Under no circumstances is this staying on my CAMWS lightning talk slides, but it did make me laugh. Might typeset it for a cross stitch project.
White text on a red background that reads “where have we come from, where did we go, where have we come from, Michel Foucault?”

Some cozy Mona for you 🫂
A mottled grey cat curled into a ball, asleep against the leg of a person with the corner of a laptop visible in their lap. She looks very cozy. A shoulder-up picture of a grey cat lying on a person’s lap, with their hand scritching her scruff. Her eyes are closed and she looks blissfully relaxed.

Without downloading any new pics what's your energy going into 2025

My #crossstitch project is really coming along!

Obviously the middle of grad school is the best time to pick up a hobby. In other news, I’m having a great time with cross-stitch lately.
A partially finished cross-stitch pattern with layers of sunset colours, stretched across an embroidery hoop. The finished stitching fills about 1/4 of the hoop. The blank fabric has been gridded with green guidelines.

Just a little dose of Saturday evening relaxation.
A grey and white cat lies sprawled on her side, belly facing the view, on a green floral table cloth.

Dilute torties do be BEGGING to get out of baby jail! My beloved Mona was much the same—ready to rock on day two of coming home.
A grey cat sleeps curled up on a purple blanket with white stripes. The face and front paws of a grey cat are visible looking up at the camera from a pile of coats. A grey cat dangles forward in a silly fashion off a cat tree; the top of her head and her front legs are visible.

I got gifted book money rather than books this year and yesterday I went to Room of One’s Own, so here’s my haul! If I get through all these this year I’ll be pleased.
A stack of four fiction books: The Water Outlaws by SL Huang, Witch King by Martha Wells, All the Hidden Paths by Foz Meadows, and When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb. A stack of five non-fiction books: Red Skin, White Masks by Glen Coulthard, Complaint! by Sara Ahmed, Female Masculinity by Jack Halberstam, Pleasure and Efficacy by Grace E Lavery, and Femina by Janina Ramirez.

Post a meme made by you
Three men stand around framed portrait. The portrait is edited to be a black and white photo of Sigmund Freud. A text caption in the photo reads “I’ve had enough of this dude.”

Reskeet a banger picture of your cat!
