They/them I'm a grumpy, NB and ADHD opossum mostly here to enjoy everyone else's art. Loves pizza, foxes, opossums, star trek, Dinosaurs and godzilla too much. Woke liberal lefty. None of those are slurs to me. I'm really into subnarial notches right now.

I've had the odd crow, sparrow or house martin peering in at me thought the window before, a barn owl is a new one though

I was reading 'The Dragon has some Complaints' by @wiswell.bsky.social during my work lunch break today. I snort laughed so loud at the bad dragon line in chapter 45 I had to have an awkward conversation with my colleagues.

I can just tell from her expression she's charging up a scream

I bought some prints from @emmalerae.bsky.social a while back, took forever getting frames that fit them. Finally got them on the walls, looking awesome and making the dinosaur corner even more dinosaurie

A few months ago this cat wouldn't let anyone near them without hissing and spitting, now if she doesn't get cuddle time nine pm on the dot she literally climbs my shoulder and screams in my ear

Squeeing and saying 'It's so cute!' was probably not the reaction the creators were intending to the deathclaw in episode 4 of fallout. Love it so much! Quite sad that it's probably going to die next episode.

On an unrelated note this tyrannosaurus figure has lips and is chonky as heck. Those two things make me very happy

I think what I hate most about Trump is that he has taught us that laws are just words and that if you are a greasy enough fuckwit those words won't stick to you. What I fear most is not what he will do, but what a whole new generation of fuckwits will do with this new knowledge.

To break up the monotony of cat posts have a Twig from Hilda that I needlefelted.

Myrtle has been out of her crate for about a month now. She's had access to the rest of the house for the last week but seems very content in her room and only ventures out briefly to explore. She's very cuddly and playful now, just needs to get her confidence up a bit.

Hissing and spitting is gone replaced by little meows when she sees us and shes now actively initiating contact. I was worried that going to the vet to be neutered would knock her back but I was so happy when we got her home and she was happy to be back and we were still friends. Her names Myrtle

Cat distribution system happened. Neighbour found this kitten nearly dead a few weeks ago. No sign of an owner so I guess we have a new cat. They are still very unsure of people and this only happens after lots of spitting. In isolation from the other cats until we can the fiv/flv test done

Quit looking at my butthole creep!

I hate myself for being the person who picks up the toy animal and sniggers that they sculpted a butthole but someone put a LOT of effort into this spinosaurus cloaca and I feel it needs acknowledgement. Do you think it was a management decision or did the sculptor choose to go above and beyond?

Teaching a friend to needle felt, slugs seemed like a good starting creature

Had a go at needle felting, it's supposed to be a seal

For the first time in a few years the toads spawned in the garden pond, toadlets are super exciting but also stressful, don't think I can ever go in the garden again for fear of squishing them

We've loads of toad tadpoles (toadpoles?) in the pond this year, this is just a small group of them. Only had them one other year and then none for ages. Dunno why they are back now. It's fun to have them but i dread when the garden is full of tiny baby toads and walking anywhere is a massive stress

Not long until Grampian pride 2025 and I'm starting to get excited for it. We always volunteer stewarding the parade and it's always an excuse to rock the best leggings ever made. Combined with a high Vis vest and trying to look all official is an interesting vibe

Also one of the best bottle nose dolphin spots in the world. Wasn't even a boat trip to see them, they just turned up. The castle in the background was one of the default windows 7 home screens.

It's easy to forget how amazing home can and have to remind myself that 20 minutes away are some of the best seabird cliffs in the world. Everyone goes for the puffins but I think the razorbills are cooler. Not sure if puffin indifference just comes with being Scottish.

Posting old stuff to try and make my timeline interesting, been putting trail cams in the woods by the house for years and it took 3 to get a colour shot of a fox. Been finding pine marten poop in the garden so setting the camera up to try and get pics, know it will just be lots of cats though

This is Sophie, had her for eight years now. She's a rescue so no idea how old she actually is. She will try to eat you if you hassle her but she's very good and never flicks hair at me. She's just shed here and is doing the chill out lying flat on their belly thing they often do afterwards

Morning cat cuddles to start the day and my actual posting on here. Cat photos on the net? My creativity knows no bounds!
