me: wow I am feeling oddly prepared for this school year
the syllabus I forgot to make, now due in two days:
like the forgotten syllabus, a polar bear pokes its head out of a hole in the snow, pleasant but threatening, certainly a Presence. below it is the word "bonjour"

I leave you with a motivational meme of the week. now get out there and MAKE SOME ART #MakeArtMonday
a meme of a running skeleton (also possibly on fire??) with the text (naturally all in different fonts): you can just start! you don't need permission to develop a new interest or skill! if shit sucks, hit the books! THE TIME WILL PAS ANYWAY

small joy 13: I was backing up files on my terabyte (as you do) and found old pictures of my cat as a kitten!! oh my gosh I literally CRIED LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GOOFBALL #catsky
the world's most adorable tabby kitten assists her guardian in making a bed (read: the kitten is in a crouching pose between the fitted sheet and the top sheet, eyes crazy-bonkers huge like she is imminently about to pounce, legs similarly postured. she is looking directly at the viewer. she is ready). the bottom sheet is red, the top sheet is ice cream cones, making the whole scene (kitten included) look kind of pink, as the photo is shot under the sheet. the cat is clearly moments away from pouncing on the person taking this picture

storytime: in the early panini at the height of my sadness, I took up embroidery. recently I've rediscovered it and was surprised how many of the stitches I remembered! sometimes you really do just need an injection of beauty in your life #embroiderysky
a finished embroidery hoop with a bouquet of pink and white flowers, bound by a pink ribbon. the flowers resemble carnations and peonies. the person who did this clearly had a lot of fun making it.

small joy 11: rediscovering old hobbies! I got really into cross-stitch & embroidery during the panini and haven't touched any projects for a few years. I spent some of our recent subzero days making this little guy and I am v fond of him #pigeonsky #embroiderysky

the classic Kaiba vs Yugi card reversal meme. Seto Kaiba's card reads "thinking my neighbor is being silly". Yugi's card reads "her casually dropping ancient egyptian pet lore on me". Seto is sent to the shadow realm, as am I for making the heinous assumption that she was never not operating at galaxy brain level 5 at all times
