My kitties (Alexandra Hamilcat is the tortie, Aaron Purr is the black one) are lying together in the same scrap yarn box in my office closet. Y'all have no idea what a big deal this is.
Two cats, one tortoiseshell and one black with a wonky right eye, are sitting together in a box

Listen I'm not quite OFMD-in-2022 levels of obsessed with Heated Rivalry, but it's the first show in ages that I'm pursuing across all social media, saving gifs to my phone, & needing to talk about with like-minded folks. I kind of forgot how fun the early days of fandom can be.

I have watched the gay hockey show and while sports romances & pretty boys aren't usually my thing, I, uh, think I'll make an exception for this one. #heatedrivalry

My spouse has sent me nothing but IWTV & Lestat memes & pictures for the last 24 hours like he thinks I might have missed some, it's adorable.
A screenshot from the White Lotus of two girls, the screencap reads "yeah, maybe Grandpa was a power bottom". The report of the shot reads "i talk about daniel molloy like this" A picture of Lestat from IWTV tv, the text reads "Lestat: people always say I have a favorite fledgling. I don't. I love Louis and all of the non-Louises equally" Images from IWTV tv in clockwise order: Louis, Armand, Lestat, young Daniel. There is an xy graph with top saying "covered in blood (victim)" right "pathetic (wet cat)" bottom "covered in blood (murderer) & left " pathetic (kicked puppy)" Various pictures of Lestat from IWTV tv with the caption "Lestat's mood, based on hair choices."

Timeline did its thing! @korps.bsky.social
Screenshot of two posts in a row. The first post says "ummm... What do you mean you won't let the scorpion ride on your back across the river? It's called coalition building." The second post is angie showing off a black shirt with a lacy pattern of scorpions across the top.

All my designs are available as t-shirts, prints, stickers, tote bags, pillows and more!

These include the New Revenge cat flag, the cannibal skull, the original cat flag with the non binary flag as background, "this is a safe space" with a crossed knife and cleaver, "safe space ship," and Our Alphabet Means Death art piece.

From the top teacup comes a wave with a tiny ship patched on top and green tentacles Blue t-shirt with my "bedtime for kraken" design, which is a purple octopus holding a tea cup, a sleep mask, the breakup robe, and a teddy bear that resembles Lucius. Black t-shirt with the text "Vici Ortiz transed my gender" and a background of a l light purple nebula

Today is my Hopperdog's birthday. He is EIGHT YEARS OLD. As is fitting, here is his school picture.
Two pictures of a black and white lab mix dog on a geometric background, reminiscent of 90s school pictures. One picture is of the dog looking up and two the left, with his lower body fading into the background. In the other picture the dog it looking at the camera with his tongue hanging out.

Please say good morning to my grumpy little stack o' cats
Two cats lying on different levels of a cat tree. The top cat is a tortie, lying on a level that is a little too small for her. The cat underneath is black, in loaf pose. They both look unhappy to be having their picture taken.
