I'm never entirely sure about what I can and cannot say in front of children. Fond of pie. Prone to dyspepsia. Chaotic good #Progressive. Is it enough to just say "Democrat" anymore? I don't think so. (She/her)

Need some weirdness in my life on this incredibly hot and humid evening. #WeirdAl #WeirdAlYankovic #BiggerandWeirderTour

Communism is what took down the once-great city of Ur. Everyone knows that. Make the Fertile Crescent Great Again! ✊️

Accurate depiction of what I look like every damn morning during the height of allergy season (i.e., right now). #allergies #springallergies

Ren (from the Nickelodeon cartoon, "Ren and Stimpy") lies in bed looking ill and pathetic. His eyes are bloodshot, swollen, and runny.

Macaulay Skullkin and I wish you a Happy Easter! ... Without any F-bombs or threats of war crimes included.

Look who's finally awake - emerging a little late this year! He's been here for about 5 or 6 years now and he's welcome to stick around even longer. He steals brown paper from the lawn bags in the shed. I refuse to stop him. It's too damn cute. #groundhog #woodchuck #wildlife

I love it when he gets that hot look of mayhem in his eyes! Happy Caturday! #cats #catsofbluesky #caturday #orangecats 🐈

A very large-eyed orange cat peers through the hole in his grey tunnel.

Had to have one of those blood panels done where you get a little antsy looking at how many vials they'll need. But I knew I'd get to come home for some serious spoonin' time! (He's currently snoring.) #cats #catsofbluesky #orangecats 🐈

An impossibly beautiful and large orange cat snoozes on a blue fleece blanket with polar bears on it. Vague human lump can be seen under the blue blanket, encircling the kitty.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Macaulay Skullkin and I. And from this obviously-cursed leprechaun I found at a store in Mystic, CT. #SaintPatricksDay #StPatricksDay #Leprechaun #CursedObjects

A plastic skeleton all decked out in St. Patrick's Day swag (green sunglasses, leprechaun hat necklace, clover headband) sits at a table with a eucalyptus leaf-print table cloth. A boom box wireless speaker is in front of him, and clover decorations are behind him.

Sweet Jesus, how to describe this? An obviously-cursed leprechaun puppet dangles from a ceiling. He's holding a rough hewn pipe and his Brigham Young beard is a cartoonish shade of red. If you've seen The Dark Crystal, his face is vaguely reminiscent of a Podling, but somehow worse.

Happy Valentine's Day from Macaulay Skullkin and I. #valentinesday

D.S. Bouchard@theartfuldodger· Feb 7

In about an hour, I have to go dig out 4+ inches of snow in the freezing cold. In about an hour, he'll still be right here. In this exact position. With the heated mattress pad on. My envy causes literal pain. #HappyCaturday #caturday #catsofbluesky #orangecats 🐈

A plushy, large orange boy cat half-curled up on a white bedspread. He is cozy and snoozing. The ample soft tum beckons.

#Rifftrax Candy Lion and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, if you celebrate. If not, have a very merry regular day. Remember, we can ALL eat candy. #MerryChristmas #HappyHolidays

Close-up of a creepy, dead-eyed lion ornament on a christmas tree. It says "I can eat candy." A golden bell, a snowflake ornament, and a colorful candy cane hang close by.

I'm jealous of Aldous's lifestyle choices. Happy caturday. #Caturday #Catsofbluesky #cats #orangecats 🐈

Macaulay Skullkin and I both hope you had a great Thanksgiving. He's eagerly anticipating the Christmas season, as you can see. #HappyThanksgiving

Where to start? A human-sized plastic skeleton wearing a red Santa hat sits at a table set for Thanksgiving. Tablecloth is fall-themed with multicolored leaves. Banner in background reads "Happy Fall." There is an autumn wreath above it and various Thanksgiving decorations around.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. I'm confident Mandy and Lola would stumble through insane situations, each more hilarious than the previous, only to accidentally kill my kidnappers. I get "rescued" by default. #Mandy #BBC #BBCComedy

Characters Mandy and Lola from the BBC comedy show, "Mandy." Both look horrified as Mandy drives a bus.

I recently celebrated the answer to life, the universe, and everything birthday. My towel was clean and ready to go. #fortytwo #TheHitchhiker'sGuidetotheGalaxy #Don'tPanic

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy cake with the numbers 42 as candles. Cupcakes below say "Don't Panic." Tablecloth below is bule and white striped, various birthday crap is in the background.
