got this adorable little freaky guy in the mail from @seymourgalore.bsky.social
a small art board of a couple inches on each side with a red fuzzy monster painted on it against a black background. The monster has one big eye and a single fang in the middle of his mouth, giving him a plaintive expression

botober day 2: Pinetanabous mold

(it’s festive and possibly edible!)
an ink drawing of a somewhat lumpy gelatin mold in the shape of a pine tree. The gelatin mold is on a shiny plate with pine twigs below it and the words “Pinetanabous mold” written next to it.

botober day 1: noodle juice
#botober2025
an ink drawing of pasta being made in a hand-cranked pasta maker, straight into a hand cranked juicer. Somehow there is pasta juice filling a glass under it. The words ‘noodle juice’ are written next to the picture.

here’s your bug (could be a loading failure in my end tho)
a set up boxes describing comparisons between TMBG albums where you can pick a winner, tie or exclude options. One of the options shows a picture of the album “Here Come’s Science” but it’s labeled below as Long Tall Weekend. The opposite option shows the album “Book” labeled correctly.

have a blue spotted purple morph white admiral to clear your mind
a white admiral butterfly with its wings open sitting on a railing. It’s a blue spotted purple morph, so it’s shades of dark blue and orange with lighter blue and black barring on the lower wing edges, no white on it visible

anyway, here’s my window spider, who I would chase away with a long stick but I’m too squeamish to open the adjoining balcony door when he’s out

book stack (these are the books that aren’t in my two full half-height bookcases haha)
a big pile of books. It’s about three books deep from the wall, seven to eight books wide and ten books high. The books range from big science textbooks to small trade paperbacks.

we dig the summery postcard from @realityminus3.bsky.social 🐀☀️
a postcard with a cartoon graphic about the sun as a destination with text reading “warmest greetings from the sun”, and “Star of the solar system”. There’s a red sun in the background and the words “the sun” have labelled graphics inside the letters showing its features, including “nuclear fusion”, “14 million degrees Celsius interior”, “sunspots”, “solar flares”, “family of planets”, and “beautiful corona”

Interestingly, it looks like we hung up both the comic and my version the day after it came out (according to my photo roll):
xkcd cartoon of squirrel that says “I don’t want to draw someone throwing up a gallon of blood, so here’s a squirrel instead” hung above an xkcd-style drawing of a stick figure throwing up a gallon of blood

if you see this, i implore you to post a pic from your device without context
meme diagram a series of aeroplanes configured in increasingly silly ways in order to make a chemistry joke: single plane labeled aeroplane two planes labeled aeroplene three planes labeled aeroplyne one plane with a double bonded oxygen hanging from it labelled aeroplone one plane with a carboxyl group attached to the cockpit labeled aeroplanloic acid one plane with a hydroxyl group attached to the cockpit labeled aerohol two planes connected cockpit to tail with a carboxylic acid ester group (that’s a double bonded oxygen on the front of one plane and an oxygen bonded between them) labeled aeroplyl aeranoate six planes in a ring labeled cyclohexaplane (there is small text inside the ring that says ‘bloody sweet chemistry) a six sided ring alternating one plane and two planes per side labeled planezene

my valentines package from @seymourgalore.bsky.social is cute and fun 🥰
valentines cards and items including an envelope with a “hippo Valentine’s Day” sticker, a cardboard mini keychain of cartoon character Snoopy hugging Woodstock, a small pink envelope with Snoopy reading valentines on it, a slightly larger pink envelope with Barbie and a friend on it that says “Cari” in handwritten fancy script with stars and a heart, a mini card of Snoopy typing “I hope your day is full of fun” on his typewriter, and stickers of Barbie and a skateboarding outfit

I drew this little sketch the other night because moving to the middle of nowhere feels a lot like living on a desert island sometimes, I have not learned to fish yet but I do eat a lot of tuna helper
cartoon style sketch of a desert island with a single palm tree, a person sitting cross legged reading some books, a tent, two cats wandering the beach and a fishing pole with its hook in the water. A fish is swimming nearby

success! it seems sturdy enough for a 13 lb dude

I was a little baffled by the instructions which tell you to assemble it vertically rather than horizontally, given that there are screws on the bottom 🧐

in the mean time I’m distracting myself by trying to figure out how to turn all this into a little cat stepladder
the pieces for making a beige set of cat stairs, assembly very much required. There are carpeted slabs of various sizes and carpeted tubes of similarly varied sizes, and a pink hardware bag

saying goodbye to my (not very driveable anymore) Fiero, from a few hundred miles away 🥲 (thanks @clarwyn.bsky.social for the legwork, I’m sure you’re glad it’s not taking up space in your driveway anymore haha)

Post your favorite #DoctorWho, wrong answers only

(I’m slightly cheating here but not really because this is my favorite basically-the-Doctor literary character)

setting my status to ‘busy’ so I can step outside for a minute and see actual snow (and make a tiny snowman)

the little cat dude says ten pills a day is one thing but a syringe-full of panacur is a step too far (this shot doesn’t really do justice to how much chalk-colored drool he is coated in)

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

(oh no)
The cast of the tv show The West Wing. They are seated and/or standing in the Oval Office

thank you 💕 I need to go to the library to borrow the next discs for my current binge-through of the west wing but the little dude is sleeping like a baby next to me and I can’t bear to wake him up lol
