So it's been a minute. Been so very busy with work. Technically I am working now. But had to finally share my gorgeous goodies from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social that came ... recently. I have no concept of time right now tbh.

A line up of rings.

L to R
A black signet ring with a marijuana leaf on it.
A large oval abalone ring in blues and greens.
A band ring with stars and planets on it
A domed ring that is shades of blue and silver. It reminds me a bit of batik clothes.
A wild, spikey ring with a rough green stone, gold and black sprigs that look like branches.

The same rings in the previous picture on the hand of a white woman with a hand tattoo. Next to it is a pair of abalone bird earrings that both make me think of aliens and African statues. The second set of earrings is a pair of foiled leaves that glint in the light like crazy.

Close-up shots of the two earrings, the abalone on the left and the leaves on the right.

If you'd like a follow-up picture, he's grown just a teeny bit.

A large tabby cat lies in bed, on his side to show off his very large and soft spotted tummy. He wants to know why you are disturbing nap time with Daddy.

This is Yancy. We found him in a wall when he was about 2 weeks old.

A tiny tabby kitten stands on his back legs with his front paws on a tablet. He still has ears that are a bit folded down and a tiny spear of a kitten tail. There is no blanket on the bed because a few minutes before this, he missed the pee pad and peed all over the bed.

We've got a very intense order today. Very large, hard to knead. This is 30 seconds of what has been a good 5 minutes of biscuit making. Yancy takes orders day and night. He's very committed to his customers.

I mean, I got one for exactly that reason.

A white woman stands in a yard, holding her hair up to show her undercut. Her hair is green and blue. The undercut is a neon yellow and green.

Pray tell, what is the beauty circled here? Also, um. The little weed symbol ring in the 2nd picture. I have a reputation to maintain and a weed ring would help there.

A tray of rings is displayed on a ring tray. A blue almost batik-ish ring is circled. It looks vaguely like a mushroom.

Nice spread. I see we are doing the same thing this afternoon.

The photo is a collection of gear for smoking weed. There's a bong, a one-hit wonder, and a Carta focus. There is also a box of salonpas patches and a bottle of icy hot spray.

Oh boy do I have a chonk. This is Yancy. We found him in the wall. He was not even a pound then. He ... uh made up for that rough start.

Yancy, a very big chonky tabby cat, lies on a heating pad, a brown paper bag, and his playmat. He looks directly at the camera with bright green eyes.

His head looks small compared to his body, but rest assured, all of him is lorge.

Yancy, a chonky tabby, sleeps on his back, showing off a very soft and lorge tummy. He is on his heating pad, and has a few of his treasures around him – paper bag, ponytail holder, and gold string. He is a magpie and enjoys trash.

Yancy, half-asleep, peers up at you with one eye open and the other barely open. He is rumpled and lying on a fluffy coat he and the dog stole for their bed nest.

Yancy, a chonky boy, lies on his side towards the camera. He is asleep, with his front paws curled up near his chest. The large expanse of his very soft tummy is showing.

He rests on more stolen treasures – bubble wrap and a new, larger paper bag.

Please ignore my roots. So it definitely is tight. I start closer to the top of the ear and slide it down.

A silver feather ear cuff sits right above the lobe of a white woman's ear. The cuff shines.

A couple of new beauties from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social today. I snatched both of these as soon as I saw them.

A silver wing ear cuff is being held between two fingers on the hand of a white woman.

A bypass ring with two seemingly clear stones is on the hand of a white woman. The top stone is a teardrop shape. The bottom is a circle. The band looks like a branch.

Is that a little mouse or maybe squirrel onyx ring?

Pictures absolutely don't do this ring from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social justice. It's incredible. The last picture shows the earrings I got as well. Such fun mail today!

A white woman's hand that has a black filigree tattoo on it, shows off a ring. The ring is large and open at the top. There is a stone on one side that is shimmery and a deep green/red. There are silver and gold organic looking branches around the stone. There are green gems on some of the branches.

Three sets of earrings sit on a black textured wrist pad. The first pair is silver circles with purple amethyst drops. The second is a pair of screw back geometric earrings in a triangle shape. The last pair is small deer skulls in sterling silver.

Got a few really gorgeous earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social today. I had to take the skulls out for a twirl. Very light. The only reason I know they are there is I had to re-open one of the holes.

Last Monday Harper - per usual - tripped her way up the steps. This time she actually strained her ACL which means mostly bedrest and carrying her around so she doesn't end up tearing it. She is a bit over my weight limit - 45lbs - and hates being carried so she is not a happy girl. What a week.

We got a new pair of shoes for the kiddo. Same as the last pair, purchased from @moxiest.art. Yeah, I would say the kiddo wore these out. Except for a few times wearing boots, these were the only shoes worn for a solid year.

Two pairs of sneakers sit on the rug. One pair is new and the other is old. The new pair is a crisp white with pink and blue lines for trans pride. The old pair is the same as the new, except no longer white, with the soles worn thin and coming up at the heel. They were very well-loved.

Shoes are from @moxiest.art!

Yancy and Harper both think you should get to nap for that.

A tabby cat sleeps on top of a blue blanket, a fuzzy white blanket, and a white towel on top of the bed. He looks like he is smiling in his sleep.

I did not sign up for a visit from the kitten distribution network. They are back down where I found them with a heating pad in the hopes that mom returns. They aren't wall kittens like Yancy. I found these in a bar cabinet in our basement.

Two tiny tabby kittens are in a box with a white and blue pee pad and a brown heating pad. One kitten is peering up with eyes open. The other kitten has an URI and has sealed shut eyes.

My Milo was a Schipperke/Pom mix if that helps any.

Back in the day, I used to collect Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab oils. At one point I think I had a couple hundred. My migraines got worse and there were few I could wear without getting one. So I liquidated almost all of it since TKO was literally all I could use and not on my skin.

A light green box sits on top of a green blanket. In the box are various bottles of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and Arcana perfume oils. To the right, just outside the box are a collection of rollerballs with oils in them.

Visible across the top is a Peach Pit, Schwarzer Mond, Luperci, and Coyote. Then 3 Arcana perfumes Little Ghoulie, Haint, and Black Amber.

In the box are a few labels visible - Snake Oil, O, and Lush perfume Vanillary.

The bottles are dusty because I couldn't even smell these for years because of migraines.

Mac, he was the best dog. Hated most dogs, loved cats, pissed on people he didn't like, and lived to the ripe old age of 14. It's been almost 10 years, and have a wonderful pup now, but we miss him so much. He was our soul dog.

100% My bottle baby was under a lb when we found him in the basement wall. He's 30lbs now.

A woman in a black shirt and blue glasses feeds a teeny baby kitten who is standing on his back legs and clinging to her fingers while he drinks. He is a tabby cat.

A much larger tabby cat looks at the camera. He has very yellow eyes. He is resting on the bed which has a green bedspread. He has his front paws on a heating pad. He and his heating pad have a long relationship from time he was a teeny baby.

My babies doing what they best - sleeping in the big bed.

A tabby cat sleeps with his front paws up by his face. He is lying on a white fuzzy blanket and a blue hoodie. His name is Yancy.

Seen at the grocery store. I think Russell Stover is onto something here. This is more fun then biting the head off a chocolate bunny.

The image shows a box of Russell Stover chocolates on a shelf.

The box says: "The Perfect Man. Bite-sized."
A heart bubble says "he's sweet & rich"

They are Dubai style milk chocolate and are in the shape of a man. The man looks vaguely like an academy award statue.

Harper says if it's cold, do a snoozle to pass the time.

A black dog with her ears perked up and eyes closed sleeps with her head on a pillow, snuggled into a green blanket. The blanket isn't covering her so you can see her very pink little belly.

If it makes you feel better, I legit doubled over laughing at the vet when we learned our tiny little kitten we found in a wall under 1lb was now 28lbs. He is still our tiny little baby, just a lot harder to pick up.

We are heading to my MIL for 2nd Thanksgiving and Harper is experiencing one of her least favorite things - a road trip. It's hard having anxiety when you are a puppy of very little brain. #uglydogs

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to past a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

But when I do
He usually laughs

M: He does. He likes to laugh.

Ok, this ended up like this on my feed right now. They kind of look amazing together.

Two posts from mox of their artwork. The top image has a dark center, with a crescent around it, and then a larger circle with nothing in it. The last circle almost looks like static. The bottom image is vertical lines with varying space between them. To me, they look like they go together.
