My Nienna was very lucky-she found a spot with a rescue that didn’t mind keeping her for over a year. They were genuinely shocked when I inquired about her. She’s wobbly and deaf and absolutely perfect.

Excellent article, with many good points…but I find it hilarious that she focuses specifically on the rabbit eyeliner…

(Several breeds have similar markings, but these are all hotots because that’s the one I could remember.)
A white rabbit with flawless black eyeliner and lashes that I am definitely not jealous of at all, giving a puppyish, quizzical head-tilt at the camera. A close up of a white rabbits’s face. The bun has dark eyes with slightly wing-tipped kohl markings. Her face is extremely round and she has short little ears sticking straight up. A shy looking white bunny with wingtiped eyeliner and spotted black and white ears snuggled up to a cuddle puddle of out of focus but similar buns A white bunny with extremely goth eyeliner and blue eyes looking like she’s about to take the camera down. Presumably for denying her her rightful bananas.

No, they’re just extremely limited edition
A small grey cat wearing a cute little blue bow collar and laying on a vaguely occult box. She has very alert ears (she’s actually totally deaf…)

I dearly want a hognose, and there is no way I would be able to resist awarding such a precious noodle its own Oscar.

But also I only have one tank and it is currently full of this little stink-eye generator. Who is mad because his Sunday worm is late.
A box turtle hiding under a half-circle log and glaring at the camera. Or at the world in general, it’s hard to tell.

She actually adores the dogs (and they her), she just can’t hang out with them without an escort/interpreter, because they do not speak cat, she does not speak dog, they are large and without chill, and she does not get out of the way of anything.
A medium sized black dog and a small grey cat nuzzling at each other. (Sadly, this picture cannot depict the extremely loud purrs involved) The same two, but the cat is trying very hard to entice the dog to groom her ears, and the dog is sniffing away, oblivious. (The purrs did not stop) A medium black dog laying next to the large red dog who taught her everything she knows (and many more things she immediately forgot) about being a dog. He is resting his head on her head. The medium black dog laying down and being a very good puppy even though her favorite cat is under a chair just a few feet way. You can see the struggle in her ears. (The cat is entirely oblivious)

High-cha, HIGH-dex, good int and con, wis is the dump stat (her perception bonus is in the negative).

She’s got the over dramatic backstory for either Warlock or Rogue, but her stealth skill is similarly negative.

I should probably find out who her patron is…

She is fully at attention, although why is a mystery, as she is both blind and deaf. A small grey cat lying on her back with one ear squished under her head and one little toof barely showing. She looks extremely undignified, and her belly fur is very enticing and not a trap. I did say she had high CHA.

This one didn’t feel like sitting still for International Cat Day, so I’m just renewing my #proofofcat a day late.

With late fee proof of dog.

She has quite impressive whiskers at this angle. A mostly-black puppy who has clearly fallen asleep mid-chew with her favorite toy A reddish dog looking stoned out of his gourd. Mostly because he is, in fact, stoned out of his gourd. (On anxiety medication)

So it’s his personal fault that there’s all this new LotR stuff out and people still don’t understand why I named my cat Nienna? Good to know.

(Cat included)
A small grey cat laying stretched out on a chenille blanket that I was crocheting before the picture was taken. She is extremely comfy.

My cat needs the loopy juice at the vet too. She spends the rest of the day rediscovering assorted appendages.

She also gets really disoriented, so I have to take time from work to be her sober buddy until she sleeps it off.
A grey cat in a turquoise collar is laying on her back with one ear all squished. She’s not actually high in this picture, just undignified. The same grey cat, from another angle. The beans on her back paw are just peeking out from behind her fluffy tail. The same grey cat sleeping funny at a different time, with one of her front paws sticking straight up and her teeth just visible under her lip.

I don’t think I’ve re-upped my #proofofcat in a while, so here’s Nienna, with a joke that at least someone should get.
A small grey cat with a little bow collar is sleeping curled up. In front of the cat is an open-source handheld game made to resemble a game boy, with the screen showing listings for five different versions of Ballon Fight. For some reason.

Books with pre-2023 copyright dates is my preferred filter too, unfortunately…
A colorful book on a blue background. The title of the book is The Happy Hooker, written in very large letters. There are several crochet hooks of various sizes resting on the book, slightly obscuring the author’s name-Debbie Stoller. (The poster of this photo does knit, just not in the round or with fancy shape work.)

Not a lot of lilacs where I live, but whatever these are, they’re purple and they bloom in May. I’ll have to boil an egg later.
Part of a Caucasian woman’s face, showing a small cluster of purple flowers above her ear, held in place with a daisy hair pin. The flowers look slightly battered as she has been wearing them for three hours, despite having no clue what kind of flower they are.

Cont.
We learned enough from the messages of the emissaries to stare at the nearest god and hardly flinch, enough to count the numberless gods, and to count the distance between them and us. Enough to recognize the hunger of the devouring darkness. Enough to touch the endless void ourselves. It was not enough. We built another emissary. This one so much larger and more powerful than any before it that we feared to turn it on, lest it fight like all the others. But this one did not fight, and we have seen its message now. It is stranger than the others, cryptic and contradictory. This will not stop us. We will interpret it, learn it. We will build another emissary. And another.

I wrote a thing, a sorta-lovecraftian micro fiction, and I’m actually kinda proud of it, so here it is:
Burning Gods and Emissaries Long before history became history, there were machine-emissaries built by man to hear the messages of the elder gods that burn against the endless void, and of the infinite devouring darkness that gathers their light. The first emissaries we stole from nature. They came to us, they hurt us, but we were not deterred. They showed us their might, their destructive power, but we were not deterred. We trapped the emissaries, tamed them, and took their messages for our own. We used those messages to build even greater emissaries and these emissaries also fought back, but we would not be deterred and so we learned their messages. And so on, and on, down the years. The emissaries would be sometimes built and sometimes summoned and they would fight and they would fall. Some emissaries become as much a part of us as our own limbs. Some emissaries are buried deep beneath the earth, in never-visited graveyards. We take the messages even from their ghosts.

My puppy gave me an ear infection that is trying to kill me and I had to block my best friend. But also it is Bird Jewelry Second Christmas so this is a great week!

(I’m actually planning to turn most of the earrings into a charm bracelet!)

@foxfeather.bsky.social -they’re so, so pretty!

This is Daisy. I had to do several double-takes.
A black and white dog, sitting proudly wearing a little bow. She is eerily identical to the dog in the previous post.

We’ve sent Milo’s DNA off twice, to two different companies. They’re both pretty sure he’s a dog.

Also he understands English.
A reddish dog lying on a hardwood floor. Only his head is in focus. He is gazing at something to the left of the camera and has a white bow tied to his collar. A reddish dog laying sprawled on a grey-green carpet. He has an orange chew toy and he is going to town on it. A reddish dog laying on a plush bed surrounded by toys. He is giving a sad, begging look to camera while licking his nose.

Good luck, and would you like a distracting turtle? He doesn’t like anything very much, but he’s willing to hate ignorant doctors extra.

A box turtle sitting on a salad he has removed from a dish and spread about his terrarium. He still seems angry about the camera.

Think you could make these as dog tags? Because…
A small black dog laying on a green duvet and refusing to look anywhere near the camera. Her tag is visible and says her name is Daisy. She is trying not to be a dumbass, but she is also very baby.

This is Nienna. She is Helping. Maybe if she helps you, she’ll stop Helping me with my crochet…
A small grey cat with eyes cloudy from cataracts, is loafing helpfully on a purple Halloween box that contains the crochet project I’m trying to work on and squinting at the camera. The same small grey cat is napping on my crochet project, now outside the box. She is very deeply asleep and it is definitely illegal to move her off so I can crochet. The grey cat again, also sleeping on the same crochet project, but this time more of the project is visible under the cat. Maybe I can slide it out without waking her? (Spoilers: I could not)

Nienna has to be sedated for most vet things (she has Opinions), and when she gets home she is always astonished to discover that she has ears! And a tail!

Adds some entertainment value to having to take the whole afternoon off to supervise my cat… (she also panics and needs comforting)

Here’s Daisy. She’s 7 months old and mostly trouble. Shown: about to cause trouble, discovering the cat, keeping watch, and napping with her brother.
A black puppy laying sprawled on a bed. She has two little white toes and alert ears. A black puppy with a white blaze on her chest staring very alert at a grey cat. The cat is on a chair and completely ignoring the puppy. A black puppy from behind, staring out a tiny spot of clear glass in a stained glass window near a door. A black puppy squeezing onto a dog bed to sleep next to a larger red dog, also asleep. Both dogs are labeled “puppy” because I forgot to save the unaltered picture.
