when i lived in islamabad, our neighbour was the guy known as the father of pakistan's atomic bomb. i had to pass by his house on the way to school & we would often wave to each other.

met some lovely cats up for adoption today. i would’ve taken them all if i could, but i was obsessed with these guys in particular. in another life, chester, otis & graham cracker.

a grey and white cat sleeping peacefully in a cage. according to his sign, his name is chester and he’s a gentle love-bug.

a white and ginger cat called graham cracker relaxing with his eyes closed.

sorry to be melodramatic, but this excerpt from that chatgpt article honestly makes me want to cry. what a vile, soulless way to engage with a topic like this.

a section of text from an article. it reads, “‘College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point,’ a student in Utah recently captioned a video of herself copy-and-pasting a chapter from her Genocide and Mass Atrocities textbook into ChatGPT.

urging you all to look at this little guy that we took home today.

a black, white and tan australian shepherd puppy with a white blaze marking on the right side of his face. he’s looking at the camera and panting softly.

the same puppy as before now resting his chin on his front paw and looking at the camera with a slightly doleful expression.

the same puppy now fast asleep and lying flat on his belly with his left leg sticking out behind him.

delighted to announce that i’ve discovered a new fun thing to do when i’m bored: imagining how i would explain aspects of modern society to various members of the franklin expedition over a ripped-screaming-from-their-timeline-&-dumped-in-front-of-me-for-15-minutes cup of tea.

abysmal reading month for me, lads, but! on the plus side, i have gotten back into painting/drawing, which i hadn’t realised just how much i’d missed. here are some february creatures.

a short bit of text that says

Prisoners of Geography by Tom Marshall (4.5/5)

digital art of a crab in various shades of dark blue with white highlights, against a light blue and white background.

digital art of four cormorant headshots in different styles. the top left is a pencil sketch; the top right is a clip-art style drawing; the bottom left is the same as the top right but with inverted colours; and the bottom right is the same pencil sketch with a slight glitch effect.

a blue and red betta fish with a thick pink highlight around its edges and a orange-yellow background.

shoutout to my aunt who, when i came out to her a couple of months ago, asked me when i was going to ‘transform’. english may not be her first language, but she’s just made it a million times better. i can’t wait to see the fear in my friends’ and family’s eyes when i declare that i’m transforming.

being obsessed with your own OCs that you’ve told no-one about is low-key hilarious bc all day every day, i’m making imaginary textposts for an audience of me & me alone that are like ‘when [____] & [_____] 😍’ & [_____] was so valid for [____] tbh’

i could never figure out how to spell newt geiszler’s name but now i’ve figured out the trick to remembering it: the s & the z are facing each other bc they’re kissing, bc s & newt are both bouba & z & hermann are both kiki. simple, foolproof. & that, ladies & gentleman, is why i should be president

proudly continuing my mission of adopting every single sad dejected plushie in sight - US edition. this guy was sitting at the bottom of a claw machine in an asian supermarket & i spent 10 dollars getting him out. he was worth every cent.

A plush hedgehog leaning against a white pillow on white sheets. He is white and brown with a smiling face and has a grey hat and bow tie. He has the vibe of a Sylvanian family character if you squint.

came out to my dad as trans today. i was expecting him to be surprised, ask a lot of questions & maybe argue with me about it; i was NOT expecting him to gently tell me he’s suspected for a while & that he still loves me no matter what. i really had to fight not to cry tbh.
