90% chasing and scrapping and 10% this. worth it? yes

Gregor, left, and his slightly younger half-brother Ivan, right, two young Siberian Forest Cats laying right next to each other in the exact same position under a chair like sweet baby angels that don't regularly tear out tufts of each other's coat from rough-housing.

Oops forgot the iconic cover and also this awesome insert which is going on the wall asap

Cover of De-Loused in the Comatorium - a man's face floats face-up on the surface of a lake, but under the water it turns into the tentacles of a jellyfish or man o' war - plus some cool black & white watercolor sleeve art - two hands grasp each other at the wrist, one reaching up from deep underwater and the other pulling upward

Luci, the little demon guy from Disenchantment, commonly mistaken for a cat due to his stature, coloring and general languor. He is holding a martini.

Holding up one of my cats' paws next to a huge jagged claw scratch on the inside of our front door. It's not a match. The defense argument appears to be that it was a literal demon. Jury is skeptical

they make bootleg carts overseas and sell them on ebay. first one I bought died after an hour but they replaced it and that one works great. $40, pretty reasonable for a cherished bit of my childhood

Russian Orthodox is so fucking extra, I love it

Russian Orthodox cathedral from the movie The Deer Hunter. A massive domed chapel with a huge gaudy crystal chandelier and bright pastel reliefs on the walls.

fuck this game (complimentary)

Screenshot from the game Silksong of the Flea Festival minigames scoreboard. After hours of tries I (Hornet) was able to barely eke out high scores against Seth, an NPC who stumbles across the games and casually destroys your previous high scores. If you beat these new high scores you get a little medallion that doesn't even do anything beyond proving that you're an extremely sweaty gamer.

Preach that fucking shit Dennis

lyric sheet for "Worms of the Senses" by Refused. Below the stylized image "The party program The party program The party program" etc.

"I got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break. Grab us by the throat and shake the life away. Human life is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. And yeah I like eating excrement and not getting paid for it. Play the guilt, play the fear and play the anxiety.

"Seduced by the opportunity and robbed of hope. Human suffering is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. Marginalise away the joy and sell us boredom.

"And yeah I like working doing nothing and not making anything. Blame the poor, blame the uneducated and blame the sick."
