Hello, new people!

Hi, I’m MJ. I’m one of those artist types. I make things with my hands, draw silly pictures, write sexy stories, write spooky stories, and I also take self portraits a lot.

Posts to expect: vinyls, muppets, cute animals, pretty portraits, more muppets, and bad jokes.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Aw thanks 😊

MJ Mackenzie @redheadmuppet.bsky.social · 15h

Okay

MJ Mackenzie @redheadmuppet.bsky.social · 15h

That feeling where if something good doesn’t happen, like now, you might truly go insane.

Even just a small something.

Pretty please.

Finishing this really helped too.

My record collection is mostly inherited from people I’ve lost and so it’s also become a way that I heal when suffering loss.

I’m still struggling to navigate a very recent loss, but I’m happy to have reached the stage that I know putting on this album will help heal me. At least a little.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

My cat is 18 years old, she’s not getting onto any of my shelves. But it’s hard to have plants and cats, fully agree.

Meme about the difference between alligators and crocodiles:

WHAT'S the difference between the Alligator and Crocodile?

The difference is in the shape of their jaws.
Alligators eat babies in an A shape.
Crocodiles eat babies in a C shape.

(there is a helpful illustration of the mouth shape relative to a baby for each one)
