Trick of the light
@trickofthelight.bsky.social
Former epidemiologist, writer, gamer, knitter and obsessed with my dog. Lots of TTRPGs. I like to make people sad over fictional characters for fun. 41, lesbian/kinky, disastrous, she/her.
He is a method actor who does truly Oscar level work.

Behold what happens on the rare occasion I catch him behaving with joyful exuberance. I have to pretend I'm not filming and he still keeps stopping to check and make sure I haven't noticed.

He is glad someone appreciates his difficult life.

Why, just last week I made him wait like four minutes to eat his pup cup from the coffee place so that I could drive home without crashing the damn car.

This is what I was dealing with this morning when I was eating my Alpo (vanilla yogurt with granola and blueberries)

Dug out the yarn I got for it and started my second Wingspan shawl. Not entirely sure this is a good pattern/yarn match so we'll see how I feel after I get into it enough to really see what it'll look like.

People seemed to like that, and I liked it too because I could look back at it.

Anyway, here's what I just finished!

Allow me to share my ridiculous creature.

Darwin decided he needed to be touching me, but also in his bed at the same time.

Finished seaming and weaving in ends tonight. Then it needs a block it's good to go. :)

A little annoyed that one of the skein transitions is noticeable, but it's not with just my eyeballs so I think it's the lighting and the angle. #knitting

Darwin would like everyone to believe he is also having a bad morning because I left him in his crate, but the door is open and he could come out any time he wanted:

Darwin will wake up long enough to give the misbehaving legal system some serious side eye.

She was, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful cats I've ever encountered.

But that alone is not a good reason to have a longhair if you're not fully prepared to do the maintenance.

Darwin's hyperfixation is bacon. He knows what drive thru has the bacon.

This is clearly my fault for vaccinating him, if I hadn't he surely would not live for bacon.

w/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

It is possible we have the same dog, I've decided.
August 24, 2025 at 3:55 AM
We do this at my house too.

How are dogs so good?

I'm sorry you're dealing with it in a situation where you can't just wait for a text back and instead are forced to wait out the brain state.

Here's a few cute pictures of Darwin:
