I don't have the funds for a Switch 2 but damn if I'm not drooling over the Ocarina of Time remake.

In honor of National Dog Day, I give you some art from my vet’s office:

A simple sketch of a cat sitting on its butt staring at the viewer with prominent whiskers to each side, labelled at the top “The Perfect Dog”

Hobbes wants you to know that ball got what it deserved. (That sumbitch knows what it did)

An orange tabby cat named Hobbes grips the side of a 3’ tall scratching post with his claws, hanging on it vertically. In his mouth he’s biting and holding a floofy ball that’s tethered to the top of the scratching post.

It’s kind of like King Kong on the Empire State Building, but with a cuter and dumber animal.

“Why yes, hooman, this is a *great* place to start planning my takeover of the world.” - Hobbes the himbo, aka the HobbesGoblin

A selfie of me: I’m a middle aged white male with a mostly white beard and blue glasses, wearing a dark blue plaid shirt and a brown hat that mentions “Scum & Villainy” from Star Wars.

On my shoulder stands a 10 pound orange tabby cat named Hobbes. He’s looking downwards as he’s just walked across my shoulders and head with the help of the top of the chair behind me, and is about to jump down. He looks sus af!

My sign for the No Kings march in Portland on Saturday. I got so many chuckles and folks asking to take (or just taking) pics. #PortlandFrogs #NoKings #pdx

A poster sign that says “Frogs against ICE-holes”. It has a frog face for the O in frogs, and a “Portland Frog” kicking a king to the side. The word ICE is in blue while the rest are black.

A poster sign that says No Kings. The dot of the I is half a crown, with the other half being kicked away by a “Portland Frog”.

This is how I access Bluesky

A wallpaper of the game Portal 2. It has the iconic blue portal with Wheatley, a robot that looks like an eyeball, looking out from it. In front of the portal is GLADOS, the enemy operating system from Portal 1, reduced down to a potato battery.

Our newest, Hobbes, decided that the perfect time to slink around my feet and cause me to stume was when I was one step away from the litterbox … while carrying an open bag of litter to refill it. There’s a reason I call the jerk HobbesGoblin

Meme of Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story. Buzz is holding his hand up gesturing, saying “Litter. Litter everywhere”.

A closeup of an orange tabby cat named Hobbes. He sits in a cat tree with our bedroom in the background. He looks cute and innocent, the latter of which is a damned lie.

the experts don’t want you to know this *one simple trick* to get folks to overlook you skipping leg day

Hobbes, our orange tabby cat, is adoringly laying along the length of my shin, asleep with his eyes closed. My legs are on an ottoman laid out horizontal, and Hobbes is basically facing the camera.

Years ago, the events coordinator at a Pat Rotfhfuss signing had an art friend make a poster involving some friendly joke insults traded between Rothfuss and Jim Butcher. I bought it and had Rothfuss sign then. Yesterday, I finally saw Butcher at a signing and got it finished. 1/3

A poster print signed by Patrick Rothfuss and Jim Butcher. The heading reads “Pat Rothfuss loves Jim Butcher”, and it has a block of text near the signatures that reads:
“This poster is approved by Pat Rothfuss and seriously offends, creeps out, disgusts, and otherwise is not approved in any way, shape, or form by Jim Butcher”.

The art features Jim Butcher (looking like his character Harry Dresden) mad on a balcony. He is wearing leather duster, hat in hand, and has a comic-y thought bubble above his head showing a skull to indicate his anger. Below, Pat Rothfuss (looking like his character Kvothe) plays a lute and serenades Jim. He is dressed in a green cloak and his lute has a broken string.

I know exactly what Hobbes sounds like! His meow is very rich and … warbly. (This young kitty is our Hobbes)

An orange cat, with tabby stripes and a white chest, is lounging on a navy colored ottoman. His name is Hobbes. He looks like he intentionally posed for the pic with his feet tucked under him and tail perfectly curled around his front.

Not gonna lie, I was gonna cheat cause I didn’t like my first word. So I did this twice … and got this same word twice. Slapdash. FML.

Screenshot of the dictionary Merriam-Webster’s Bluesky account with the text:

“Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026. Let's. Go.”

The gif in mention cycles through a whole bunch of words.

My screenshot shows:
“Your 2026 Word: slapdash”

Instead of being given coal, what really happens to naughty kids for Christmas:

A Christmas tree that is clearly a mimic, with a wide open mouth as part of the greenery and ornaments looking kind of like eyes, a single clawed wooden foot for its trunk, and festive with garland and lights and a star topper.

Hobbes would you you to acknowledge him as a real human boy, as indicated by his real human boy sitting posture and usage of the phrase “real human boy”, as only a real human boy would do.

All you need to do is get fat like your friend Thor (and tomorrow is the perfect holiday to start adding them pounds on!)

A friend shared this from another social media site. I don’t know the original artist to credit them. But damn, the frogs are apparently the biggest, baddest military force ever, considering how “war ravaged” our Portland is supposed to be.

Time to write our (were)name ON THE MOON!

An image of Chairface Chippendale from the 90s cartoon The Tick. One ot Chairface’s “sinister evil” plots was to carve his name in the moon via a giant laser, but Tick stopped him after only ”CHA” was written.

Appropriate, old post from the bad site

A 2020 Twitter (ugh, sorry) screenshot by @MNateShyamalan (Nate of the living dead) with the text:

imagine being the CEO of spirit halloween. you only work a single month a year and you make 10 billion dollars. your only job is sell skeleton. life is good.

and then some FUCKER from HOME DEPOT says "we are going to make one taller than god."

The sad Pablo Escobar meme, but it’s just our kitten Hobbes flopping around and sleeping in different positions.

If you don’t use alt text, why not? It’s such an easy way to not be ableist towards low- or no-vision users. It often even gives context for folks, abled or not, who wouldn’t know what an image was showing otherwise. And there’s even a setting to require it before posting! Alt yo text, yo

Screenshot from an iPhone showing the section for Bluesky > Settings > Accessibility. It has a toggle for “Require alt text before posting” that is toggled on, which means my app won’t let me post an image without entering alt text.

Alt texts are cool, yo.

I ordered a new tank the INSTANT I saw they were on preorder. The very freaking SECOND. And if they had baby onesies I would have had to talk myself out of ordering one for our new kitten Hobbes, so he could rock his very own HOBBES GOBLIN SUMMER look

We got new chairs a few days ago but have been informed by The Management that they aren’t, in fact, our chairs at all.

Two blue swivel chairs with half backs sit at the edge of a living room next to the open kitchen behind it. Each chair has a cat in it. Those cats aren’t ever gonna share, we’ll just have to buy more chairs I guess.

There aren’t many things I’d willingly endure cramped forearms for, but a cute sleeping kitten is one. Hobbes has been this way for almost 30 minutes now, but check out his cute toebeans! #toebeans #kitten

We have a new predator-in-training, Hobbes. But Hobbes wants to know how he can be an apex predator like @fiascothecat.bsky.social! He can handle the worm and mousie, but hopes to soon tackle more dangerous pray, like a shrimp or fishy.
