A rat foot. One of its digits is partially missing.

sable sleeps like she's dead and it bothers me

A mink colored rat sleeping in a strange position with her eyes slightly open. She is squeezed between two other rats in a basket.

The same rat getting her little head poked with a single finger. She is awake.

She is looking at the poker, disgruntled.

i can't hide it in food she knows it's there

a crude sketch of a rat being firmly gripped in one hand while the other hand holds a syringe full of medication. The rat has an open mouth full of this medication that she is not swallowing.

The drawing is captioned, with arrows pointing to the relevant locations:

Rat who knows she'll be let go faster if she just lets me put the medicine in her mouth

half-spent syringe of meloxicam

mouthful of meloxicam that will be spit out immediately upon her release

Guess who has an ear infection! 🙃

The face of a russian blue velveteen rat. Her right eye has visible scar tissue. The other eye is normal.

A photo down the right ear canal of a dumbo rat. There is something wet and shiny in there, as if it's full of liquid. The flash is on because she can't see shit out of that eye and it makes what's in her ear more apparent.

The liquid from her ear soaked into the tip of a bluntly rolled piece of paper towel. It's pinkish.

Fish is staying overnight at the emergency vet. We think she has pyometra. She's in really rough shape and I can't sleep. Pic is from like a month ago.

we're likely saying goodbye to her today so i fried an egg just for her. She can have the whole thing if she can manage it. it's her favorite food. she seems to have a pituitary tumor. she also has another mammary tumor in a spot that's gonna be dangerous if left alone, it's just... it's time

i love getting really tired and googling completely absurd bullshit

AI Overview

No, rat poop cannot be sold for $800 a bucket, it does not gain viable commercial value as a lsurry, and you should absolutely not feed it to your enemies.

this is the funniest animal i've ever seen.

how i leave myself notes apparently the weirdo (me) yelling about poop men in the first screenshot is correct; do you see where the poop men can get in? this used to be (probably still is tbh) a common way databases would get breached, despite query preparation and parameterization being in place

A screenshot of code comments reminding the programmer to implement basic safety measures before unleashing anything onto the real internet. This doesn't need to be done immediately during development because it's a safe environment, and this early in, the goal is to get something working at all.

The text is green on a dark background and in all caps. It reads:

TODO: THE QUERIES FOR THIS API THING ARE CURRENTLY VULNERABLE TO POOP MEN
DON'T FORGET TO BUILD THE ANTI-POOP TOOLS

TODO: ANYTHING THAT PULLS OUT A DISPLAY_NAME THAT IS TO BE USED IN A LAYOUT NEEDS THE POOP CHARACTERS TURNED INTO ENTITIES FIRST
TBH THIS PROBABLY APPLIES TO BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO END UP IN A LAYOUT
SO MAKE SURE TEXT IN GENERAL CAN'T POOP UP A FORM WHEN IT GETS PULLED IN FOR EDITING
BUT ESPECIALLY DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE DISPLAY_NAME WHEN IT'S NOT COMING OUT OF THE USER OBJECT

A screenshot of PHP and SQL code. The SQL query hasn't been assigned to a variable for some reason and is its own problem, but there are a couple user supplied variables toward the end of it that could be turned into SQL injection attack vectors if left unvalidated, namely "$order_by", "$offset", and "$limit". Everything else is already either supplied directly by the system itself, or already explicitly handled.

i have been drawing more often lately. it has resulted in a new kind of guy. i'm sorry.

Cartoon illustration of a guy who had his ass skin stapled to his head and his head and hair stapled to where his ass skin used to be. He looks disgruntled. He's wearing shoes, socks, a watch, and nothing else. There is a black bar over his genitals with the word "penis" written on it.

doing research into REST APIs to make sure i'm on the right track with my plans for a thing i'm building and the information i'm finding about the topic is just shit like this idk why i'm so insecure in my abilities when this is the tutorials that alleged professionals are providing 💀

responses to what. what the fuck does this mean. if i click "apply" is a chatbot going to appear and start talking to me. why is that necessary. if there's no chatbot, then why is that line there. get the fuck out of my art software i'm so tired of this.

a beanie baby, for those who think i mean the weird looking modern ones

Ray @tuxedodemon.com · 08/08/2026

it's always funny to me when i mention to someone i keep rats as pets because most of the time the reaction is confusion or thinly veiled revulsion and it's funny bc this is what a rat looks like. pink nose, soft fur, and eyes like a beanie baby. the stuff of nightmares, apparently.

It is baby, but not so baby that it needs human help. It should be fine on its own. Released!

Squirrel ate my special melon I've been photographing so i set out another trap, and, uh. Well, you're definitely not a squirrel. But I also think you might be a baby and now i need to figure out what to do.

She's developed an interest in this little tube of medicated eye ointment for some reason and keeps stealing it off my desk. You can see her teeth marks lol

A little tube of eye ointment. There are rat teeth indentations barely visible.

Every time i look at this creature i chuckle sadly. Hope the fur grows back. I mean, I'd rather she do this when the cone is off than have her not be coned--she WILL open her stitches--but i really wish she would've just let me wash her face for her.

A black rat. All the fur around her eyes is gone because she pulled it out.
