two vast and trunkless legs are here to stay

Kathleen Jacques @kathmachine.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Whether it’s something odious (ai, nfts, metaverse) or just some harmless trend, imo the phrase “[thing] is here to stay” just reeks of a sort of desperate insistence, and also a bit of the hubris of a mythical king making prophecies assuming no vengeful or jokester gods are listening

I was showing one of the nice staff at the vet clinic photos of the cats and she said "you have a beautiful home", and... maybe I finally did it, you guys. after all these years, I'm an adult who isn't a disaster

I don't have big thoughts on the Ocarina of Time remake, but you know what I always liked about that game? It's full of strange, creepy little moments that it doesn't over-explain. Like, I love that eerie guy who sits under a tree at night and says "People are disgusting"

looking back through my camera roll and, oh man, I had FORGOTTEN the last and most unhinged thing I did in Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing character on the beach: "SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a forbidden altar!"

I have not only built "forbidden altar", but an entire horrible room for the forbidden altar. it's dark, and we've got fire and scarecrows and knives. my character is wearing a black robe and a gas mask

Got my birthday coming up on wednesday, and, I dunno, you guys, I have to make some kind of change this year ahead. I'm trying to frame it like...wow, I've been miraculously sent back in time, to when it was Not Too Late. gotta lock in and get in the scrooge waking up on christmas day zone

This week has felt like a real pile of trash in a hundred ways, but, I dunno, maybe I feel the wind changing. Got confirmation from a doctor today that something I was terrified about is almost certainly nothing. I'm alive with lots more left to do and love in this world, and so are all of you 👍

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I was trying on glasses today, and rejected all the chunky solid black ones with some shiny-looking detail at the corner of the eye on the grounds that they might be mistaken at first glance for those creepy ai camera glasses. R.I.P., another totally normal thing joins the sparkle emoji in heaven

remembering the time I walked downstairs and the whole lobby floor was covered in a spilled bag of dried peas. and, a few feet away just outside the front door, I saw a goose. And I was like…well, I’d sure know the next thing to do if this was an adventure game puzzle

I’ve spent the past 5-6 years with this eerie feeling like, I don’t know, the timeline glitched and I was originally “supposed” to die of covid in March 2020, but somehow cheated it, and that had strange effects. This is not consistent with any worldview I actually believe in, and yet!

this is the only apartment I’ve ever had that’s had a dishwasher, and it’s frankly ridiculous how load-bearing it’s become for my mental state. It broke for real a couple weeks ago, and I’ve just been like, all is lost, everything is doomed, there’s no future for me, Dish Sisyphus

2026, Year Of The Floradinn #deltarune

a bunch of silly little drawings of the Floradinn enemy from Deltarune Chapter 5. They're like little green and pink flower creatures. things depicted here include their being squashed flat in a book, watered with a watering can, impersonated by a shapeshifter fox, and wearing a little train conductor hat. text at the bottom reads FLORADINN WORLD

One way in which reading about amusement park accidents is wild is that it feels roughly equally likely that your death will be attributed to something called like "The Demonscreamer", or "Alvin's Chipmunk Chaos Nutty Squeak O' Round"

Some quick li'l Deltarune buddies

Drawings of my favorite Deltarune enemies on a black background: Floradinn (pink and green flower-like creature), Mizzle (pink and blue floating water fairy creatures), and Tasque (blue and white cat, angular and computer-y). There's also some scripty lettering with some dialogue from the game: "flowers over boys", "am i still dreaming?", and "this cat loves you"

blah, what a week. had to go home early from a nice trip to visit family because the cats were freaking out and wouldn’t take their medication. my sister (amazing) was able to go help out the cat sitter yesterday, so it’s sort of under control, but I couldn’t leave them like this several more days

this reminds me a little of my favorite wrong number: years ago late at night: missed call, and a voicemail with no context saying call back. I called the number back out of curiosity, and got the automated general reception at a hospital. i googled the number and figured out it was the MORGUE

two nights in a row having surreal dreams about book design. first I was reading "the scariest horror story of all time" which was scary because the book itself was just really really large, and then for some reason I had made a special edition of my Band Vs Band Vol. 1 that was printed in mustard
