resting murder face

Callie, a tortoiseshell cat, sitting with her front paws on my arm. She has airplane ears and appears to be glaring despite choosing this position and actively purring.

it’s been a minute so I just wanted to assure everyone that callie is still standing on her tail

Photo of a tortoiseshell cat sitting on the base of a cat tree. She has a half black and half tan face which is in focus. Her body is less focused but you can see that her tail is wrapped to the front of her body with two paws placed on top.

playing with scraps

Photo of a finished quilt block. The overall block is square and consists of a large central diamond with strip borders. In the middle there is a ring of animals made up of individual pieces from the same base print

I recently established care with a new PCP after not having one for a while and it has been both a personally very positive experience and also a strong reminder of how fucked up and fragile the whole system is!!!!

They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.

A man in a white parka sits next to a gray and white husky with a white strike down her forehead. She nibbles something tasty off the ground while he looks over his shoulder. Above them is the burled arch that marks the Iditarod's finish line in Nome. They did it.

congrats to the blue jay ten feet in front of me who has thoroughly and repeatedly convinced merlin he’s a hawk

Screenshot from the Merlin app using their bird sound ID feature. The top half of the image is a spectrogram where the most prominent feature is the trace of a screech near the middle. The bottom shows that the app has identified the current bird as a red-tailed hawk.
