Floof pod

Rings in progress! They are intentionally wonky while I solder them. It's easier to get a good flush seam this way, and easy to bend them to round after
Non. Tu ne mange pas.
A very special sparkly. Not sure what I'm going to make with it yet
As we celebrate Labor Day, President Trump is rolling back the rights of federal workers to organize unions and collectively bargain. Eliminating these protections is a violation of workers' free speech rights.
So so much
Oy, Noor Unnahar.. Bloody autocorrect
I picked it up on a whim in a random train station in the Netherlands. It's one of the few non reference books that moves with me
'yesterday I was the moon' by Noor Unnahbar is one of my favorite contemporary books of poetry.
If I get more than 8hrs of sleep, my dreams tend to go off the rails like this
For those who are interested in this space: a friend of mine writes for the Seattle Times and LOVES it. Says it’s a great room and the editors are good people with whom to work.
Smug
Real issue was determined to be not the nuclear blast itself, but that it was activating a previously during fungus that had infested the electrical system, causing it to release toxins
Intense dreams last night. In a spaceship prison that was hit by a nuclear blast. Dying over and over again Groundhog Day style, until I could find some way to prevent it.
I’m not drawing Watto with ‘big naturals’ stop asking.
Wtf no
The winter coat is coming in strong this year
I swear cats can spot a sucker. She came running down the block meowing her head off at me. So of course, I obliged
Random cat friend came screaming up to me for pats. She has a truly remarkable amount of beans
I took up boxing again, and am about to start weight training. Let our rage fuel us to gains
for everyone who thinks democratic nominee gavin newsom is inevitable: andrew cuomo once looked inevitable too
Ahh, I see. Sexy Watto to banish the Orange Beast?
Oy, one day here
Yesssssss
Bloody hell, I'm sorry Susan
Genuinely asking - how the fuck did we get here? I missed like I've day in here and it's suddenly all sexy Watto all the time
How do I get off the 'Sexy Watto' side of the internet? I didn't consent to this
Why is this a thing now? Every time I open bluesky I swear
Dead Cells
All those nightmares, for FREE
This is gonna piss off the biggest losers who had zero intention to play the game
Congrats!
It's a hell of a thing. Soaking as someone who spent some 15yrs+ in and leading community disciplines
To be fair, he might be less of a lightweight than me now
It me
They haven't done shit in decades and they're not about to start
I had a single drink and now I'm wasted, the over 40s tale
Giving Boss cat cereal milk means he now believes he deserves my white Russian
"I accept the note and I don't care" Oh this is great.
Basically all I can think of when I see RFK talk about anything
Heaven forbid anyone at a party ask me about my jewelry, because hot damn do I want to talk about chasing & repousse and metalsmithing in general
Sometimes you can't put historically accurate gear into your game or people would never stop giggling
Yeah, this article pushed me over the line into pre-ordering, which I almost never do as a matter of principle: www.dbltap.com/features/sil...
Silent Hill f is the new game, set in Japan. I was iffy on it due to the initial news around the combat, but what I've seen so far is really intriguing.
I would like Silent Hill f now, please.
Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
"I love when women" "But don't you like the mens?" Lulz
How did I totally miss out on F.I.S.T. until now? Great little Metroidvania so far
The soundtrack is also just so much better than it has any right to be
It me
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Sooo yeah. It's been many years at this point, but fuck giving him any of my $.
Indeed.
And then he spent the next few months trying to make me look bad in front of leadership. Wrote a big email with the top folks cc'd questioning my strategy, etc. It was transparent enough that my boss at the time asked if he should handle it with him, because it was so out of line.
This is the dude who referred to our upcoming beta as 'the drop on the end of the dick, you know, before the full load'. I called him out on it in the meeting. I didn't take it to HR or make a big deal out of it, but I made it clear it wasn't appropriate.
Annoyed by one of the top-rated courses for this software I want to learn is taught by a guy I cannot support. MEH.
Life is good
Welcome
Catra so smoov
The over 30s story. I pulled a leg muscle picking up my water bottle 😆
Somehow I've become a cradle (he begs for this and is purring away the whole time)
And yeah, in his case his dad had to get it first, then him.
I'm not, but my partner is by descent! And thankfully it's one of the countries that makes it easy for the house to get it too
Also the BMI is garbage, so you could get 'obese' by getting totally ripped
Oh yeah, so much of that. It was very taking how many people I had considered friends that dropped me like a sack of wet shit after the layoff
You were wise. 20 years in and I've never seen it this relentlessly bad for workers.
For how many years now?
I'm fortunate that my hobby is still basically using the tools that were around in 500 BC, because fuck all of that.
Checks out of the game industry I mean, but yeah also LinkedIn
Every bloody day on LinkedIn is just another graveyard for the game industry. I don't blame anyone who just checks out of it entirely at this point.
Another thing about k pop demon hunters: if you make and market media directly for young women you will make insane money. But these things are only funded once in a blue moon &when they are a lot of old men in suits act surprised and then they will go back to funding something for men again
It's his otter time
Nobody puts Stella in marshmallow corner. In all seriousness, good poem.
Every fucking time. It just repeats itself every decade or so and it's some big 'revelation' every time
How dare he
Better than 95% of what's on Netflix currently. Except KPop Demon Hunters.
"What if I told you I had an 8-inch tongue and can breathe through my ears?" is my big winner. From some random guy on the streets of Portland.
And no, I can't just ignore him until he goes away. He body slams my legs with all 15lbs+ of himself for well over 15mins until I eventually cave. This also escalates to poking my butt and/or tapping me on the shoulder. It's easier to just give him a few minutes of this than deal with his WANT.
I think a cat isn't a cat unless they're at least partially a menace. Comes with the territory. Thankfully his has gone from 'randomly mauling your feet' to 'persistently asking for hugs'. I can deal.
He is a menace, but he is also very cute, so it balances out
The biggest of fluffy bebes
Very recently this has become a daily thing. Sir, please
....whyyyyy
'We don't want to waste your time' *proceeds to have a 6 month hiring process*
We're looking at our options on where to go next, and it pays to have multiple routes. UK isn't out of the question, and has some benefits
Y'all need any community marketing, support, influencer, Jack of all trades types? Asking for a me 😆
Maltese citizenship opens up the entire EU for us, which is exciting
If it all lines up, I'll get my British and Maltese citizenships at roughly the same time.
One step closer to Maltese citizenship! ✨
i love this giant weirdo
Oh no I looked at him. An escalation is in effect
I need to get up, but he's on my foot so I guess I just starve now
Maybe, just maybe, we could shoot for higher than yet another middle-aged white dude with shitty views on trans people. Dare to dream.
It is the law
