthday candle in it.

Matcha update

Matcha, a small mostly white calico cat, semi-loafing in a window lounger, looking a little affronted to have a photo taken of her.

Can confirm! I wore this cat sweater to a fiber festival today, and people were shouting at me across the aisles in the vendor hall to tell me how much they liked it!

Scenes from the lovely hike I went on yesterday with my little sister for her birthday plus my Beautiful Cat Nephew Gus.

A forested Pacific Northwest trail running very obviously uphill.

A sign saying "Caution: Steep Cliffs" with an illustration of a little stick man falling off the side, complete with falling rocks.

An absolutely gorgeous view out over a lake, forested foothills, and distant mountains. The sky is blue and dotted with white clouds.

Gus, a beautiful fluffy Ragdoll cat with blue eyes and black pointing, sits in a woven wicker tray on a table that wasn't supposed to be his special tray but has become so.

Nori update

Nori, a large back cat with a little white star on his throat, lies zonked out on a couch, his chest up to the ceiling with his front limbs akimbo (one blocking his face) and his hindquarters and tail pointing to the right. He looks like someone assembled him incorrectly.

A shot of Nori (a large black cat) in the same pose, but from down by the couch cushions, showing his yellow eyes squinting out from under the cover of his bewilderingly placed paws, because he was apparently awake while lying in this bizarre position.

Representative Whitefish, Ma'am. You're needed in Congress.

Nori update

Nori, a large black cat, lying face down on a couch with his left front leg out stretched in front of him crammed between a throw pillow in the back of the couch and his left back leg stretched out behind him on the seat of the couch. His face is kind of crammed into his elbow and his whole body is in a shallow S shape because he has stretched it out in the longest, wiggliest way he possibly can.

Gyoza update AND Matcha update

Two cats curled up asleep on a couch with two inches between their butts because they're NOT friends and they are NOT cuddling. Gyoza, the big gray tabby with white socks, has gone full shrimp and is holding onto his back legs with his front paws. Matcha, the small mostly white calico, has shoved her face into her fur such that you can barely see it.

Hey, Victoria... We're here to burgle your turts

Flower portrait session in progress.

The woman at the table next to us kept complaining that this was "Waaaaay too much food!" to which I say, "Skill issue."

A three-tiered afternoon tea service consisting of scones, multiple tiny desserts, and an array of tiny sandwiches.

A close-up of two ginger scones with a ramekin of clotted cream and a ramekin of housemate strawberry jam.

A close-up of a plate of tiny desserts consisting of a very fudgy dark chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream, a little tiered strawberry petit four, the best carrot cake you've ever seen in your goddamn life, and tiny vanilla cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting.

A close up of a plate of tiny tea sandwiches, consisting of egg salad, curry chicken salad, ham, cucumber and cream cheese, tiny sausage rolls, and tiny leek tarts.

The result

An incredibly dignified brown tabby cat sitting very neatly on a stone wall that almost matches it in color.

Went to World of Miniatures yesterday and learned that both me and my wife react like tiny excited children when we get to hit a button to make a wee model train drive around a track

Started out our trip to Victoria with an afternoon tea so good it may have been a mistake because now everything else we eat has to live up to it

A table covered in floral teapots, tea cups, and a three-tiered afternoon tea service, consisting of many tiny sandwiches, delicious scones, and itty bitty desserts. It tasted just as good as it looks.
