If we were going out more, and if she were more cooperative, I’d be sorely tempted to dye racing stripes along the fur divide. 🤣

One of the joys of having a double-coated puppy is watching them grow an adult coat like a moody teenager reluctantly growing out a bad undercoat.

We were up all damn night, so Aleya is shocked we’re not going back to bed.

This is because you can’t cluster all the quest givers in a bog! Some need to be in other zones: forest, grassland, tundra, caves, etc. Overpopulating one zone with quest givers will lead to common parts (scales, haunches, etc.) becoming rare drops.

@leavesdancing.bsky.social is streaming this in her iPad, and I’m having delighted flashbacks listening to the intro song.

Which medieval dog are you?

5 years ago, we started a 1-day festival to celebrate the freedom to read. In short, it’s not getting any better so now we’ve expanded to 3 days w film, education & music. honestdogbooks.com/stand-with-t...

The best afternoons are spent playing!🐾🐺

Can I really be the first person to think of Jeff Goldblum? "scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."

And a pendant from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. The roots go deep.

I had a little silver friend almost exactly like this back in my teens and 20s. No idea what happened to him. But now I have a new friend… assuming I can get used to rings again. Thank you, @peculiarityshop.bsky.social!

@peculiarityshop.bsky.social Just got our shinies! (Pics after lunch.) But this was also in the package, outside the wrapping. What is it? Was it sent by mistake?

Crocheted a dragon for the infusion center at Walter Reed. I just need to make a scarf or something to cover where I had to add extra rows for the neck to get the head position right. Also waiting on floral wire to support the front legs.

Boop please! A BB-8 amigurumi for my oncologist.

Our duty is to brighten up your dull Wednesday with a bright medieval wow. Luckily we have just the thing… Created by artist Susanne Davies in 2014 this colourful embroidery thread installation on the Chapel’s original 15th century window was inspired by cloths once traded from the Hall. 🌈

Why the fuck is this the second airplane flyover tonight that’s low enough to rattle the goddamn walls? Someone reboot BWI to fix its shit please.

TIL that “Starbuck” didn’t originate with BSG. Being in advanced English most of my school career (fu 12th grade English slug) meant I usually got assigned obscure shit to read or I was allowed to choose my own books. Never read Moby Dick, but a muppet version might pique my interest.

In this illustration for spell 17 of the Book of the Dead, a blade-wielding cat cuts the head off a snake. The serpent is Apep, the lord of chaos, who attacks the sun god Re during his nocturnal journey through the underworld. Re, in the form of a great cat, defeats Apep, ensuring cosmic order.

Sometimes to protect your peace, you've got to cut out chaos. 🔪

This is what victory looks like.

Behold! A house antelope!

I got deli sliced rotisserie chicken and made chicken cheddar sandwiches. Aleya is a fan, even though she’s never tasted it before. (She will get some when she sits, relaxes, and waits for me to finish my share.)

I’m holidaying in Crete and came across this little guy in a souvenir shop! A copy of the hedgehog-shaped Cycladic vase from Syros! He’s coming home with me! 🦔 😍

Oh no! I let Aleya out back, and now I can’t find her!

BB-8 amigurumi in progress, take two. (A moment of silence for attempt #1, which clearly went on a murderous rampage last Wednesday while no humans were home. Thankfully Aleya protected the dogs and cats by ripping open the previous iteration’s head.) Also I f’n hate sewing these round patches on.

I mean, look at her eyes!

I could spend the rest of the day taking pics of her. She’s so beautiful. Also crusty with dirt, but, uh, hers is a rustic sort of beauty?

Help a service dog keep his (and his mom’s) home!

Behold! A… um… a dog?

I just opened the sliding glass door, then reached around to close the screen door to get some fresh air. Alec came running to go out. Before I could open the screen door, he hit it with his head and bounced back in confusion. Looks like I need to put the visibility tape back up.

For all the #UglyDogs haunted doll fans…

Our security camera software is 100% accurate.

You know what else is incredibly satisfying? Disassembling things. Last night, I cut open a *giant* sheep stuffie (the Serra sheep) and completely unstuffed it so it could get thoroughly washed and bleached. It felt so good!

We ordered some new high-side litter boxes from Chewy. They’re being delivered one. At. A. Time.

#UglyDogs awooo! A packmate needs your critters!

A reminder for all of us.

1. Check to make sure the fire extinguisher in your home is not AI 2. Check to make sure it's not expired.

Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, written by Harve Bennett, was released 42 years ago today! This generous film gave us the Earth Spacedock, the USS Excelsior, the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the Merchantman & the Oberth-class. 🖖

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Goodnight sun 🌤️🥱

Tha wether. Too hott.

Either there’s a new breed of barking frog that got into the house or we’re having a unique issue with our plumbing.

It’s like she’s turning into a gangly teenager overnight.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

I’m delighted to announce my hip pain is back! 🎉

this is a pride flag made from real nasa imagery happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈✨
