Christmas traditions are not always bad. This is one of mine. Every years me and a few hundred like minded freaks from all walks of life gather here to wallow in the world of Dickens.
It’s part Christmas Craft Fair, part dodgy history lesson, part bar, part theatre…

Minor Acts of Joy: Pocket friends, check this action out. I taught my FIRST EVER theatre class yesterday (improv street theatre - villains edition) at workshops for #Dickens.

And it went pretty darn good, even if the class was SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER than I was expecting. Woof!

I know I’m all about #cats, but every now and then, you just gotta #dog.
So in that spirit - I give you the platonic ideal of canine “but daaaaAAAAAaaaad, WHYYYYyyyy?”
A dog - breed: mahogany dorkster - with a toy on his head. He really really wants that toy. But he is waiting on the word to toss it and flip it. He is a VERY good boy.

Inspired by @okgokid.bsky.social and @punkrockdoll.bsky.social - but I’m not a writer. I did used to be a half decent artist before age and adulthood took me. So in that spirit, something from my very early 20s. A kindly angel.
An angel, emaciated and wan. Missing the lower half of their body. The illustration is done in pen and ink, with wobbly linework and no gray tones. It is goth as fuck.

I made a candy bowl. Surely the children will love it. It has candy in it. Yay. Candy.

A photo of two cats. One pitch black shorthair and one fluffy Turkish Van type. They are sitting on a bathroom sink, and behind them is a toilet and two signs with “bathroom cats” on them.

This “sleepy chicken and egg cow-town” came out. Hundreds, maybe thousands. Every part of this country is _pissed_.

The huntress with her prey. She killed it real good.
A little orange cat who has chased, caught, and killed a VICIOUS stuffed mousey. She now poses elegantly with her prey, rebelling in her victory. She is very proud of herself, and rightly so. She got SKILLS yo.

This is the Platonically perfect example of the problem describing itself, right here.
I genuinely cannot tell if the response to Jay was intended as humor, or trolling, or, god forbid, just EPICALLY un-self-aware.
Whatever, it’s hilarious.
A response to Jays acknowledgement of the sometimes annoying “BlueScold” culture on this network, followed by a textbook example of that exact activity.

Ovinomancer.
Reusable sheepification? Love it.
Sure, it’s janky AF, and bad against graveyards, and crazy expensive, and…. Ok. Fine. It’s a bad card.
But I will
Always love it. And anyone who mocks me for it can get sheeped.

Lord, grant me the simple contentment of this Little Orange Cat™️, and may my existence bring the peace and joy to others that hers brings to me.

Amen.

Everything sucks and a once great nation is falling to fascism. Not here though. Not in this house. I have a guardian. I have a little orange kitty. She ain’t gonna take no shit.
A little orange cat sleeping. She is smiling g a little because she is dreaming of murder. And she does love to murder.

This is an abomination.
I fully expect it will be an abomination IN MY MOUTH at the earliest available opportunity.

An advertising image of “Taco Bell Baja Blast” pie. Why? I dont know, and I don’t care. I just want it in my face. Yes, I know it’s wrong, I know it’s obscene, I know it’s an affront to gods, humanity, and nature. BUT I DO NOT CARE. I must experience the “colors out of pie” for myself, I must savor its eldritch squish, I must feel the powdery cardboard crust with into dust upon my suffering palate. Oh GOD YES, Baja Blast Me Baby! Shower me in creamy chemical bliss! As above so below! AMEN!

I have decided text scammers will be my new BEST FRIENDS. Now I just wait till triggers a reply from a human. I like humans. They’re chewy.
A pitch from a text scammer. It’s all bullshit. My response to the scammer. It’s a bit unhinged and involves drugs, blood, and damage. With a smile.
