Anyway, I added new stuff to my shop earlier today. Plus I'm having a sale on 5x7 prints. Buy something, it will distract me & make me happy 😆

Things I am grateful for: My wonderful, supportive, talented, loving, and adorable husband; our goofy, whip smart, velcro, goober of a Belgian malinois; and everything & everyone else that bring us joy & laughter in this horrible, depressing world.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Try not to barf from gorging.

I know a lot of 'em are probably bots, but it's weird being right on the precipice of 1,000 followers for the first time since I started using social media in 2009. The highest I ever got in 14 years at the Bad Place was I think 480-something.

Thanks for following me, turkeys! #HappyThanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner.

All afternoon to prepare.

20 minutes to eat.

30 minutes to find places in the refrigerator for leftovers.

Major framing and structural woodwork done. Time to apply the base coat. The Gentleman homeowner seems pleased at the progress of Hellmouth Homebuilders LLC.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

The best way to celebrate Turkey Day: #MST3K.
Some of y'all watch football. Some the parade. Some of you put on that one episode of WKRP from 1978... and that was a brilliant one.

But the true best Thanksgiving TV tradition, the one nearest and dearest to my heart, is MST3k's Turkey Day marathon...

New desk obtained! Switching out the old computer desk starts Monday.
Ooooohhh . . . Dropped another $10. For once my procrastination pays off!

(PLUS, Michael's is having a "spend $40 or more on your next purchase before December 13th, get $10 in Bonus Rewards," promo going, so double-win!)

At a dementia-addled 80, there's still one last, fast-approaching arbiter of justice he can't escape: Time.

Today is not that day, but perhaps it will be tomorrow.

Said it before will say it again: never used it. Won’t use it. I will go into the woods and become mulch before I use it.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
