we have idle game at home (i am playing in godot. Did you know if you use a usb cord you can just deploy directly onto your phone??? Technology really is amazing...)

a clearly WIP screenshot of a pixel art mobile game. A little character stands on a grassy background. There are trees with soft string lights around her. In the top left of the screen is text reading "Herbs: 7"

The same game, but the character is standing in front of a stump with a progress bar hovering over it. The text at the top now reads Herbs: 4. This is because I took this screenshot first.

The simpsons "do it for her" meme, but the pictures are all of Claire, a pale white girl with scraggly long blonde hair and a lacy white dress.

It's the same with mine. I heard that three-coloured cats always have a lot of attitude ...

Original dates to 2018, so way later than I thought! Time is fake, etc. But for posterity:

What is this, a UI for ants????

A screenshot of the Godot game engine's "Projects" screen. I took it on my Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra. It is 2340 x 1080 pixels. This is not very many pixels. The text is very very small.

I have to start taking Tilly's blood pressure at home To do this I will first need to slowly acclimate her to the cuff Fortunately I am married to a play therapist who happens to have a perfectly Tilly-sized toy blood pressure cuff in her kit.

Tilly, a calico cat, loafs on a pair of legs clad in blue and white polar bear PJs. There is a cat-sized pink blood pressure cuff laying carefully on her back. She seems unbothered.

Ah, well, as you can see.

dunno if i have the energy to actually write this blog but this bit made my wife laugh and really isn't that the main thing

Screenshot of an Obsidian note. It reads:
"So AI can provide one of the most crucial elements of a theraputic relationship. This is great! The mental health crisis is solved! Now I'm going to take a big sip of my coffee and scroll back up this PDF a bit--"
[Note interrupted by a screenshot of a PDF of an old medical journal, wherein:
The Therapist's Genuineness in the Relation-
ship
The third condition is that the therapist
should be, within the confines of this rela-
tionship, a congruent, genuine, integrated per-
son. It means that within the relationship he
is freely and deeply himself, with his actual
experience accurately represented by his
awareness of himself. It is the opposite of
presenting a facade, either knowingly or unknowingly.]
(note continues)
"Ah! Well. Nevertheless,"

Have you ever seen something so perfect in your whole life

Tilly, a calico cat, is perfectly curled up within a custom-made crocheted bed, which spells out her name on balls of alternating calico colours. The photo is taken from above and shows how her curled-up form perfectly fits inside the bed.

Els White@elskwhite· Dec 26

There are many new friends. Welcome! Behold Tilly (in her custom-made bed, crocheted by my diligent little sister)

Tilly, a calico cat, curls up with her eyes closed inside a bed made of soft woolen balls in alternating calico colours, itself sitting upon a grey sofa-chair-thing.

Today, in DnD Youth Club Shenanigans: seriously impressed some Youths by telling them that not only do I know what Naruto is, I was reading it *as it came out*. Now to dig up the Akatsuki cosplays from when I was 14... And yes, I will let the Youth have a homebrew Sharingan.
