Sorry for all the quiet. Feeling bad enough that I’m turtling. Have been for weeks now. I miss people.

Leo has entered Elephant Mode

Lordy does PDX have some damn fine Ethiopian food.

Working on some pork belly burnt ends

Just finished a 35 day dry age on a prime ribeye primal cut. Butchered it into 1.75” steaks after removing the pellicle. Tonight we cooked one for three hours in a sous vide at 129.5°F and then seared it over charcoal. The result was phenomenal. This is my most tasty hobby.

It’s that time of year. Ferntopia has returned to Lair-on-Stilts.

In an attempt to appear “more human and relatable” some of the latest AI robo-voices now have a lispthth AND I HATE IT WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING

My Isekai idea: “I’ve Been Summoned So Many Times I’m Going to Speedrun This Next World” He’s been made a hero. He’s ended up as the villain. He’s tried to live a normal quiet life as a nobody. And still, the next fantasy world always finds a way to drag him into their BS. He’s done with it.

Just me letting y’all know I’m still alive as I sing the “You’re a Hairy Monster” song at my sleeping fuzzy problem child.

"Nature Is Healing" commission for @tugrik.bsky.social (2021) #art #furry #furryart

If life gives you lovely, soft melons, it’s best to cup them, gently squeeze, and enjoy. Especially with a @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com

My favorite ship in the #ChillHop ‘verse: Milkshake the bear and Rabbit. <3

Teasy scenes from a longer story of two different cultures starting to integrate.

TFW when you want to talk about what’s going on with your own health and situation with somebody/anybody so very badly, and you can’t because it’s so hard to peck out on a phone with voice to text and you honestly think nobody will care

An “am I the only one” question: Any time a saucy dish is made in a wok, I find it to be a moral and flavor imperative to absolutely stupid it up with sesame seeds. Like, a criminal amount.

So the lair comes with 3 acres of forest. Off on one side are a couple of apple trees we did not know about until recently. This year we picked them and there were about six grocery bags worth. We are now making apple pies. They are awesome.

New lair lights. Still a WIP. Should be finished by the weekend.

Signed, sealed, delivered. I love #Oregon #VoteByMail.

My lair has two driveways. This is the tree between them. Sign set 1 of 2. Part 2 arrives on Thursday.

When you’re bedridden but your cat still lurves ya

When you get proudly shown off to the girls of her group #praisekink #wip

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #672,176!

Ok so watching a live spacewalk is kind of awesome 🚀

…and that sound was thousands of NASA and Boeing buttholes finally unclenching after the successful Starliner touchdown 🪂

“Don't you look away, mister - don't make me get a ladder!" Scolding your misbehaving high-school age kid is challenging when they grow so fast. :)

Hold on for a taste…

Grumpf. My neuralgia has progressed to the point that everything I drink needs to be in a sippy-tippy cup. I’m glad those are at least a bit fun.

Guess who turns 35 in mid-October before the election? #AOCforVP

@tugrik.bsky.social happy bday!

Happy birthday, @tugrik.bsky.social! :)

Happy Purrsday, @tugrik.bsky.social !

Wishing @tugrik.bsky.social a happy solar orbit completion. You’ve been a good friend and a rock-solid admin for FurryMUCK.

Pillow play.

Story of a family built over a decade. Roleplay from 2001-2009 or so.

An embroidery project for one of my favorite people — it’s @tugrik.bsky.social as a little embroidered critter!

I am extremely pleased and grateful for the verdict. But please pardon me while I go back and hide in the lair, far away from all of the exhaust and engine noises of the victory laps currently going on.

It is a day with happy news, so I guess I will post more porns. :) Familybuilding from roleplay c.2001-2008 or so.

So who of you on my watchlist are both local to Portland and would really like to get into kitchen things like carbon steel pans and Le Cruset enameled cast iron?

Progression

Lōf.

Today in “Monocerian sayings”: “The prey you have to fight the hardest to get down your gullet makes for the fullest belly.”

Here, have a cozy, nuclear family WIP. Will post the finished one when it arrives. Large families make me happy.

Highly recommend. My favorite rice topping of late.

Recent commission get, again of Tug and Laurie, from roleplay back in 2001-2008 or so.

I have 3 acres of property with prominent, very visible flag poles. I proudly display three flags, posted here. After many years, my American flag, evidently made by a lower quality manufacturer, has become faded and tattered. I’ve replaced it with a much higher quality sewn one now.
