No cheating, repost with your most recent photo of your pet (Part way through almost three hours of screaming in the car.)
The account owner, a woman in sunglasses, rides in a car holding a cat in a harness. Neither appear terribly thrilled in the moment.

Today makes seven days since I’ve been back in NYC, and it’s been the quietest week I’ve had in ages. After several exhausting months, it was long overdue.

I would never want to be too self-serious about my day job, and the fact that I regularly type silly phrases like “git stash pop” helps.

“If I was a parent, I’d be worried about me too.” This season of The Bear has been emotionally shattering in this best way possible.

I’m on the verge of missing the opportunity to dress as Trillian and throw a Hitchhiker’s Guide themed party for my 42nd next month…

Because I’m a woman on the internet, the algorithm sends me content such as “things you can do to glow up in a month.” Let me tell you that half of them I was already doing, and the other half was unscientific nonsense. So I guess this is peak! Next stop: stagnation and decline!

Hey @quod-matter.bsky.social can you confirm whether I’ve gone mental?? I saw these caps in a store and they remind me of one that Emma wore (with a catsuit?) but now I can’t find photos of her in anything closer than a newsboy cap.

Happy Space Mardi Gras to those who celebrate. Remember to wear your festive head gear, as long as it is of the period!

Breathing new life into an old pair of boots, because costuming means never leaving well enough alone.

In addition to Zoe from The Krotons, for @gallifreyone.bsky.social I’ll be rewearing these four costumes. At some point I’ve got to get more consistent photo documentation than hotel mirror selfies!

Just over a week before I fly out to @gallifreyone.bsky.social, and I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t still very deep in costume creation mode. (Those white bits are just paper! 😬)

I’m so pleased to announce that I’ll be paneling about cosplay at @gallifreyone.bsky.social this year - Classic Who and B7 being my favorite domains! If you’ve got any questions about my unconventional process, here’s a time to ask them (or for the unfiltered version, at the bar in the evenings 😂)

Carrying my renewed love of baths from last year into this one. May I suggest taking long soaks, sinking deeply in, and reading books while enveloped in bubbles. [sent from the tub]

A 2016 throwback to working on my friend John’s film in Austin TX: when my job was literally neck breaking! Still staring at monitors, but much more ergonomically.

Fifty years ago introduced the world to Tom Baker’s Doctor, and he was the first incarnation I ever saw. Meeting him was an unexpected opportunity, a highlight of the year!

I could write my own, just as long, version of Lister’s rant from Timeslides. “I’m just totally, totally sick of it.”

I woke up to just enough messages about it snowing in the UK that I have to keep reminding myself that we’re not having a snow day here.
