I never had anything I felt good to wear to the Pennsylvania #Renaissance Faire, so I haven't gone for probably 15 years. Well, I think this bargain has me covered (pun intended). Was tagged at $5, but women's clothing is 50% off this week, so I paid $2.50. #ThriftWin

The Big Boys are getting Old with a capital O and showing those signs of approaching their golden years. I am so grateful they have had each other and that strong bond all of their lives.

Most of my annuals are still alive. The Verbena (not shown) is actually blooming anew. The Heliotrope (shown) has turned a grey green, and the Snapdragons and even darker purple/red on the leaves. Ornamental Peppers and Japanese Mustard still going strong. Sheesh.

Oh to have this level of confidence and no-fucks-given. Goddess tier.
You might not think you needed to see Kate Bush dressed as a bat today, but you were wrong.

Big Deborah takes over my body like a demon this time of year. Anything I do out of character, blame the cakes and call the Exorcist. LOL #ChristmasTreeCakes #LittleDebbie #WereAllBasicBsForSomething

When I was a kid, these card sets were a THING. We were too poor for me to ever get a subscription to the club that sent you sets each month. I found this #houseplant set complete for $3 on Monday. The container can be used as a terrarium, I think! I love the vintage plant artwork.

As a permanently disabled American who would be homeless without federal help, I am not surprised by this at all. Republicans find very little value in us and don't mind if we struggle. I have been waiting for news that HUD cuts were beginning. Time for us to plan for the worst before it happens.
Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing — many of whom are disabled or over 50.

The cruelty is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

The amount of weird scents being made these days is phenomenal. Phenomenal and why-inspiring for sure.

The Virus and Bacteria Killer crouches in shadow, waiting for his quarry to show their sickly faces. He has been paid 5 Cheerios to make the world a little cleaner today.

Mornings do not agree with Nax. He will not leave his area to go down to the dish to get even his favorite pouch food most AMs. If I have time, I must hand-squeeze his nutrients. But the annoyance is worth it for the ear wiggles.

Extra soft, but extra grouchy after a badly-needed bath.

One thing to keep in mind,going into the holidays shopping season: huge corporations can offer deep discounts because they never intended to sell items at full price anyway- prices were always grossly inflated to make big discounts look like Deals. It’s built into their marketing.

God, is that you?! 🤣

(FYI, #DietCoke is one of my drugs, unfortunately. Fortunately, I am able to not have it in my home and be okay. This was not always the case.)

I made them a cardboard duplex so they would not fight over box territory, but then they do this. 🤪

I absolutely regret my vote for him. I would like to hear him explain his decisions in depth with a good interviewer, but I don't think that will happen. I wonder how much that stroke did him in, and if any medications he is on for his psych issues are playing a role.
John Fetterman has not been a well man for a lot longer than we ever suspected.

The Littles aren't so little anymore. Not so scaredy either.... Jax will now jump from the cage to my shoulder without permission.

I have blocked umpteen BlueSky bot or fake accounts posing as actual Leftists posting credible news. Why would a watchdog account's profile picture be of a beautiful woman in a luxury tourist destination? Don't follow, like, or absorb from unscrutinized sources! SCRUTINIZE!!!

I'm going to be spending more time at home this winter, and have been hitting thrifts to find home improvement and craft items to keep me occupied. Inspired by the #goth collection at Michaels, I am going to darken a traditional Christmas statue with punk and metal elements. Send any ideas my way!

Alpaca Festival! I had to get a pic with the Gothpaca, Prince of the Fifth Pasture of Hell. 🖤👑

We listened to a lecture on Alpaca care, did a tractor ride, and pet/fed whomever of the bunch would let us. We tried to be very respectful of the animals' space and needs.

THANK YOU, PA!!

A relief for November for sure, but the Republicans have shown that they are willing to make the most vulnerable suffer for their own egotistical purposes. I am going to continue to hoard food, chase deals, and do with less until I feel better about who is in charge of the nation.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits.

After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

#Thrift find of the year!! Times are hard, but not so hard that I won't plunk down $2 for a 41 year old, English figurine of two drunk snowmen making their way home. They join my Weird Winter Collection of strange #snowmen that come out in December.
