She's nowhere near as loud as Max was, but Zuzu's a purrball just like him. It doesn't take much to get her motor running. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Boosting Soad and Omar. Please help them in whatever ways you can.

Boosting Soad and Omar. Please help them in whatever ways you can, even if it's just reposting. Just in case Bluesky deletes Soad's account again, I've also included a link to her and Omar's GFM:

Boosting Hana and her family. Please help in whatever ways you can, even if it's just reposting.

I'm single, not desperate.

This beauty agreed to sit for an interview during my walk earlier today.

Been a while, so I may as well do another #PromoSky. Video games: Mario Xenoblade (especially X) Fire Emblem (especially Three Houses) Pokémon Hearts of Iron Stellaris Crusader Kings Europa Universalis Victoria Tyranny The Sims Baldur's Gate III Rune Factory Pentiment Civilization Age of Wonders

Boosting Hana and her family--especially her husband, who recently underwent surgery and thus has a weakened immune system. Please help in whatever ways you can. Repost to spread the word, and if you can spare any money, please donate.

I really need to get a haircut this weekend. I'm basically a shorter Peter the Great with glasses at this point...

Boosting Muhammad and his family. Please help them in whatever ways you can. The $250 he asked for has been covered, but with all the destruction the genocide has wrought, he and his family are sure to need more help in the future.

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all. To disable it for your channel go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Upload Defaults > Advanced Settings (cont.)

Boosting Hana and her family. Please help in whatever ways you can.

I was saddened to see that Soad's account got deleted so quickly, but overjoyed to see that so many people donated to help her and Omar in such a short period of time.

Boosting Soad and Omar. Please help in whatever ways you can.

Boosting Muhammad and his family. Please help if you can, be it by donating, reposting, or both.

Almost mistook this for a twig. Probably four inches long, at most--and that's including the tail.

Boosting Soad and Omar. Please donate whatever you can spare, and even if you can't spare anything yourself, please repost in the hope that others will donate.

If you can't spare anything, please instead repost in the hope that some of your followers can chip in.

Boosting Muhammad and his family. If there's anything you can spare for them, please donate. I'm doing my part, and I'm not in any immediate danger of running out of money, but I'm giving more than I make and the families I've boosted recently have needed more help than usual this past month or so.

Boosting Hana and her family. If you can spare anything, please help them.

Ugh. Walked through a spider web during my walk. Thankfully missed the spider; I'd have probably panicked had it gotten on my face. Is there anything in the food web we can replace spiders with? I can tolerate most arthropods, but not spiders.

My sibling decided to replace their beaten-up old desk chair (frankly, I should do the same with mine). The cushion on the new one arrived without any fur on it, though, so Myshka chose to correct that, free of charge. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Boosting Soad and Omar. Please help them if you can spare any money.

Upside of Galaxy getting more attention: more beautiful fanart of Rosalina Downside of Galaxy getting more attention: more... uh... fanart of Rosalina that I'd rather not see

Boosting Hana and her family. Please help them if there's anything you can spare.

Scanner: Couldn't send; file size too big. Me: Figures. A lot of pages in that batch were in color. Let's try just the first half. Scanner: Couldn't send; file size too big. Me: [sigh] ...Okay, let's try just the bit with the colored pages. Scanner: Couldn't send; file size too big. Me: 🌋

I know the obvious Claude fursona would be a deer, but I actually think a fox would also suit him.

As a reminder, we are looking for more streamers interested in raising money for the children of Palestine. Please share to help spread the word, and reach out if you're interested!

Me: Oh? Video on classical music in my feed? Thanks, YouTube. [Barely a minute into the video] Me: Is that image AI-generated? [Barely another minute in] Me: Okay, that one's 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 AI; I'm pretty sure those four composers never met each other. Screw that. Channel blocked.

I'm always pleased to see these guys when I go on a walk. Part of me wishes I had a higher-quality camera than my phone on hand for these occasions, but carrying one of those around every time I go on a walk just in case I see something worth photographing isn't worth it to me.

Boosting Muhammad and his family. If you can spare anything, please help them.

Someone named Lillie keeps coming up in some documents I'm going through at work. It's giving me Pokémon Sun/Moon flashbacks.

Boosting Soad and Omar.

Boosting Soad and Omar. The amount Soad asked for has been covered, but my money is not infinite. The more people there are helping them, the more fallbacks they'll have should anyone happen to me or anyone else they rely on.

[frustrated sigh] DuckDuckGo's image search evidently still has room for improvement. Had to add "-toyota" just to keep cars out of my search for cute Celicalm fanart. The results are... better, but I'm still seeing some ships that are very much not Celicalm.

So I heard some Middle Eastern-looking guy turned up recently near the UN building. He didn't speak any English, nor did he have any documentation on him. Heard saying something like "Anah yeshoowah." No idea where ICE took him after they grabbed him, though. Think it's tied to this "rapture" thing?

In observance of Celebrate Bisexuality Day, here's an El-egant drawing of my favorite fictional bisexual person, courtesy of enn.

I am really looking forward to what passes for winter here in San Diego. I appreciate being able to go on a walk without returning home drenched in sweat. I've also noticed that my house is less likely to get raided by ants when the weather's cooler. Spotted a "scout" on my glasses, of all places.

I've been seeing these little guys near my workplace quite a bit lately. Lizards are nothing rare in my area, but judging by their size, these ones are quite young. I'd estimate that this one was no more than three inches (~7.5cm) long. I wonder if they were born nearby...

Three Houses fanon: Caspar and Hilda can marry in Crimson Flower timelines. Hilda can be bypassed at Derdriu, meaning she can survive the war. Caspar's CF solo ending says nothing about his marital status. Ergo, even if they lack a CF paired ending, Crimson Flower Hilspar is possible.

[thread] At this point, I think trying to convince a Gaza genocide denier that Israel is committing genocide is akin to trying to convince a global warming denier that human activity is affecting the climate.

In his commentary on the confrontation between [spoiler] and [spoiler] in The Order of the Stick, Rich Burlew wrote something that I think is pertinent to all this "civility" talk in light of a certain far-right propagandist's murder (names omitted due to spoilers): 1/9

Just learned there's an orchestra and chorus version of Bohemian Rhapsody...

I'm going to laugh so hard if one of the Fortune's Weave characters shares a name with one of my Three Houses OCs.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

It was at full mast yesterday, too. They may have simply forgotten, but I'd like to think they refused.

On the list of more trivial things I'm worried about regarding the upcoming Fire Emblem game: I hope Fortune's Weave's soundtrack doesn't lean too heavily into rock or similar styles.

Well... I suspect that will complicate my Three Houses expanded universe.

Blah. Hearts of Iron IV playthrough ruined by a bug. Still kind of feel like killing virtual fascists, though (and maybe creating a fictional timeline in which some of my relatives don't die in ghettos), so I guess I'll just do a playthrough that avoids the bugged focus...

I don't know whether to be excited or worried in the event that this rumor turns out to be true. I've spent years building an expanded Three Houses universe for myself. If new story material is added to the game, it could compel me to adjust my EU in ways I'd rather not.
