Estrella is improving, but she remains in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis. We rescued her from a kill shelter the other day. If you'd like to help offset the enormous cost of saving this kitty, please consider contributing to her GoFundMe. #cats #catsofbluesky #rescue gofund.me/8bc2e7ac2

I saved Estrella here from being euthanized by a kill shelter tonight. She's got diabetic ketoacidosis and she's in rough shape. I rushed her from the shelter to the hospital and she's in the ICU right now. Please keep Estrella in your thoughts. I want to get to know her and take care of her.

Got this mini Astro City as an impulse Prime Day deal. I'm super happy with it. It has a great collection of games built in, including Golden Axe, Shinobi, Columns, Bonanza Bros., and Alien Syndrome (among others!). Great little console all around. #retrogaming

My TooManyGames console haul. After getting X3 last month, I couldn't pass up X2. And I love Mega Man Legends in all its forms, so that was a natural pickup. And I've heard great things about Gauntlet Legends, so I got it on a whim. #retrogaming

Mega Man X2 for SNES, Mega Man 64 for N64, and Gauntlet Legends for N64.

I was very lucky to run into @9thlevelgames.bsky.social at Too Many Games and pick up some Kobolds Ate My Baby! books (I haven't played since before the Polymorph edition). Always love the artwork by the amazing @muskratjohn.bsky.social. I'm excited to play again and introduce some new folks to it!

Racked my orange hibiscus gose to the secondary fermenter today. It smells amazing and it's a lovely shade of red. Shaping up to be around 4.6-4.7% ABV. It's going to be a long two weeks waiting for this one to be ready. #homebrewing

It's finally done! My Bubble Bobble tattoo was completed today by Ivy at Art Machine Productions in Bensalem, PA. You can find more of her work at www.ivylovespugs.com I got this tattoo in honor of my late mom, who introduced me to gaming with this game and played it with me hours. #retrogaming

It's not done yet (I go in for the rest of the color at the end of the month), but since it's Mother's Day and I got this in honor of my late mom, I wanted to share my new tattoo. We played Bubble Bobble for hours on end on the C64 when I was a kid. Missing you a lot today, mom.

Fifi and her three little arthritic legs walked all the way across the bedroom, up the ramp, and hopped onto the bed. That's a first for her, and she did it all by herself. She never ceases to amaze me with her strength and perseverance. #cats #catsofbluesky #petsky

Found an awesome FLGS in Philly called Runehammer Games. They were selling some really cool minis, and I picked up this bust of an aarakocra. I haven't painted anything in a really long time, and I'm hoping this kickstarts me back into the hobby. #minipainting

I think Fifi is having a rough day today. Between the hyperthyroidism, diabetes, being nearly 16, and the arthritis, she deals with a lot. But I just sit with her and give her pets and listen to her purr. She's a perfect baby, and I love her so much. #catsofbluesky #catsky #petsky

And that's a wrap! Nailed the original gravity, so now this will sit to ferment for 4-5 days, and then I'll move it to a secondary fermentation vessel after that, and then in a couple weeks, it will be bottling day! #homebrewing
