I have spent my day fruitlessly throwing rocks at a raccoon who keeps getting on my porch and bugging the feral cats that hang out there. By fruitlessly, I mean I have not successfully hit him once, and also that I haven't thrown fruit at him.

Me in my Bluesky bubble

Just beat Slay the Spire 2 for the second time and it only took 748 hours!

Me in my Bluesky bubble

Been feeling patriotic lately.

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

It should be okay to eat them if you're really, really hungry.

Some of these people who seem determined to never learn to filter themselves are just in a different kind of echo chamber and they really don’t want to admit it.

I wonder how many times Corey has gotten rape threats, been told he's too ugly to be raped, or told how much he'll enjoy being raped by someone who dislikes a post he wrote on the internet. It's all in the name of roiling, exciting fun, so he'd be weird and sheltered if he disliked it.

Baldur's Gate 3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2. And Slay the Spire 2 is currently eating my goddamn life. 700+ hours and I've had ONE (1) successful run.

This is Frank. He was getting checked out at the vet when he decided the appointment was over. Has things to do and places to be, but doesn't mind if you come along. 13/10 (TT: thatonevettech)

This is the face of doing crimes

It is weird, this fact of life, that sometimes doing something that is small or convenient for you harms others disproportionately and needlessly. There are so many examples of this throughout human history. You should not be surprised by this truth at this point in your life.

I forgot yesterday was #AgenderPrideDay! Shame on me. Here's a selfie of me in front of a pride flag wearing a cardigan with the trans flag colors and glasses with the nonbinary flag colors in compensation. Embracing my agender identity has been so freeing. We're a small group, but mighty! 🖤🩶🤍💚🤍🩶🖤

I dunno why, but all this reminds me of BJ from 'The Righteous Gemstones' deciding to get into pole-dancing. Except BJ was a sympathetic character.

I know some of y'all followed the two year saga of me trying to divorce my abusive ex-husband who tried to become a jumprope influencer and legally changed his name to Dizzy Skips to boost his rather unhinged attempts at social media success. I thought I had escaped his bullshit, buuuut

I accidentally ripped a door off an oven in home ec and started a fire and after that i was only permitted to sit next to the teacher's desk and play with coloring books 😆

How many times did you accidentally set yourself on fire in junior high school, or are you not a Sara?

This is the face of doing crimes

I've hit a bit of a book slump after a few really great reads and I'm getting grumpy about it. I'm hoping I CHEERFULLY REFUSE gets me back on a more satisfying track. The title certainly resonates.

CACKLING MANIACALLY

WOOOOHOOOO MY NEW FLAG FINALLY ARRIVED

The grower of my favorite weed strain is closing up shop. Spoke to a budtender today who had just found out and we clung to each other, grieving like a natural disaster had happened.

🚨🚨🚨URGENT NEWS🚨🚨🚨 The babies are CUDDLING!!!!! I never thought this day would come.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

🚨🚨🚨URGENT NEWS🚨🚨🚨 The babies are CUDDLING!!!!! I never thought this day would come.

I have a confession to make. 😥 I've been catfishing.

I love how my shark monster looks in cold shoulder dresses.

My cat just tried to stand between my legs while I was peeing, and I said, "No, that's weird and inappropriate." In response he reached up and solemnly put his paw on my boob, never breaking eye contact.

I entirely forgot I purchased these earrings on Etsy (I've been on a LOT of benadryl the past couple weeks), so getting a shipment notification for this was a delightful surprise

I am struggling with profoundly uncomfortable post nasal drip that makes me feel like I'm choking/unable to swallow. I don't know how to hock up loogies. I never received this crucial life lesson. I've been in a constant state of mental & respiratory distress. Asked my mom for help. She... didn't.

You know your allergies are bad when you're delighted to get a prednisone prescription

CAT: LEMME OUT! ME: You're not allowed outside. CAT: Since when? ME: Uh, always. CAT: I was outside yesterday! ME: That was weeks ago & it was a mistake. CAT: There are no mistakes in Outside. The gods wanted it. ME: Well, the gods made me the one who can work doorknobs. CAT: YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM!

tally me banana

I am currently reading TRADWIFE by TC Parker and it has the honor of being the first physical book I've purchased in years that isn't a graphic novel. It has a lot of footnotes and I've never found an app that handles them in a way I like.

SURPRISE!

200 hours later and I've still only beaten it once lmao this is ridiculous

Every time I open Bluesky,

I was a horse girl without a horse. I had a massive collection of Breyer horses. I was a Marguerite Henry stan before stans existed. And I'm SO glad my parents never let me have a horse. Did it eat too much? It's dead now. Could it not fart? It's dead now. Did it trip? You have to murder it now.

I'm starting to see book recommendation lists again full of trad publishing horror books. Keep an eye on some of your favorite indie publishers and authors who self-publish and see what they're up to! Here's a few you can check out for starters: 🧵

Do crimes with us. Come to the dark side. We have cookies AND toe beans.

I don't understand why this is going kinda viral, but cat tax: me doing an impression of Floof.

I told the bagger at the grocery store that I would happily pay for him to use extra bags for my purchases because I'm disabled and need bags to not be too heavy. Bless his heart, he put every heavy item in an individual bag 😆

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Tonight two young women knocked on my door to ask if I had an orange and white cat, because there was one dead on the side of the road. Frantically yelled Floof's name, terrified he had gotten out. He didn't. He's safe and sound. But it was one of his siblings from the colony. I'm heartbroken.

C is for Cat
