The wild Beckybot 2000 thrives on chaos. They make multimedia jewelry, teach kids with disabilities, and spend a lot of time at home wrangling cute furry critters.

Graphic design of a cartoonish possum snarling, large all caps text says FIRST OF ALL, I'M A DELIGHT

A multimedia jewelry pendant of various materials strapped to a silver hoop with wire. Shell spikes, glass and metal leaves, gold electroplated quartz spike, roses and bell flowers in glass, resin, and silver metal surround a half transparent half black glass skull. The overall effect is a macabre floral bouquet, or finding a skull on a garden walk. The color palette is warm tones of beige, bronze, cream, and rose, with a hint of plum.

A classroom door decorated for Fall. Blue background with cute nocturnal critters (fox, bat, owl, etc) cut from colored paper and a full moon. Colorful text reads "things that go bump in the night." A row of cheerful orange jack o'lanterns lines the bottom.

A black kitten with warm gold eyes and head tilted to the left. He looks inquisitive and mildly fluffy. He is trouble.

Our release for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social was a wild success. Half the items were gone by day one. I still have three weeks to Halloween and spooky stuff I'd love to move.

i said to someone that talking about AI is a little like you've hired a shitty magician to perform at your kid's birthday party and also he has a gun. like many parts of his act are a fucking farce but also he might kill you and that's not because he's a fucking ✨amazing magician✨

Made some motherfucking BREAD, butter better look out in this house.

A golden brown loaf of bread in a large bread pan, sitting on a bamboo cutting board. It is not the prettiest, but it looks delicious imo.

Hill: Do you think it's good enough to sell?

Me: uh, YES are you out of your mind

H: I don't know...

Me: SHUT UP AND GIVE HER TO ME.

Moral: A big bitch is never too big, you just need to give her a big enough chain to sit on.

I love mixing textures. This necklace features a smooth polished dendritic opal hand-wrapped in wire and hung alongside rough chunks of black lavastone. It's black, it's white, it's haunting you when you sleep.

Okay witches, I'm proud of the things I made for this collection so I'm going to brag a little.

Look at this slinky bitch guarding her enormous ruby hoard. She sexy AF. All the components are sterling except for the snake, which is a high quality alloy.

While I love a good Robin Hood moment in theory, in practice this was not the magnanimous act we would have wanted. Free advice to future Robin Hoods:
-slow down, this is an endurance race
-leave a document trail for plausible rigor
-know your narcs & throw them under the bus at every opportunity

The thing that sucks about this is that the VA doesn't fuck around with "oops my bad, you can just keep what you already got." I guarantee that they're going to go back in and revoke all those benefits, and make the recipients pay back every cent. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...
