Admittedly, I didn't see the bed at first and thought it was a comment on him nesting in a crevice.

By "feed" I mean "there is an entire home-cooked meal every session". I can accommodate many food allergies, as well as mobility and sensory issues.
There are also very cute animals that want you to pet them. Look at him. He needs you to come slay things with him
A very cute orange and white corgi looks beseechingly into the camera.

After battling ADHD/RMNP's Timed Entry System, I have made it up to the Alpine Tundra for the first time since 2017.
A view of the last glaciers in Colorado on a distant mountainside, seen over a rocky plain of microflora. The sky is threatening to rain. Rocky Mountain National Park's Alpine Tundra, a field of granite boulders covered in microflora, stretching up to the final tips of the mountains. You have run out of up. View of the Never Summer range from Forest Canyon Lookout in RMNP. The distant mountains are dark and purplish in the hazy air, and the sky is threatening to do more than rain. An itty bitty rufous hummingbird sits on a twig in front of a dark green bush. It's very round, has little chin spots, and an orange and green body. It's giving the photographer the stink-eye.

The Great Curassow doesn't live in Peru anymore, but its historical range included Peru.

Starred Wood Quail?
a small, very round bird with intricate black-and-white patterns on a brown body and a bright yellow crest, standing on a branch and screaming.

Behold, my Cardigan Welsh Crime Tube, Herschel The Hanukkah Goblin.
It's taken five years to get a picture of him doing this. He does it all the time, but likes running from the camera just to be a shithead <3
A large orange-and-white corgi, standing on his hind legs with his front feet on the sill of a low window, so he can look outside it into the yard for squirrels to yell at.

I'm doing thistle mitigation, but needed something to tend, so this is the 2025 garden: starts that fell off the back of a truck, got run over, but lived and irises I found in a bag behind the garage that are, inexplicably, still alive. Planted in a hole the dogs dug in the middle of the lawn.
A picture of five pots of flowers. Two large ones with red and yellow flowers and leafy plants, and three small pots between them with baby irises. They have all been wedged into a hole the dog dug.

The heart is a maple leaf. - Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" jagged line cover, but the text is "San Andreas/Geologic Pressures" - The Eagle's "Hotel California" but it's titled "Hotel Connecticut" The same Catgirl as the previous image, but now she's naked to show off her cool Calico pattern, nice tiddies and thicc ass.

MOUSEL TOV! Miss Vanilla Bee (named after the drink I dumped out to catch her) has gone to her new forever home!
A very cute white mouse explored her new enclosure, a tank full of wood shavings and mouse toys, in the back seat of the van she's being driven home in. She's very excited and curious.

Found someone's pet mouse at the Denver Botanic Gardens today, I left my number with them in case anyone comes looking for her, but she is also very much free to a good home. I will personally deliver her of you're on the CO front range.

Hm. So letting Mochi get really high on nip and turning on CatTV so he'd stop harassing me *did* work... Only now he's growling at the TV (very entertained) and Herschel is barking at it in solidarity.
Living room with a TV tuned to a stream of birds at a feeder. An orange tabby and orange corgi are watching it with RAPT interest.

Doing Character Design with the discords, accidentally made my first mood board!
A screenshot from discord that reads "Ok so you understand my Vision though?" followed by a 3 by 3 block of nine images consisting of Leliel Evangelion, the sudbury neutrino observatory, a barbie pink circuit board, an organic tangle of black cables, an abstract painting of fern-like organic shapes, a very symmetrical fleshy pink sluglike "angel", a more conventional humanoid body w/ wigns but circle of eyes" angel, a sculpture of angel wings but they're made of hands, and an abstract, gooey resistance-dye painting that looks like an eye. After the image block is more text, reading "Oh hey! I made a moodboard!"

I FINISHED HIM. Scytalis, Demon Prince of Statistics and Skincare, for a short story about the mudane-to-profane complications of running Heaven/Hell (they're the same place, Angel and Demon are just jobs in the greater organization). Scytalis is (on average) a gentle and helpful demon (On Average).

I LOVE DRAWING! I say
SNAKES ARE SO FUN AND EASY! i say
(wip)
digital drawing of a fantasy serpent with the legs and wings of a bird. It's a work in progress, but the heavily detailed linework is done, and the iridescence is being laid down.

HERE HE IS, MISTER BEAUTIFUL!!!
A cartoonishly lumpy but tasty-looking bread loaf in the shape of a crucified Jesus Close up of the face of the bread Jesus. He is cockeyed and looks like he had a bad lip filler job The bread Jesus, on its side. Just the tip of Bread Jesus's Bread Dick is poking out from under his shroud.

Dad said it was very important that Bread Jesus had Bread Nipples. He's been given an egg wash and put in the oven.
An effigy of Jesus Christ made in bread dough. His appearance.is comical. Bread "nails" have been driven into his hands and feet, as well as a pair of Nipples into his chest. The same carbalicious savior, now even more risen and covered in a bright egg wash.

Let's play spot the difference: bread loaf vs. Therapy loaf

BEHOLD! SATISFACTORY DESK ARRANGEMENT!! The rest of the drawers are in the garage. I had a plan involving cross-braces but once I got the facebook-marketplace-free shelves under there I realized that this was a job for Duct Tape.
A large white tabletop held up by two sets of storage cabinets with wire baskets and wheels on the bottom. A roll of gold-colored Duct tape sits on top Underside of the same desk, demonstrating how the metal cabinet racks have been adhered to the bottom of the tabletop with the aforementioned gold duct tape. You can also see the holes and drill marks of the previous, unsuccessful legs.

Drafting out some quilt ideas while i take a rest day from yesterday's Carboardening of the yard, and also to see what all those buttons I don't use in Clip Studio do.
