What is wrong with this sign? (aside from its existence)

I hurriedly made two of the t-shirts in my Cricut queue so that I can wear them at Worldcon.

white t-shirt emblazoned with PUMNT in collegiate-style blue-on-blue lettering. underneath in much smaller letters, it reads Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland.

My new shoes came! I don't actually need another pair of sneakers just yet. But I couldn't resist this limited edition color.

“Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist” Do Muppets count? If so, I think I'll be okay. (I don't save celebrity pics. Except possibly for memes.)

Tiny, annoying, cross stitch unicorn. If ever there was a use for even-weave linen, this plethora of quarter and three-quarter stitches is it.

blue-point Siamese The body color is the palest possible blue.

small cross stitch of a seated cat looking at the viewer. the body color is an extremely pale blue, the ears, face, legs, and tail are blue-gray, and it's outlined in a slightly darker, purpler blue. pale blue backstitching around the sky-blue eyes and the nose and mouth bring out the facial details.

"Sea of Love" iris that I planted last fall. The pictures online looked blue, but it's definitely purple. I love it.

Another merkitty, green this time. Not going to make the other four colors at this time.

cross stitch of a cat loafed up--except it has a green striped mermaid tail curled around with the fins in front. the back half almost looks like a snail shell.

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. One of two cats that roam the neighborhood. This one might be feral. (The other one wears a collar and is much friendlier.)
