It's National Hammock Day and I still don't have a job, so of course I'm at the beach indulging in my new favorite summer activity.

Looking down the length of a hammock with my feet visible. The visible end of the hammock is attached to a tree. In the background is sand, blue sky, and more green trees with dappled sunlight shining through.

A zonked out black dog's head rests on my leg with my hand petting his head. His eyes are closed and he looks blissed out.

Important pupdate
A medium small black dog (Bast), his head in frame, cutely laying on a green blanket. One paw is up near his face and it just melts my heart.

The fun of following @rahaeli.bsky.social is you never know how many messages there will be when you click that link, but it's always fascinating to read them regardless

I wanted to reply with a salute emoji, went to find something amusing to fit the theme and found this cursed invertebrate - 🫡+🐌

This was another Kickstarter haul. They click clack better, but the colors didn't come out nearly as well as they had intended.
Several sets of dice in a 250 ml glass beaker A close up of about 7 dice sets in various colors (mostly leaning green) laid out next to post-it notes with the names of the sets A zoomed out shot of all the dice sets from the same haul, about 30 sets in total, sorted by color, with the set names next to them on post-it notes.

Um, dude.... I'm a dice goblin with a tech salary...

Dice kickstarters are dangerous.

This is the most I ever spent on dice, and gosh I really should have taken better pictures
A bunch of colorful sharp edged resin dice grouped in sets sitting on post-it notes with the names of the sets. More of the same dice Yet more of the same dice.

Do you want to play?
Bast, a medium small black dog half sits at attention looking at the camera. He's tensed like he's ready to run off to chase a ball at any second. One ear stands at attention, the other is half flopped over. One front foot is placed on my big toe, like he's just used that to get my attention.

I should get out of bed and have breakfast but this bean has been cuddled up against me for like an hour after uncharacteristically settling after he got breakfast

A comet? At this time of year? In this part of the country? Localized to my back yard?

It's more likely than you think.

Look at this stinker (literal) who got sprayed by a skunk yesterday and is currently quarantined to the kitchen without any porous surfaces
A medium small black dog lays on a dog bed and blanket on a kitchen floor in front of cabinets and an oven. A cow shaped dog toy sits on the floor next to him. You can't see it, but his forehead and muzzle stink. Because of the skunk. That he would not leave alone.

Found it pretty easily from a Facebook post
