You were our favorite hiding place, the place we could put everything we know we needed to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer. Farewell, my friend.

A photo of a memorial set up in the kitchen. In the center is a framed photo of Myshkin reaching out to hold my hand with his paw. Another framed picture sits adjacent, this one of his brother Zip, who passed away 4 years ago.

There are flowers around the two framed photos. Two lit candles sit on either side, one white like Myshkin, and the other black like Zip.

A letter to him sits on the counter, but has been blurred out for privacy.

You were by my side for half my life, and stuck around just long enough to make sure I finally found happiness. I'll never forget you, Myshkin. I'll miss you forever.

Myshkin, my cat, supportively laying a paw on my arm as I wake up in the morning.

Myshkin and I cuddled up under blankets, sleeping.

Myshkin, younger than in previous photos, sprawled out on his back in a giant bean bag.

ADHD brain thought: Why is Superman buff? If so I did ever was lift 1g objects, I would look like a bean pole. Does Superman work out? How? And why? I'm sure comic people actually know the answers, and I'm genuinely curious.

Some of us need to hear this around this time of the year, so, a little cheetah PSA: You are not a burden. You deserve to exist. You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy. ... Also, short days mess with your mood, so don't internalize that nasty feeling. The problem isn't you […]

Wind outside, please relax. You are trying way too hard, and you're going to hurt someone.

You may wonder how dinosaurs went extinct before cheetahs. Good question. :3

[Job hardship] Welp, I just lost my job. It was federal government stuff, and they kicked 98% of us due to decisions of the administration. I just found out today. It went into effect immediately, so I'm scrambling, especially with a lot of medical stuff just about to happen. X_X

[Superman first impressions, minor spoilers] Watched Superman! I've never been too big a fan. I've liked the potential more than any of the executions in the past. This one was probably the one I enjoyed the most, though! There were a couple of genuinely emotional moments that I quite enjoyed […]

We just lost one of the most talented people on our team because apparently people from China are all security risks now. >:| Besides being problematic for a number of reasons... we work on software for farmers. What is he going to do? Steal the secrets of growing too much corn?

I'm getting a little distressed by of how often someone messages me with an AI-written message. Even from family members. I get that communication is hard. However, I'm very detail oriented. I see the world through details, and that's how I know it. So, context, how someone organizes their […]

Well, this is... interesting. Current readings around Chernobyl. I have absolutely no idea what this means, but apparently Chernobyl is way more radioactive now?

Yay! I finished learning the notes for my first guitar song! I'm not *good* at it yet, but I can get the right sounds out of the guitar now! Got to keep going till it's all automatic. Now that I've learned the notes, I need to work on forgetting them. :D

Started trying to learn Take Me On from the Last of Us on the guitar. What the heck? Everything is a barre chord. Apparently, the zombie apocalypse left Ellie with tons of spare time to do nothing but get insanely good at those. I've only been at this for a couple weeks, so capo time! :D

when we say that "rest is revolutionary," what we mean is that a community of people given to setting themselves on fire to keep each other warm will eventually become a community of people too burnt out to help each other. this goes doubly so for my fellow chronically ill, disabled, and […]

Well. That's new. I just had a dream that abruptly began in media res. It started so suddenly I was actually startled and confused in the dream itself. In it, I woke in the dark, in the middle of the night, loudly playing the piano. Everyone got woken up and started yelling at me. I had no […]

Started teaching myself guitar! Really fun (if hard). The bad part is I can't practice as long as I want to because my fingers hurt too much too quickly. ;_;

A photo of Shadow Cheetah's face pressed RIGHT up into the camera, peering into it. The photo is blurry from being so close. Shadow's big snoot takes up most of the frame.

[AI, Software Development Work Gripes] I'm fairly sure my coworker is doing pull requests by asking an AI to find something wrong with code. And then the rest of us are dealing with trivial nitpicks, suggestions for bad design, or suggestions that flat out explode because the AI hallucinated […]

I finally, finally have a little time to play a video game. Instead, I've spent the last couple days failing to even start up a game, thanks to low energy, guilt over taking a break, and constant anxiety over nothing specific. Why ADHD? Why? We FINALLY have a chance! There's dopamine in those […]

Shadow Cheetah on stage in BLFC dance competition. The picture catches a moment with an overly dramatic pose, and the two glowsticks look like the galaxy's teeny tiniest light sabers.

I keep really wishing that I could do 3D animation in VR. Just depth perception would be nice so you don't have flip between a bunch of axes all the time. But it'd also be neat to be able to physically move and twist limbs or objects by hand, or physically point the camera while a scene is in […]

It's always silly how the simpler your pull request, the more feedback you get - and the more pointless the feedback becomes. But if you submit a 10000 line change all at once, everyone just approves it.

I just noticed something cool in Baldur's Gate 3. When that kid that does the coin flip scam tosses the coin, you can see that her thumb is above, not below the coin. This isn't an animation error. This is a good way to do the trick.

Screenshot from Baldur's Gate 3. A tiefling girl begins to flip a coin, her thumb positioned oddly above the coin.
