Jimothy has hit Roku City, and I'm choosing to embrace this with utter whimsy, because fuck it, it's cute and I'm tired.

Roku Ciry, the official screensaver of Roku, which is bathed in glorious bisexual lighting (heavy pinks & purples w/some deep blues) - I've cropped it to a single bit of a building, on a city street, an old brownstone-y type, multi-story, with a tree, a bench, and a single-bulb streetlight like Fred Astaire would dance with. Jimothy, Seattle's raccoon summer mascot, is trotting by probably looking for snacks.

Oh, the way I just winced & whimpered a little.

I have officially entered into my yearly match to the death with the pollen count.

a pollen count graphic, represented by three cute little leaves, one is just a light shadow (ragweed, count = none), one is about 1/3-full in green (grass, low), and the third is full and red (tree, very high)

Babka likes the snowboarding

on the left is a big tv with a snowboarder in mid-air, on the right is Babka, a loaf of black kitty, on the window shelf right up near the tv so he can watch

My ADHD LOOOOOOVVEES the Olympics multiview. Truly the best coverage addition Peacock made. Also hell yeah, US hockey goal happening right there.

my tv, with a three-event split screen the biggest window on the left has US/Finland woman's hockey (USA is in the process of scoring), the top right is luge with a guy sort of a blur in the middle of the track, and the lower right is the Canada's Valarie Maltais receiving her bronze medal for 3000m speed skating

Two things to know about Babka: 1) His very favorite thing is being brushed. 2) When we first for him, he had a hurt leg, so we had to bribe him to take meds. He now does "hurt paw" when he wants things. I'm brushing MY hair & this is my view

a black kitty with a little white patch on his chest sits on top of my laptop, staring dead into the camera, with his right paw up off the surface in "but I'm poor hurt kitty please brush me" pose

My Babka has similar vibes. 💜

IT'S BABKA'S GOTCHA DAY!! 1 year of adorable, bonkers, biscuit-making voidKitty!

First night of Hanukkah, at mom and dad's, so things aren't my usual setup, but we got it together enough. And Rachel Posner's hauntingly inspiring photo feels extra necessary tonight.

a small silver Hanukkiah sits on a wooden table top, lit for the first night, with a bunch of lovely, random decor as a backdrop

a black and white photo, of a Hanukkiah in a window, with a backdrop of the nazi headquarters in Kiel, Germany. there is a swastika, that did not outlive our lights then, and it won't now.

At mom & dad's, so not my usual setup, and feeling lucky I had any candles (dad just had major surgery & got home yesterday; we didn't plan well), but light from ours to yours.

Well played, Vulture.

Folks are totally normal. Except these folks.

Love weird & different takes on cranberry sauce? May I offer y'all my cran-pear-ginger chutney recipe? (haters... shh, enjoy your weird canned jello).

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup apple cider
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/8 cup finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/8 cup finely chopped candied ginger
2 tsp grated lemon peel
2 tsp grated orange peel
1/2 cup raisins
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2-3 firm pears, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1-1.5 cup, to sweetness preference)

Combine apple cider vinegar, cider, onion, ginger, lemon peel, orange peel, cinnamon stick pieces, crushed red pepper, and ground cloves in heavy large saucepan. Boil mixture until reduced by half, (about 10 minutes). Add everything else, stir until sugar dissolves and reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until pears are tender and berries pop, and flavors blend, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick pieces. Using potato masher, mash mixture coarsely. Cool, chill, eat.

Imagine Lynda Carter says something cute, and factual, like "Wonder Woman can be blonde!" Now imagine being the dude who confidently replied to The Lynda Carter thusly:

No offense, but she really doesn't. But no one's saying she can't wear the costume.

The mail brought news, everyone!

An idyllic forest background at dusk frames a UFO in the process of abducting 4 people. There is text across the top (in one type of wannabe fancy font) that says "The Rapture is Coming..."

and alongside the UFO, "It won't be Aliens"

To note, the word "aliens" is a different font that I guess they thought was space-y? I don't expect quality from church mailers.

Cozy morning Babka.

a black kitty is curled up on top of, and under, a grey microfleece sheet set. his yellow eyes are focused at the camera, and you can see a hint of white patch on his chest. he looks very cozy.

How my hyperfixations tend to manifest: Cast on to on the blocking mat in ~36 hours.

a hand-knit cowl, pinned to a blocking mat; it's got a white background (some random wool/alpaca dk blend from my stash) and a pattern of swirl, above a line of the moon in crescent-full-crescent phases (Knit Picks Hawthorne sock, held double, from their old Golden Girls line [Blanche, obvs, for those who can see it], which is in shades of orange, yellow, and purple, fitting for spooky season)

I bought a skein of this GORGEOUS yarn at Flock & Fiber a few weeks ago, with zero idea what to do with it other than snuggle it. Random stash diving came up with this off-white speckled sock yarn. Put together, this might be the prettiest thing ever (yarn/pattern in alt txts) #knitting 🧶

a skein of yarn - Fiber content 70% baby alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere - in dark blues, purples, pinks and black, dyed by Forty Winks Fibers

a knitted shawl, alternating stripes of a cream-ish yarn and the prettyPretty one, the colourful rows have a wrap/drop stitch in the middle to give it a more open look and show off the colour better (pattern: Van Gogh shawl, Tall Tree Designs)

Babka also likes it

a black kitty sits, staring up intently, in front of a TV playing Duck Dodgers, the screen shows Marvin the Martin reading a sign that says "surrender or be blown into 17,670,002 micro-cells"

Ok, seriously, what the actual fuck is with all the HP collabs this year?? If I pretend JK isn't a thing for like, 0.00002 seconds, even w/the new show, I don't get it? It's a ridiculous amount of things for a new property, let alone an old one. And these don't even look good? The hat looks like 💩.
