I'm not mad about this. It's giving coral reef! 🐠

Anyway, I’m going to see Chrissy Chlapecka in DC tonight. The theme is Girl on the Moon. I can’t wait to live my best gay life for a night!

I’ve been awake since 3am. Torpedo got bitey super early, so I took the time to practice my glam. Probably gonna stream in a little bit.

While I take today for rest, please enjoy this photo of Loaf no.3. I'm learning more with each try. This loaf has the distinctive sourdough crackly crust with improved scoring.

A round, golden loaf of sourdough bread resting on a wire rack. The top of the loaf is lightly dusted with flour and bears clear scoring marks. The crust shows signs of bubbling and crackling.

Shelby Lane@abyssalsong· Jun 13

Not as much rise due to change in flour blend and sleepy starter. Scoring technique also needs much more practice. But it’s giving that good thump, so it has promise! (tagging @genuscorvidae.bsky.social for BREAD QUEST!)

For #Caturday, please enjoy this photo of my two house voids lounging together. They’re tolerating each other more, even allowing greeting sniffs and the occasional brief grooming session.

Two black cats lounging on a white bedspread. They are barely an inch apart.

Him sleep.

Morning activities. Oh, and I recently added a high-backed rolling shop stool to my kitchen so that I don’t have to stand while cooking if I don’t feel up to it! Accessibility is for everyone.

A black baking apron from Hive Bakery depicting a skeletal hand holding up a cupcake. A single bee perches on the cupcake. Text reading “Fuck the Patriarchy” arches over the cupcake. This apron is draped over a kitchen stool, and a copy of Emilie Raffe’s Artisan Sourdough Made Simple sits atop the blank part of the apron.

Before and after watching the first episode of…. that. First, anticipation - second, utter disgust. But damn, I look good.

Today’s therapeutic activity: cropping and re-saving one of my wedding candids so that it only shows me - radiant, gorgeous, happy, and hopeful - and not my ex. Because goddamn, I looked beautiful. Eff the rest.

A three-quarter view of a pale-skinned femme with copper pixie-cut hair. She is beaming brightly, because it was her wedding day. Everything went to shit shortly afterwards, but that day was beautiful, and so was she.

Done! This year’s voter sticker is pretty neat.

This year’s voter sticker for Maryland. It shows the dome of the State House in Annapolis superimposed on a silhouette of the state, with the years 1776 and 2026 on either side of the dome. This image is encircled by a black ring bearing the text “Declaration of Independence - 250th Anniversary” and six white stars. This ring is in turn surrounded by a border printed with the Maryland flag. A red banner printed with Maryland Voter”is superimposed over the lower quarter of the image.

Dinner! Adobo chicken quesadillas.

Four browned, folded tortillas filled with chicken and cheese stacked on a plate.

Here’s Admiral! I keep taking about him, so figured I’d post a new pic.

A small black cat perches on his human’s lap, resting one paw on a keyboard wrist pad on the desk behind him.

Sending today’s euphoria back to past me who was nervous about applying for that internship. Do it, kiddo. It’ll be hard but so worth it.

It’s been a minute since I’ve graced the timeline with my face. My gift to y’all.

A pale-skinned femme with short copper hair half-smiles at the camera. She wears deep red lipstick, heavy black winged eyeliner, and a t-shirt showing a tired woman wearing a “no thinking cap.”

Here is another. Torpedo was extra snuggly yesterday.

A black cat is tucked into bed under a blanket like a human. He looks curiously up at the camera.

A path that began with tween me watching my brother and cousins play video games in my aunt's basement has led me here... forty years old, playing video games in my own basement, sometimes in cosplay. Thank you so much to my small group of loyal friends who helped me get here. Onward and upward! 💜

In case anyone's curious, this is today's stream attire. It's cold af in my basement and this is cozy and cute. Mrrrglll!

Torpedo is testing out the new perch that I've put up in my gaming space. So far, so good... #caturday

Just a Sister and her servo skull... I changed a few things about this cosplay to make it easier to sit in for my #roguetrader stream, and I love how it turned out! Who knows, I might do it again...

A pale-skinned femme with white hair cut in a bob style, carrying a plush of a skull that has been grafted with cybernetic implants. She wears a chain necklace with a religious sigil.
