Cat is correctly assembled and non-working as intended. 😁 Sumi tiny!cat does remarkably similar poses all the time.

A small black and white long-haired cat lies on her side on top of a light blue electric heat pad that is in turn lying in a green cat bed. Her paws are stretched out towards the camera, with one largely blocking her upside down face from view.

She looks both very relaxed and very comfortable.

Oh, @rahaeli.bsky.social? Just a little something to hopefully brighten your day a smidge. Check out what popped up in one of my usual Discord hangout t'other day: 😁

A screen capture of a tweet from Twitter account rahaeli dated July 2022.

The text reads
"Sometimes people me how I know all the random shit I know (with varying levels of politen ess and belief in it veracity) and all I got is "I have ADHD, an internet connection really good research skills, and zero self-regulatory mechanisms" (sic)

Making you leave the house!?!

On a slightly off-white background, resembling the cheap paper of pulp magazines and comics, there is a strongly inked artwork of an angry looking tabby-cat with heavy, bold capitalised text reading "HOW DARE"

Close inspection shows a watermark in the upper-right margin reading @rebaccasalinasart, whilst the lower margin shows "NO TALK ME AM ANGY" in light pencil

That's the generally accepted version I've experienced in gaming over the years, but every so often I see the alternative popping up. (Ahh, the Great Vowel Shift strikes again, I suspect re: 'lic'='leech')

The left side shows two images of a grizzled Klingon looking at the camera.

The right side shows two white fields with a line of black text each.

The top text reads: Mispronounced words are hono(u)rable

The lower text reads: It means you read it in a book somewhere.

*offers hugs* I'd be happy to lend you Mx Smashy to have a friendly discussion with any current or future books if you think it might discourage the recalcitrant.

Mx Smashy, large home-made mallet lies diagonally across a set of bathroom scales.

The mallet is made of a short length of steel rebar, the head of a short section of steel pipe with steel plate welded over the ends, and the head filled with something heavy. (Lead, very possibly.) The whole thing was once painted a bright blue, but has since ~50% flaked off.

The scales read somewhere between four and five kilograms.

An excellent, considered and coherent refutation of those that argue against the existence of any art or fiction that contains aspects they find problematic or 'icky'. Posted particularly for @foxhall.bsky.social , who I know has had trouble with these arrogant and self-absorbed fools.

Saying "this niche, properly tagged, warned, and rated piece of fiction could theoretically hurt someone" is not a good argument. This properly labeled cookie with the allergen information that contained gluten could theoretically harm me very badly, but only if I consume it. Tags are like nutrition labels, and warnings are like allergy information. If you know you have an allergy to something, the logic is to stay away from it. It is the same with fiction. I'm not running through stores yelling at people to take all the products with gluten off the shelves just because it could hurt me. Instead I ignore it and go the the gluten free section and find cookies that are right for me. And if running through a grocery store yelling sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. Stop doing the same with fiction.

And just like with food, what might be harmful for one person to consume could be quite *beneficial* for others. One man's trigger is another man's catharsis.

randomslasher
AND if you lack the maturity/self control/awareness to stop yourself from eathing things that could potentioally harm you, you either 1) are too young to be making your own food choices and should be supervised by a parent/other adult who is supposed to be responsible for you (and the store clerk who put the food on the shelf is NOT) or 2) need to take accountability for your own actions, because if you deliberately consumed something you knew could hurt you as a fully autonomous adult, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.

If you insist. "You're a radical!"

Against a blue background there is a stylised image of a generic dinosaur riding a skateboard while wearing board shorts and a sideways cap.

At the top and bottom of the image is the text:

"There's nothing RADICAL about trans exclusion."

A white coffee mug with bold, black block print on the side facing the camera/viewer.

No more so than many other cats. I mean, yes, she's a totally ridiculous beast, but so are many others. Including both of my current beasts.

Sumi tiny!cat, a black and white long-haired moggy lies on her side in her bed, on top of the electric heatpad.

Her ears, expression and the way her paws are all laid out makes it very clear that she Has A Comfy

Mouse plush!puss, a black and white medium-haired moggy lies in her green bed, her back legs splayed out, her suuuper-plush belly exposed and her right paw over her right ear, folding it towards the camera as she looks at the viewer with her left eye open and the other closed.

She is truly A Ridiculous Beast.

Can I be real for a minute

A numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) stands on a fallen log looking towards the camera.

The numbat is a small, distinctively-striped animal between 35 and 45 centimetres (14 and 18 in) long, including the tail, with a finely pointed muzzle and a prominent, bushy tail about the same length as its body. It's colouring ranges from soft grey on the head to reddish-brown across the shoulders and upper back, and with a conspicuous black stripe running from the tip of the muzzle through the eye to the base of the small, round-tipped ear. A number of white stripes cross the animal's hindquarters, which gradually become fainter towards the midback. The underside is cream or light grey, while the tail is covered with long, grey hair flecked with white.

That looks remarkably like the 7-day forecast for here, except we're at the exact opposite places in the cycle of seasons.

Hey, @cemurphy.bsky.social, look what I found today while trying to consolidate some of the Stuff In Cardboard Boxes into larger and sealable plastic tubs instead?

A photograph of the front cover of the novel Truth Seeker by C. E. Murphy.

It shows a blonde woman wearing dark jeans and a dark tank-top holding a leaf-bladed sword in one hand and looking back over her shoulder with a determined expression on her face.

An image of Ambassador Londo Molari from the show Babylon 5 looking directly towards the viewer, wearing an ornate jacket in brown, bronze and gold, highly reminiscent of noble styles in Napoleonic-period Europe.

In black bars above and below the image is the text:
"Your Meme has been taken"
and
"For the Glory of the Centauri Republic"

🤣 This one is my other take on this theme:

On a background of bright yellow, there is black text on the left side and an antique style ink drawing of a somewhat portly man wearing an old-fashioned checked suit, a while vest and smoking a cigar with his hands in his pants pockets.

The text reads: "Hey, you there Fuck Off. And when you get there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep on fucking off until you get back here. Then fuck off again."

Here, have the perfect meme for this moment!

A photo of a hilly landscape, mostly in shadow and covered with verdant vegetation.

Over the image in white text reads:
Fuck Off.

Then keep fucking off.
Fuck off until you come upon a gate with a sign saying "You Can't Fuck Off Past Here."

Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and Martin Short strike a dramatic pose in a deserted street, wearing red sashes at their waists and completely blinged up black jackets and pants as well as utterly ludicrous black sequined sombreros in a scene from the movie The Three Amigos.

Hmm. It seems I haven't taken any pictures of them since September, I should remember to get some new ones.

Mouse plush!puss (a mostly white with black bits floofy tuxedo), lounging in the green cat bed in front of the bedroom window, her fuzzy belly exposed.

Sumi tiny!cat is curled up in the far corner of the square bed from the viewer, which goes some way to highlighting the size difference between the two of them.

Sumi tiny!cat ( long-haired, mostly black with some white bits tuxedo) contentedly and adorably curled up tightly on top of my blue blanket-covered feet, which are raised up on the chair I put under my desk precisely for the putting-up-of-my-feet, but is generally Filled By Cat whenever it is that I go to do so. Because OF COURSE it is. ;)

A screenshot from the 1942 movie Casablanca, showing Humphrey Bogart's nightclub owner Rick Blaine facing Claude Rains' Louis Renault, Captain of the French Gendarmarie in Casablanca.

Louis has just damaged their epic bromance by shutting down the nightclub on being told to do so by the Germans, using the excuse "I am shocked-shocked-to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. Centred around 8! twenty-somethings, almost all white, almost all in the band that shared the name with the show. Ratings just weren't there from the start, and Fox canned it, never even releasing the 13th episode. 🙁

A photo inset on a field of light blue of the eight core cast members from the 1992 Fox TV show The Heights, about twenty-somethings trying to get by and make something of themselves and the band of the same name they were almost all in.

White text in the upper right reads 'The heights', the title of the show and the band both, and underneath the photo reads text on an orange background all in caps 'How Do You Talk To An Angel', which was both the theme song and the number one song on the Billboard Hottest 100 in October of that year.

Diogenes, inspiring shit-stirreres even after millennia! 😆

Image of a tweet re-posted onto tumblr by user powerfulwizard and showing two replies from other tumblr accounts.

The original tweet from @pjayevens in March 2021 reads: "Cars have winows and can move. Houses have windows and can't move. So it's not the windows that make the car go, it's something else entirely"

First tumblr reply, from gelledegg says "this is what ancient greek philosophy is like" (sic)

Second reply from airyairycontraire says "Diogenese driving a mobile home into the symposium to ruin Plato's day."

Advertise your account with just one image

The image shows a screen capture from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with the supporting character of Garak, a Cardassian alien, who is merely a simple tailor, and not at all an ex-spy and assassin at all, facing the viewer with a slight (and rather smug) smile.

There is white text in bold at the top and bottom of the image. Top text reads "This is a quality thread", and the bottom text reads "I should know, I'm a tailor".

That trivia makes me smile widely and love the movie even more, a VERY high bar! I still have the A Kind of Magic album on vinyl, and with the exception of the first song, it's just Highlander songs. That first song is instead from Iron Eagle starring Michael Ironside. #HowVery #SuchEighties

The front cover to the 1986 Queen album A kind of Magic (sic).

It depicts the four band members (with Freddie Mercury in the centre foreground) in an extremely 1980s exaggerated cartoon style wearing jackets with shoulderpads but no shirts, smiling and dancing on a black background, liberally splattered with tiny stars, rockets and explosions of the sort you would expect from modern emoji options.

The colour pallet is a light blue for the skin of the bands, a bright yellow for Mercury's jacket, a subdued orange for his bandmates jackets and a slightly smoky red for their tiny legs.
