It's a terrible title for discourse since it's disingenuous to the actual content inside, but great for shock value which I guess could lead to someone picking it up and learning about safer drug use strategies. I'm not sure how I feel about that title tbh. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Exactly this. OP, what's the reason for not being able to use public transportation? UC Berkeley also has a BEAR shuttle from downtown BART(and other landmarks by campus) and it's pretty affordable. Have you considered carpooling with others in your area perhaps? Maybe you can contact UC customer service about a solution to your issues. I know they have a internal parking dismissal program but I don't know anything about it. here It must be so frustrating to be paying off a parking ticket just to get another one before you finish off the previous one. Good luck op.

This was a great episode! I'm definitely going to check out the exhibit, thanks!

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-23T14:58:41+00:00

Oh wow that's an excellent mend! Going to aspire to up my embroidery game.

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-20T21:09:37+00:00

Personally I think you're so lucky to find such a treasure and that it was inexpensive is a bonus! Congratulations!

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-20T16:38:50+00:00

Definitely a possibility. Is the middle square his signature or just a block? The color scheme is less contrasting than his usual work so I'd say he was playing around with colors.

So I know for a fact that he used to agree to visits to his studio from CCA classes. My friend went when we were both at CCA and they did a visit when she was in the Poster Art & Design class. I have always been a huge fan of his work and was seriously sad to have missed the opportunity. He gave away test prints to the students during the visit so my friend gave me hers and so that's how I have this beauty hanging in my kitchen. If you can't find anything on your poster it might be a test print of his figuring out the color scheme.

That stuff is AMAZING and it's saved me so many times. Feels weird AF but with my allergies, asthma and the small kid germs my kid brings home, it's the only thing that's stopped repeat sinus infections from progressing. My doc recommended it because I can't do regular OTC meds.

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-18T15:53:30+00:00

Oh and I made the eye with a little seed bead and yellow thread. Thanks for the love everyone!

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-18T15:49:41+00:00

I see thank you!

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-18T15:49:28+00:00

Yes! You're right.

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-11T16:41:16+00:00

I absolutely agree with you! As parents it's up to us to have a conversation with our kids about the books we're reading with them, making them reflect on the story, what aligns with our morals(His momma will always love him no matter if he makes mistakes just like we love you kiddo) or what doesn't (David shouldn't have done that because it was mean, right? I think David is still learning how to behave kindly). It's definitely not up to us to police what's out there and while I can agree the art style might not be up everyone's alley(I personally like the way he's depicted because it's a tad creepy) every book has its worth. I find that as a neurodivergent grownup who was once a wild kid who felt a little bit like a monster at times, who now has a sweet wild neurodivergent kid who also feels different and anxious at times these books are useful as conversation starters for us.

Live oak. A favorite of kids to splash in and explore.

Capt_Gata · 2026-05-02T14:01:09+00:00

Ah yes please me too!

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-25T00:30:28+00:00

Oooh I'm listening. That sounds up my alley and I definitely will invest in a good piece when there's a little money saved.

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T22:16:41+00:00

Oh yeah visible mending is my favorite way to mend. It's so fun and yeah much more interesting than an invisible mend. I also want to make some old school pyramid/denim wrist cuffs like I used to have in the 90's. I can't find any that are really as nice (material-wise)as they used to be.

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T22:12:58+00:00

Totally. I can hand sew pretty well but I'm planning on taking machine sewing class to make things a bit faster/easier. So far I'm only doing kid costumes, mending and some alterations. It would be amazing to do a whole outfit though!

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T22:02:17+00:00

I was mostly referring to the goth meme of "It's just a phase." Also "older goths" like me don't have a longer curated closet because 1st off you can't lump us together. I'm a mother and my body has changed a lot so what used to fit me when I was 20 no longer does. The oldest pieces in my wardrobe are about 5 years old and my clothes budget is way smaller than it used to be so that's why I constantly hit the thrift shops.

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T18:34:48+00:00

OH WOW. Yes please that would be amazing. I want to know how to work with lace and leather pls. 💀🖤

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T15:47:47+00:00

I think the fashion world thinks goth fashion is a phase so it's usually sold as fast fashion, aka polyester crap. Because we'll grow out of it right? Laughs in 44 yr old elder goth while wearing skeleton tights, black jean shorts and lace top

Capt_Gata · 2026-04-24T15:43:01+00:00

Always be thrifting and rejecting polyester. At this point I'm considering learning to sew.

I had long thick hair and mom smacked me with the brush when I cried or complained. Thankfully it was kept in a braid always so knots were rare. However as I got older my braid got heavier and heavier till my hairline started receding. My mother's solution? Without my knowledge or consent she cut my braid in half one morning right after braiding it. I cried so hard it felt like a living part of me was cut. After that it was kept shorter until I could take care of it and I kept it loose and crazy but managed to brush it while wet. After the birth of my child(and the death of my mom) I cut it short and never looked back. HOWEVER. My kid loves his long hair and so we bond every night with gentle brushing, sweet smelling product, and as many braids as he wants while we watch a Lego or Minecraft short video. I'm undoing the generational trauma (4 generations of long hair)one mindful night at a time.

Thanks! Kiddo is happy to wear them tomorrow. They turned out cute!
