I'm going all in on Marshmallow this #FatBearWeek. Look at this absolutely rotund queen. HOW COULD IT BE ANYONE ELSE? 🐻👑 www.fatbearweek.com @fatbearweek.bsky.social
The Fat Bear week image for 131 Marshmallow. Showing how she looked in july (scraggly, emaciated, patchy coat) vs how she looked Sept. 9 (an absolute UNIT of a bear. The most rotund bear to ever bear. Ears? Fluffy. Eyes?Full of beady rage?" Butt? ROUND.)

We just finished a game of Pandemic Legacy 2 that we've played for over 4 years (only when a friend visits) We were about to lose and the last card played was "One Quiet Night" and we all fucking SCREAMED. Perfection.
Table strewn with items of pandemic legacy 2One Quiet night. Don't pull any bad cards that round.

My dad also died of small cell, but in 2015. So quick. I miss him like crazy. He loved hikes and driving to old rock and roll with the windows down and read the entire instruction manual of every car he ever owned. Thanks for sharing about your dad and giving me a momeny to think about mine. 💕
