oh man, this former Bed, Bath & Beyond is now a Spirit Halloween but it still has this big WELCOME HOME lettering visible. pleasantly ominous

Kathleen Jacques@kathmachine· 20d

does look pretty comfortable, I have to admit

gotta be a top ten thing to see around here: the cat with her tail weirdly draped on the other cat

2026, Year Of The Floradinn #deltarune

a bunch of silly little drawings of the Floradinn enemy from Deltarune Chapter 5. They're like little green and pink flower creatures. things depicted here include their being squashed flat in a book, watered with a watering can, impersonated by a shapeshifter fox, and wearing a little train conductor hat. text at the bottom reads FLORADINN WORLD

Some quick li'l Deltarune buddies

Drawings of my favorite Deltarune enemies on a black background: Floradinn (pink and green flower-like creature), Mizzle (pink and blue floating water fairy creatures), and Tasque (blue and white cat, angular and computer-y). There's also some scripty lettering with some dialogue from the game: "flowers over boys", "am i still dreaming?", and "this cat loves you"

accidentally discovered there’s no apparent limit to how far in the future I can scroll my phone calendar, so I marked my own 111th birthday

Deltarune…tomorrow … … (quietly vibrating as Third Sanctuary plays in the distance)

still think I nailed it when I called this “my vampire to werewolf trajectory”

me several years ago. long, styled red hair, makeup with bold wingy eyeliner and red lipstick, feminine looking

me last year, no makeup, hair chopped off short and shaggy, wearing my favorite old black shirt with the sleeves cut off that says “too tough to die”

Kathleen Jacques@kathmachine· Jun 7

look at this marshmallow. this little pierogi

something nicer, though: “double cattin’ it” is my household phrase for petting them both at the same time, two-handed

The practical instructions in this book are like 95% stuff that’s incredibly specific to an archaic 1981 computer, and 5% stuff that’s been sadly evergreen for for grown adults for 40+ years and counting

“4. Good programmers never eat or drink while working. The computer will not work well if it is full of cookie crumbs, or has soda spilled between the keys!”

Kathleen Jacques@kathmachine· May 25

Felt like this was calling to me to rescue it from the thrift store for $1.99. Does COMPUTERS FOR KIDS (1981) have some wise words for 2026? Well, maybe.

Book cover “Computers For Kids: Atari Edition” by Sally Greenwood Larsen. it’s from 1981, and has a very charming illustration of two children pointing at a really old ass looking computer. on the screen is a picture or an elephant under a bed

Book page excerpt: “Even the best hammer cannot do all the different things our hands can do. And even the best computer cannot do everything our brains can do. A computer cannot feel emotion. It cannot feel happy or sad as we can.”

…and now she is all tired out

It’s Rose and Luna’s birthday, and my sweet girls are TEN. thank you for a decade together, babies. I’m so glad I got to bring you home and be your person.

Rose, a white cat, sits on the bed with a rainbow striped toy. it’s her birthday!

the enchanted living room, featuring two cats. I’ve been trying to make it a space that makes me happy to be in, and I think it’s pretty cute!

my cats got this toy for christmas that looks like a can of orange crush but says “mice”, and you know what, it’s still funny to me every time I see it

black cat playing with a soft toy soda can that’s orange and says “mice” like that’s a drink flavour

...Okay, I'm messing around making up more games of the early 90s. I would have spent hundreds of hours on this one as a kid without understanding half the menus and icons

Fictional 1990s game box for "Averston Harling's EMPEROUS II: The Epic Strategy Adventure That Will Ruin Your Life"
It's got a faux marble background and a sort of clumsy gold 3D chisel effect on the title text. The illustration in the center is actually cropped from a Renaissance era artwork depicting the Lighthouse of Alexandria (by Philip Galle, 1572, public domain)

I’m going to need to move them to vacuum the couch. however. they do make a convincing argument otherwise

welp, guess I'm navigating the biggest Well, Now What? of my life after like 5 years basically stuck as injured Bart who couldn't join my friends in the metaphorical swimming pool. I'm finally doing better for real, I think, and...now what? do I even know how to be queen of summertime anymore

bart simpson in the episode where they get a swimming pool and he breaks his leg. he's resentfully looking out his bedroom window about to shut the blinds, text is marge saying "he's becoming isolated and weird"

Once again,

photo of graffiti seen on a wall in Vancouver, BC, reading “we hate sim city”. it’s in reference to the current mayor Ken Sim, but i imagine it’s even funnier out of context.

So, I made new year 2026 cards! I held off on posting this until most of the people i personally gave/sent one to got to see it in print. 3 ink Risograph print on brown kraft, and this is my mood going into the year: yeah, older and sort of broken, but stubborn as hell about resilience and repair

Illustration of two women with retro CRT TV heads with static and test patterns. They’re holding hands, and there’s a bunch of junk like cords and screwdrivers and tape on the ground. Text: “Another Year, And We’re Still Alive”
