Porch piccy. Yeah this one took me a while to do!
Chelsea and Millie look out to beyond the frame from their back porch. Their cat Gershwin is running down the steps. Chiquita is also lokking out beyond, from inside.

Social Media is a dried-up corpse of what it once was, and I keep forgetting that I have a mailing list! There are some projects coming up in 2026 that I'm VERY excited to talk about -Sign up so I can tell you about them.

Chiquita in the Library.
More description in the alt text.
Here we see Chiquita Nereida Zapatero y Hernandez atop a chair in the Gish house library. This library contains a fair few arcane books, not least of which are several grimoires, some old, some new(er). Chiquita has studied these books many, many times over. Chiquita's parents (Cristóbal and Natividad) used to live in quarters outside this house over 150 years ago, in the employ of one Ephraim Ravenclaw Esq., the house's original owner. Chiquita's parents were practitioners of Brujeria (indeed, the reason why they ended up at the Ravenclaw Manor has something to do with some bad stuff going down in their home in Guadalajara, Mexico, and their subsequent need to get out of town and find a new life incognito as far away from home as possible). There used to be an old well out the back of the Ravenclaw house. Chiquita fell in to it one day when she was 6 years old, and drowned. Chiquita's parents desperately tried to bring her back to life using an old resurrection spell, but unfortunately they botched it, leaving Chiquita's spiritual form trapped between this world and the next, forever stuck haunting this house, tethered indefinitely to the house and its grounds. Unable to leave. She's been stuck like this for over 150 years, permanently in spectral child form but with a mind of a very old woman*. Her parents have long since died and their spirits moved on to wherever souls go when they depart this plane of existence, leaving their beloved daughter behind. Chiquita hopes one day to find within these pages a way to break free of her supernatural confinement, although no means of release seems to be found in these dusty ol' tomes. But maybe hope is at hand. She's heard there is a new grimoire in the reference section of the town library, which may well contain the key to her release. She has decided she may well have to trick the kids who now live in this house into purloining that book for her. *No wonder she's always so ill-tempered.

Foreground: quite probably the greatest croissant I have ever eaten in my life (well, I ate half of it, Julie ate the other half). Background: Mabel eyes this delightful pastry like a great white eyeing a cream-filled seal.

This is a doomscrolling checkpoint. Post a bird, cat, or dog, and go drink some water.

Take that, dimetrodon
Apparently this image is from a set of trading cards (1988 vintage). The image shows a bunch of Soviet troops, tanks, fighter jets and a helicopter attacking a giant dimetrodon (295 million years ago vintage). The jet near the top left appears to be giving up and going home. In the background we see some onion-topped-style buildings. Gasp! Has the Kremlin been attacked by this lumbering prehistoric beast? Possibly! Will the Russkies' rickety yet superior firepower win the day? Probably! Should the Russians get the fuck out of Ukraine? Absolutely.

Absolutely pissing down out there and I'll need to leave the house soon to go pick up my wife. Glad I bought a new raincoat today. It's a Georgie-style raincoat. Because it looks like this.
Georgie Denbrough from It. That poor bastard. Just wanted to sail his boat didn't he.

I had dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets for lunch. Because no matter what adult-like sophistication I may *think* I've been dressing myself up in over the past few decades, my inner child remains the one who's really running the show here.
