She’s going to helm something called Shield?

Yes, it’s pronounced Shield, but it’s spelled HYDRA.

Just popping in to say TCM is currently showing GASLIGHT, and someday one of your kids is gonna write a dissertation of how TCM has been trolling this administration for their ploy-sci class #SOTU

I’m just popping in to say you can’t be the white boy at the Farmers Market in the Black Panther Peoples Food Program t-shirt and also walk by the disabled unhoused black man and not give him *something* (food, money)

I’m popping in to say Prince Andrew wasn’t arrested for child rape, but for handing out Gov’t secrets.

I’m not saying his arrest isn’t a win, I am saying children being raped isn’t vile enough in a patriarchy to warrant arrest.

When I hear people talk about GOP as if it was some different entity than today, I’m like, “what GOP were *you* seeing? Because they’ve always been misogynist/racist/classist”
The difference now isn’t the GOP, it’s we have little to no interest in dealing w/ people w/ a disregard for human life.

Patchwork toy elephant

Patchwork toy elephant

A very giant (18” ) patchwork elephant stuffie. He’s quite heavy, too, because he’s 3/4 stuffed with scrap. 🪡🧵🐘

Fucking yikes!
Now I see it— it’s not just to steal the artists own style, but to taint EVERYTHING with ai, so human art isn’t human, and thus no longer unique 🫠

I think if they go that route you should have two model options: C-3PO or Ex Machina/Companion. Annoying but knowledgeable
or murder femmebot. 🤓

a woman in a black fur coat is sitting on the ground . Alt: Claudia, the eternal muse, in a black fur coat is sitting and shaking her head, Laughing.

You know who was great?

Claudia Cardinale.

Terrific actress, fine human being, never became a fascist. Also extraordinarily beautiful.

She was a feminist and a UNESCO goodwill ambassador.

She died earlier this year. Just remembering her today for no particular reason.

A page of text with  highlight section: These people first received a request to sign a petition that favored “keep California beautiful”. Of course nearly everyone signed, since state beauty, like efficiency in government or sound prenatal care, is one of those issues almost no one is against.

This book was written in 1984.

This goes out to my IATSE kin.
Producers are gonna weaponize getting hired into getting you to work against our contract. Stand together and protect each other. Because all we got is each other. 🎥🎬📽️

Here’s everything you need to know abt Tarantino:
He does not show contemporary indie films at his theaters.

Please let him drop off the face of the earth.

This kitty came into our lives after a local cat rescue, which was overflowing with cats and kittens, refused us an adoption.
My husband got on the internet and found a friend was fostering this moony eyed sweetheart.

The cat distribution system never fails.

fake fur, silk flowers, jingle bells, corduroy, ribbon. The only “new” materials were the red glitter Mystique™️ spandex and some EVA foam/air dry clay.
I hope you get to see it <—🔌🔌🔌

When dir/pro Karole Forman first came to me with this show, little did she know I’m a freak for vintage holiday craft books!
Wanting to evoke past holidays, I used all manner of vintage materials: felt, sequins, both chunky & eyelash glitter, buttons, patchwork, old lace tablecloth, google eyes…

5 star review, “(Linda) Libby is a lively entertainer, keeping us riveted throughout the show’s roughly 90 minutes with her energy, humor and voice, often using props and talking to the audience members, tossing us candy or walking up the aisle with a plate of cookies”

IT’S SHOW DAY here in SoCal!

For the last few months, I have been designing this funny, touching musical and we open tonight!
We’re almost sold out for tonight, but tix are available for the remaining run.

We’re so excited to share our art with you! #MrsChristmasthemusical
