Today I'm watering my calethea for the first time since getting it. I'm currently dechlorinating some water and regretting my life choices but hoping it's worth it because look this is the most beautiful plant I have seen in my entire life
Making cat scratchers out of cardboard boxes is great way to 'reuse'! We go through these so fast at the shelter 😅
I have potted my new pothos for all of 5 minutes and Miette already tried to eat it!!!
Miette, my cat with NO TEETH managed to eat half a piece of sourdough bread through the bag, im crying
I bought a foil blanket for the bed because I heard that cats do not like the crinkle sound and will avoid it, but clearly hector here does not abide by the rules of other cats
I keep trying to take a photo of Miette while she's yawning to prove to people that she has no teeth and my phone is not up to the task
what's up guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing this razer mouse. Right out of the box, I can tell you the form factor is great, perfectly sized for my head, nice and smooth too. The only downside is that it keeps cycling through an RGB lighting pattern which ruins my sleep. 6/10.
Hector is determined to be the most expensive cat ever by acquiring an aural hematoma, which may give him a permanent ear flop bc I don't want to put him through surgery for cosmetic reasons. Tell him how devilishly handsome he looks with it!!
Headed into the shelter for my shift and the manager told me that two of the three identical ragdoll kittens have been adopted, the one who hasn't been adopted hasn't been neutered yet so I can just check for the presence of balls This is his face right after. Sorry Huey!! #ShelterCatOfTheWeek
To prove my skills, here is a horse i drew while blindfolded on new years. My inbox is open for horse consulting. (happy new year of the horse, everyone!)
I've been lying to you all along. I'm not really a web developer, i'm a horse consultant who emerges once every 12 years when every artist learns how weird and particular horse anatomy is and intuitively seeks out the most horse-girl adjacent person in their friend group for advice
I'm archiving some family photographs and how come both my parents are unbelievably model-esque and I look like a potato, life is simply unfair.
I ran the values from the ChatGPT-generated color contrast report included in the article through WebAIM's contrast checker and got dramatically different values. I'm not sure this article actually proves the point it's trying to make.
Sundays are about taking 10 minute detours so you can visit the neighborhood cat
No, I don't think I want 50{:end_link=>"", :test_observability=>"", :accessibility_testing=>"", :test_management=>"", :app_percy=>""}roductivity gains if this is the kind of code it spits out.
Merry Christmas! Thought this little street shrine decorated for Christmas was a cute but poignant statement
I was trying to pick out a new aircon and was overwhelmed with all the options. I went to the store and they immediately pulled up this chart, which has all of their available models arranged by brand and horsepower, with helpful info all in the listing. Maybe we're doing appliance e-commerce wrong
I've volunteering at the shelter for 10 years and I have never seen a cat with face fluff as long as Hendrix. It's absurd!!
My mom is simply the best. She willingly switched to Signal because I asked her to and will also compliment my work even though it has far too many f-bombs for her taste.
Trying to get news on the deadliest fire in recent history for hk but lol JavaScript
