Just dropping this here. Oh, also this:

Just so we’re clear. Impeachment is no longer enough. Trump is shriveling fast anyway and just look at his runners-up.

When a government branch attempts to consolidate not only the powers of the other branches but those of the states, we are no longer in a democratic republic. Nothing short of clearing out Trump and all of his co-conspirators will be enough to stop this bid for dictatorship and the destruction of our rights. ❌👑

CVS August 2025

At least, what our small town CVS has currently. The spidey is cute but 2 legs short. And Bruce, seen at the top, rolls around on the floor doing loops and playing the Jaws theme quite loudly. He has a hard plastic base and is $30. I decided he was a lot… not so much in price as in volume. I didn’t see a switch to choose movement without the sound.

TJ Maxx August 2025

I was getting tired at this point in the shopping trip, so these pictures are hasty and wide shots. But get a load of the bedsheets, blankets and bedclothes. Full bed size fleecy Halloween blankies!

A better place to spend your dollars as far as prices go.

Michael’s August 2025

Mostly for inspo. The prices here are insane. I recommend getting into paper maché.

My preferred scents are at the end.

In a throwback to the “sometimes self care is” thing, we are making Ooky a mini semi-replica of the quilt she loves. Here’s hoping she loves hers as much as her favorite’s. Maybe if the favorite sleeps with it for a while to give it her scent.

Finally gave my rubber chicken a sponge bath. And here I was thinking I never seem to get anything done.

Edit: Did this ever get posted? Tumblr has so much trouble with video uploads.

I can’t make the pain stop, but I can share with you Ooky’s gripping struggle to make a bed of an egg carton.

Her solution:

I’m finally getting around to sculpting myself a nativity scene out of polymer clay and it struck me as very peculiar when I used an oven mitt to pull this one out of the oven so that I could leave the manger in for another 15.

Truly of humble beginnings, lol. Anyway, I hate those nativity scenes where he looks like he’s giving absolution right after coming out of the womb. Give him a few days at least. Is baby, drinks milk an gets swaddled.

I am no longer explaining my chronic illnesses. I'm only ominously referencing them like I'm a fantasy realm NPC dropping plot hooks:

I am besieged by the affliction

The ritual was successful, but it has drained me. I need time to recuperate.

I can't do that, because of The Curse

Dark forces are conspiring within me. I must conserve my strength to battle them.

Unseen foes assault me. I cannot strike back with blows, but I can lessen their influence by consuming certain alchemical rites.

if tumblr premium had a working filter that would reliably, exclusively, automatically remove ai generated artwork for my dashboard, not only would I sign up, I'd offer grants to pay for others to enjoy it
