there has never been a more perfect final turn of a pokemon emerald item randomizer- two of my favorite pokemon, one being a full odds shiny, and a perish song from wallace's last pokemon

not pictured: the level 72 swampert (my favorite starter) who swept the elite 4 but swapped out on perish song
A screenshot of a Pokemon Emerald battle on an emulator. The player's pokemon is a shiny level 43 Azumarill named Scrambled. The opponent has a level 58 Altaria at a quarter HP. The text box reads "Foe Altaria's Perish count fell to 0!"

I got new Lucy & Yak pants and was so excited to wear them to work that I fully ✨got ready✨ for the first time in weeks only for all of my meetings AND the fun lunch to be canceled 😔
Shan is a midsize white woman with long, light brown curls. She's wearing a cream sweater and wide leg pants with a blue, cream, and gold checked pattern with suns. Shan smiles in a selfie. Her makeup and the top 2/3 of her hair are stellar but wtf is going on with those ends, I need a haircut

finally got the new art on the walls above the new dresser 🎉 ft. customized art of my favorite, life-changing Crane Wives song & a piece I fell in love with a couple months ago! (neither people are on here for me to tag them 😔)
two framed 12x16 art pieces above a black and rattan dresser with clutter on top. The piece on the left is a painting of a green vinyl record with a sheet of song lyrics below it (details in next picture). The piece on the right is a painting of the back of a fat body wearing a black thong with clear bluff brush strokes, including celestial imagery on the shoulder blades and butt cheeks. A framed 12x16 painting of a green vinyl spinning on an orange back round. A sheet of paper in the bottom left of the frame has the song lyrics to "Arcturus Beaming" by The Crane Wives.

cons: extracty (derogatory), still depressed
pros: extracty (nostalgic), shocked out of PMDD spiraling from shaking the bag with the ice in it

now to figure out if I can justify taking a third sick day/mental health day within a week and a half

It's been years of burnout recovery since I finished anything, but I'm a fiber artist! I focus on cross stitch and punch needle but have tried my hand at a lot of others. I'm trying to get back to it but Ruby likes to eat all of my yarn and string 😅 #punchneedle #crossstitch #craftsky

about to annoy all my parent friends when i tell them that i too know what it's like to be vomited on by a 2-year-old at midnight and forced to wash your bedding in the middle of the night

my little pickle is pickling VERY hard at the moment but she is still a big ol' sweetie

obligatory Spotify Wrapped post
A Spotify Wrapped screenshot of my top artists: #1: The Crane Wives, #2 Meg Washington, #3 Mitski, #4 Taylor Swift, #5 St. Vincent. Additional commentary reads: "what an unexpected surprise, and by unexpected, I mean completely expected. except for TS, no clue how she keeps ending up here when I don't consider myself a swiftie at all lmao" A Spotify Wrapped screenshot summarizing my listening history. The same top artists as the previous photo. top songs: #1 Catherine Wheel, #2 Arcturus Beaming, #3 Batflowers, #4 Lazarus Drug, #5 Silencio. Minutes listened: 20,911. Additional commentary reads: "what started as 'that song from bluey was beautiful' turned into a FULL OBSESSION with the full album- all but Arcturus are from it!"

we've had a bit of a "can't keep food down" saga the past couple of days and part of it is that ruby keeps eating way too fast, even from the slow feed mat i got her. we're making do with what we have while i figure out a better slow feed method for wet food!

i've only had my ruby baby for a day and she's already so popular that my apartment complex is naming her pet of the month, and who could blame them??
Ruby is a tortoiseshell pattern domestic shorthair cat. She has a line directly down her face splitting it between an orange left half and black right half. Ruby looking up at me at the shelter with big ol' eyes you just can't say no to. Ruby exploring my favorite green chair. Ruby winking and stretching toward the camera with her bottom teeth visible.

i'm finally adopting a cat this weekend (!!!) and my cousin who volunteers at the humane society has been sending me pics of ones they think would be a good fit.

they sent me an orange cat named goo today and i don't think a more perfect cat could possibly exist

idk if I'll get him but we'll see!

felt cute, might start a substack later idk

(mostly i just needed to show off the top i made a couple months ago! my first from-scratch sewing project in years!)
Shan is a white woman with light brown curly hair that she's zhuzhing in the photo. She has a tattoo of pansies above the crook of her right elbow. She's wearing black jeans and a handmade top, her first sewing project in years! The sleeveless top has a geometric design with sun and moon motifs in pink, orange, black, and cream. Shan showing off the button plackets on the side of her handmade top. The buttons are a black and brown tortoise shell pattern and the buttonholes are only kind of fucked up.

two years ago, i buried myself in cross stitch when my mom received a scary health diagnosis and made this for her to match her christmas decor. i think it was the last big project i made before i hit my creative block? i feel the same urge to create now, but i don't know where to start. #craftsky
A framed square cross stitch of a Christmas village. The houses are red, light blue, and two shades of green, covered in white stitches for snow, and stitched onto a navy Aida cloth.
