Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Fergus and Francie. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908. Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

I've just been going through her instagram. Really astonishing stuff - it's hard to wrap my mind around capturing such complexity in frickin embroidery thread. I found this in-progress image: www.instagram.com/p/CPQociRrYR...

I'm just very photosensitive because of lupus. Like, I have to wear long pants/sleeves all summer and have driving gloves to protect my hands in the car. I just want a tinted sunscreen for the extra protection. www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tinted-...

I wonder if I could try that. I'm terribly immunosuppressed, so do they have little single-use sample packets? Or I could put it inside my forearms, maybe. I feel awful trying and returning all these things, I'd rather sample and be done.

Thank you! I tried this Cerave that was suppposed to blend with all skin tones and my boyfriend and I were dying laughing up at the Trump-colored mask it gave me. www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Sunsc...

Thanks! I've tried and returned so many at this point that I'm willing to spend a little more for something that works.

I've been searching PaleMUA! So many people recommended this in "fair" but it's too dark for me. :( www.target.com/p/australian...

I live in a landlocked state and never swim anywhere so I don't think that's an issue for me. And they don't seem to have tinted sunscreens.

Right but that narrows it down to millions of products. I'm looking for specific recommendations.

I don't really want to wear full-blown foundation. Just sunscreen with a little tint for the extra protection.

Okay this is a long shot but does anyone know of a tinted sunscreen that blends with super pale skin? The ones I've tried labeled fair, light, and neutral look brownish orange on me. I need something that's for serious vampire people. Just ONE product, I won't mix multiple things together. Thanks!

Francie is here with a BLEP vs. MLEM tutorial. A blep is when the tongue is just hanging out at rest, stationary. Mlem is an action word for when the tongue is performing a licking motion - hence the name which is an onomatopoetic interpretation of the sound it makes.

McDonalds has tried very hard to put a restaurant there. A legal battle in the 90s almost went all the way to the Vt supreme court before they finally gave up.

Someone provided this info! It may have been the illustrator putting in a sly credit. bsky.app/profile/jiji...

Sorry the image is wonky, I was awkwardly trying to take a photo of it from another book I have (not the actual original book) because I don't have a scanner. I'M DOING MY BEST OKAY.

The White Cat, fairy tales translated by Marie Catherine La Mothe, Countess d’Aulnoy in 1698. This version was published in 1847 but unfortunately the illustrator is identified only as “J.W.”

Williston. I don't think there has ever been a Walmart in Burlington.

Things I would vote for over RFK jr: - couch detritus - literally any goldfish - mysterious clump of damp twine - piñata full of wasps - stained mattress in the woods
 - half can of flat Dr. Pepper - discarded bandaid lying on a public bathroom floor

I think fast food restaurants just don't do as well here as other states in general, not just Taco Bell. We have no Chik-fil-a, no Sonic, no Dairy Queen, no Panda Express, etc. We're the only state without a McDonalds in our capital city.
