Tlönista. Shitposting merrily downward. Weird plant, cat, books lady. Sci-fi, fantasy, art, jazz, etc. Profile photo is a selfie with the bottom half of my face hilariously covered by my cat's. Banner pic is of crows in a tree.

The headline for Tom Cotton's "send in the troops" op-ed where he called for using the military against peaceful civil rights protesters in 2020.

Thank you!! I like the effect very much but the drawing itself could have been a lot better ahaha. I drew it with crayon on tinfoil, etched it in a vinegar soak, and pressed it with litho ink. Messy as hell and here's the second print. It was great! But I'm not going to be doing this at the library
A vaguely inked piece of paper. It's interesting but kind of a mess.

I had actually forgotten for years how passionate I used to be about photo projects. This is a sculpture in Borrego springs, I was going around trying to make Southern California look like another planet
A gigantic cricket silhouetted against a fiery background. It looks apocalyptic, but it is actually the night sky and city lights on a long exposure. The Milky Way is faintly visible over the cricket's wing.

What would my therapist make of this one, you reckon

I nearly forgot the post the update
The same tortoiseshell cat, still asleep but now on her side with her paws stretched straight out in front of her.

Why is she like this
A tiny and very fluffy tortoiseshell cat, peacefully asleep in the cutest possible position, on her back with her front paws in the air.

My dad and awkward cringe will kill me, apparently
A photo of me and my dad. He is wearing a hat and sunglasses. I am squinting like a massive dork. I still don't know where the goddamn lens is!!

Oh I impulse bought one of these little cauldron thingies off Etsy one year because it was cute and kind of witchy looking and it's turned out to be incredibly useful as a holder of small things and a resin incense burner (I put sand in it and burn charcoal on the sand)

I'm ashamed to admit this but I have two formerly feral boys and a feral girl. I'm ashamed because I swore up and down that two was the absolute limit, that there would be no more cats after number two. Here's the original freeloader, Victor, just now (Harley is his cat)
Victor the handsome gray and white cat, the original, fast asleep on a dark red blanket with his paws in the air. He looks blissed out and rather fat.

Oh, he just remembered

You would never believe that just 15 minutes ago she knocked everything off the countertop onto the floor just so she could get to a treat that she didn't even want once she got it

A cartoon of the trolley problem showing someone just blowing up the trolley before it hurts anybody (someone put a hammer and sickle over this particular figure but I don't think you have to be a communist to blow up a bad faith train)

Extreme no makeup close up selfie from just now incoming. I labeled it "graphic" so you can be spared if you don't want to see my mug this close
An extreme close up of my morning face without makeup. It's not the most flattering shot but my complexion is very clear

its fine, will be fun
An email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Linda Stone. She says: "I'm not sure it would be a good option to live in the US for a Trump/Pence presidency with Bannon as a key advisor. Am I wrong? The hate, the antisemitism (swastika painted all over the park a few blocks from me) and "His" desire to be Putin… All super concerning." His response is: "its fine, will be fun"

I painted a fan art painting of one of my cats in the style of Matisse last week that staved off a breakdown and here she is in real life
An amateurish painting of a demonic looking tortoiseshell cat looking gleeful and chaotic with a pink, orange, and green background. It is an attempt to imitate the style of Matisse A tiny chaotic tortoiseshell cat in real life. She is asleep upside down on a blanket with her paws on the air and her eyes open.

Oh yes and also: it's big 😂
Me, proudly holding my painting of Bella the cat. It is a rather large painting; the cats head is as large as my own. My t-shirt also has a painting of a cat on it. I am covered in paint.
