This is Donut the Library Dragon

(Storytime book feats Duncan the Dragon, who looks nothing like this dragon, and so when I told my friend about it they named him Donut. He is my baby and I love him)

Every night, Mina sits at the head of the bed and waits very loudly until I lay on my stomach with a book propped in front of me so she can squirm under the book and take a nap while I read. I don’t get it, but it makes her happy

You know, I specifically went to look at medieval drawings of cats because I wanted to see if there were body language cues I would recognize from a modern cat and I didn’t really see any? I did see one of a cat Where They Were Not Supposed To Be so I feel like they would have common interests

First off, that’s probably an AI background (dawn cityscape with a child on a bike, watercolor adjacent). Not conclusive, but I also can’t pin down an actual location from it

Also 86k followers and 80 following. This is extremely rare outside of a celebrity account, this makes no pretensions as one

Hi. I don’t want to write cover letters so I’m going to debunk an alleged truth social post so everybody can see what I’m doing ( #alttextforme please, it’s a spicy day)

That’s what I tell Mina when I leave for work, although I had in mind Rura Penthe

Always remember to fold your cats neatly, don’t just stuff them on the shelf any old way

Yall, I just posted something kinda snarky that I had to take down because apparently the bots are searching for posts containing the name of Trump’s bestie. So here’s a screenshot; sorry I can’t do alt text without getting ugly replies from fake accounts

So I saw a post about a new Murderbot book and went looking (Platform Decay, May 2026)

It isn’t fancy yarn, but my neighbor starts college next year and I wanted her to have something pretty for her dorm
