LOOK AT HER. Unrepentant.

A tiny criminal kitten, tabby and white, being held aloft by my hand. She has dirt on her little pink nose, and dirt all over her white paws from having zoomies in my plant. She has also sprinkled dirt all over my arm. I was in the process of brushing her off but she looked too funny, hence the photos.

Tiny criminal, photographed this morning.

She jumped in the plant and promptly got digging zoomies.

A very small kitten, tabby and white, shouting while I hold her up in the air with one hand. If you look closely you can see that both she, and my hand, are covered in dirt. The plant in question is blurry in the background.

"Hi! Can I interest you in some chaos this morning? Maybe some bitey face?"

A very small tabby and white kitten with her paws clasped together under her chin. She was chewing on her paw pads, but the photo makes it look more like she's plotting, or contemplating kitten religion.

The perception of ghost oft begins with the story we tell ourselves about it, the language employed. If we think of a place as ghost-burdened rather than ghost-graced, we shape encounter as surely as potter shapes clay. When it comes to spectres, words matter. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Goodnight from Jess Gablecross, embroidering charms into her lover’s scarf. Goodnight from Nev Croom, trying to explain to the police that the reason his lock-up is full of cathode ray tubes is because he’s trapped souls in each and every one of them. Goodnight from Hookland.

Photo from my collection, writing on the back says “General Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

Photo of a longhaired tortie cat lying on a sunny sidewalk with grass lawn on either side. It has a round little dark object in front of it, a toy maybe.

I grew up in that evangelical milieu so I'm more inclined to understanding than most. But if a dude like that wants to go in to national politics I'm going to need clear evidence that he's wrestled with how fucked it is

I'm broadly skeptical of reboots, but this is decidedly acceptable

Ok. I copied these two CDs onto My hard disk in DOS. And the BIOS does detect it

JAZZ PAWS!

Ophelia, a tiny tabby and white kitten laying on my laptop keyboard. Her front paw and her back paw are in the air, crossed over, looking like she's trying to give wonky high fives.

Whoops, fallen over! A tiny tabby and white kitten is laying on her side with three paws in the air. Her two front paws are trying to grab the air, and her back paw is reached right up high. Probably for stability but she looks silly.

I am glad I'm not actually trying to work yet this morning. Ophelia is feeling good with a nice full belly and a whole new space to explore!

(Brought her into the bus for breakfast)

My laptop. Blurry, a very small tabby and white kitten is leaping across the keyboard, photo snapped mid jump. I've managed to snap the photo so her front half is entirely out of frame, but her back feet are still sailing through the air.

A very small tabby and white kitten about to leap onto my laptop keyboard. Her front feet are high in the air and you can see she's going to cause maximum setting chaos when she lands.

anyway good night

Fluffy gray tabby half asleep on a plush purple blanket while a blue-eyed black dog with a very pink tongue looking on from the background - in a fashion that might be described as “sinister” if she weren’t so goofy.

When does eccentricity become dangerous? The Campaign Requiring Obliteration Of Pillboxes (C.R.O.O.P) believe pillboxes are portals to an England invaded by Nazis. Normally this would just be thought of a bit mad, but C.R.O.O.P. also believe in bombs. – Bob Wellings, BBC Nationwide

A type FW3/22 pillbox on a beach. The two slits at the front of the concrete look like eyes, giving the thing a sense of being a malignant watcher.

Ophelia is feeling good and full of playtime! I have been well chomped.

Amazing what a belly full of food instead of rubbish can achieve.

A very small playful kitten. Ophelia is tabby and white, and she's laying on her back with all four paws in the air. They're blurry and close to the camera. Her mouth is open and it kind of looks like she's shouting SURPRISE at us.

probably. I was testing it on a late socket 775 machine, and didn't get it to boot for Whatever reason, and there's been some hardware fault (ram?), so I was tired of screwing with it. I'm going to do more tests on a socket 754 that at least mostly works tomorrow

James Mitchell @wotsac.bsky.social · 3d

Oh. I must have one somewhere here. I'll try it tomorrow. Also, i may have another one here that I didn't notice before

I haven't tried burning with it yet, and i definitely won't promise that it works perfectly, but I was able to mount a cd-r and dd its contents to /dev/null without unequivocal errors
