If you can sew a zip fly, you can absolutely make jeans! The rest is just topstitching

Are renewals free in Canada and the UK? Often in the US refinancing has a cost but it's advantageous anyway if you aren't expecting to sell for a while (often 5+ years)

Bearcat believes he can fly #TabbyCat
A tabby cat lays in a window bed facing the camera. His front legs are outstretched and dangling. He thinks he's Superman.

Making s'mores rice crispy treats. I like to start off every batch by bringing the campfire indoors and sacrificing a bag of marshmallows to the kitchen gods.

Bikes are an economic disaster. The only things I bought for my bike in the past year were brake pads. At this rate, how are corporations going to make money? How are they going to buy politicians? How will I ever go into debt? Who are we going to bomb? The whole foundation of our economy is shot.

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle
A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

"Totally Normal Initiative" #seattle #doomloop @nohateinwastate.bsky.social
-Brian Heywood here! I want to address some disinfo about Initiative 638
-It will not, as they claim, force all children to undergo mandatory genital inspections
-the *truth* is it would only require *girls* to have their genitalia inspected
-and that's only if they want to play organized sports!
-[zooming in] this is totally normal stuff, folks
-[extreme closeup of Brian's bloodshot eyes] Don’t get all weird about it!

I've tried to curl mine and they are not into it. Maybe they'd sit in a box attached to a bar if supplied with a steady stream of churu...

Apparently yesterday was International Cat Day. I was too busy hand sewing this little felt banana slug to notice. Bearcat celebrated by napping. #TabbyCat #SewingSky
A view of the upper third of a tabby cat curled in a window bed in bright sunlight. His whiskers are up and his green eyes are open. A yellow hand-sewn felt banana slug rests across his shoulders and obscures his nose. He is deeply unimpressed and cannot be bothered to chomp it.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

If I could have a magic box that would let my cats understand me for only one sentence, that sentence would be, "For fuck's sake, throw up on the bare floor and not on the goddamn carpet"
Sugar the cat, who just went out of her way to move off the bare bathroom floor to throw up on the hallway carpet AND ALSO ON THE STAIRS, JEEZ

Bearcat is having a very good July day. #TabbyCat #AdoptDontShop
A tabby cat lays on his side in a plush gray window bed. He is illuminated by bright sunlight. He presses both front paws to the window, while turning his face back towards the camera with blissfully closed eyesThe same tabby cat has melted in the window bed. His shoulders and one front paw are draped over the side, resting on the windowsill. Allegedly he is a vertebrate but it's hard to tell in this pose

Cat butt photo bomb. Photo from my collection. 1955.
Black and white photo - a slim, laughing man standing on a lawn is the subject of the photo but he is nearly eclipsed by the fluffy butt of a cat passing through the foreground.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Close up on Quark, a Ferengi guy with a smooth and domed head that kind of looks like a butt and huge exaggerated earlobes that connect like a unibrow across his forgead. He also has nose loaf that kind of looks like a pine cone.  He is pursing his mouth and doing a 'Jim from The Office' look to camera. Closed caption reads, "baseball, root beer, darts, atom bombs."

“It’s 10 o’clock somewhere!” ~ me falling into bed at 8 pm.
Jove decadent
Decadent young woman, after the dance
by Ramon Casas
1899

Description from https://oldandboldco.com/

The painting portrays a young woman seated in a moment of quiet reflection, still wearing her extravagant gown from a night of dancing.

The Subject: The young woman’s pose is languid yet self-assured. With her head tilted back slightly and her gaze directed away from the viewer, she exudes a mix of fatigue, satisfaction, and defiance.

The Atmosphere: The muted tones of the background contrast with the vibrant colors of her gown, highlighting her as the focal point of the composition.

The Mood: The painting captures a fleeting moment of rest after indulgence—a snapshot of vulnerability that feels timeless and deeply human.

He started strong by getting into a cabinet the vet tech left slightly open and snarlinh when she tried to shoo him out. That's when we decided to deploy Churu. He trotted right out and sat happily. He's a little monster.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

If you disagree, find me a recent source specifically proving Descartes wrong. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/gland PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
3-panel SMBC comic update. A caption above the first panel reads "fact: Rene 
Descartes said the soul was located in the pineal gland." The art in the panel shows Descartes saying "you have one soul. you have one pineal gland. QED, the pineal gland is the soul." The second panel shows the 2D structure of neurotransmitter melatonin saying "relax, baby" as the caption above the panel reads "fact: modern science says the pineal gland is the source of melatonin." The last panel begins with "from which it follows:," showing a man grabbing a jar of melatonin supplements, and saying "Enter my body, unborn souls, and lay waste to my moderate jetlag!"

Cats are on a catpage (like a rampage but feline) today. Little Captain Janeway wants to melt with Bearcat in the window bed but he doesn't share well. #TabbyCat
A lazy tabby cat lays in the sun in a window bed with a front paw outstretched, coming down from a slap. Another tabby cat lurches away from the paw. The view out the window is a bright blue sky and maple leaf branches.

Breakfast was served at 6 which apparently wasn't early enough. #TabbyCat
A partial piece of bread is in a Ziploc bag on the floor. It has been chewed open and chunks of bread are scattered around. A short haired tabby cat (who has never missed a meal and yet is convinced that his humans will forget to feed him) blurs across the front of the photo.
