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.

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 😊

Okay

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)

I want to hang with more weirdos, so I'm doing a #promosky

I’m Joe. Artist. Punk. Part dog.

I enjoy:

-Comic books
-Movies
-Horror
-Punk rock
-a dorky sense of humour
-ART

I do not like:

-Gen AI in creative spaces
-Nazi creeps
-anyone who likes yucking people's yums

Joe is standing in a strawberry farm with a bucket of strawberries, wearing baggy shirts, a sleeveless t-shirt with the character Him from Powerpuff girls and gothic text reading HIM. He is wearing a Twin Peaks themed shoulder bag, sunglasses, an orange cap and has a beard and some tattoos.

Four creepy black and white illustrations showing a morbid sensibility. Top left- a woman eating a worm from as bird's mouth as her eyes roll back. Top right a pretty black haired woman beckons as her face is beginning to lift up showing monstrous teeth as a second mouth that outlines her face.
Bottom left, a dark haired woman with a noseless, scarred face regards a pretty mask that floats in front of her face. Bottom right a floating head of a woman with black hair and long tongue screams as her lower jaw is separated from her face.

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”
