Uhhh, I might be executed at dawn, if I manage to survive the night. Its been an honor, bike family. Don't follow my misdeeds and become a car-brained fool.

Rhubarb with the fangs
A black cat is lying on a wood floor. She has a catnip carrot in her front paws. 

You can see her two little fang teeth. Her coat looks so shiny and beautiful because it is

Some proper #WeirdBikeBsky out on the @edcriticalmass.bsky.social this afternoon. Braw weather for it!
A white Quicab, an articulated pedicab with six wheels, one on the front driver's unit and four on the rear passenger unit. The middle set of wheels are driven. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. #bikesky

Seems like a good time to go play with the cats, if they're awake. Damn, 11:00 already? Thought it was a little earlier. I got up earlier than I have been for months and only briefly napped, and the nap was an excuse to be with the kitties; probably sleep easily with a melatonin. #Caturday

Right: mostly white calico cat curled on her left side against the outside of my right leg.

Okay, crazy idea I just cooked up after a shit-post. New sport idea: 10 second rodeo robot-riding, and "bot"(bull)-fighting, but the creatures are hopped-up ADV robots (the Deliveroo, Coco, Satrship, etc wheeled robots).🤔💭

If I had all the money, I'd start an employee-owned and op'ed e-bike, e-scoot and other micro-modal shop (some acoustic modal work too, but focus on e-bikes and e-scoots). Repair, service, customized up-fitting, and user fitment! In-shop + to-you service I'd have cats running about the place, too

a handmade embroidery artwork titled "Manually embroidered cats" created by artist @ladyserebrennikova.
It features three cats with intricate, unique patterns on their bodies.
The artist notes that these are manually embroidered and sometimes sold with baby cats included. 
The designs are often inspired by traditional art patterns like folk embroidery or floral themes.
