My cat’s fluffy tail, in the sink and very wet.

... should I tag @rahaeli.bsky.social and @niq.aeli.net and the rest in this or not... :)

Level 4: Porn with maddening revelations of humanity's place in the cosmos
Level 5: Porn with math

Ahh… fuck. 🤣

My sofa, my clothes basket, my clean clothes… my cat, inside said clothes basket and on top of my clean clothes. Ah, fuck. 🤣

Surgery today to remove some carcinoma from my face and the back of my right hand. Feeling a bit sore, mostly itchy around the wounds.

My face, with glasses and a mostly grey goatee, with skin coloured but still very visible wound dressings over a chunk of my right hand side.

Due to the way my brain works, I came up with this at 3:00am. Ping @tkingfisher.com and @ksonney.redwombat.social.ap.brid.gy :)

A venn diagram titled "The Truth about Speculative Fiction"

The three circles are:
* Science Fiction
* Fantasy
* Horror

The overlap of all three is "Yelling at Ursula Vernon".

No cheating. Reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet.

Photo looking down the stairs, there is a fluffy cat in the sunbeam where the stars turn the corner, being a very unconcerned tripping hazard.

Four views from a flight to Queensland.

A photo of the same plane engine, and everything else in the background is now indistinct whiteness.

Same engine with a sunset in the far background, and the twinkling lights of the Gold Coast hinterlands below.

Hey @tkingfisher.com, I still have mine! :)

A foam pick axe with “Remember tunnel 17” printed on the handle. It’s on a messy table, but that’s not important.

For @kittenmorag.bsky.social ... for reasons. :)

A meme from yourecards with a clipart of a greyscale picture of a woman with a concerned look and a raised finger, and the text: "Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But shout it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing."

It gets worse if you consider where Lines 1 and 3 need to go. The first one is more likely, based on the orientation of the Subway Map. But, either way, it don't make any sense! 6/...

The same Caldera County Region map, with the red line for Line 2 of the Subway, and purple and blue lines representing Line 1 and Line 3.

This version assumes Laharlem, Caldera City, Basaltimore, Moppingham, Sprayers, and Blemishigan are all to the South.

This version is more likely, based on the orientation of the Subway Map.

Random@halloranelder· Nov 2

According to the Subway map, the subway goes... oh dear. Why does it cross the water four times? Why is it all over the place? 5/...

The map of the Caldera County Region from PWS2, with a red line on it representing where Line 2 of the Subway should go. It's... all over the place, including crossing the river four times. It's a mess.

This is the region map of Caldera County. First question: Where is Suds East? It's supposed to be between Lubri City and Sparkleton. 4/...

The map of Caldera County, covered in job markers, from PowerWash Simulator 2.

So, original PowerWash Simulator gives you this Subway Map. The Number 2 line goes: * Muckingham * Pumpton * Detergento * Power Falls * Fumerole (connects with the 1 Line) * Washingham (connects with the 1 Line) * Bucketon * Spongely * Lubri City (connects with the 3 Line) * Suds East * Sparkleton

A Subway Map showing the Caldera City Subway system.

* Power Falls
* Fumerole (connects with the 1 Line)
* Washingham (connects with the 1 Line)
* Bucketon
* Spongely
* Lubri City (connects with the 3 Line)
* Suds East
* Sparkleton

The number 1 line crosses the number 2 line, and is in purple, and goes:
* Scoria
* Fumerole (connects with the 2 Line)
* Laharlem
* Caldera City
* Basaltimore
* Washingham (connects with the 2 Line)

The number 3 line comes off the number 2 line and is in blue, and goes:
* Lubri City (connects with the 2 Line)
* Moppingham
* Sprayers
* Blemishigan

This month’s pair arrived today. They’ve called it “Froget Me Not” and I feel I need to tell @seananmcguire.bsky.social about them. :)

A pair of trunk underwear sitting on the bed. The design on the underwear is Australian Aboriginal inspired art in bands of yellow, red and blue, and it’s covered in frogs. FROGS!!!

Aldi continue to amaze me with the things that turn up in the special aisle. Here we have: DC Meercat garden ornaments. This week at Aldi! 🤣

A collection of Aldi stuff for sale, focussing mostly on the garden ornaments (like garden gnomes) that are anthropomorphic meercats wearing DC superhero and supervillan costumes.

A close up of two of the DC Superhero meercats. Batmeercat and Supermeercat, wearing Batman and Superman outfits.

Yes, they are as weird as this description makes them sound.

I’m sure @terryandrob.bsky.social , @goodomenshq.bsky.social and @colleendoran.bsky.social are all happy to hear that the packing for my copy of the Good Omens Graphic Novel is being suitable recycled.

In the foreground is the Good Omens Graphic Novel by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Colleen Doran.

In the background is a fluffy tabby and white cat, sitting on the cardboard packaging the graphic novel came in.

Six images of Chief O'Brien and Dr Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space 9 sitting at Quark's bar.

B: I've been feeling like I don't belong. That I don't deserve being where I am and what I do.
O: Ah. The old imposter syndrome. I've been there.
O: The key is to remind yourself that *everyone else is an imposter, too*.
O: And you damn well deserve your share in whatever scam they are all running!
B: Did you... did you just fix impostor syndrome... with *spite?!*
O: You wouldn't *believe* how many things I fix with spite.
The last panel is the two of them bringing their drinks together in a toast, before drinking them.

Someone has decided he likes snuggles when it’s cold.

A fluffy tabby and white cat, curled up next to someone only partially visible in a blue dressing gown. There are miscellaneous things in the background but the cat is the most important thing. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.

Mum passed away this morning, peacefully in her sleep, about 6am local time.

Flowers in a vase, in the background parts of a hospital room can be seen.

A square whiteboard, with ‘Margaret “Cookie”’ written on it.

Below the whiteboard various plugs and outlets can be partially seen.

Hey @dantheother.bsky.social - I found your trophy. :)

A bright yellow 3d-printed trophy where none of the sections line up correctly, with the words “World’s best CSS developer” on the base, with some of the text wider than the base and hanging over the edge.

The weather here is suddenly being very.

A screenshot the 128km rain radar from the Bureau of Meteorology of the area around Melbourne Australia. It shows a clear rain front running from north west to south east, with lots of heavy rainfalls (in red) over the Melbourne area.

As far as I can tell, I'm currently sitting right underneath one of those red spots.

On this Australian Invasion Day, I acknowledge that I stand upon the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
