A old-fashioned blue and white china bowl with a central design of Cthulhu (a dragon winged creature with an octopus-like head, bulging eyes, and a mass of tentacles where the mouth should be) on the bottom. Above the design it says "may Cthulhu devour this home last"

Im dying from cute overload, chilling with a small black kitten carrying a pink stuffy mouse toy and growling like he just took down an antelope.

I managed to get a pic, even if he dropped the mouse. His name is Delan. We rescued him and his sister Maple last night.

A small black kitten looks up at the camera. He has wide yellow-green eyes. Near him on the floor are food and water dishes and a bright pink mouse toy.

God, same with amaretto sours. Commercial sour mix is an abomination.

Now I want one...
(file photo)
Amaretto sour with an egg white, garnished with a bourbon cherry. A creamy gold cocktail in a short glass with white foam at the top. It's sitting on a white coaster atop a dark wood table.

Two pieces of berry coffee cake with a crumbly topping sit on a wire rack over a light brown wooden cutting board. There are crumbs where the other 7 slices sat before they were served.

Ouch. Also not wrong, given what I'm talking about tomorrow.

New aquariums! Kinda training myself on these - it's been a long time since I kept fish, and never a planted tank. 1st one is my "can I keep this alive?" tank, the 2nd will be home to a betta soon 🌱🐠❤️

So @falzalot.bsky.social got me a full length mirror (🥰❤️) and it dawned on me that I can show off some outfits now!

Ready for work today!
A white woman stands in front of a bed and open closet, framed in a long mirror. A phone partially obscures her face. Curly blue hair is swept back from her face by a hairband. She is wearing a rustic white blouse, a front lacing dark purple & black tapestry bodice, and a long purple skirt. Over this is a loose fitting white cardigan that drapes shawl-like down to her waist. She is entirely in dress code for her place of work. Her coworkers are a little confused, but have gradually come to accept her sartorial eccentricities.

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Me, a white woman with curly blue hair is facing the camera and smiling broadly. I'm dressed in a blousy white shirt and black bodice and am wearing small rectangular reading glasses perched on my nose. Behind me is a bookshelf and laboratory skeleton.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

What poster did you have hanging in your room as a kid?
(Well, as a teenager. I had to share a room and wasn't allowed to hang posters before i was 14 or so)
Movie poster for The Terminator

A few 50's dresses, Victorian and medieval/renaissance style skirts. And corsets! Me and friends (cropped out) at a dance last April:
A white woman with blue hair leans to the left, smiling widely. She is wearing a ruffled black off the shoulder top with a red corset and skirt. She has sparkly earrings and a choker. A gold chain circles her waist.

And so sweet. His hobbies include eating, napping, and being scared of the cat toys that look like mice (he likes the jingle balls that he can chase)

This is Alistair. He joined our family yesterday and is still unsure of the bigger cats (they are all bigger) and exploring his new home.

Happy Gotcha Day!
Small Grey & tan tabby kitten with white paws laying on a pink comforter. He looks uncertain. He has big, dark olive-gold eyes and ears that are too big for his head. We hope he grows into them The same kitten from the first picture, now in profile.

A solid black kitten with very long legs and tail is laying on her side and looking alertly at the camera. She is on a pink & gray floral comforter in a sunlit bedroom. The mood of the photo is very soft and relaxed.

Yeah, the world sucks, but unless you can find joy in small things you'll lose your mind
Two cats, a small black kitten and a larger gray & white tabby, are wrestling on a tan rug with a geometric pattern. The kitten is laying crossways across the tabby, who is on his back and looking somewhat distressed about this unexpected state.

Originally, yes, but this lateral move from our southern California office

Our current head of HR:
A calico cat looks at the person holding the camera. 3 other cats are sleeping behind her (left to right: white with orange spots, black, and orange tabby)
