His name is Thoss. He is a doctor.
Me wearing a suit in the children's section of a bookstore. I am holding a large plushie of an anthropomorphic crab with a knowing yet sinister smile. My own expression is rather uneasy.

I just went looking (in vain) on YouTube for the original non-"remastered" version and mixed in with the results were a bunch of AI-generated white girl singer-slopwriters lip-syncing to the song with acoustic guitars and Stepford Wave haircuts
AI-generated young white women lip-syncing to Self Control AI-generated young white women with guitars lip-syncing to Self Control

It's never too early to introduce your kittens to Hellraiser ⛓😺

Man, I just love cats 🥰
A close-up view of two grey-and-white kittens curled up together on a green couch. They are facing each other with eyes closed Two grey-and-white kittens lying on their sides on a green couch. They are mirroring each other with paws entwined. The kitten on the left looks at the camera with eyes happily narrowed while the kitten on the right looks like he's about to yawn The same kittens with their position shifted slightly so each kitten's front paws rest on the other's belly fur. The leftmost kitten is in the midst of a yawn while the kitten on the right has her head back exposing her chin

Went to vote before work today (eat it, Cuomo) and was pleased to see some Halloween decorations still up (especially that pumpkin in the second pic!)
Me wearing two different types of grey-and-black plaid with an "I voted" sticker and flipping off the camera A skeleton waving on stoop steps to the right of a really fucking cool pumpkin with a relief-carved face depicting huge round eyes, a skeletal nosehole, and a wide grin full of teeth A skeleton on a bench with a skeletal dog sitting at its feet. The bench is flanked by two plague doctors Jack o' lanterns on stoop steps next to a witch, werewolf, and Frankenstein monster. A creepy clown emerges from a floral bush

These sweet silly babies have been living with me for two months as of today! They've grown so much but are still so small

Halloween may be technically over, but horror is perennial and my book is currently absurdly cheap over on the Bezos site for some reason and length of time I have no control over. Now is a good time to grab it, just sayin'

I'm holding a red cape over my chest in Dracula fashion Me as the Red Death again, dramatically holding up the edge of my cape while resting my other hand on my hip Me as the Red Death flipping off the camera. On my erect middle finger is a silver ring depicting the Death tarot card in which Death is colored in with red enamel Me as the Red Death holding up an hourglass and pointing directly at the camera with eyes wide

A serious breakthrough has been made (note the paws!)
On a green couch, an adult orange tabby cat is curled up like a shrimp with eyes partly opened. Next to him, a grey-and-white kitten rests with eyes closed. They each have a white forepaw extended so their little pink beans touch in the middle A slightly different angle of the paw touch

Catching up with the babies and the big man.
First of three photos of a grey tuxedo kitten sitting on a stack of books in the left foreground while an adult orange tabby cat stands on the floor in an open doorway in the right background. Here, both cats look directly at the camera. Both cats' necks are craned. They appear to be looking at each other. The cats are looking away from each other, but each has its eyes closed in a kitty smile.

I also dug up this old notepad from when I started at this job, having forgotten I'd altered the dapper gent on the cover 🧐

Vaguely '70s Corporate Goth today since I had to go into the office for a company meeting. I ended up showing several of my coworkers photos of the new kittens and sneaking some cake and corporate sandwich segments to take home.
Me wearing cat-eye-ish glasses, red lipstick, a black turtleneck, a black plaid coat, a gold tooth pendant, and my hair in a loose bun. I'm sitting in an office cubicle.

Catching up with my kittens' dad, bodega cat Oreo, who is apparently on security detail today. (And one of Oreo's human dads at the bodega counter said he was glad he'd let me have two of the kittens because he knew I would take good care of them ☺)
A black-and-white cat perched on a cardboard box on the top of a bodega shelf. He looks very serious and alert. The same cat looking down at you suspiciously
