A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

Autumnal collection, including little owl feather, seedheads & various lovely things that fell off trees.
Zoom in to the details if you’re feeling stressed-the patterns in nature have been shown to help our brains relax🪶:

I am going to feed this back to my local coffee shop that I bought them from FWIW as it's at least the second time in this one box

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 5d

Bought some off-brand filters for my V60 dripper and saw the water and coffee grinds rush through a hole into the mug. Added a spoonful of honey and turned it into the sort of coffee my Latvian granddad used to make. How do you drink your coffee (or tea, I suppose, if we must)

It's International Week of Happiness at Work (I know) and I contributed to this article on what orgs can do. When I think about what individuals can do, it involves getting out to talk to people more - in person if that's a possibility, or on social sessions online www.linkedin.com/posts/lisari...

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Ah yes these are cool too! though not quite what I'm after. All of this has made me realise the discovery I did 5 years ago is still entirely valid 👀 and I have ordered a very slightly bigger version of the bag I have been using since :D

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 12d

Thank you for the suggestion! It looks very well made and fit for purpose but isnt quite my style 😊

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 12d

That is beautiful but you're right, it does not 😁

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 12d

Ooh that looks terrific and well made thanks for the suggest, tho this is all making me realise that my previous research still holds true that my Knomo one has a style I love ❤️

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 12d

@peterscottreid.bsky.social @jukes.ie Thanks both! That looks terrific and rugged and I can see why it's so popular as it seems incredibly fit for purpose, but Peter's right (and I hadn't realised) that chic is part of my criteria 😁 i might stick with my Knomo but thank you
