No tape. No glue. Paper, hemp cord, and apparently a burnishing tool now, because I’ve become that person. I am getting extremely good at wrapping paintings for transport. It is unpaid, ephemeral, and almost nobody ever notices it. And yet: look at those corners.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social Now all y'all Vote Blue No Matter Who folk gonna show up, right? When the Blue candidate is progressive you're gonna suck it up & support them just like we lefties did for years. For election after election. Right? Right? Votin' blue no matter who! Let's go!
Server-side. Client-side. Who knew? Light bulb moment. Today, I asked ChatGPT to help me suss out why my spam filter is no longer keeping Omaha Steaks and its ilk from reaching my inbox. 1/2
how in the world could a modesty garment exist under that INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS dress?
I added to my collection. And no, I haven’t been in a fandom since I was a routine and the Beatles happen.
I don’t like bird netting. I couldn’t find pinwheels at the dollar tree or anywhere else. But I do have CDs in my stash (a gift from a fellow artist who thought I might use them for pouring paint.) Let’s see if this keeps the birds away from my berries. #makingitupasigoalong
A new technique. (If you like 5X-ing the time it takes you to make a painting that is.) Step one make a painting. Let it dry and cure. Step two: Tape off the top and do a pour on one side. Dry and cure. Step three: Do another side. Steps four and five: You get it. But wait there's more...
Okay this is ridiculous. I've been spending too much time fiddling with this web build with AI's assistance. I laughed hard.
The 3-y-io granddaughter is into succulents atm. She picked out one for herself at the plant store, showed it to me and I then showed her my succulent plantings. Now when we FaceTime, she wants to see the succulents. Well, lucky her, I’m bringing her six more for her collection. Grandma magic.
This one just said I love you to me for the first time. My heart just grew three sizes. That’s it. That’s the post.
Got into the studio for the first time in five weeks or more. (Been germinating seeds on the table. I live and work in a surface-deficient place.) So glad I did. And I love the new way I’m doing the sides.
I set a line for myself: no paid plugins on this site. I'm building a gallery out of whatever the free version will give me… and then pushing it further. Background click-to-close? Done. And this sweet effect: iimage gets a bit bigger and darker on hover). Self-imposed constraint = playground.
Finally. After wearing a stupid Canadian wolf bird t-shirt around here for months with zero recognition, today’s been so much more satisfying. Tarted up my crown and did errands. I’ve had the best interactions, had my picture taken a few times. …
No wonder I spent so much time re-watching Heated Rivalry, listening to the music from the show, or watching people react or talk about it. HR’s a joyful, hopeful antidote to how living in America in 2026 makes me feel every time I think about it.
The fucking #nyt At least it's an opinion piece. Hooray. But they're platforming this shit? Mainstream media supporting this corrupt madness. Of course. But sickening.
Live long enough and you circle back to things you thought you were done with. In Brooklyn, houseplants were all I had; in Calif I’ve spent thirty years growing everything outside. Now there’s a new shelf, and a couple of succulents back indoors. Next: strings of hearts and dolphins cascading down.
I wonder if my grandparents’ relatives might’ve had a different outcome if they were all filming the atrocities in the 1920s and 30s in Germany & Poland. Wondering does not fill me with hope. I hate this fucking timeline. [Thank you to my friend and her powerful post that I lifted this image from.]
Dude! WTF! There’s an ant inside my monitor. It’s inside. I assumed in so tight I lost focus sorry but yes, there’s an ant in my monitor. I give up.
