These are SO cute! You've really nailed the cuteness.

So, I did a thing. I bought this Pfaff 130. Within an hour of using it, it was shooting sparks and started smoking. The seller claims it worked, no returns. I bought and installed a new motor, foot pedal, and rewired the light. The motor is twice as powerful as the original!

This is a video of a Northampton trash company. It speaks so much to what it's like here. Ans, a lot of it was filmed in our neighborhood.

The government gonna govern. We now officially live in a racist oligarchy. As a middle class, middle-aged gay white man, I don't want to live in a white "christian" country.

I need an olive wood one once the beads come in. :)

Hi, welcome to The Chapel. Good lord, I couldn't find where this was in the apartment. It was like a holy scavenger hunt.

Went back home for a visit today. Stopped by to visit with the parents now that the headstone is done.

Just got home. I got to meet author Patrick Scalisi and illustrator Valerie Ruby-Omen and got a signed copy of their book Connecticut Cryptids! Lots of vendors with some great items. And, the weather is perfect for a walk around town.

At least you haven't gotten to the "invitation for tea and toast" part yet.

Their personal power plays is beyond reproach.

It's time. Why wait for the inevitable? If you're new here, @tetrabryaton.bsky.social and I live in a former funeral parlor. Our living room was one of the viewing parlors. We try and make it a cool environment. A skeleton spinning yarn from cobwebs seems appropriate.

A nice thing happened. I was chatting with our handyman. I was telling him about making a garden in the back instead of weeds.
Fast forward two hours, he and his guy came over with wheelbarrows full of topsoil and gave us a good base!
Edited because of character limit.

I hope you're doing better. Was it the vaccines that are making you under the weather? (That always happens to me.)

This past spring, @tetrabryaton.bsky.social and I got a couple of rose bushes. Some weird cutworms devoured them immediately. I cut them back and sheltered them, and we're finally getting some amazing fall blooms. The stems are super long, and the flowers are so fragrant.

Yeah, we've found that the price of freedom of speech is 6.7 billion dollars. Jimmy is worth every penny.
