The petal prince, delights of spring
No blade left grown - the grass-munch king
An orange cat with golden eyes explores his back yard, half hidden behind a wooden post. He is wearing a green harness and has a bundle of cherry blossoms tucked into his collar.

Catsitting. This was roughly 11 minutes before his automated feeder was set to go off so he was only partly interested

The Space Telescope Science Institute 🔭 is also clamping down on anything resembling DEIA in the name of compliance. Just in case you thought it was restricted to agencies directly tied to the government like NSF.
A screenshot of a Bluesky/Twitter post from @a_musingcat that shows a still of Hans Landa, the Naz' villain of Inglorious Basterds, with the added caption "you're sheltering DEI programs in your department, are you not?"

A view from the James Webb Space Telescope of the outskirts of a galaxy over 20 million light years away. The orange dots mark possible objects that my code detects above the noise. It looks a mess when looking a the full image, but zooming in closer? A majority of dots mark an individual star.

Bit nippy outside. (Keychain for scale)
A pillar of ice forms underneath the exhaust vent of an HVAC system. The pillar is about a foot tall and 3 or 4 inches diameter, with a lime green, typical-size keychain on the ground for scale.

I picked up a used IKEA loveseat from a coworker last weekend. Now, after many hours of meticulous cleaning, it's finally being put to its intended use.
A low angle shot of a grey loveseat with yellow pillows. An orange cat is squatting underneath it and staring into the camera, awaiting its turn with the braincell.

A circular chart showing my "food choice test" results. The circle is divided into 5 sections labeled lower class, lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, and upper class. Each section is filled in according to my responses to a survey. My food tastes most resemble those of lower to middle class people, with lower being the slight winner.

My family had a rough year, and my mom didn't have it in her to stay at home for Thanksgiving, let alone deal with a meal. So instead we hunkered in a rented lake house and got a table at a Thanksgiving lunch buffet. Here's last week's view from the back porch.
Wide shot of a slope down to a lake on a sunny day. Trees with scant yellow and red leaves dot the foreground

These more or less capture my essence yes
An orange cat sleeping in Shrimp pose on a red plaid blanket. A screenshot of a cross stitch that reads, in an elegant font, "LIVE through the ditches, LAUGH through the witches, LOVE in the back of my Dragula." Flowers and vines with hidden skulls and pentagrams adorn the sides. A very tired-looking, small white dog in a blue carrier waiting in an airport. An old stone storefront in Italy with an arched entrance. The sign is bright yellow and in a modern font, and reads "F**K"
