It's really satisfying to me to be able to hold a real picture, that was just taken in game seconds before I am *IN* the game!!!

It has been exactly one year since I've met my cat at the local animal shelter! Back then she was in quarantine, struggling with a virus, all alone :( I am sooo glad that she is well now, and very thankful for all the shelter's volunteers who took care of her. Love you forever, dear Coquillette 💖
My cat Coquillette, back at the S.P.A. (french animal shelter non-profit association), in a cage in quarantine. She looks sick, and couldn't open her right eye the poor thing 😭Coquillette, mid-yawn, looking funny with her open mouth. Fun fact: she only has 6 teeth left, because of her disease 🫣Coquillette, very relaxed, during a nap next to the windows. We can see trees outside.Coquillette on my desk, looking directly at the camera above her. It's a very very small cat, who looks funny standing on a desk.

After a loooong break, I’ve gotten back to my space photography solo project! 📸🛰️🦠 And I decided to get rid of my menu systems, everything is now physical and diegetic, and I really enjoy how chaotic it gets having to handle your own freshly printed photos in low gravity!

Also you have to listen to Caroline Polachek while reading the book 💞

The latest comic book from @decassette.bsky.social, Cat Café, is so so great ❤️ Slice of life of a cat baker living in a little Pacific island, with the one-of-a-kind style of Linnea Sterte To me, it feels a bit like having the focus of a story being on the Porco Rosso hotel Adriano island !
My cat next to the cat café comic bookA page of cat café, where the main character Ophélia rides her bike in a very beautiful and detailed street, next to a pillow shot of flowers and birds in the skyA page with a description of a pistachio cake, with a great rendering of the cake The main character Ophélia goes to sleep in her bed, taking a very cute pose

More footage of the dolly zoom jump ! At any time you can switch from moving freely to zooming. When you zoom in on a jump target, you can get so close to it that your character will be actually pulled in its direction, making for some interesting shortcuts 💫
