My danged sword's gone and transed it's gender!

Prince is fine. I just thought he should also be included.

A brown and black tabby lying sideways on the floor, staring at the camera with his big yellow eyes.

He's got a big fluffy tum just sitting out there, looking like it needs a rub.

These two also need expensive dental work. Around $2000 each for... Resporptive lesions? Their gums are basically absorbing some of their teeth. Chesty's had it before, but this is Tina's first time.

Chesty had a lot to say about her trip to the vet, but she was otherwise very well behaved. Her thyroid's still in overdrive though, which means we'll probably have to up her meds. Poor old lady's 3.3kg right now.

My ADHD is the kind where you want to do literally anything but the thing you're trying to focus on. For example: yesterday instead of working in the afternoon I built a little stand so I can use my phone in tablet mode at my desk.

A wide phone stand made from a small cardboard box and grip tape.

Retirement? In this economy? Not for my 2012 Macbook Pro. Happy this didn't turn out to be a spicy battery, at least. I think I can get ten more years out of this thing.

Love these wings, and how well they dye.

It's not the most popular spec right now but I've realized why I'm enjoying Devourer so much. It's basically Red Mage. It's a mobile caster who rushes in, does a melee combo, and leaps backwards off ledges to it's doom. No wonder it feels so familiar and comfortable.

A character from World of Warcraft. She's a Void Elf, with long purple hair, horns curled like a ram would have, grey skin, and glowing green eyes. She's wearing a fancy red jacket with a ruffled cravat, and a cape thrown over one shoulder, a gold mask covering the top half of her face, with two big red feathers on the right side, and she's holding a rapier.

She's standing in front of a staircase in Silvermoon, the Blood Elf capital in World of Warcraft.

Little miss Chesty's not having a great week, she's been to the vet twice now and probably has a hyper thyroid, which would explain the unusual weight loss. We didn't realize at first because we thought she was just being more active after getting out of Roach Fungus apartment...

The perfect character creator doesn't exis... Oh my god! (Game is Hytale)

A low poly character (like a Minecraft character but slightly more detailed). She's got red/orange hair hanging down past her chin with bangs, blue eyes and brown glasses, Elf ears, and she's wearing an acorn in her hair.

She's wearing a black vest over a white long sleeve shirt, with a brown skirt, black shoes, and a green cape with gold trim.

I can't possibly move, there's a cat on me.

A black cat looking to the left (her right), with one greenish yellow eye visible. She's wearing an orange collar with an even lighter orange tag, she's got big white whiskers, her ears are up and pointed forward, and she's got one paw (her left) out towards the camera.

The cat is lying on a white pillow with gold coloured embroidery, on a greenish blue couch with some books on a shelf in the background, and an unoccupied cat tower further back.

Took a nap and when I picked up my glasses one of the screws was just... gone? Anyways, I've found a nice, subtle way to fix it.

A pair of black glasses with red legs lying down on a black surface. The legs are open, and one of them has a paperclip through the screw hole, holding it together, because the screw has mysteriously disappeared.

Been a long, tiring day spent in train stations and travelling, but I picked up a copy of Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social, which kept me entertained. Definitely recommended.

Did you know that you can just pick up and keep the Skritt in Ember Bay? Nobody's stopping you! #gw2

She's standing on rocks in front of a bay with ship masts in the background. The whole picture is tinted kinda red because it's a volcanic island.

Had a lovely evening at @studiostaja.bsky.social with @reeclian.bsky.social, making collages from old sexy magazines from the 1960s through the 90s.

A collage made up of clippings from a magazine, featuring pictures from the movie "Barbarella", as well as some costume photoshoots.

It's a full page spread of a topless hunky angel lying on his back, grabbing at the stomach and chest of a woman with black hair and feathers, with a see-through top.

The bottom of the collage from left to right has a picture of Barbarella (Jane Fonda) shooting a gun while being held by a hunky angel, a picture of Barbarella lying on her back kissing a white rabbit that she's holding in the air, a shot of Barbarella from behind as she removes a fur robe, and three grungy looking shirtless people, a man with big white hair, a bald man, and a woman with long brown hair.

Scattered around the page are small pictures of women in costumes posing against a white background.

A collage made up of magazine clippings. From left to right there's: A white statue of a unicorn with a gold horn reared up on it's back legs, a blonde woman with a big sword, a shield, and plate armour exposing her abs and thigh riding a snarling polar bear, a stylized woman with very striking eyes and a kind of swoopy white hairdo, a white wing with a thumb beneath it, and a square clipping of a bed with a headboard that's made up of scary people in robes.

Bottom left under the polar bear there's a small black and white cutout of some striking eyes with a mole, and in the upper right corner there's a black and white picture of a nose and some lips in a smirk.

There's text on the upper right of the collage that says "You always come back to the basics."

There's another block of text just down and to the right of the centre that reads: Bruna nodded. "He was about the age you are now," she said. The bus stopped, people climbed on, crowding the aisle. "Since then, twenty-seven years, always since then, it's been too late. For me. First too stupid, then too late. This time is for you. I missed mine."

Spent the day gardening with @reeclian.bsky.social , mostly moving things into bigger pots, and seeing if I can make some magic with clippings from the neighbour's cherry tree.

A set of grey backyard furniture up against a short concrete wall with a wooden trellis, with green leaves on top. Above the mini sofa is a set of cute little patio lights.

Beside the sofa on the left are a few small plant trimmings that may or may not turn into full trees eventually. Not sure, I'm new to this.

On the right of the sofa are what I believe to be some kind of milkweed, to make our backyard enticing to butterflies. To the right of that is a closed red umbrella.

The entire backyard is a big deck.

A backyard with waist high concrete walls and fully decked surface, with a brown and white aluminium shed. There's a small glass and grey pretend wicker coffee table, and a grey and pretend wicker chair with a small blue table on one side.

On the other side of the chair is a big blue pot with a large raspberry bush in it, and a bit further away is a big wooden pot with miscellaneous tall plants, and some orange flowers. Also not sure what they are, my partner bought most of the plants.

Behind that, next to the shed is a table with assorted potted plants including more raspberry bushes, though smaller, and an empty wide planter that will eventually have herbs and vegetables.

A backyard with a brown and white aluminium shed, and some pretend grey wicker furniture wish grey cushions, a small sofa and chair on the left, and another chair on the right, with a pretend wicker and glass table in the middle. There's a cute round blue table next to the chair on the right.

Surrounding the furniture and next to the shed on a table are various pots with plants that were just transferred into bigger pots.

The deck and furniture and pretty much everything else is all wet.

How too immediately improve my day: walk past these cuties.

Two cats lying next to eachother on a bed. The one in front is white with a few black/stripey patches, two on her forehead, and the one behind is a brown tabby, resting his chin on her outstretched arm.

The bed is white, and it’s got light blue and white floral (with stems) print blankets, and colourful pillows.

The white cat is resting her chin on the edge of the bed, and both cats are looking directly at the camera.

Phone surgery was otherwise successful and my used Blackberry Key2 has been converted to a red edition, but without the cellular signal it's kinda useless.

A tray with a used and worn out looking black Blackberry Key2 cell phone, next to a red chassis, red replacement keyboard, and a replacement screen. At the top of the tray is a pile of prying tools, spudgers, small screwdrivers, and tweezers, as well as a tupperware lid for storing the screws.

First sourdough with the new starter, and my first sourdough baked in a dutch oven. Still need to cut into it in an hour to make sure it's not, like, a Christmas Vacation turkey situation, but it looks so good so far, I am stoked.

I even saw her do a butt wiggle before pouncing towards Sarafina the other day, and I can’t remember the last time I saw her do that.

Two cats: On the left, Chesty, a black cat with a red collar crouched low to the floor, on the right Sarafina, a white cat with small tabby spots, is standing up holding onto a pole wrapped in beige rope. They’re facing eachother in a playful and alarmed manner.

At 14 years old, I should probably be concerned about how much weight Chesty’s lost recently, but ever since we moved out of that wretched apartment she’s been more active and playful than I’ve seen her in years.

Landlord wants to show the apartment this afternoon, and I feel like this 4-5 month old leaking, mouldy hole is going to be a dealbreaker. I covered it up when we found mushrooms growing in it.
