YOU COME FOR ME LIKE THIS ON MY OWN FEED?!? *attempts to close cupboard over mountain of rustic pottery*
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Today is also my dog Laika's #GotchaDay.
Three years ago, I officially adopted her from the Arizona Animal Welfare League. She was rescued from a puppy mill, where she was used as a breeding female, and she was terrified of people.
She now has a quiet, peaceful home with me.

It's #DoctorWhoDay tomorrow.
Here's most of my Doctor portraits, some of them still unfinished (the last four, which are still sketches.)
Also, bonus Morbius/Forgotten Lives Doctors.
And this is only a just a little of the DW-themed artwork I've done over the years.

I've found I've been liking popcorn with olive oil and nutritional yeast. Not bad.

Thank you @paulmagrs.bsky.social and @stevecolewriter.bsky.social for this wonderful book. Stories that show us the familiar from a new perspective, remind us to look at life through others' eyes, and that entertain and move, with fabulous illustrations. May there always be stories and storytellers!

Was wearing my Harris/Walz 2024 shirt yesterday around the apartment. Nostalgia. Oddly comforting, for some reason.
It was only a year ago. Instead, it feels like decades have gone by.
Long, slow, infuriating decades.

Our security dog Chanel at work this morning, guarding the perimeter.
Playing with her cow/snake(?) squeaky toy, which she presents to me when I come out to see her.
I gave her some sardines as a treat, hence the chop-licking.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.
