Some Very Good Creatures I Saw in Paintings Yesterday

Black Cat on Orange Background by Alex Katz (a painting of a black cat loafing against an orange background)

The lower-right corner of Confidences by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, which features a fluffy white dog

Close-up of the hare in Hare and Tortoise by Margeurite Thompson Zorach. The hare has its eyes closed and looks very pleased with itself.

Hello I am on honeymoon with the love of my life, and we saw this disco deer at an art museum, and it brought us both joy. Also pictured: us in the museum elevator.

So Allagash Brewery has the best gender-neutral bathroom setup, where it’s one room with fully enclosed toilet stalls and a row of sinks at the front.

But unfortunately that does mean that we were able to count the number of men who didn’t wash their hands after peeing.

KL! Is Here to Burgle Your Turts! 🐢 @momebie.bsky.social · 3d

I regret to inform you that I don't at all regret to inform you that @lizwfab.bsky.social and I started off our honeymoon being fucking adorable.

A photo of two white hands on a tabletop. Liz is wearing an apple watch and their wedding ring, and I'm wearing the spider ring that came in my cocktail over my wedding rings. Because I'm also married to spookiness, obvs.

A picture of a white person with short dark hair, wearing a leopard print dress. Liz is sitting in the booth across from me at a restaurant with their hand on their cheek making an excited face. They're wearing the spider ring from my cocktail on their pinky.

A photo of two white people. I'm on the left with pink hair, a cardigan, overalls, and tank top, hugging Liz over their shoulders. Liz is hugging me with their cheek on my chest, wearing white heart shaped sunglasses.

A photo of two white people on an old trolley. I'm on the left wearing brown overalls, a yellow tank top, and holding a small pumpkin. Liz is on the right wearing a leopard print dress and holding a small pumpkin. We're both smiling for the camera.

10 minutes later, KL is still reading about the speed of snails because they are also 100% neurotypical

Me, a 100% neurotypical person: “academic hiring moves slower than molasses, which moves at 35mph. So probably like the speed of a snail. I wonder how fast a snail moves…hold on lemme find my phone…AH! .03 miles per hour…yeah that feel like the speed of academic hiring.”
