A person whose first object in life is a joke. Avatar: window display in now-defunct local wig shop offering “real/syntactic [sic]” long platinum blond wigs.

my beloved six-year-old dog has a new cancer diagnosis and is very sick. No “No Kings” protest for us today. Solidarity to everyone in the streets, especially those at 1075 West Pender, Vancouver, at 11. No pasarán. #NoKings #NoTyrants

for the clothesline nerds (I know you’re out there; I met several on my former Masto account): I finally found wooden clothespins at a reasonable price https://www.lakeland.co.uk/53230/36-wooden-clothes-pegs and made a peg bag from oilcloth using this lovely pattern https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/c/article/vintage-peg-bag-sewing-pattern. Clotheslines retire your dryer (assuming ur neighbourhood allows; I live in Vancouver’s clothesline central!), look gorgeous and smell even better. No drying yard? Make like Shanghai—use a window dryer. #clotheslines #climate #sustainable
