Pivot the puppy is available for adoption in New Orleans. He’s full of puppy energy! But also does very well in a crate all night and during the work day.

Almost the full 12 months! I’m going to finish these as wall hangings and donate them to a local cat rescue for their silent auction. Pattern by OhMyStitchShop on Etsy. #crossstitch #rescuecats
11 small unfinished cross stitch pieces scattered on a table. They are black cats in monthly themes.

I’m so obsessed with these monthly black cat cross stitch pieces. I’m going to be so sad when I finish them all. They’re all different sizes so annoying to frame though.

Finally filled in the last random popcorn stitch in this piece today. I’m so happy with how it came out. Can’t wait to frame it. (After a good wash!) #crossstitch

I’m putting together a presentation for a career fair at my high school. This is a good start, right?

Cold snap in New Orleans means my kitties are down for extra snuggles. Rosencrantz got in my sweater while I was working.

A tv show made me sad so I screamed along to an old Less Than Jake album and I feel better now.

I bought the dog a new bed. Silly me. This is obviously an oversized cat bed. #catsofbsky

Not sure how many people know it, but wanted to post this old #friendsatthetable art that feels relevant now & always, maybe especially as someone disabled

This is illustrating one of my favourite quotes ever (from Spring in Hieron 4).
comic drawing of a quote from the heiron seasons of the podcast 'friends at the table'. Text reads: "when I first arrived here, I was roaring fury. I still had not learned. Your blade had not taught me much, except pain." A figure in glowing white (Chapter) stands on a sandbar, and remembers being stabbed with a sword by Hella Text continues: "When I calmed, I met Samothes, and he took me by the hand" - a brown human hand extends to Chapter's glowing one. "I found peace. I knew that the burden was not mine alone." Over an abstract scribbly drawing of red and black smoke, "One day, he told me, there would be an end, because he knew the heat and the dark would reach here, too. But before then, he said, there were so many small things to do." Text continues, over Chapter walking through an old fashioned town and taking up chess and basket weaving: "I did not believe him, because those things were small, and then I began to do them. People were afraid of me, at first. But soon, they came to realise that together we could do things that they could not imagine before they knew me." Text, over a drawing of a picked apple on a white background: "And so I found respite in the small things"

Just bought this at BBGcon and had the most visceral positive reaction when seeing it in the booth. My grandmother’s recipes were so important to my childhood and I’m so excited to explore that through this game by @fleitdetrik.bsky.social
