Chris, 19

“Incorporating the old is a thought I keep in mind with every outfit I wear. Whether that be something I’ve thrifted or something passed down, there’s a certain quality in wearing clothes from a bygone age. This look is inspired by a 1897 Sargent portrait of socialite Edith Minturn Stokes. Elements of early 20th century fashion can be seen, notably the pleated shirt and pillbox hat. This piece is meant to emulate a bird - the black crowned night heron to be exact!”

For reference, the portrait that inspired Chris:

Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Phelps Stokes, 1897

And here’s a black-crowned night heron:

two cats story from earlier tonight: I was out walking my cat (in his backpack) and looked across the street and saw Another cat (same color palette as my cat) sharpening its claws on a small tree. and we all watched each other for a little while and then went on our ways. three cheers for When There Is A Little Cat, or Even Two.

okay crucially what color is your cat. and what color is his backpack

irl viral short story The Crane Wife moment where i saw a kittycat snoozing in a chair on a porch four hours ago on my walk into town and just now on my walk back i was talking to myself like I would love to see the cat again but we have to accept it's probably not there—wait that's too negative! there's every chance it will be there! and i came upon the porch again and there were TWO kittycats

[sleepnoises]

you gotta imagine the other one but you get the gist (this photo is from june 29 2024, the third time we went by the cats' house)

one of my classic "boring posts"

my pareidolia has been more sensitive than usual lately -- a couple near-flinch reactions when i read a shape as human, then the realization it's not -- i thought i saw a cat yesterday and as i walked closer it was gone. "hm. a bag again :(" i thought.

wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two cats! moving around on their alive little legs!!!
