This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat picture.

Peter Quince, a black and white exceedingly fluffy cat, is at rest in his neutral-toned cat bed. His back leg is stuck out from the bed, presumably for temperature control and/or Sleep Aerodynamics.

Things has been tough lately for reasons I shall not be disclosing to the internet (sorry, I'm fine personally except for emotional impact) but this being bookmarked here means I always have something to giggle at. I don't know if this is in here but here's my contribution today.

An orange dimensional portal showing the butt of a wombat exiting through the portal; a section of empty space; followed by a blue dimensional portal with the wombat entering through it.

Underneath are stylized letters similar to those used in the Mortal Kombat games, reading "PORTAL WOMBAT"

I guess this explains why I spent so much time in the fabric store looking at thread and thinking today.

Your ∆Eok JND

Okay this is genuinely impressive. You're well below the standard JND of 0.02. The CIE should be sending you a job offer. Or at least a certificate.

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone Yes, he's doing a 180. He's also clawing the side of the cat tree. He's multitalented.

fartographics.itch.io A (free!) Croatian comics anthology, available in English - in addition to Croation, natch. I haven't had a chance to do more than a quick basic peruse, but tell me the attached image (included in FARTO #2) isn't fantastic.

A black and white drawing of a person with long hair in a plaid shirt and jeans bent way forward, grappling with an enormous load on their back, their face twisted with pain and/or anguish as chips of rock fall onto the cracking ground under them.

Weighing them down is an enormous rock sculpture of 3D letters, reading "PROJECTIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS".

I sewed a knitting needle case so the several pairs my mother gifted me wouldn't sit in a precarious paper bag in my closet! So happy with this. Pattern here: www.thesprucecrafts.com/roll-up-knit...

Photo of a straight knitting needle case, made from a patterned fabric showing anatomically correct skulls surrounded by blue, red, and purple florals on a black background, a complimentary medium grey fabric, and a bright blue ribbon.

A photo of the preceding case, now with needles in all the larger pockets and crochet hooks in one of the small ones.

The preceding case, now rolled and tied securely with a bow.

The preceding case, now being "held" seemingly protectively by a large sleek black cat. Her name is Desdemona.

Here's the alt text version of how to remove AI settings from Firefox:

Image of a tumblr post reading:

irritatingly, the list of AI settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):

Partial (due to Alt text limitations) Reddit post from username liaiwen8:

Hello everyone! I am the high school student in this video.

1st of all, I would like to thank you all for the support. From fellow citizens who personally came up to me after the panel today, to online comments, I am extremely grateful that there are still those in our province willing to stand up to unfair treatment&defend open dialogue, which was apparently the "mandate" of Alberta Next. It's honestly hilarious how far Danielle Smith and those around her will go, &I think Bruce the moderator needed to get spanked more in childhood because how did he even come up with that 🤣

For anyone interested in what I said after the mic was cut, I essentially asked why the UCP hands out $461 million to private schools, funding their tuitions (which serve 5% of Albertans, by the way) with 70% of what taxpayers provide the public system with. In fact, this figure is expected to increase to $544 million in the 2027/2028 fiscal year. That's a 30% rise, compared to the 6% that ATA teachers would get if they had somehow accepted the recent diabolical offer. I simply cannot comprehend any logical reason for the government to be giving tax dollars to private institutions, &I am gravely concerned that this is the path that healthcare will also go on. Moreover, Alberta recently posted a forecasted deficit of $6.5 billion, down from a $8.3 billion surplus last year. While I understand the volatility of our oil/gas commodities, this is not responsible governance whatsoever.

Alberta education is in triage. Since 2019, I have never been in a class with less than 35 students, save for 1 specialized French higher-level IB course. I have experienced firsthand the struggles that special needs students go through, &the lengths that my teachers go to in order to try to provide help to them, yet their efforts are in vain. All this, while teachers have had a 6% salary boost since 2013, versus an inflation rate of 30%.

This place!

A shot of a white taco trailer parked in a driveway, from underneath a blue awning. There are two prints of the same anthropomorphized taco wearing a sombrero and a smile, a drinks menu on the left with a variety of sodas ($2 for the usual suspects, $4 for Jarritos, or $5 for Mexican Coca-Cola) and a food menu on the right, for Hamburguesa, Papas Fritas, Tacos (Pastor, Asada, and Volteadas, Burritos, Disco (crossed out, and I don't know Mexican Spanish so also possibly an unfinished word), and Chile Colorado

It has no phone number, and no business name, but does kindly warn you you are on camera.

I finally finished another one of my long-term projects! It started as a 5"x5" piece of ply, an oversized pencil organizer, leftover wood stain, and a small handful of cord from the local fabric store, and now it holds all my headbands and other costumey hair miscellany!

A grey wall hook on a white wall, bearing a DIY headband holder and several headbands with wintry, botanical, and devilish themes; the holder is mostly obscured, but the mesh of the repurposed pencil holder is somewhat visible, as are some of the black-and-multicoloured scrunchies within it.

Still playing around with Linux having been (not in these words, exactly) gifted with a test machine. Been reading some of the Linux Mint documentation. ....if this works the way it claims to I am going to absolutely SCREAM.

Printers and Scanners
Driverless Printing and Scanning (IPP)

Since version 21, Linux Mint features driverless printing and scanning:

Printers and scanners are detected and added automatically.

Communication with the device is done via a standard protocol called IPP.

No drivers are needed.

Installed drivers are not used.

This standard protocol works with many devices, so for most printers and scanners, there is nothing to do. Everything just works out of the box.

To print a document open File -> Print… in your application.

To scan a document open Document Scanner from the application menu.

All art in this post is by Yoshi Yoshitani, who's also the originator of the quote-reskeet.

Capricorn Sun: a nude, long russet-haired fairy with slightly mismatched grey-green, orange, and black spiky butterfly wings, lounging in the company of a shiny black-thoraxed spider.

Aquarius Rising: Two women in kitsune masks, magnificent broad-brimmed black hats with white feathers, and flowing teal and peach garments, bear banners that read "VOTE". In the background are more figures, also bearing banners and dressed in feminine garments.

Aquarius Moon: A small green fish fairy happily chills out in the water beneath a lilypad which they appear to be using as a parasol

I also am assuming all best cases. There might be something weird with my brain putting a lot of things at the top, but I genuinely love a lot of things. Lime & lemon are S-tier not because I'd eat them straight but because I love lemon/limeade & the many things that can be done with them. (cont)

A Tiermaker ranking of fruits.
S-tier: Red apple, avacado, banana, blackcurrant, date, lemon, lime, mango, orange, pear, pineapple, plum, pomegranate, raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry, tangerine, watermelon, blood orange, groundcherry (what I thought for some time were gooseberries), raisins, sour cherry.
A-tier: Apricot, blackberry, blueberry, cantalope, coconut, cherry, litchi, nectarine, passionfruit, peach, honeydew, Asian pear, gooseberry.
B-tier: Green apple, cranberry, dragonfruit, red grapes, white grapes, kiwi, starfruit
C-tier: fig, grapefruit, pomelo, jackfruit
D-tier: Durian, persimmon
Never had: papaya (just realized I think this is actually a lie, but it was the once and I don't really remember it), guava, custard apple, kumquat, mangosteen, mulberry, rambatan, whitecurrant

Hmmmmm okay I'm looking here and even the CBSA website is showing that self clearing is definitely an in-person (tho can be a third party), in-office thing. If you are able to find anything to the contrary please let me know! www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/couri...

Screenshot of linked page, https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/courier/lvs-efv/prsn-eng.html

"Process to self-account

To self-account the casual importer will need to follow these steps:
-Visit a local CBSA office that offers accounting service to the public
-provide the shipment identification/tracking number, the commercial invoice (receipt), and personal identification on arrival at the CBSA office
-if a third party will account on the casual importers behalf, the CBSA requires a letter of authorization and a photocopy of the casual importers identification
-an official receipt indicating that you have paid duties and/or taxes directly to the CBSA will then be provided
-a copy of this receipt must be presented to the courier at which time delivery of the shipment may be arranged
