More photos to come, but here's my fav photo from the 2023 Chicago Steampunk Expo: a steampunk tonberry agreed to a doink! I missed their name, but if you're out there, magnificent tonberry, feel free to give a shout-out! #finalfantasy #tonberry #steampunk #Chicago

@harlansemporium @veleda_k Yes, we will both be there! ...I am lame and have seen neither, but @veleda_k has seen the first season of both! I need to get on seeing things!!

@FishWithATopHat @veleda_k 2 questions: Will you both be at this weekend's Chicago Steampunk Exposition? Have you seen Good Omens? Bonus question: have you seen Our Flag Means Death? #SteampunkArt #Steampunk

Delivery company is coming Friday to deliver my Very Expensive Couch. They've decided my name is "Jesscia Bares," which is a misspelling of BOTH my first and last names. The #DnD crew has determined that this is better than my real name anyway.

Every time I tell my dad I'm going to come visit he always says, "You know Mom will love that!" Even though Mom spends 90% of my visits in her room and Dad and I usually game the whole time. 🤣

DM has decided he'd be one of those annoying tent doors that flops all over the place and never properly closes.

Current discussion at D&D is What Kind of Door Would You Be? I'd be a red door. We also have a "sighing door from Hitchhiker's Guide" and one of those fancy door with a long handle and inlaid glass.

What's your favorite comfort show? I have a deep love of Columbo, even though it aired well before my time! I still watch it at least once a week. #art #Columbo #justonemorething

I'm pretty sure your Monday needs a walking house. I got you covered. ✨ #art #artshare #fantasyart

PT office on the phone, filling out intake info: Oh, how did you hear about us? Me, having no idea what their office name even is: I said I needed to see someone to my doc, they said they knew someone great, and then I waited and you called. True story.
