She is being silly today
A small brown tabby cat laying on her side on a scratching post. One of her back legs rests against the post. She stares at the camera with green eyes. She has a white patch on her tummy that kinda looks like a heart imo.

I feel like I've had bad luck lately with gross stuff from a factory sneaking into my food. My plain yogurt had fragments of metal in it a few months back too.

Btw was eating my gummi fruit snacks before bed last night (shut up I'm allowed to have gummis as an adult) and there was . . . chalk? In the bag I opened. So that was great. :-/

Just saw an actual conservative commenting on Tumblr and it was fucking hilarious. On TUMBLR.
They were torn a new asshole, naturally, it's just so funny to see them trying to post on Tumblr.

Yesterday it was foggy, enough so that the planes were not flying. I had a nice long walk by the creek near my house. To just be among the frogs and the moss and the blackbirds was very healing.

Three little trees, painted with acrylic markers~ 🎄
Which one’s your favourite?

#TraditionalArt #ArtsAndCrafts
A photo of three small, painted wooden trees with conical shapes, placed on a shelf in front of leaves, white flowers, and a salt stone lamp. The left tree is snowy and blue with sparkling yellow lights, the centre tree is purplish pink with an intricate pattern of yellow moons and stars, and a few touches of teal. The right tree bears a mushroom and plant motif on black.

Little bit of Halloween decor on the multi-teir altar that I took down today . . . btw don't burn candles like this, I was like 'well I can light them for the picture for like 10 seconds it probably won't burn the top of the shelf that quickly' (it did lol)
top of an open bookshelf I'm using as an altar. the top has a carved Tree of Life on an orange leaf-patterned fabric. the shelf below is the halloween shelf. close-up of halloween shelf. it has a black cloth covered in a jack-o-lantern pattern (white, orange, green and purple pumpkins). in the center is an hourglass with black sand and a pair of golden skulls sitting inside each base of the hourglass, so that the falling sand falls upon the skull and slowly buries it. in front of the hourglass is a bat-shaped shallow dish with a white-and-orange color gradient. inside the dish are some large acorns. there is also a pair of orange taper candles on either side of the shelf, inside clear glass skull candle-holders. the candles are lit but because they're tall tapers they're too close to the top of the shelf above it, putting little scorch marks above the flame which don't actually touch the shelf but are too close for safety. don't light tall tapers too close to shelves like this, don't be me.

Why is she like this
Photo: a tiny brown tabby cat mashed into the corner of a chair, sleeping. She has molded her body to fit the corner of the chair and her back feet are mushed in a super awkward angle

Why are you like this
Small brown tabby cat sprawled across a recliner. Her back leg is propped awkwardly up on the arm of the chair while the rest of her body lays flat. Her front paws are jammed into the chair back and you can see a skin fold on her back from where she is mashed so hard into the cushion.

Sorry I haven't been here much except to pop in and reblog a few things. I've been much more active on my fandom account where I ramble about Legends ZA and about the game mod I'm working on . . .

So apparently gay rams are often killed because they don't tend to make more rams.

So this gay farmer buys the gay rams to keep them alive and sells the wool!

The sea slugs are my best selling magnets so far, & it makes me happy because this type of item has been slow to take off, but I really enjoy making them!

You can find every magnet here: evanskyarts.com/en/collectio...

Two felt sea slugs held on the palm of my hand over green sunlit gardens. The left slug is blue with orange antennas and gills and is decorated with 4 dark blue iridescent pearls. The one on the right is purple with yellow antennas and gills and is decorated with purple pearls.

There's no need for titles once you've shared a bottle of fingerprinting powder!

A photo of our Ace Attorney shirt, "Scientifically Speaking." It's a green shirt with a portrait of Ema Skye that resolves out of a collage of fingerprints. EMA SKYE is written across the top of the illustration in a narrow serif typeface; "Scientifically Speaking" is written in script across the bottom. A photo of the Snacking Ema Lenticular pin in its packaging. The pin features a cute illustration of Ema angrily eating above a dialogue box that has 1-3 lines of "MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH" depending on your viewing angle. The packaging reads "Snacking Intensifies."
