When museums and Bluesky collide. @adapalmer.bsky.social the only copy of the printed Sforziad signed by the illuminator says hi! (Yes, I told people to look it up in Inventing The Renaissance.)

Oh look a pseudo Roman statue. Why is he wearing a crop top? Okay, sluttiest Roman emperor... Why does my brain say Hadrian?
(It's Hadrian. No idea how my brain made the connection. Except the six months I spent basically living in the Louvre as a kid.)

Very curious what KWZ Syrenka will look like in a fountain pen - it's freaking spectacular in dip pen.

I had tegaderm just give up two hours after application on my wrist tattoo. My artist said to just apply saran wrap, chany every four hours during the day (sleeping through the night is fine) and gently wash and disinfect during changes (octenidine). It healed fine - that was two years ago.

Warsaw can be awfully pretty sometimes. I remember when this bit was an industrial wasteland, now it's gone from Fallout to Star Trek.

New toy! Small Polish pen maker and visual artist Jan Smaga of Wiland Pens released a budget resin version of the already cheaper than his usual, ebonite Wiland Popularne, and I finally decided on a colour. (Not ruling out buying an ebonite version later because gorgeous colours too)

I have managed to get through twenty years of musical fandom without hearing a single note of Wicked Act Two. This is no longer the case and yeah, proper live production of it is thrilling. Maria Tyszkiewicz absolutely killed it as Elphaba.

Nemo is back from three weeks of weight loss retreat (aka living with my mum and her diabetic old lady cat who's also on a vet ordered diet), and he's under 8 kg finally. I didn't weigh him at his heaviest but that's at least a kilo less than his maximum. Steroids suck.

Cat grooming is less popular here and thanks to you I knew it existed and got my cat's butt shaved when he was having trouble grooming due to steroid weight gain. He's so much happier when clean!

In contrast to Percy the hysteric, Mousesack has been pronounced perfectly healthy. And opinionated. He gave the vet a whole lecture!

Percy had a tooth removed two days ago. Percy didn't come to feed last night or this morning, and I had to drag him out from under a bed.
Percy has now been diagnosed with hysteria because there's Nothing Wrong With Him.
(Apart from fever, which cats can get from being hysterical stressballs.)
