I was at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in the spring and they had these wonderful little translucent models throughout the Burgess shale exhibit.

I was very disappointed that the gift shop didn't have anything like them.

On Friday I updated my Slack info at work to spoopy silliness.

I was going to change it back today, but I think it might get funnier the longer I leave it.

Mochi is fully recharged from a day of snoozing and has absolutely zero intention of letting anyone watch their show in peace.

Reminds me of this exchange a friend shared a while back. I relate to it.
A series of 3 text posts on a social platform. degenerate-purturbation: "yeah I'm a non-practicing woman. I was raised female but I don't really believe anymore yknow?" tailornorata: "I'm culturally female. I don't really believe in one true gender, but I do participate in some of the rituals I was raised in, when I feel like it. And I enjoy participating in the traditions of other genders too sometimes." xeduo: "I'm only female on Christmas and Easter, for my parents."

Post a cat.

Mochi was not ready for her closeup, but she is delightful anyway.
A closeup on the face of a dark grey cat with green eyes. She looks less than impressed to have a camera inches from her nose when she had just been relaxing on a comfortable lap.

Partner has some old ripped and stained shorts with a fly that simply will not stay zipped.

Ostensibly they are for doing messy work around the house, but he's prone to forgetting that and going out into the world in them.

Let's see if this helps.

Sorry bro, I'm not sure anyone can make this chapeau attractive.

Very reluctant to get any new apps, but decided to at least check it out on the store... Now I'm devastated.

Anyway she is a nice old lady. I have proposed the pseudonym Belle, since we have insisted she be our guest.

HARD ❌️

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

EASY ✅️

Look at this beautiful man.
A shorthair tabby sits on a dining room table, looking back to the viewer with a gaze of mild interest/annoyance. In the background, a smaller grey cat lounges in the light of a large window. A tree outside overflows with pink apple blossoms.

show me an image from your phone that has your energy and isn't a selfie.

The town of Ucluelet, BC, has a small but beautiful aquarium that is super interesting. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

A new pub, Frank's, has opened in my neighborhood. I really like it!
Lunch, consisting of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, a ramekin of corn and bean salad, a wedge of a large Artisan pickle, and a pint of japanese-style rice beer.
