So. In #worldofwarcraft, we have night elves, blood elves, and void elves.

But what would a day elf be like?

Free-standing #cat blob.
A black cat licks its tail. It’s looking as if it has extra legs thanks to the way it’s sitting.

What a weird Ritz cracker. Looks like maybe a conveyor belt problem in the factory.

I like the @flashes.blue app a lot — but it doesn’t seem to know about my existing mute and block lists, so accounts and tags that I don’t want to see keep popping up.

Is this an API shortcoming on Bluesky’s part or something that can be improved in a future update?

I can’t figure out how to enable dark mode in the first-party #Pixelfed iOS app. Anyone know?

Impressia doesn’t seem to want to complete the authorisation process, so I can’t use it yet.

She’s wandered by me a few times this weekend, but I’ve had no lap cuddles these last few days. At least I got this cute shot a few days ago.

Maybe tomorrow?

#EltonJohn
I wrote this "found poetry" using the first lines of Elton John songs:
"Found poetry" is a poem written from fragments of already-published works. This poem uses only the first lines from songs by Elton John: Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane There's a breakdown on the runway And the timeless flights are gone Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain It's a human sign When things go wrong I remember when rock was young I remember it like it was yesterday I don't want to worry you none but I got the hurt on the run And now I know Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say When I think of those East End lights I can't really explain it, I haven't got the words I used to be a rolling stone You know if the cause was right Hey Nikita is it cold In your little corner of the world Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band It's a little bit funny this feeling inside Turn me loose from your hands The roses in the window box Have tilted to one side I've been out here on this road some I'll say it again this is not my city I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room Me and you we're not that pretty Don't wish it away We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry There's a calm surrender to the rush of day You could never know what it's like What have I got to do to make you love me I can hound you if I need to You tell me there's an angel in your tree Holy Moses I have been removed She packed my bags last night pre-flight I never dreamed I could cry so hard Sober in the morning light I can't light no more of your darkness We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday I can see very well I have to say my friends This road goes a long, long way Oh the jokes were never hard to tell I hope the day will be a lighter highway When I look back boy I must have been green And I never thought I'd feel this way Goodbye Norma Jean

It’s definitely a day to stay in. Hopefully with a cat in my lap.

I made my debut at Rolling Stone and got to talk to the brilliant Undaunted Guild about how they've been making World of Warcraft more inclusive

This is how I feel, too. I’m also taking a nap now.

My Chromie hasn’t been joining me on the couch lately. I miss it. But she does cuddle with me before I get out of bed, so there’s that.

I hope she starts cuddling again more often. Maybe if I watch things at night when everyone else is in bed? 🐈‍⬛

Aww. Look at this dot on my Chromie! 🐈
Tabby cats apparently can have dots in place of stripes sometimes. Who knew?

The pictures I’ve been taking lately in #warcraft look like family photos.

I really like the colours in this one; I really need to get Miragosa looking fancier, that’s for sure!

(That’s @halyonix.bsky.social in the front; I don’t think the other dracthyr is on Bluesky).

Dramatic shot from a charity run in World of Warcraft Friday night. @halyonix.bsky.social is the dracthyr on the left with wings spread. I’m the gold-tinged one near the center.

Debate’s open on whether the NPCs in the background are oblivious for not noticing us or are being smart for the same.

The Wampus Cat. 1922. archive.org/details/Wamp...
Illustrated title page of a magazine. The words "The Wampus Cat" appear in white across the black body of a large cat that looks more like a panther or black cougar than a domestic cat. The cat is sticking against a red background with white tree trunks on either side and black conifer branches above implying it's in the woods. A white bar across the top reads "A smasher of fakes, frauds, and hypocrisies" in red text. Other black text below reads "25 cents" and "The only 'varmint' of its kind in captivity".
