What’s your sign?

It is the early 1990s and this poster is a child with aggressively bushy bangs standing in the driveway of a house holding a black poster board with white letters that says SKUNKS and which also displays four hand drawn pictures done in crayola marker with explanations below that may have come from an encyclopedia.

Cute as heck ~35 year old Ford Ranger with a nice normal hood height

A white ford ranger, approx 1989-1992, parked on a Baltimore street between two smallish cars and a motorcycle that aren’t being loomed over.

One more creepy sun picture. Don’t like that.

A small glowing orange circle in a hazy sky with wires crossing it. In the foreground, a chain link fence obscuring Baltimore row houses, and a red sign that says NO.

Spotted last time I was there

Two boxes of Jonny Pops popsicles in a freezer case, one rainbow and one in pastel colors which resembles the trans flag.

New wall hanging from that wild free estate sale last winter. Pillow to obscure the mess on my desk.

A large Syroco molded wall plaque with a brass colored design of a tall ship sailing, centered between two windows with sheer curtains. On the desk there’s a laptop open and a larger monitor which is dark. Also on the desk there’s a large square pillow with the magenta OFMD depression robe print in a velvety finish.

So much cuter than this one I got for free on the curb

A clear 12x12x6 plastic tote bag with branding which asserts that the holder is a Ravens PSL owner despite the fact that she has never been to a Ravens game. Stuffed with junk, above some green plastic seats inside OPACY

See you at pride night!

My vibe has always leaned hard in this direction, especially when living in the south

A cartoon probably drawn by Kate Beaton of Hark A Vagrant that I saved over a decade ago but forgot to note the provenance. A princess character flexing a big bicep says, “Oh is that water? I jogged here side I need major hydration”

Juice Queen throwback photo, could be Fall 2001

Polaroid of the inside of a white fridge. There’s a bottle of cranberry juice and a brita pitcher as well as two different Powerades and a quart of Evian water. The 6 pack Coke container in the door is just condiments, and the thing next to it is probably lemon juice.

Wild sky this evening and it looks like lightning down towards the harbor

The sky glowing, mostly orange and yellow, next to some bow front row houses and visible through leaves and thin branches at the top of a tree

The sky glowing pastels above a brick wall with a graffitied electrical box in front and a white row houses behind. A silver car is parked diagonally across the foreground with a warm pinkish glow reflected in it

I made the basement less scary and frustrating to exit! Found at Resource Exchange in Philadelphia last weekend.

An antique wooden basement door illuminated by a small fluorescent lamp. There is no doorknob.

The same antique wooden basement door illuminated by a small fluorescent lamp. There is a doorknob!

Close up shot of the new doorknob and the old wiggly hook that used to be the only way to get out.

There was one night when my little rescue girl was brand new to indoor life that I went and slept in the bathtub so she wouldn’t be lonely (2013)

Old Instagram photo with the filter to make it yellowed and resembling an old film strip. A fluffy gray kitten looks up at the camera with big eyes while perched half on her human’s leg

Philadelphia adventure time

Inside Philadelphia’s Amtrak station and its glorious with a huge ceiling and windows and a very large bronze angel statue. Between the windows are yellow/blue/green FIFA 2026 World Cup host city banners reading “it takes a city”

She’s more of a “distinct sections” girly from the front but loses the plot somewhere around the waist

A cat with an orange and black face and white chest, laying on a gray mat and black/white tiled floor, with her paws crossed, looking at the camera. She has green eyes and there are black freckles on her pink nose.

I have my own state cat of Maryland to worry about

A cat with mostly orange and black fur, and white on her feet. If you look carefully, her feet alternate black and orange in the front and orange and black in the back, like the four quadrants of our flag.

She’s standing near a special drinking fountain and has visibly scooped water all over the new hardwood floor despite a mat and a tray underneath it. She’s staring off into space thinking about the potential responsibility of being state cat.

Kate Tbd@katexas· May 27

No!

A haunting image of a white man with a white mustache and white hair, in a suit and tie, with a glowing blue marbled background. His face is turned 3/4 to the side but he’s making eye contact with his blue eyes and there are a dozen bright white teeth visible in his smile. He looks ready to sell you a car. It’s unclear if the man pictured doesn’t age or if he just has really consistent branding.

Feeling very [insert meme here] about Texas politics tonight after having removed myself from the voter rolls long enough ago that I didn’t get spammed with calls this time

Kate Tbd@katexas· May 20

Can’t decide what I’m most excited about

AI generated text that reads “State sun senion care” over a blurry zoomed in AI generated image of several human shaped figures sitting across from each other on 2 couches

“Exterior-13 Anercy Huye”
Hallucinated AI gibberish text near an image of freestanding solar panels

A green non-MUTCD compliant AI slop sign with blurry white text reading something like “Wonl Unos TO Meont Vernon” then underneath that text there’s a squiggle like a bacteria pointing in 3 vaguely south and west directions at once instead of a normal looking arrow

Cat tax interlude

Finn, a fluffy gray cat, sitting in a bowl sink and staring into the middle distance. Because the sink is a clear glass bowl, you can see the underside of his floof and the way his paw rests on the edge in front of him. He is large but well contained by the sink.
