Having an absolute shit week? Me, too. Pay my kid $15 and they’ll send out a custom-made art parcel (via mail) with original art, unique vinyl decals, and other fun things that might help you not want to light more shit on fire. Iris is on Etsy and IG. Support artists’ work. Musicians too. Thx.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

@petermulvey43.bsky.social performing a perfect candlelit house concert in Toledo was exactly what I needed last night. It felt like a beautifully scored group therapy session as we all brace for tomorrow’s madness. Thanks, Peter. And thank you to the hosts: Over Yonder Concerts in Toledo.

I never post about food on socials because I’m whatever is the opposite of a “foodie.” I even hate that word. I could live quite happily on toast, pomegranate seeds, and Diet Coke. But now I’ll add posh Pea Soup to that list. Even the flowers were edible.
