maybe I should start a nice thread of Mickey, my beautiful and very soft cat 😊

a fluffy white and brown cat sleeping happily on his side, kind of curled up with his back legs and tail out in front of his face. you can see his black stripes along his side.

agreed! my Revlon reds (and one light blue) tend to stain but their black never did. the Holo taco darker colours stain, but the description does warn it and I guess it's the trade off for single coat coverage 😔

In Search Of Analogue Days
Diana, a 45 year old trans woman, has lost sight of her passion for photography until she finds herself, LITERALLY, in an old film camera from her childhood.

A queer & cozy slice-of-life comic. Laid Back Camp meets Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou!
#DVPit #GN #LGBT #TV #MR

Character lineup for "In Search of Analogue Days". "Diana Ying" is a thin older woman with greying brown hair and thick glasses. She's wearing a long pink cardigan with a white top, light blue pants and purple slip on shoes. She's holding a tiny camera in one hand. The pride flag beside her is the asexual flag with the trans and POC triangle on top. "Aidan Ryan" is a teen boy who's questioning his pronouns and gender. He's got short brown hair with bangs, and is wearing a simple white button up, a belt and black slacks. The pride flag beside him is the Questioning flag.

If you're at PAX Aus this Saturday, come watch as vi and I vie to become ale's Untitled Goose Game co-op partner (and check out ale's thread for a much better description of the panel than this)

Alecat @alecat.bsky.social · 14d

THIS WEEKEND at @paxaus.bsky.social: we're excited to be hosting a speedrunning themed gameshow panel!

@alecat.bsky.social is a solo Untitled Goose Game speedrunner looking for a buddy to take on the co-op leaderboard with. Problem is, her usual partner @nicosar.bsky.social isn't a good fit! (1/3)

The crow is adrift in comfort. A caption reads: sleep can't fix all the kinds of tired you feel. Build or find that wondrous snooze nest anyways!

The crow emerges from the thick blankets after a snooze. The caption reads: Because after sleep... it's always a new day.

it's such a delightful craft area... you can get distressed stamp pads to just add cool texture to things

caite @caitelatte.com · 15d

that sounds sweet, you could also use a stamp if you can find a cute one in time? easier to scale and thinner than stickers
