I've basically stopped posting but I still get rando middle aged white men following me out of the blue. Bleh. Silly men. Stop it!

There is no way this will get done before Friday but I'm still gonna try. What Halloween themed fandom am I cross stitching???
A cross stitch with lots of little pieces: a teacup, a pair of heron crafting scissors, a dark jug adjacent to a plate of white food with a black topping, a leaf, and a small candy. Vertical stripes of orange are part of an incomplete item

Lots of little bits and bobs on this cross stitch project. Can I finish it before Halloween?? Any guesses as to what spooky fandom this is from??
A cross stitch with a few small pieces completed and guide stitches - a tea cup, a leaf, heron crafting scissors, and something not quite done - a cartoon-y jar?

I couldn’t find the aida I wanted so I tea-dyed this section - super happy with it and excited to get started on my Over The Garden Wall cross-stitch! 🫖🐸
A section of Aida layed flat in a cookie sheet filled with water and loose tea. Connor is poking at it with wooden spatula. The formerly white Aida is looking more grey/redish Two Aida's being compared - one the original white, the other an off-white with slightly reddish undertones. A subtle but effective difference

Little mending project to revitalize the office couch. It’s only my second time doing this style and it’s a relatively 3D area so I’m happy with how it turned out :)

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

I fully expected my brain to need a moment to adjust to my new flat chest but I'm totally in love. This is my first look in the bathroom mirror after surgery this morning - it feels so right 💞💞💞

One shirt down, 4 to go! Really happy with how this turned out. My roommate will add internal pockets after surgery for the drains once we know where to put them to be useful!

Thrifted a bunch of oversized button ups to make my own mastectomy shirts for top surgery. Not entirely sure where to out the pockets for the drains but I'll figure it out!

Sometimes a long meeting requires handcrafts
A coffee mug that says "it would be so nice if something would make sense for a change. -Alice in Wonderland" and a cross stitch project in the early stages - just a grid and a gold boarder. Stickers in the background include wadhi tape of space, a sticky note that says "i could complain but it won't matter", a small sticker that says "fuck." and a sticker with a rainbow that says "READ". Pastel leaf stickers throughout

I'm SUPER late to the last two episodes of Murderbot for a variety of reasons and I was was. not. prepared to be that emotionally wrecked. That final episode was excellent and I hated it

Finally calling this gem done. Thanks @stephxstitch.bsky.social for inspiration which I butchered for my own entertainment ✌🏻🔥🗑️

A cross stitch that says “Maybe everything garbage” with yellow and orange hearts, clouds, and a dumpster fire The original patter from @StephXStitch that says “Maybe everything isn’t garbage” with clouds and a smiling sun My pixel art of a dumpster fire used as the patter for a final piece

I need help y'all. I'm *so mad* at Netflix for all the good queer shit they cancel (most recently devastated by KAOS) and I want to jump ship but Netflix has been my one consistent subscription since the dawn of streaming. Where else do I got for good queer scifi and fantasy?

Watching the first episode of Arcane for the first time and it was like cool cool, art’s interesting, character design’s fun, star-crossed lesbians are great, and THEN the person threw off the veil and pulled out that crazy anime chainsaw. I’m in. How many seasons? Let’s gooooo

It’s tea. This photo actually looks better than it was. I’ve been cleaning this up for 90 min and have cried like 4 times. I’m sticky from crawling into the fridge. So overwhelmed
Open fridge and the floor to the right. There is a long trail of bright red tea down the entire fridge, pooled at the bottom and across the kitchen floor.

I caught up on Murderbot last night after being out of the country for two weeks and it was so good to have two episodes in a row 😭
