I made the dirty chai bars that @h1ghpriest3ss.bsky.social mentioned a while back and they are GOOD www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/dirt...

Taking a break from stealing the orange boys beds as a form of psychological warfare
Stella, a white cat with black ears and patches, is simply vibing in her blue fuzzy pyramidal cat house, with her head sticking out of the door.

This looks cosy but the orange is trying to usurp his brother
A white cat with orange patches being squished into the side of a cat tree platform bed by his completely orange brother, who is taking up as much room as possible

I've been growing this beautiful forest of cat grass, and today I decided it was big enough to survive cat predation

Bar Luca in downtown Sydney who do great fucking burgers, they have a chicken karaage burger, a southern fried chicken thigh burger, and a standard chicken burger. i'd happily demolish any of these. even if Gucci Jang is a stupid name.

This is my favourite paint job so far
Screenshot of plane, titled VH-SIF, photo credit James Saunders. A chonky large but short plane with a mostly black body and wings, with a realistic sun between the last passenger windows and the tail, and a southern cross constellation on the tail. About the 1st quarter of it up to the start of the wings is white. It is extremely well designed aesthetically.

The most wretched creature

Dirty face and filthy attitude
A white cat with black ears and head patches, a red collar with a blue tag, sitting on a yellow sofa. Photo taken using front facing camera so it looks kind of like a selfie of the most unimpressed cat imaginable. My arm and purple shirt in the background.

look i'm sorry but i don't think you should store anything in this tin. and you also shouldn't use a label on the lid that says POISON if it doesn't actually contain poison.

this is going in my Archives Hall of Fame images folder.
my hand, holding a extremely rusty and dirty cylindrical tin around 15cm diameter and 10cm tall. The remnants of a dark red label are visible on the lid and side. The label on the side of the tin has the word "pharmacetical" partially visible. my hand holding a rusty and dilapidated round tin around 15cm diameter, seen from above. the top of the tin has had a label that includes the words "poison"and "Department of Public Health, Administration of Papua and New Guinea" pasted to the top on top of its original label. dark black stains from rust and water damage are all through the label. I have digitally scribbled over a patch at the top of the label to obscure some of it.

then i saw this incredibly ironic label on the thing that sticks out at the left

I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUT MY ARMS UNDER THE BLADE IN THE FIRST PLACE

AND IT SHOULDN'T BE DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT MAKES PUTTING MY ARMS UNDER THE BLADE THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO USE IT
close up of a very worn handwritten label on a guillotine thing. says "make sure arms aren't under the blade".

the only guillotine i could find at this client looked dangerous as fuck. then i discovered the only way to use it easily was to make it MORE DANGEROUS. the safety bar was missing washers, so i had to remove it, bc otherwise i had to physically lift it by reaching UNDER THE BLADE every SINGLE TIME
a blue Dahle guillotine paper cutter with the blade that's on a handle that you have to physically vertically lift to use it. looks about 30-40 years old. safety bar removed and sitting at the top of the paper surface because i have to live dangerously.

Not popcorn but this is Jasper coveting my döner kebab

i happen to be much more familiar with a very different setting of the tune, learned at university choir pub nights. my first thought was WHY are they learning THE SEXUAL LIFE OF THE CAMEL

oh

right. Botany Bay. Not the camel. and DON'T sing Camel while you're at a SCHOOL.
Photo of sheet music of The Sexual Life of the Camel. 2 staves of music, the tune of 'Botany Bay' in D major. Lyrics: Oh the sexual life of the camel, is stranger than anyone thinks: at the height of the mating season, it tries to bugger the Sphinx. But the Sphinx's posterior sphincter is clogged with the sands of the Nile, which accounts for the hump on the camel, and the Sphinx's inscrutable smile. In the process of syphilisation, from anthropod ape down to man, it is generally held that the Navy, has buggered whatever it can. Yet painful extensive researches by Darwin and Huxley and Ball, have conclusively proved that the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. We therefore believe our conclusion is incontrovertibly shown, that comparative safety on shipboard is enjoyed by the hedgehog alone. Why haven't they done it at Penguin, as they've gone it at Harvard and Yale, And also at Sydney and Monash, by shaving the spine off its tail? Singing bum-titty-titty, bum-titty-titty, titty-bum, etc.

i'm wearing my librarian hat at work rn. i'm perpetually annoyed by Z39.50 (copy-catalogue search) never recognising my ISBNs when I scan them directly from book barcodes. yeah. anyway. people who know this are laughing now.
diagram from ISBN page on Wikipedia showing parts of a book barcode. Image: text "ISBN 817525766-0". then a barcode. then the number below the barcode "9788175257665". this image is slightly greyed out. above the ISBN text are brackets breaking it into number sets and labels for these sets as follows: Group, Publisher, Title, Check digit. Below the barcode number are similar brackets breaking it into: EAN, Group, Publisher, Title, Check digit. The first 3 digits of the barcode are 978. the remainder are the same as the ISBN except the ISBN ends in 0 and the barcode in 5. Thus the barcode has the ISBN inside it with the same data encoded in it.

We are photosynthesising
A white cat with orange patches, lying on the dirt in a large planter pot containing a dwarf lemon tree, on a balcony. He is covered in a dusting of dirt and has a perfectly happy expression on his face. The sun is very bright and strong.

It's 0530. I've been having dreams of spot fires and fires being set in implausible ways, around my parents' place. I got up to go to the bathroom and there's a smoke smell thru the windows. Hazards Near Me shows that the first controlled burns of the season are responsible for my dreams.

I'm trying to install a stick on door seal to stop the draft from my apartment building hallway because Australia is an uninsulated hellscape

Turns out our floor isn't flat so when the door swings out, the seal which doesn't touch the floor at closed position, scrapes the floor at 45° open

Ugh, I was hoping the link image would be the item. Here:

He's achieved his perfect moment.
A white cat with orange ears, back, leg patches, and tail, wearing a blue harness and lead, curled up in a cardboard lounge scratcher on balcony tiles amongst dirt, pots, a watering can, etc. He looks perfectly content.

Same box as above, looking much more chewed at the front than above (Stella's work). A dark orange cat is loafed in it lengthwise, with his head up against the back right corner.
