Welp, today is going to be spent prepping everything outside for #HurricaneIsaias. I didn't even know it was coming this way until I got an email from my complex. I don't THINK I need anything else, except maybe gas & bottled water. If you'd like to toss a few coins for either: CshApp/Vmo: foxrook

lol ordered fancy yogurts to go with the low carb wraps I was getting since I was paying for shipping anyway. One flavor had a best by date of Sept 12, the other of Oct 2. I received this box on Oct 5. JFC.

Weirdly, a bunch of stuff I’ve read in the last week or so - both pro and fan written - have used “breathe in for four, out for four” as a way to calm characters down. Did this get popularized somewhere? I guess it’s better than when everyone was “breathe in blue, exhale pink”.

This tiny bee rode my shoulder for most of the lunch time dog walk so i dropped her in some asters to get lost in the sauce.
A tiny bee, no more than a quarter inch long, covered in pollen as she sits on the purple sepals of a New York aster. Tiny bee going back into the disc of the aster for more nectar.

from the archives, I found one of my first Procreate drawings: @octopusgallery.bsky.social 's pathetique Penny 🎻🥺 lmao
a doodle in procreate of a dark dog who is basically a fuzzy blobby approximation of a dog shape, with huuge shining wet eyes, a vioin playing whilst hovering in the background, and a word balloon in which hangs a pair of sad eyes. clearly you should give her whatever you are eating because she has never been fed a day in her life, so sad she is. also lies.

It’s a bit early for this but if you want a goat tote for the winter holidays, I’ve got a limited number available. And given how USPS has raised rates for the holidays the last two years, you may want to get your birds early. ko-fi.com/octopusgalle...
A collection of tote bags made out of goat feed bags. Tote bag made out of a poultry feed bag. Has a large brown hen and eggs on the front. A collection of four photos of a long haired brown and white cat wrestling a stuffed bird toy.

I've got 3/4 flags quilted and I had to change to a different bobbin color for the 4th so I haven't started on that one yet and I'm like "yes I could get it done before bed but uuuugh." So perhaps I will not.

local grocery stopped carrying the low carb wraps that are actually low carb and not full of sugar alcohols and fiber they try to say won't hit my bg so I'm looking at buying it through a restaurant supplier. I could also get 9 lbs of yogurt! or 30 lbs of frozen papaya!

Since people are excited about these: I need to raise £60ish to buy the required labels, after which the hats will be £120 (which only covers labour. Yarn costs are negligible since it's upcycled from donated and thrifted yarns). Each one will be unique, since it's ends of balls.
