I got new lipstick. It looks best with a pout. I can't pout anymore, I can only pucker.

I'm gonna put a small skullcap inside to prevent it from slipping forwards, then it should sit fine.

I thought I was gonna look cool like @joqatana.bsky.social, but nah.

I bought a winter hat on the Internet.

It is not optimal.

It is not the #HatOfTheDay.

Black and white photo of pouting woman in a faux fur Russian style hat that is too big.

Spectrum Magazine are particularly terrible for this. I'm sorry they did this to you. I'd never agree to an interview with them. They can link to something I wrote without my permission anyway.

A better photo of the pendant.

No, they're whatever you want them to mean. They are inspired by Mondriaan, Kandinsky and Miró.

No #HatOfTheDay, because it's hairwashing day. Pendants are work in progress, designed by me.

Megan Choritz of South African Jews for a Free Palestine along with women from other organisations at the mourning and solidarity march today.

(The two women at the right are disabled. I stayed back with them until the march turned, because we can't walk far.)

I had a fantastic interesting conversation with a 🇿🇦 national rugby referee on a plane many years ago. He taught me a lot. But because I am not that into rugby, I didn't remember his name. I do know that he also worked for the Post Office.

Today’s Summer Collegiate Baseball #hatoftheday is an Eau Claire Express adjustable cap by Pukka! This throwback cap pays tribute to the Eau Claire Bears, who played at Express’ Carson Park from 1937-62, and featured Henry Aaron, Joe Torre, and Bob Uecker over the years.

I like certain hashtags. They bring positivity and good vibes in this hall of doom which social media can be sometimes.

So, show me your hats 😁🎩🤠👒

Here's one from me for the #hatoftheday

#HatOfTheDay

South Africans talk about the weather constantly when the daytime maximum dips below 15°C. (Unless they live in Underberg or Sutherland, then they just get on with life.)

Hey! I'm Falco, an Autistic disability and queer advocate, author, art hermit, and heart patient!

Struggling with weekly rent and monthly bills! Cannot work, MUST stay housed to survive.

Please read on for shop, sponsor, and support links! I'd love to design custom mandalas or text art for you!

Autumn "maskie" selfie! I'm a pale, genderfluid trans man in a wide-brimmed black fedora, an orange feather in the hat band. My brown hair is tied back in a big bun at the nape of my neck with a purple velvet scrunchie, with a thin braid hanging by my left ear. I wear thin blue spectacles, doubled black facemasks, and a black cloak over a floppy-sleeved brown sweater and a black Star Wars shirt. My necklaces are a metal TARDIS from Doctor Who on a black chain, a silver ankh, and a dogtag-style necklace with Captain America's shield.

Behind me is a red-leaved bush.

My first name, Falco, in my "Grid Lines" design inspired by TRON. Beveled lines create a circuitboard-like font with circles at the ends of each line. The F has extra arms, and the bottom arm links to the A. The O is just one plain circle. All letters are in emerald green with a neon green glow behind it.
