probably not a cryptid? nyc born and raised; you have now been warned
i have never even read tomie and i should, but i don't think this image is ever going to be anything besides "this is what bpd feels like" to me i more often describe it as a demon i keep restrained in my head that still screeches terrible things nonstop, but this is the best visual representation
hey you in the #nyc metro area!!! have you ever wanted to #foster a #rescuedog????? the nycacc is wildly over capacity and is contacting rescues begging for help, but we need! more!! fosters!!! struggling with the crushing weight of reality these days? searching for meaning? save a life today! ama!
idk who needs this pupsicle recipe, but peanut butter and diced apples in unsalted bone broth is my new foster dog's absolute favorite summer treat.
new sticker design... it's SQUARE?! (the sticker has been round or oval my entire life)
whatever led us here sure wasn't the right course of action, no. it's worth mentioning that @jfrejnyc.bsky.social endorses brad lander! and the lobbying texts i'm getting on goldman's behalf are... let's just say they're very focused on the matter of community support. of only one community.
even if you've done this before, do it again now. the update must have reset things to hide by default bc i KNOW i've turned "rude" off before:
i did make some delicious and decently aesthetic treats! just... gotta figure out how to not let them go to waste, at the least.
the bus shelter ad i saw yesterday seems to be the same campaign, an AI company called "artisan" that hasn't gotten quite to the "stop hiring humans" full bus wrap escalation in nyc yet; we've got the first only:
gonna leave you with this video of her on day 3, coming home to a box that had been delivered for her while we were out thanks to friends who supported me in saving her. i'm out of breath because i started crying a little when i realized she was leading me home, before thinking to film it for ELO.
sweet baby got a medicated bath and pro pawdicure and was an ANGEL about it all, received a pupcup for her efforts, and is now taking a much deserved nap on fresh bedding because (as her bandana says) we gotta maintain that clean pup energy! a good day for pennylou.
sorry i've ceased to exist; got a new foster!!! she is simultaneously the easiest behavioral and most worrying (& heartbreaking) medical case i've ever had, still settling. + scrappy is larping 50 first dates. after every nap he sees her again and is all WHOMST?! INTRUDER!!! but it's improving.
gimmie your best joke about what the veteran type guy's hat should say because i can't say mine given that the Generic Stubbled White Man resembles the man of files (my best guess at the actual letters in this slop, if it was the english alphabet, is P E B U R? I O in case you're on a small screen)
...............................no. i do not need an AI to "understand and interpret" the photos I AM CURRENTLY TAKING????? or any photos i want to look at tbh. stop forcing the enshittification engine into e v e r y t h i n g this is so stupid. we already have auto-sort albums via recognition!

my grandfather would've loved this one, he used to say "what's the alternative?" and he was right. i lean more into the "hang in there, it gets worse!" flavor of dark humor, myself, but this one's going on the wishlist anyway.
did a charity bake sale that was apparently all pastry chefs contributing except me, meaning none of mine sold and after crying i had to run around delivering treats to friends so they didn't go to waste. 3rd time my offerings didn't move, so i'm officially giving up, but i did get a clip out of it:
okay but i swear he was kinda cute to my eyes but when i tried to draw him i got to the beard and realized this one was scary too so just. switched to red BUT I CAN'T DRAW! look back at your original photo, do you see the cute guy now?
if i complain about something publicly the problem tends to resolve itself soon after, so COME ON UPS, CONFIRM MY EXTREMELY TIME SENSITIVE PICKUP THAT MUST GET TO TEXAS TOMORROW MORNING i requested yesterday and had samples drawn, if this doesn't go out TODAY i have to wait 2 months or pay a tech!
i wrangled my mother into going through the hall closet with me today and found the MOST RIDICULOUS item that was definitely a gift my grandmother bought my her for some christmas... apparently there's a whole bunch on ebay for a couple dollars each and no interest, lol...
7/12 batches of cookies down, then just some brownies to go... anyone want to buy some valentine's cookies at a neighborhood holiday market tomorrow? (i hope somebody does, bc this has been a lot of work!)
www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-hel... hey #dogsofbluesky can we boost this fundraiser to get diamond and her owner veterinary care and warmer clothes, respectively? it's deathly cold out! the original post on facebook (link in alt text) has updates that the gfm doesn't yet so i've included a screencap!
i have been visited by the brooklyn whistle fairy!!! shoutout to @gregpak.net for the push -- i'll be bringing them, handmade lanyards, and other supplies to a community building, whistle-kit-making event in my neighborhood tomorrow.
@shysterb.bsky.social pretty sure you're the one i should show this off to... it's not done yet but am i fulfilling the 'something beautiful' criteria?
