#caturday snoozing #catsofmastodon

my robot vacuum got into my weaving room today (it is not supposed to go in there because it likes to eat yarn, with disastrous results) and now it is making the most depressed noises I've ever heard it make buddy I tried to warn you

this starts on friday! I'm on jury duty this week and so looking forward to getting through it and celebrating 🎉 #bayareayarncrawl #weaving

✨ exciting news! 🎉 these pieces will be on display for the #bayareayarncrawl as part of an art show in Martinez. if you're in the area, come see them :) #weaving

framing can be so powerful. heck yeah. #weaving

RE: https://toots.ravenoak.dev/@rebecca/116145216532888291 I very rarely have the "if I saw this somewhere else I'd get excited" response to my work but damn. If I saw these at a yarn shop I'd start asking questions.

next row of crayons completed 🎉 thinking maybe teal and purple for the next one, or teal and yellow? hmm #weaving

winter is almost over, thank goodness, and my brain is coming out of its hibernation. I'm happy to be back at the loom. This is a mini-quilt, based on a big quilt I've had since I was a little kid. It's (hopefully) going to be on display for the bay area […] [Original post on toots.ravenoak.dev]

99% of living with a cat is either holding something open for them while they stare at you like you're dumb or saying "Excuse Me" in an increasingly irritated tone for example: I tried to get pearl to go under the covers where it is warm and cozy and comfortable but instead she is sitting on my […]

hi pearl 😻 #catsofmastodon #caturday

ok ok we get it jesus. calm down girl

"why are californians like this?" because this is what a random monday in february looks like

#spinning class is going well even with the thumb out of commission. assembling my little scrapbook is the hard part, but I can tidy it up at home. #redalderfiberarts

more samples from today. lots of fun color theory, but I am excited to get back to my drum carder because I am too clumsy for a whole day of hand carding. #redalderfiberarts

saturdays are for flopping #caturday #catsofmastodon

well I don't want to spend my friday night reading emails from the grossest motherfuckers on the planet time to close my browser. I appreciate that people need to talk about Epstein but I really do not need to read the details. I already feel like I need a shower.

the cat weather report says it's snuggle season #catsofmastodon

she can be so polite #caturday #catsofmastodon

piggy got BANK shaped like a TANK. yomamama feet STANK. piggy got BANK

today's #baking project: refill the cookie tin peeling pistachios is some bullshit but grinding fresh pistachio flour meant I could throw in cardamom and rose petals. tres fancy. the little ones are just pistachio, the big ones have pistachio around the […] [Original post on toots.ravenoak.dev]

the giraffes are pretty today #photography

met some unexpected mushroom friends on my morning walk

today in weird marketing emails: is the vet bodyshaming my cat? what am I supposed to take away from this? If Rosie did make new years resolutions they would be TUNA NOW EAT TUNA EVERY DAY TUNA TUNA HUMAN TUNA EAT TUNA TUNA NOW NOW HUMAN EAT TUNA

phew, no cracks this time. 300° for 12 minutes in the exact center of the oven is the magic timing these have mocha shells & salty hazelnut cream tea filling #baking #macarons

I've been watching Dark, the netflix show from like 2019 (I think I tried watching it when it came out but there's a lot of triggering content, I'm in a better headspace now) it's thinky sci-fi, time travel stuff always is, but on a totally different level I […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

why are these so popular is it a e s t h e t i c or is it just conspicuous capitalism 🤔 (spoilers! they're the same thing!)

cat what are you doing #catsofmastodon

happy tucked in kitty season to all who celebrate #catsofmastodon

haha oh wow. that's too many cookies. what have I done. #yule #baking

happy solstice! ❄️ I totally forgot about #caturday yesterday because I spent all day baking. Rosie was there to help me review recipes. #catsofmastodon

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@ggggbbybby/115749882396570030 feeling like dj khaled over here that's the third 3.0+ in 24 hours.

huh, two little earthquakes in the last hour. san ramon is having a shaky night.

winter solstice preparations are afoot. ❄️🌿✨ these are peppermint mocha brownie cookies (made from brownie mix!) and I have cleverly situated myself in front of the cooling racks for easy quality assurance. #baking

The most San Francisco headline ever.

it's advent of code season! 🎄 I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 https://github.com/ggggbbybby/AOC-2025/blob/main/day1.rb

did I worry it wouldn't come out? yes did I burn my hand when it fell out of the pan because I wasn't expecting it to come out so fast? a little it's glorious. my friends are going to be so impressed. just have to make some raspberry coulis and pack it up for tomorrow. #baking

I had to say goodbye to my big boy Orson today. he was the biggest sweetest goofiest boy and I miss him so much. 🖤

I couldn't sleep this morning so I made a test batch of cake for friendsgiving. this is KA's lemon ricotta cake, I'm gonna do a big bundt with raspberry drizzles. the taste and texture are ace (suuuuuper moist and lemony) but it's a little soft for these tiny […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

this was a triumph I'm making a note here: huge success 💕 #handspinning #boucle

I learned on my last skein not to snap wet silk, so these are having a very gentle drip dry before they get hung in the bathroom window they came out so pretty 😍 #handspinning #boucle

these keep getting better! there was not quite enough twist in the first ply on this one, it's verrrry soft. I am going to send the last bobbin of singles through the wheel again just to tighten up the loose bits. just fine tuning now ✨ #handspinning #boucle

ohmigosh this is so fun. it's like an underwater candy store 🍭

me, spinning: oh this is going to be nice! I'm going to spin it fine and get lots of yardage me, plying: fuck fuck fuck fuck goddamn why do I do this to myself

Pica is getting what she deserves for her many crimes today. #picathecat #caturday #catsofmastodon
