You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

Huh. That tracks. She tries to murder me every morning.

Pffft. Nemesis? She ain’t all that, just because she carried us halfway across the galaxy she acts like she the hottest thing since Emerson. She’s just a big damn taxi, that’s all…….
…….

She’s right behind me, isn’t she?

Christmas traditions are not always bad. This is one of mine. Every years me and a few hundred like minded freaks from all walks of life gather here to wallow in the world of Dickens.
It’s part Christmas Craft Fair, part dodgy history lesson, part bar, part theatre…

Minor Acts of Joy: Pocket friends, check this action out. I taught my FIRST EVER theatre class yesterday (improv street theatre - villains edition) at workshops for #Dickens.

And it went pretty darn good, even if the class was SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER than I was expecting. Woof!

I know I’m all about #cats, but every now and then, you just gotta #dog.
So in that spirit - I give you the platonic ideal of canine “but daaaaAAAAAaaaad, WHYYYYyyyy?”

Inspired by @okgokid.bsky.social and @punkrockdoll.bsky.social - but I’m not a writer. I did used to be a half decent artist before age and adulthood took me. So in that spirit, something from my very early 20s. A kindly angel.

I made a candy bowl. Surely the children will love it. It has candy in it. Yay. Candy.

This “sleepy chicken and egg cow-town” came out. Hundreds, maybe thousands. Every part of this country is _pissed_.

The huntress with her prey. She killed it real good.

This is the Platonically perfect example of the problem describing itself, right here.
I genuinely cannot tell if the response to Jay was intended as humor, or trolling, or, god forbid, just EPICALLY un-self-aware.
Whatever, it’s hilarious.

The last gif/image you saved is your OG….Who’s your OG?

Ovinomancer.
Reusable sheepification? Love it.
Sure, it’s janky AF, and bad against graveyards, and crazy expensive, and…. Ok. Fine. It’s a bad card.
But I will
Always love it. And anyone who mocks me for it can get sheeped.

Lord, grant me the simple contentment of this Little Orange Cat™️, and may my existence bring the peace and joy to others that hers brings to me.

Amen.

Everything sucks and a once great nation is falling to fascism. Not here though. Not in this house. I have a guardian. I have a little orange kitty. She ain’t gonna take no shit.

This is an abomination.
I fully expect it will be an abomination IN MY MOUTH at the earliest available opportunity.

There are NO domesticated cats. But there ARE tame, trained humans.
