"If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." Mary Shelley, you were a real one for that line.

The problem with pillowfort (from my very brief experience with it) is that it wants to be both tumblr and livejournal but succeeds at neither.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

A big fat bumblebee landed on my arm this morning and hitched a ride for a little bit before carrying on her little way.

I am choosing to take this as a sign of good luck. Lord knows we all could use some right now.

I made a mushroom! He's a bit sad and wonky as I did not stuff him enough, but he is mine.

A crocheted red mushroom from Super Mario. Its black soulless eyes stare blankly into your soul.

My first D&D character was a himbo warlock who got his powers because one particularly hard winter he uttered the words "Gee, I'd sell my soul for a sandwich right about now.". That was literally all I had going into the first session. You don't need much.

I received my annual raise today. It is outpaced by my rent increase for the upcoming year. Which means I am legitimately in trouble and need to find a better paying job or a second stream of income somehow.

Omg I need these for my Lego Endurance.

This was supposed to be a sphere, but I think the shape now makes it look more creature-shaped.

Every day it gets harder and harder not to blow the whistle on all the things the company I work for is doing. Especially with Canada Post on strike... seriously, we NEED our national postal service. These courier companies are not your friends, overcharge to underservice, etc...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Astrology can be fun and all, but the surest sign that it is absolutely bullshit is that every time someone sends me my horoscope it's been telling me I'm going to have an exciting romance... for YEARS. With who? Myself???

Lady with Elfroot 🌿

Portrait of an elven lady turned to the left, but facing the viewer. She's holding a branch of ivy in her right hand, and is dressed in teal and ivory, with a golden eye on her chest. The background is abstract, on the tones of purple.

The world is going to shit, but my boss went to bat for me against US management and got my time off request approved.

And of course I'm out taking care of Important Adult Tasks so can't immediately take care of this and have to just quietly try to not have a panic attack because my layover has turned from 90 minutes to 8 hours!!!

When you're having a bad case of the Mondays only for Air Canada to email you that your itinerary in January has been changed as your second flight was full. Of course I got bumped because I couldn't reserve a seat because Sky keeps sending me back to Air Canada who then keeps sending me to Sky.
