What if I napped on the couch with my girl all day instead of working? 🤔 #cats #catsofbluesky

Selfie of me with Winnie (an orange cat) on a couch. She is curled into a ball atop a fluffy blanket. Im looking at the camera while resting my face on her side

Another selfie in a similar position, but this time Winnie is nuzzling her face on my neck.

Recreated a Vietnam era anti-war print with felt and thread as a way to channel my anxiety #fiberarts #embroidery #diy

DIY patch recreating classic anti-war art from the Vietnam era. It includes a pink flower with a stem and four leaves, and looks as though it was drawn by a child. Surrounding it are the words "War is not healthy for children and other living things" in child-like handwriting. Embroidery thread on felt.

Elsevier just asked if I'd like its AI reading assistant to summarize the journal article I'm reading. I'm losing it folks. Time to turn off the internet and force everyone back to the library.
