Just got my copy of the Magus and the Oracle by @momatoes.com and very excited for it!
The Magus solo TTRPG book and the box for the Oracle, a set of cards that are meant to help with inspiration while playing!

The fan being *on* has not deterred these birds from trying to nest on it. Their solution? More nests.

Suggestions? 😂

Waiting for @erininthemorning.com to post about the substack article she posted three seconds ago so I can reskeet it

@wtyppod.bsky.social Bought a sticker at one of your live shows a couple years ago and wasn't able to rescue it from my old laptop... Any chance y'all will be doing another printing?

Tried to give my dog a new treat... He turned his nose up at it and tried to nudge it away. Pretended to give it to the cat... He snatched it right up. What a little butt

Oh my god she is so pretty!

I have a lifeguard too but it isn't my cat 😂
A picture of my dog, Dax, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix, with the top of his head barely visible over the side of the tub, staring at me. Same dog, now standing on his hind legs, with one paw on the side of the tub, and the other curled up against his side, peeking into the tub.

I've seen cars these days that can do wonderful things with 360 cameras; naively I assume it is vastly more complicated but may someday be possible to simulate a galactic selfie 😂
Image illustrating 360 degree camera systems in cars; with four cameras, one on each side of the car, some cars can stitch together a "bird's eye view" of the car and its surroundings that looks like it was taken from above the car.

Something I am pretty excited about is this book I picked up at a science café last night. Super interested in works like this. The audacity & synthesis across disparate fields... Leads to huge holes in the logic but I like the unorthodox thinking. Feels like how science was a few centuries ago.
Cover of "Experiences in the Biocontinuum" by Richard L. Summers, subtitled "A New Foundation for Living Systems." It's a plain white book with a physics/mathy diagram on the front of "entropic interference" that the author of this skeet does not possess the physics background to explain in a meaningful way.

A partially melted snowman covered in dry grass. His face, buttons, carrot, and left arm have all dropped to the ground, but he's still wearing a hat (which has fallen to cover his entire face), a scarf draped around his shoulders, with one droopy arm hanging on. The bottom layer is still spherical but the top two are thin and spindly.

I'm scrolling Bluesky while giving Henry a belly rub and I think he would beg to differ
A photo of a cat happily receiving a belly rub while purring and air kneading. A slightly goofier looking photo of the same cat receiving a belly rub where he's stretching his paws towards the camera.

Did Christmas with my folks early this year because we're jetting off to Hanukkah with my in-laws by the 25th but look at Dottie with her Christmas present 🥺 she's been carrying it around with her everywhere for over an hour.

A picture of a small Chihuahua/Yorkie dog curled up, half-asleep but giving the camera the side eye. His ears take up almost have the height of the frame. Super cute!

These are some of the cutest pictures of my dog I have ever captured 😭
A fluffy little Yorkie/Chihuahua, laying on his back on a quilt, with a fuzzy blanket pulled up over him, and both of his paws resting over the blanket. His eyes are closed and he looks sleepy A more zoomed in picture of the little dog, where his eyes are partially open and he's giving the camera a sleepy side-eye

Why is he so pathetic yet so handsome?
A silly grey tabby cat with a very "square jaw" looking face staring blankly at the camera. He is sitting up straight, just staring.

Here's our senior girl. She's 17 and has all her teeth but only one of her eyes 😂
Old lady dog sitting on a shaggy grey dog bed. She's looking very pathetically at the camera with her one remaining eye. Old lady dog wearing an eye patch and a bomber-pilot.costume. she's sitting in a different dog bed than the previous image and looking excitedly up at the camera. Old lady dog sharing a long apple peel string with a smaller, younger dog. He's eating the end of the string, which is draped over her head on the other side. It was very funny and kind of lady-and-the-tramp like but at the time of the picture she wasn't chowing down on the apple peel, just looking up at me.

We're doing drawnames for Hanukkah this year and I didn't realize you could add a link to an external wishlist. So I tried to come up with a list from the few things on that website. Found a cool board game and some fancy chocolate. But then I saw this and realized I'm destined to become a mossman
A drawnames wishlist entry for a full body camouflage/hunting Ghillie suit, in forest green. It comes with a cute little camo stuff sack to stay on theme. No, I don't hunt, but I would totally roam the woods near my home as a moss man

Reasons I like WFH days:

1: Saves time on commute
2: Better lunch options
3:
A selfie in front of a laptop keyboard with my cat Henry. He is laying right in between me and my laptop. He is a very fluffy grey tabby cat, very handsome, 10/10 My cat in front of my laptop, looking back at me, giving me the side eye. The laptop has some prototype code on it (because I pulled it up for sake of the picture) because I'm a diligent scientist

Last rotation student of the year, last "going away" assorted dessert 😂
A cupcake pan with several miniature French silk pies (you can see the graham cracker crust, the cool whip top, and the crumbly chocolate sprinkles). A hand holding a miniature French silk pie that has been cut into. You can see the layers: chocolate pudding on the bottom (dark brown), 50/50 chocolate pudding/cool whip (light brown) and cool whip on top (white).

And some bonus friends I met along the way 😁
Three turtles on a concrete tube in the UGA turtle pond! One of them is standing up looking at me sideways (menacing); one of them is tucked in his lil shell, and the other is a baby! His foot is flung out like he's trying to swim in the air haha. A little jumping spider on a rusty handrail (very small). He's turning toward the camera. Another picture of the jumping spider from bead on. You can see his mouthparts and his four big eyes!

My #ankylosingspondylitis makes it difficult to sit at a desk for 8 hours in a day sometimes so I thought I'd try exploring parts of the UGA campus I haven't been before 😁
View from an open pedestrian bridge between different wings of the forestry building. The walkway overlooks a brick patio and several trees, with pretty fall colors. I had to sneak into the forestry building to get here haha A mural showing green hands wrapped with leaves, and daisies, sunflowers, birds, and a monarch butterfly. Some tall orange plume flowers in front of a greenhouse. A bush with clusters/spikes of dusty pink flowers, next to a bush with a bunch of hot pink individual saucer flowers on the left, and a bush with individual white saucer flowers on the right. There are trees and greenhouses in the background.
