Me: With cardboard? I don't think that would do very well in space.
Child (with utmost disdain): you don't know that's not magic cardboard.
And ya know what, they're right. I didn't check that the cardboard wasn't magic before I doubted its ability to go to space.
Walking a child to the door after their lesson:
Child: that's a lot of boxes in that yard!
Me: yeah, it is. Maybe they're moving.
Child: Or maybe they're building a rocket ship!
"No, Firelord Ozai, YOU'RE not wearing pants!"

I have entered my very detailed self employment income and expenses into tax software that then decided to sign me out and delete the info, not once, but TWICE 😡🤬😵💫😭
I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.
It's wild to me that in "Jekyll & Hyde" Emma is considered the "good girl" and Lucy the "bad girl." Literally Emma talks back to authority and flouts convention and breaks rules every time she speaks; Lucy is just trying to do her job and not die, but she happens to be a sex worker so she's "bad."
But thank goodness he explained it to me, or however would I have known what was happening? /s
As a femme presenting person, I've heard my share of strange pickup lines, catcalls, etc. But tonight was the first time I got "HEY! A man is flirting with you!" Um...do you think that means I owe you attention? Cause I don't. No one does.
The nonbinary pride nails are here!
I use nail art to ground myself. The process of decorating my nails is meditative and forces me to slow down. Later, I can look at them when I'm hurting and see something beautiful that I made.
If you're feeling frozen right now, I hope you find a sparkle ✨

That glorious feeling when you're getting ready for rehearsal and realize that over half of your outfit was thrifted and gifted by @sarahsuffocated.bsky.social 💜

Text reads "In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk as fuck. Be punk as fuck." Text is black typeface on a white block over a background of nature imagery
Be punk as fuck.

Do I put this on a shirt?
3 rats snuggling inside a pink carrier, with a purple blanket. One rat is grey, one is white, and one is partially hairless with black and white patches of fur.
Little Freddy had to go back to the vet, so we also took his brothers for moral support.

Light skinned hands work light blue- purple nails. The ring finger has dark purple wavy lines on it.
I did freehand nail art!
This is Mooncat (of course) Sweet Nightmare base color with Queen of Chaos art.

I personally find it more palatable when I mentally pronounce "female" like "tamale."
I still have a shelf of the magic school books, and I don't read them but also don't want to put them out into the world. Should we make art from the pages? IDK
I think the consensus baseline is "don't give the POS more money." But I still haven't figured out what to do with previously purchased books that I no longer enjoy. I think you're still okay to enjoy them privately without giving more money or encouraging new readers, but I can't enjoy them.
I feel called out
Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:
DO NOT USE TURBOTAX.
THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.
Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...
Okay who wants to do this with me? We duel at a reasonable hour after dawn!
Yes, my cat is extremely cute. (And so are my slippers.) You're welcome.

Being an actor/singer is so wild. Because on the one hand, we're told "have a thick skin" and constantly rejected. but on the other hand we're supposed to be vulnerable and expressive, and if we're at all closed off behind a thick skin, it means we're not good at the job. It's wild.

Loving this view every time I start my morning yoga! #newtattoo #iolanthewenttoliveamongthefrogs #iolanthe #fairyfrog
Oh noes! We'll have to adopt the bag with a tail until we can find the cat.
