It is with a heavy heart that I must share the sad news: Carisma died on evening of 3rd of December, 2025.
Carisma, showing her gentle, caring mommykitty side. She is protectively curled against her kitten, both blissed out and asleep.

It has been __zero (0)__ days since Mort has dorkulated.

Black and brown marble-patterned cat is staring thru a home-made screen door. It wouldn't be so unusual, but she is climbing the door with a goal of perching on top of another door. Her expression says "What." Black and brown marble-patterned cat is dangling on a home-made screen door. She hangs on by one paw, while the other forepaw wisps in the air. Her leggypaws show pale claws desperately clinging to the mesh. Uh oh. Black and brown marble-patterned cat is still clinging to a home-made screen door. She has doubts about this course in life. Her hindpaw shows the claws very prominently, propped on supporting horizontal paw.

Found the post I made about it...
Screencap from my former Twitter account: Kitten: OHAI, I SEE YOU HAVE FOOD FOR ME! Me: No! That's red Thai curry! Paws off! Kitten: But... whyyyy? Kitten: NOT FAIIIRRRR I'll stick my head and paw into your bowl super-quick ruh-roh [String of emojis going from pleased to sweary to head 'splodo] Kitten: THIS IS NOT KITTEN FOOD OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU KEEP ME AWAY FROM IT!?

Central Finland, Finnish: both "miau" and "mau" have been used.

Someone needs to tell my Bengal cat Carisma, since the sounds she makes are more like KRÄÄÄÄHHHHHH RIEKS RÄÄÄH.

Or her kid, Mort, who goes "piip ääähhh piip".

Lobsang sounds like a pigeon with her "kurrrr purr mäh mäh" noises.
Three Bengal cats, two brown-rosette and black-brown marbled, sitting on kitchen counter, sink and stove. Leftmost is Lobsang, in the middle is Mort and to the right, Carisma. Carisma is the mother of two other girls (despite their names). All cats seem surprised that they are being photographed. Mort, black-brown marbled Bengal cat, is having well-earned rest and is blissfully asleep. Carisma, brown-rosette Bengal cat, is giving her intense "what are YOU looking at" stare at the phone camera. She's ticked off!

Yeah. It really is hard to make people understand what kind of difference length of day makes here. I use Gaisma's daylight chart to illustrate it, it usually helps. But even then there's architecture and everything.

As an example...
Gaisma's sunlight graph for Dallas, Texas. Short sunrise, sunset, fairly even thick blob of sunlight, with actual nighttime. Gaisma's sunlight chart for Jyväskylä, Finland. Sunrise and sunset are an hour-long productions both ways, there's a massive bulge of direct sunlight in the summer, practically none in winter and no true night around midsummer.

Local university's weather station agrees.

That was so bad take that the quoted post was deleted by the time I opened the quoting post, which was pretty fast! But hey, here's the screencap of it from my main feed!
Brandon Friendman has a massive brainfart and his post is being quoted: If AI can be used by degenerates to undress women, then it can be used by regular people to unmask ICE agents. The Questionable Authority replies in a post quoting Friedman: NO. DO NOT DO THIS. THIS IS VERY DUMB. How many innocent people do you want to accidentally call "ICE agents" because AI made shit up again. Note: About 15 minutes after posting, Friedman deletes the post.

Yeah, don't take my idea too seriously; it always *could* be something like that there was some dude who was either well-liked or who was the Boss, with not-so-huge D, who declared that this is what ideal cock should look like. It even could have been an ironic meme and just stuck like a bad fart.

He, of course, had the strength to haul it out of the maze, the rest of us were weaker. IIRC we used Ral Partha's "Zoid the Pinhead Barbarian" as his miniature. (Not painted by me, I need to look up where's my version of this one.)
Ral Partha's Zoid the Pinhead Barbarian miniature, which depicts a BEEFCAKE! barbarian in loincloth, with HUGE muscles and very little head. Very, very Ahnold-like.

I JUST CAUGHT THAT LITTLE SHIT IN ACTION.

Lobsang, a slender ninja-princess brown-rosette Bengal cat, is loitering on top of a desktop-cum-server, basking her tummy with warms emanating from the top vents. Her head was pressed on the keyboard, resulting... A monitor screen showing repeated nonsense keyboard presses at login prompt.

Since Lobsang can no longer crash the server with ease, she's trying to log in from console.

A snippet from Linux's daily Logwatch, which shows weird alphanumerical strings as Lobsang has loitered on keyboard and thus attempted to log in from console.

So I made a lil' hack, an ancient balsa wood cigarillo box gave its life for this.
A light brown balsa wood cigarillo box has its bottom carved out and then attached on top of a desktop computer, so it protects the power button from being pressed.

Look at this silly, innocent face.

Don't be fooled, this kitty is a menace!

She has shut down my Linux server *twice* this week.

Mort would like you to explain to her how this Kenwood multifunctional device works, so she can cook something delicious.

#BengalCat #cat #CatsOfBluesky
Mort, black and tan marble-patterned Bengal sits on top of silvery Kenwood multifunctional kitchen device. She looks slightly puzzled, but quite pleased about being at most accessible high point in the living room.

So how did it turn out?

Very good! (Needed to be tiny bit more moist, but next time!)

And the game was great fun too.
The cake is served! Previously plain golden cake is coated with very very dark chocolate sauce (there's some separately in a bowl next to it) and it looks like a black hole on a white ceramic plate. Rainbow-striped cardboard plates are around it, spoons ready, plus other party snacks and gaming goodies on a square-gridded table. Close-up of a slice on a cardboard plate: the cake is very orange (as it should, since it has carrots in it), with a load of dark chocolate sauce dripping over in heavy stripes. A bottle of pineapple juice is next to it, with a set of D&D dice at the background.

I can't be 100% certain, there *might* have been a game I tried on Vic-20, but on C-64, this one was pretty much on top of games I remember.
The wacky cover of The Great Giana Sisters game for C-64. A blonde woman with red shirt and blue skirt is making a very very very Mario-like jumping pose in a landscape full of various monsters, like mushrooms.

Baked a Brazilian carrot cake! Tomorrow it will get a dark chocolate dressing, and we're having a birthday party for two of my friends while we game D&D.

Recipe here, if you're curious. www.thekitchn.com/bolo-de-ceno...

Perfectly golden cake rests on light blue grille. It has some scraps of flour from the cake pan, but it looks perfect. It smells absolutely divine, too.

She showed them the hotel address, and she was so clearly lost. So couple of going-off-duty police men drove her to the hotel, way before the tourist group (now in mild panic over losing her) arrived. She had an ADVENTURE! and it was so interesting. RIP grandma, you really knew how to do it.
A picture of my grandmother Irja, a lightly wrinkled face with wrinkles enhancing the way she smiles; her pale blue eyes gleam with a touch of mischief and love. Her light brown gently curvy hair is showing touches of grey. She has pleasant softness to her appearance and she is one of the "ideal grandma" types -- no wonder that people (and cats) loved her so easily.

I think this nails it.

But you keep hearing a synthetic BAWWW every time it hits you as a constant reminder of how it's the stupidest possible way to die.

Nonetheless, if this does not terrify you, I can give some tips about coming over here, but right now I'm sorry to say that this is no longer the best deal (sword or not) this country can offer. We're still gorgeous in landscapes and fairly clean in nature, tho.
Meme from winter 2010-2011, when snowfall went past the usual limits: A short-haired guy sits in a garden swing, wearing a white tanktop. He has a mug in his hand, and he's looking contemplatelively chill. Around him are massive walls of snow, taller than the wooden swing, and the only reason he's sitting there is because someone has carved snow away from the swing area. The meme text says "Meanwhile, in Finland". This is a friend of a friend, which says how small the population of the country can be.

@tkingfisher.com Virpi is sharing some aurora pics from last night with you! This is from her countryside family place you visited!
Slightly blurry due to darkness, but still visible green-glow auroras stretching across the sky in snowy landscape. A lone building is lit, while trees are nothing but dark shadows, with auroras glowing at the background. Picture taken slightly past midnight, 9th of March 2025 in Central Finland area.
