Double page spread, rightfully so.

strikingly attractive, beautiful, an affectionate nature and a desire to be friends with everyone, this dog craves company

omg so me uwu

A double page spread for Samoyed from 'The Dog Encyclopedia,' (2013)

The left page features black text on a white background:

Samoyed
HEIGHT: 18–22in (46–56cm)
WEIGHT: 35–66lb (16–30kg)
LIFE SPAN: Over 12 years

This strikingly attractive dog has a high-maintenance coat, but its cheerful disposition makes it an excellent family pet. Developed by the nomadic Samoyedic people of Siberia, this beautiful dog was used for herding and guarding reindeer and for sled-hauling. Although a tough, outdoor worker, it was also very much a family dog, taking its place in its owner’s tent and enjoying human companionship. These dogs were brought to England in the 1800s and were first seen in the US around a decade later. Numerous myths and unsubstantiated stories link the Samoyeds to the polar expeditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it appears likely that this breed was included among sled teams taken to the Antarctic during the heyday of polar exploration. The modern Samoyed retains the sociable and easygoing temperament that made it so valued as part of a nomadic family. Behind the smiling expression characteristic of the breed is an affectionate nature and a desire to be friends with everyone. However, the Samoyed retains the watchdog instincts for which it was bred. Although never aggressive, it will bark at anything that arouses its suspicion.

This dog craves company and likes to be kept occupied mentally and physically. Intelligent and spirited, a bored or lonely Samoyed will resort to mischief—whether it is digging holes or finding a way to escape through a fence. The breed responds well to thoughtful handling, but training requires patience and persistence on the part of its owner. Daily grooming is essential to keep the Samoyed’s magnificent, stand-out coat in order and maintain its distinctive silvery sheen. Seasonal shedding of the undercoat can be very heavy but, except in very warm conditions, normally occurs only once a year.

Never listened to Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' all the way through. So I'm doing that rn.

(there's a lot of classic albums I've not checked out yet, it's fine. But it's funny how I've heard almost half of this album already because of how popular the singles are)

Finished re-watching Malcolm in the Middle tonight.

Holds up pretty well for the most part, although we'll see how this sequel is when that comes out in April.

Punk cat socializing with locals and forming a real sense of community (commission)

A painting of a cat in a leather jacket and mohawk giving a thumbs-up to a rat next to him in a seedy bar while the dog waiter looks at them, thinking how cool it is to see different people getting along.

I had a dream that I saw Tiger Trap live somewhere in the USA.

I was pondering buying merch from them (don't think I did) before wondering why they didn't play songs like 'Puzzle Pieces.'

This tbh.

Or at least how there is some moralising aspect to how you engage with social media. I'm not as 'online' as I was years ago I think, but I'm not sure if that is an actual effort on my part or struggling to find something as consistently social as Twitter or certain group chats/servers.

I don't mean to be a massive wanker but, I am hankering for a social media that is actually social tbh. I'm not going to do owt until after the season is over tbh, but I'm noticing that this place is a bit howling in its desolation lately. Idk if anyone else has been experiencing this lately?

Update: I ended up sticking to Linux Mint because Fedora KDE Plasma just stopped working after installation. It would open up, but there would be no WiFi showing up.

I get excited over the small things, like my Bluetooth speaker not automatically connecting now. FINALLY!

Sylv @prolecloud.bsky.social · Dec 18

Linux Mint is nice, but I have been testing out Fedora KDE Plasma and I love it as a desktop environment.

I'm leaning to installing that for now (I've got Ventoy and some other distros though just in case).
