Cinnamon rolls have been a Thanksgiving tradition for Mike and I since our 1st holiday together. This year was a new recipe, Faster Cinnamon Rolls from America's Test Kitchen. It used a mix of yeast and baking powder & a single 30-minute rise in the pan. Very light for and fluffy results!

It's far from done, but I'm happy so far with how this #watercolor painting of Ingrid Vantablack Von Zoomy Cat is coming out. Going to call it here for the day, and come back to it later.

Reposting, now with added news that I'll be donating some signed books to the silent auction to benefit Studio Theatre Worcester and its local playwright development efforts.
Sharing from other platforms because Studio Theatre Worcester isn't on Bluesky.
Full event info is in the alt text, but basically, it's a fundraiser to support the development of new plays by local creators, especially those from under-represented communities. #Worcester #CentralMA #theater

Massachusetts - Representative Joseph McKenna thinks using the military against US citizens is just fine. Vote him out in 2026.

Oh, hey! That was a good photo shoot.
A blast from my past. Back when my wife @empheliath.bsky.social had her own business making period clothing for Renaissance faires, she rounded up some folks, including me & our friend @jmacfierce1.bsky.social, for a photo shoot for promotional purposes. This is a favorite shot (by Eric Tetreault).

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If you haven't done so already, you should place that holiday gift order with a small business/artist TODAY.
Between the reduction in flights, which will affect domestic air freight, and the fact small businesses are not Amazon that have tons of stock, it's a you-snooze-you-lose situation. (1/)

Vacation is over, & I'm back to the office. It's election day. Here's some #art from a more hopeful time. This #watercolor is called "Rag Doll Man Goes to a Rally" & is for sale in my Ko-Fi shop. If purchased, I will donate the proceeds to a worthy progressive cause. #bsnm

Vacation day...something. It's a flashback day, because I realized never posted any pictures from Peaks Island, in Portland. Two of these I may turn into paintings later.
