I found a scrap of paper in this book that I'm reading (team random piece of paper as a bookmark) that I'm pretty sure is from about 20 years ago, especially judging from the terrible songs I listed on the back (the only good one was Star Trekkin').

[I'm spring cleaning, hence the book re-read.]

To all spending Christmas or the hols estranged from family: you're not broken, selfish, or unworthy. Sometimes, choosing life means letting go of those who hurt us. Totally legitimate chosen Fam include: lovers, partners, rabbits, cats, Twitch friends, snails, stars, clay, plants, dogs and friends.

Basically everything I do is electronic, or is done via big, third-party companies, so there is still time to buy things from me for Christmas if you'd like to! No issues with shipping to the EU/Northern Ireland either, because I don't deal with any of that stuff. I just draw things.
It's Christmas! Or if you don't celebrate Christmas, it's December! Either way, what an excellent time to give the gift (to a colleague, loved one, or yourself) of diminutive automata, or at least pictures of them. See the thread below for some ideas.

Wanda: yes, hooman, I do need all of these blankets!

Yesterday I was making lunch (veggie sausages, chips and beans), opened the tin of baked beans and suddenly had a very loud cat at my feet.

Wanda was very annoyed with me about the beans not being cat food! 😂

I found some really cute Christmas cards on Etsy (no photos because spoilers). They basically work out at just over £1 each, including postage, when you buy six.

Hopefully they're still in stock on Monday because supporting small businesses is important, especially with Black Friday going on.

Wanda is enjoying her hooman heater.
The hooman heater: this would be better if you didn't kick me in the bladder

We are currently at stage 3 in the virus's progression, transitioning from the avian phase to the mammalian phase, and now entering the stage of potential human spillover.

Yesterday, I had to emergency Deliveroo mashed potato to save myself from living off applesauce, protein pudding and porridge for days after unexpected teeth removal.

Gotta love how they just dump info on you, tell you to look at it at home & expect you to magic up soft food unexpectedly.

Yes, she does do a good "fiiiiine, I'll look at you, but only because you feed me" expression for photos.

The game I wanted to play being down for maintenance today got me thinking about autistic hyperfocus. I could have played a ton of other games but only that game is the "right" game right now. Nothing else is acceptable to my brain as something to play/be interested in.

This is a terrible photo because she's sleeping behind me, but Wanda is snoring. It's not as irritating as human snoring, it's just an occasional fart noise.
