This is from the summer

These people were deep conspiracy theory believers for years. Then came an earth-shattering moment

In the depths of the conspiracy world, Stephanie Kemmerer hated herself and everyone around her. She felt trapped in disinformation — but here's how she finally got out.

I once stuffed an envelope at a former job for a man named Michael Hunt.

My total count is 962. Of those 312 have been retouched. 650 need to be retouched.

We discovered that Amazon sells motorcycle helmets for cats.
I really hope no one is buying helmets to take a cat on a motorcycle. I hope they're just for show.
(I wanted to look into getting a Daft Punk helmet for the stuffies)

I walked downstairs and my husband called out, "Come smell my bag"
"Wait what?"
He points over at a huge leather Gladstone style bag.
I gave it a whiff and omg.

I decided if I'm going for 1,000 Barbies - well that's quantity. But what about quality? The new semi transparent backgrounds I'm toying with will be used to change all previous versions. This is a learning process. I want this to be plentiful AND enchanting when it's finished

Stephanie Kemmerer @doubtisthewayout.bsky.social · 1d

Here's some of the stuff I'm toying with for backgrounds
Closeup of the one Batman background. 3 finished retouched Barbies. John Deere Barbie has a semi transparent tractor in back. C3PO has gold chrome, Chewbacca has brown fur.

Pretty proud of this one. Left is original image. I want the Barbie logo and the Coke logo switched from vertical to horizontal. I had to fill in where the logo overlapped her hair. My edit is on the right. I really like how this turned out.

Bill Burr is dead to me now. That hurts a lot. I like him. I loved him on Msndolorian. Love his stand up.

Maybe they really are the saviours of humanity! Wyld Stallions fix this mess!

There were some epic mistakes in some of the Barbies. Look up the Oreo Barbie fiasco, then there was the issue of Becky's wheelchair not fitting thru the various doll house doors.

Stephanie Kemmerer @doubtisthewayout.bsky.social · 1d

Fully agree ty 😃

Stephanie Kemmerer @doubtisthewayout.bsky.social · 1d

I had to assure my husband I'm not looking to boy them lol
Obviously all big corps are evil so I'm not enamored w the corp I'm enamored w this transcendent toy - I think that's best way to describe Barbies transcendent toys.

If you ever start to question reality just remember that someone at some point decided that making a Rosie O Donnell Barbie doll was a good idea

It's Trance O Clock.
Trance music is made for darker hours.

It's that weird couples "magic" where you have your own weird little dynamic that you think others might not get.
I'm glad I'm not alone.

My hubby was helping me w the dual monitor settings & he noticed a splotch on the screen.
"Is that tomato seeds' (he's British so "toe-mah-toe")
"Yeah from one of my sammiches"
"Animal," he said shaking his head and rolling his eyes
I love him so much lol
This is probably hilarious only to me
