🚨 perSISTER in progress for Mother (is a verb) Day. In which it is demonstrated that every pronoun can do that verb. What do you think might go in the glass that Marsha is holding?
Plans:
The Creatrix will be staffing The Female Power Outlet Friday AND Saturday (4/19 & 20) while Apocalypse Barbie 🦇👑 goes to her Apocalypse Barbie Conference.
Then on Sunday 4/21 find the Female Power Hut at @easternmarket_dc 💃🎪 on 7th St SE between C and North Carolina 🌞

There are only two weekends left to see @artomatic_dc and you shouldn't miss it. My work is in Room 5027, 5th floor. I've posted the map already many times.

I went into my yard. There was rumbling of thunder

I went into my yard. There was rumbling of thunder far off with clouds to the west. The tree peonies are blooming! I've never seen so many flowers on this plant before. There are eight open and three still in bud. The cultivar is called "Leda". My phone can't capture the slight dustiness of this pink, and the adjustments can't match it. Remarkably, the actual flower color tends toward the mauve color in the third photo that shows one of the frescoes newly discovered in the ruins at Pompeii. The fresco depicts Leda and the swan. The swan is really Zeus, of course.
" . . . Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?"
--W.B. Yeats
