New Jersey is what’s up

It is a smoky and sucky week but here is some local art in my house that makes me happy? Top I bought a decade ago in an art fair near Penn Station, bottom from a local arts council street fair 6-10 months ago(?) and middle just arrived via an Instagram referral

My mother sent me off with a set of these blue bowls when I got my first apartment because I loved them so much (probably 35-40 years/ as old as me?) I use one at least daily.

Proof of my devotion to Athena for at least 3 decades+ 🤣 shout out to Mom for photocopying a gorgon head, making a proper helmet with the aid of duct tape, and giving the garment an appropriate purple border

The late great Queenie, orange girl lunatic extraordinaire

I have also reduced my chances of getting recognized from the show by cutting my hair drastically since then

may not use it permanently but here’s the pic in question - and @kenjennings.bsky.social is good people. (He is very good at conveying “I want you to do well” even when you do stuff like botching a Daily Double 🤣) #ThisIsJeopardy

The most essential @dril.bsky.social tweet :

okay, everything sucks, so I am going to grab some joy by saying “quote or reply me your last screenshotted meme”- here is mine (alt texted )

Your most recent saved celebrity photo is a picture of your therapist… ( @forgotaboutdrea.bsky.social does this mean Helen, or Polly Gray? I think my actual therapist has much more of an Tommy vibe, though she can pull a Polly if she needs to )

I am having an achy sadbrains night, so I choose to cope with this by posting my one really cool celebrity encounter, that has held up for 14 years. (Whether that’s because he died 3 years later, only he can say.) it is me and Sir Terry Pratchett at NYCC 2012.

Bud Cort? God is truly dead 😢

This is who runs this account

If it’s PFP day, it’s a good day to note that this picture is not me, but of Hannah de Rothschild Primrose, Victorian era rich lady. I read Natalie Livingstone’s book, Googled Hannah, and realized OH WOW THAT’s MY 1800s DOPPELGÄNGER. Seriously, when my hair is long it is a very strong resemblance

Search camera roll for “hell”; the Dril zoo tweet I get, but this Dunks item is somehow the top result? This was apparently them starting the Halloween donuts like a month early

@aabria.bsky.social my late Grampa/Gramma’s stone owl is next to you while Thaisha is talking about the falcon’s screech 💜

People have never known what my age is (chubby brunette white lady) but at 40 now it is apparently working to my advantage??

my recent trip to Pittsburgh has your back

this is a giant Minion I bought during 2020. I didn’t check the size and thought it was like the smaller hand size Minion I had had previously. It is actually the size of a couch pillow. His name is Elvis and he is now my favorite thing to cameo on Zoom WFH meetings.

Please partake of Edith Russell, whose portrait I brought home from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last weekend (not a heist just a shop purchase )

Was just Googling the David Geffen news and here is today’s made up AI bullshit:

If you see this, post a skeleton

I have regained my love for stickers through something primarily I started to regain my love of reading : daily sticker chart! Also gives me fun fridge art. Don’t know what I will do with the full ones eventually (I have like 6 now).
