Today, October 11th, marks "Coming Out Day" so I get to remind you that, yes, I am a queer person. You are not alone, and you can be who you are. 🏳️‍🌈💜

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

Some European (especially Dutch) online clothing stores may have long fit shirts designed for tall and slim people. Maybe check those?

I wanted to make a stupid joke about 'overnight' being not nearly as long as some people claim to have a "bun in the oven" for *months* on end, but I can't think of a good punchline 🥺

Also: multiple brushes, or a shower-type faucet like they use in professional kitchens. Do a hot water pre-rinse (or use a special "dirty" brush), for sanitizing the really dirty stuff and foodmesses. Finally, use the brush with the built-in soap dispenser for hygienic cleaning.

One of the game-changers for me, to actually 'quickly' wash up a single plate and some cutlery: buy one of those brushes with a built-in dishsoap dispenser. One quick press of the button, hot water straight off the tap, brushy brushy, and you're done!

Hell yeah! Hope there will be lots of fun, positive, and awesome things in your future 💪🤘

A Pokémon that disguises/masks to try to fit in and appear to be normal? Couldn't be me... right?!

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Ooooh, I wonder where they got *that* genius marketing idea from... 😑

Screenshot of the Kickstarter promo blurb for the MetMo Precision Grip, stating:

"Doctor, Doctor, I've Lost My Grip!
Are you thinking 'if only this was safe for surgical use and I could clean it in an autoclave?' Well, you're in luck! We've made a fully surgical stainless steel version just for that purpose. This is designed to withstand corrosion and the most stringent working conditions possible, so if you want hardcore durability, this is your tool."

Screenshot of the Q&A on the MetMo Stainless Steel Driver, dated 2026-08-16, with me asking:

"Asking for a friend: is the stainless steel version Driver autoclavable as a complete unit?"

But Ruki, I thought that gotes have legendary digestive systems, being able to *destroy* absolutely *anything*, right? Anyway, please be careful okay? 🥺

That's on a whole other level though, you need to do focus stacking with dozens or hundreds of images combined, to get a decent depth of field shot in your end result 😬

Off-camera flash is the *GOAT*, try bounce the light off of reflective surfaces, or use something to enlarge the spread of the flash. Also, for macro flash photography, get one of those diffusers that go around your lens, so the subject gets illuminated from all around. Those things are awesome!

You should've said something like "Oh, sorry, I didn't recognize you with clothes on" 🤓

Do you hear that rumbling noise? It's the sound of the furry fandom collectively grinding their gears in coming up with awesome new OC and fursona ideas, based on this cat 🥰😻

I *kind* of get why some people would do that, but yeah, it's not very friendly to those that actually would like to connect, or do business. I don't think those are my kind of people either, I just can't imagine me asking someone for money up front, just to have the "privilege" to interact with me.

I am on BARQ! Hoping to find local floofs, meet up at cons, and maybe even find romance and my soulmate. barq.app/@dvanzuijlekom

Oooh, I saw these clothespins during the last con but didn't understand it (there was no text on them). The idea in itself is cute, but yeah, the fursuiter *needs* to be able to explicitly consent to this, otherwise it's definitely a no-go.
