i don't think anyone on here will care but lately I have entertained myself by making some cross-stitch patterns of some world heritage posts, and i can share them with you if you are interested.
it's a tweet from @dril. it reads "IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL" it's a cross-stitch pattern of the above @dril tweet. there's text that says "IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL" surrounded by a square border. at the top of the border, things are blue and green, with clouds and sunlight, but the colors shift along the sides, getting darker, until, at the bottom, there is darkness and flames. it's pretty silly tbh. it's a post from tumblr user boycritter that reads "this sucks so bad i need to [remembers that suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen" it's a cross stitch pattern of the aforementioned tumblr post. it has teh text "this sucks so bad i need to [remembers that suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen" surrounded by a floral border with yellow and red flowers, plus greenery. the bracketed text is in red, and the phrase "best talent show" is in yellow, while the rest of the text is blue.

you can’t sit with them (because there’s no more room on this tiny shelf where they insist on hanging out)
it’s my two black cats, Harrowhark and Gideon, sitting side-by-side. they have yellow eyes and they are looking at the camera with cool, mean-girl-esque expressions. in front of them there are some tool kits and hardware stuff, because they’re sitting together on a bathroom shelf that was originally used for storing that sort of thing instead of, y’know, cats.

I can’t say whether being being on tumblr for so many years has been a net positive or negative in my life overall, but it did bring me this post that I think about every single day, and that’s something.

just an update: it’s kind of rainy so we took a nap
my doofus black cat, Gideon, lying on her back on some grey blankets with her front paws outstretched over her head, kinda like she’s throwing her hands in the air like she just don’t care. my hand, in contrast, is resting on her chest. I’m wearing silver rings on my middle finger and thumb.

based on a true story
image of a very good text post I made, which reads as follows: “me, emerging from the shower with an idea for a scene for my story: I have passed through the lands beyond and have been reborn in the waters! I see all things with clarity now and nothing can be hidden from my sight. I am one with the unity of the Great Story of Mankind, sung down the ages by scop and skald, griot and gusan, bhāt and bard, gorsedd and troubadour. I am the Storyteller of the Age [I pull out my phone and write “the characters make out sloppy-style” in my notes app]”

kinda hate opening this app right now because every piece of news makes me want to vibrate out of my own skin, but I think it’s really important that you see this picture of my cat’s tummy fluff
it’s my black cat, Gideon. she’s curled up in a small cat tree, with her tummy partly exposed. because she’s a black cat it’s kind of hard to make out anything *except* that’s she’s fluffy. I love her so much.

ngl every time you guys post something about the Eagles I am thinking of these guys
it’s a pic of the band the Eagles from the 70s. they all are making some Hair Choices, and several of them are making Facial Hair Choices. also they all look kinda bored in this photo.

Steam, I played a tiny amount of Dwarf Fortress at the beginning of the year, what other games are you categorizing as “dwarf”???
A radar chart of what Steam claims are my top-played categories of games for the year. “Dungeons & Dragons,” “CRPG,” and “LGBTQ+” are all very high, whereas “Solitaire,” “Roguelike Deckbuilder,” and “Dwarf” are all fairly low.

how am I supposed to work under these conditions. literally. I’m right-handed. (do not suggest moving my hand, I will not be moving my hand)
Gideon, my doofus black cat, asleep very sweetly next to me in a blanket but also (more importantly, in this case) my right hand. it took so long to type this

she thought the bag of coffee I was opening sounded like it just might possibly be treats
gideon, a black cat with big, pale yellow eyes, sits on a beige-ish, kind of ugly tile floor. she stares up attentively, tail stuck out directly behind her, eyes fixed directly on the camera. my black skirt is visible at the bottom of the square frame of the photo.

finally read the Roland Barthes essay on wrestling, as many people have mentioned it to me in the past, and it is interesting, but I DO have a question about it, which is: what is a “bastard-octopus.” can you give me the rest of the bastard-variety rankings, my man
a selection from Roland Barthes’s “The World of Wrestling,” the relevant portion of which reads: “I can trust him to carry out intelligently and to the last detail all the gestures of an amorphous baseless, and thus fill to the brim the image of the most repugnant bastard there is: the bastard-octopus.” like seriously. is that an idiom in French or something??

currently using all my restraint to prevent myself from posting extensively about professional wrestling. instead, please enjoy these pictures of Gideon
two super-cute pictures of my black cat Gideon in a coquettish pose, lying belly-up on my bed and gazing playfully at the camera

I want what she has (no job, primordial pouch)
my back cat Gideon all splayed out and lazy and fluffy, napping on the sofa with pillows around her and her arms sticking out in front of her

Gideon wants YOU

to lie on the sofa at lunchtime with a fuzzy blanket so she can be cozy on top of you
a photo of gideon, my yellow-eyed black cat, lying with her paw stretched out towards the camera, and staring into the middle distance. she looks a bit like a propaganda poster.

a cool* Halloween couple's costume idea: a certain cleric and Aelfgyva

if you have a dog you can dress him up as the nude man in the margins!

Really enjoying the World of Horror 1.0 release. So glad to be back with my girl Ayaka, my game-breaking, deeply cursed beloved

I woke Gideon up from a peaceful nap (on the cat tree) so that she would come nap with me instead, and it was a good decision.

real Roast Beef hours this week
it's a panel from the webcomic achewood, where a cat named roast beef is lying alone in the dark and thinking "oh no it's today"

it’s a bowl of the bomb-ass ratatouille that I made. it’s got vegetables for fuckin’ DAYS
