Swing Left is an established group that helped the Democrats take the House in the 2018 election. Instead of focusing on one specific candidate or location, Swing Left divides donations strategically to competitive races within the House and Senate. I do not work for, nor was I approached by Swing Left to do this, I chose them after research on various organizations helping the current election.

Some other election tips! 🗳
-Make sure you’re registered to vote. ✔️
-If voting by mail, drop your ballot off at a designated ballot drop off location or mail in extra early due to the fucking Trump has been doing with USPS. 📮
-If voting in person, request a paper ballot! If the line is long DO NOT go home and do not get out of line. Democracy hangs in the balance and is in your hands. Wear your mask and practice social distancing! 😷

Thank you in advance for your donation and participation! Please feel free to share via stories.🧡Happy Halloween!

I am about to be completely open and honest and al

I am about to be completely open and honest and also a bit harsh. And honestly this may not be that well written. As many of you know last Friday Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed away. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I basically fell off the face of the earth, crying almost constantly, unable to get out of bed, look at my phone, let alone talk to anyone or blog. I’ve been low on energy, happiness, faith in humanity, and more since the last presidential election, add in all of the rest of the shit show that 2020 has been, including smaller personal struggles. THEN feminists across the US lose their champion!? Justice Ginsberg was everything. I honestly don’t have words to form how influential she has been to every single woman, even if they don’t know it. Her passing reignited anger I had toward friends and family who chose not to vote, voted third party, or voted for Trump. So I’ve been basically either fuming or crying. I’m trying to get back on my feet, but it’s really rough, and slow going, especially with the outcome regarding Breonna Taylor. But look for a fundraising giveaway tomorrow. In the meantime make sure you’re fucking registered to vote.

Special shout out to @simplyadorabell for aiding in making a replica of RBG’s iconic dissent collar awhile back.

On the evening of September 18, 1971, former Byrds

On the evening of September 18, 1971, former Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers member, Gram Parsons took his last breath in room 8 at the Joshua Tree Inn. His friends, unable to resuscitate him, called an ambulance and he was rushed to High Desert Memorial Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival at 12:15 am, September 19, 1971. He was only 26, one of many rock stars to die young due to drugs and alcohol. Later Phil Kaufman, his friend and manager would steal his body from LAX where it was en route to New Orleans to be buried. Kaufman claimed he and Parsons made a deal to be “burned in the desert” instead of a standard funeral, and was fulfilling that promise. In a borrowed hearse he took Parsons’ body to Cap Rock inside Joshua Tree National Park, poured gasoline into the casket and set it aflame. Today many, including myself, make pilgrimages to both the Inn, where the mirror is the only original piece of furniture still present from Gram’s stay, and Cap Rock to pay their respects to a trailblazer of the music industry. Few have as calming of a voice to me as Gram. Honestly Orville Peck is the only person who has come close and oddly enough the two have extremely opposite voices, Gram had a higher voice while Orville is a deep baritone but both create the same soothing vibe for me.

As if things haven’t been dark enough one of my icons has died. Dame Diana Rigg, who I was first introduced to as a child through The Avengers (no, not Marvel) the amazing British spy show with a dash of surrealism. I was 9 I think. Maybe 12. I fell in love with all of Mrs. Peel’s outfits and how badass she was overall. Rigg went on to become the only Mrs. James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, played Vincent Price’s daughter in Theatre of Blood, became a Halloween staple with The Worst Witch, and is the reason I actually watched Game of Thrones, where she stole the entire show. Of course her filmography is much longer than just these selections but these are ones that were formative for me as a child and my favorite role of hers later in her life. Here is to you Dame Diana Rigg.

For the last month I’ve been working on the spoo

For the last month I’ve been working on the spooky addition to the town of Catnip Junction for Colonel Whiskers. Unlike the previous two establishments that were inspired by various sources, this one is more of a direct interpretation of the Greyson Boarding House from the episode “Bad Luck Betty” of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. which was inspired by Psycho and used the real Psycho house on the Universal lot. I did paint the Catnip Saloon though through the window in the dining room. Swipe for more details and screenshots from the episode.

If Star Wars Celebration were happening I would be chilling with my Coven on Batuu...But instead we are having our very own virtual #galaticcovengala as part of our #galaticcovenvc . If you’ve been following along over at @galactic_coven I hope you enjoyed us sharing our Star Wars stories and favorite small shops! ✨ I will fully admit I’m sad Star Wars Celebration isn’t happening (at least this year! It has been moved to 2022) I am v glad that the choice was made to keep Guests safe. We are all in this together. Remember, be like Mando, don’t take your mask off in front of others. This is the way. Stay safe and may the Force be with you.

While most of my Halloween decor is kitsch from 30

While most of my Halloween decor is kitsch from 30s-70s, I have a handful of more elegant macabre elements. I always get in a weird headspace while decorating and sometimes I just want to go full tilt in this direction.

Time has no meaning so why not start Halloween ear

Time has no meaning so why not start Halloween early? Patrick and I hauled in the Halloween boxes yesterday. We also came up with some new ideas for displaying some decor and I’m super excited! Can’t wait to share it all soon!
