Had a good hike up thunder mountain today. Saw some great birds. Killed my phone battery, literally, it was at 2% by the time we got to the bottom. 10/10, would hike again.

As someone who grew up in Modesto, LMAO.
This might be the cutest portulaca to ever exist.
Sorry I don’t have an “on surveillence,” do you?
I voted for Kamala and I hope against hope that in the next 3 years democrats come up with someone better than Newsom.
Because democrats like to claim they have the moral high ground.

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920, barring voting discrimination based on sex. But for women of color, the right to vote wasn’t fully realized until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 105 years later, we're still fighting for equal ballot access for all.

Hey Tuolumne county, keep an eye out.
There's 66 days until Halloween.
Progress continues on my miniature movie night. I think I’ll need a bigger base.
I think I’ll skip watering the garden today ☔️
The miniature movie night is getting better and better.
Working on a movie night hair clip and thinking up ideas for miniatures for the coming holidays.
I don't know if I've mentioned lately but I make costume accessories so if you're looking for something new for Halloween or to brighten up your day come winter... archaeopterknits.etsy.com <-That's me. Everything on there is hand made, by me, here in northern California.
And then when it takes weeks to get the results, he can shout foul and claim the numbers are rigged.
I made a new sticker! I have some new cat poses to work on too but this sitting up one is just so easy to add accessories to. Today Louis is going birding. Don't dare suggest she has ulterior motives.
I think feeling like an imposter is a requirement for being an artist. We’re all faking it.
I've been MIA lately, family stuff, but I'm working on getting back at it and I just added a new emo cat sticker to Redbubble 🐈⬛🖤 cswrawr7.redbubble.com
Am I the only person in the world who actually liked The Lost World? I mean, I wouldn't rank it above Jurassic Park but I definitely thought it was better than the third one.
New social media idea: e-bird with live updates as your friends are birding. Maybe a space for commenting on their finds. Too niche? I really just want to vicariously follow my sisters Mount Whitney hike tonight 😆
When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.
Oh shoot
I always go a bit overboard starting tomato seeds in spring but it pays off during summer 🍅 ❤️
Fuck mike Lindell and his shitty pillows.
FLASHBACK: “I am a goal for those people. If I’m not up there untaxed… they’ve got nothing to dream about.” Colbert was incredible. Since CBS doesn’t appreciate him maybe he should go back to this genius character? We could sure use it now. 🇺🇸 H/T @rbreich.bsky.social
The "Thought Police" are enacting Orange Julius Caesar's objectives... The National Park Service has taken down an exhibit at Muir Woods National Monument that it has referred to as “improper ideology” under a directive from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. www.sfgate.com/california-p...
It may be July but this week feels like FALLLLLL. No seriously, it was 80 degrees yesterday, that's October in California. There's 99 days until Halloween and I can't wait. (Obligatory link : cswrawr7.redbubble.com )
If you like to count down to things then you should know: there are 100 days until Halloween. 😱👻🎃 I'm prepping by watching Friday the 13th and working on a Funshine Care Bear Beanie, I already made a Cheer Bear: archaeopterknits.etsy.com/listing/4336...
Quick, someone invite me to a Summerween party. I made a witchy work table hair clip and I need somewhere to wear it.

I’m not sure that picture really does the amount of effort I put into them justice, so here’s two more.
I saw a picture of miniature books on a barrette and thought that was pretty cool. So I started thinking about miniatures I could put on hair clips. But I can’t quite figure out how to fasten them onto the clip. So in the meantime, I made s’more earrings.
The perfect birthday cake doesn’t exi—
Good Saturday Morning!
Colbert's show will end 20 years after he pissed off everybody in Washington by sticking it to Bush and the shitty DC press corps to their faces.

CBS claiming that cancelling Colbert is purely financial after he's been openly critical of their kowtowing to Trump. They must think we're all stupid.
This happened Thursday morning, 7/17, at Home Depot, Florin Road in Sacramento. Disgusting…They cover their faces like vile pigs. Chinga la Migra @50501sacramento.bsky.social #50501 #50501Movement #EyesOnICE #ChingaLaMigra #Peoplesmovement #thepeoplesmovement

"require the state to verify proof of citizenship when a person registers to vote" Some people don't realize it but your driver license doesn't prove citizenship. This will require something like a passport which makes it a $130 poll tax (more if you need a copy of your birth certificate).
Happy Wednesday. There's 106 days until Halloween, for anyone who wants to enjoy some fun horror rather than current event horror. Also, I make costumes: archaeopterknits.etsy.com
She was labeled Havanese. She’s a bit bigger ~22 pounds so definitely mixed with something else.
awww people suck. She was found running down the street. She'd been fixed and wasn't too badly matted so we've always assumed someone lost her. Did they say what breed they thought he was?
He and my moms dog look so similar, they could almost be cousins. lol She came from Bradshaw 10 years ago.
This! Resist!

If I could, I’d eat nothing but pizza every day. 🍕
Rosie O’Donnell on Donald Trump (2006): “He annoys me on a multitude of levels. He’s the moral authority — left the first wife, had an affair. Left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass.”
EVERYone has skills to bring to the resistance. 🧶 What’s yours?
Redbubble gives you a bunch of different items you can add graphics to and... I really thought this was a children's dress so i was like sure, a bird dress, why not. but then it showed the preview and... yep. That's a thing.
It’s officially tomato season.
Is masked men restraining people and demanding to see their paperwork what's going to make us great? Is THIS the America that we're supposed to be proud of?
Today I made a back to school bird 😄 cswrawr7.redbubble.com
I made a beach bird sticker 🏖️🐦 (I then made a list of all the different places and things a bird might do, so, more to come LOL) cswrawr7.redbubble.com
Someone’s been hanging out with Russell Brand.
In a bit of good news for Californians, my neighborhood HOA president is absolutely furious because the state has passed a law capping HOA fines at $100. Love this for us.
Doing a happy dance because I managed to sprout a freesia from seeds I collected. 🤞 I can keep it alive for a delicious smelling spring in a year or two.
Fourth Of July
Oooooof been there 😭
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Oh sure sure, fireworks etc, but how is your Summerween going? Have you watched any Summer horror? Friday the 13th? The Ruins? Jaws? Made a s’more out of a fun sized candy bar? There’s 118 days (17 weekends) to Halloween 😱 (Painting available on Etsy -> archaeopterknits.Etsy.com )
I will continue to flight to flip the House. Not because I want to own MAGA, but because I want them to have access to healthcare and a livable wage. Everyone should.
lol at that asshole tom mcclintock sending out mass response emails full of lies after voting to gut medicaid. Fuck you very much mcclintock, can't wait to see your downfall.
Nah.
#ProudBlue This is AMAZING!! She is so right. Take party out of it. We as a whole country need to stand & fight. There are way more of us. These people work for us!!
I needed a break from the two books I’m currently reading so I picked up the next one in my pile and 😐 a timely choice but maybe not a good bedtime story. (Dark money: the hidden history of the billionaires behind the rise of the radical right by Jane Meyer)
Badass Congresswoman AOC breaks down the fascist MAGA tax scam and calls it out for the evil greedy money laundering scheme that it is. We need more of this.
The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.
I’m not sure we should give them any ideas about housing the homeless in cages 😬
Really unnerving seeing photos of the US's shiny new concentration camp. Everyone ready to celebrate the 4th?🤨
When I see Elon Musk and Trump insulting each other I don’t think “Haha yes” I think “those men shut down soup kitchens and many babies and children died as a result”
Weekend work in progress. I got this little wood box at Daiso. The rocking horse at the Lodi miniature show. The wallpaper from Bloomsbury. I made the tree with wire and yarn and the fireplace is paperboard from a box. Oh and the floor is veneer. So many Xmas decorations to come.
This video from @hankgreen.bsky.social is a great metaphor and description of what I think has happened to the Internet, and our overall "consumption" of information, no matter how nutritious or empty the calories of information we consume are. youtu.be/9euKCrTyMEc?...
I have a garden bed that has some celosia that reseeds itself every year and it just gets weirder and more alien with each generation. I love it.
Last night I was looking around thinking about what I could make in miniature. So I made a roll of paper towels 😆 I probably should have done the math since it’s a bit big but I’m happy with how it turned out.
As the weather heats up, I find myself dreaming of fall. The way I've been getting ideas for ways to celebrate "Summerween," let me tell you. Bring on the horror movies, the fun size candy bars, and the chrysanthemums. I also put a new sticker on redbubble: cswrawr7.redbubble.com
Woah! That's beautiful!
Oh non! S'il vous plait, pas Paris! On a peut-etre des vacances et trop de boulangeries. mdr
All these cliche Billionaire James Bond (really more Austin Powers) villains and not a single one is willing to be a Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark. How is it I came away from spy novels and movies and superhero cartoons with a different set of morals and ethics?

My miniature art studio was starting to feel a bit cluttered, so I built a couple corner shelves 🤗
My niece recently got a tamagotchi and it took me right back to being in elementary school and mine dying of starvation surrounded by piles of poop everyday while I was at school. I wonder why millennials have so much anxiety 🤔 cswrawr7.redbubble.com
Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
Speaking of which, a message from my burn out: I made miniature boxes of truffles for my partially made chocolate shop. They're made from cardstock, tissue paper, beads, and paint.
Listening to a podcast this evening, artists talking about their work and they both mentioned that they can't do creative work for more than 3-4 hours in a day without burning out. Do you have any idea how many time I've beat myself up for not being able to paint 10 hours straight? 🤯
