I tried to take Xena out as a substitute, since it's not raining here, but she did not wish to participate.

First outing of the Rat Deck. This was my first turn.

I still shouldn't be allowed to name Pokemon.

Will I? Probably not. Not highly skilled enough to qualify for a visa and not rich enough to move without work. But I wanna. I don't even want to live in Auckland, I want to live in or around Hamilton. Like just a little East of Hamilton, maybe a tiny bit south.

I would like to point out that, as a fully adult human, I can just... bring one of those packets of instant mashed potatoes to work and make them in the microwave in any safe container I so desire. No one can stop me. And no one did.

This is my friend's cat, Ember, who I cat-sat for this past weekend.

This is my only one so far. It's a Monteverde Impressa. I like it because it's a vacuum chamber that's twist-to-fill instead of cartridges or injection. I want more, but my handwriting does not justify more at this time. 😭

Your dogs are both cute, and mine is also adorable.

My new employer, who has at least one employee I know of who uses a wheelchair, has these on every floor by each stairwell:

This is it.

Describe your BlueSky account with a single image.

I'm just saying that the Berlin specimen of the archaeopteryx looks like that painting by Herbert James Draper, A Lament for Icarus, and I love every millimeter of its dramatic, feather-clad, rocky fastness.

Repping my @terryandrob.bsky.social and @dropout.tv nerdery today. I found a keychain that has pre-pierced holes in sturdy felt so enamel pins can be worn as a keychain and I'm loving it.

How my husband and I text when he does nice things like send me an entire fruit edible arrangement at work.

Here's a peacock from the local zoo for you!

How can anyone be mean to this face? Of course she gets extra treats just for existing.

This is the ring, btw. It's gold, 18k on the band, at least. I'd be shocked if it's gold all the way through the top bit. My birthstone isn't garnet, but I like them more than my actual birthstone. It's a massive, ostentatious ring that I basically never wear, but I love it anyway.

Look at these cute AF shoes, though.

So Space Force's @ is wrong, we don't have a Department of Defense any more. It would be a shame if someone squatted on @spaceforcedow...

My Haribo gummy bears came in a nuclear family set... Those two gummy bears are TINY.

It did get this one, but only after it guessed wrong (Dr. Alan Grant was its first guess), and I allowed it to continue.

Wtf

This is why Sinclair caved. Their stock has lost more than Disney's and they're realizing we know who is ordering it all and will pressure them, too.

Here's a 5-year chart of DIS stock value, showing monthly avg values: The dip has continued this morning, but it's not even the lowest Disney stock has been in the last 5 years. If we can keep it going, like we have with Tesla stock, THAT will make a difference.

She looks like she's about to over-extend to reach a cup on a ledge and fall backwards into a misty abyss.

Holy shit, he cribbed a real painting, flipped it, and then did a bad fanart version with even more horrible people, then also painted in Washington even though he wasn't in the original as he wasn't there at the time. Signing of the Declaration of Independence, by Charles Édouard Armand-Dumaresq
