the full complement of charms on my bag
details in alt text
i'm not done adding them yet, or that is i'm not done collecting them to add
A purple bag against a white background. There are charms on the front strap -- from left, a partially obscured fish (rainbow trout) in acrylic, a jadeite lotus, a baby Sylvanian or Calico Critter husky, a bunch of Chinese good luck charms on a gold hoop, and a loop that is 2 thick cords, pink and orange I think, knotted together and wrapped in light blue thinner cord at each end and toward the middle (from a glasses case).

repost for time zones. seeking loving home for all or part of this 1:12 living room set (there are also books for the shelf), free.99. cool fact: 10cm dolls can be propped up in these chairs.
i can't take it with me and i'm not paying to store it, so really a loving home is the best option for it.
1:12 living room set. Nautical chair and rug. Chinese coffee table and tea set. MCM sideboard. Horribly loud floral chair. Pen for scale. All but tea set and coffee table handmade.

mixed-metals king (puppy)
A small flocked husky doll (a Sylvanian Families husky baby) on a lobster-clasp silver keychain. The eye pin in his head that allows him to be on a keychain is gold.

looking at pirate pals specifically for that left chair and the rug. i also have a bunch of penguin classics books for the sideboard and a tiny brass sailboat that fits on there as well. what does it cost? whatever you feel it should cost in your heart.
A 1:12 living room set with a ballpoint pen for scale. There is one chair with sailboats, one sideboard with shelves, a coffee table with Chinese tea set, a rug with a ship of some kind, and a chair with garish flowers.

i am looking up hamsters in anticipation of keeping one as a pet someday, and i have learned that chinese hamsters, one pictured below, are docile and mellow and affectionate. i think if i can find one (more likely in thailand than here), i will give it a home.
A Chinese hamster standing in a cage with enrichment items. The hamster is quite small, beige underside, brown/tan fur on the rest of the body, with a dark brown or black stripe starting between its eyes and running down its back. This hamster is standing on its hind legs and holding its front paws in front of its body while looking to the right. Its eyes are black and bright and big in its face.

discord absurdity
Discord profile snap. A hamster with its face pressed up to the camera appears to be saying "Listen Shariputra, this Body itself is Emptiness..." which is from the Heart Sutra translated by Thích Nhất Hạnh. Below, there is my Discord display name, which is Simon written in the Thai script and then Simon in Roman letters.

lakshman, my practice child, on the tatami mat (i can't see very clearly so my pictures are usually blurry, please excuse me)
A stuffed hamster 3 inches tall or so, gold/white in the Syrian pattern, sitting on a mat made of rushes. Blurry because I don't see well enough to know on my phone screen whether something is blurred.

Going to be non specific on this one — it’s a collage of dozens of dwarf hamsters.
