Ahhh! There’s nothing like rolling around on your back in a pile of leaves!
Bajkit, our female Przewalski’s horse, recently turned 25 years old! Horses often roll on their backs to scratch themselves, or self-groom, like a natural dust bath.

Debating setting up a shop to sell off some of my crafts, to make a little money and free up some space. Anyone have recommendations about how to price handmade jewelry (glass and semiprecious stones)? I know how to price my illustrations but idk if there's other things to know about jewelry.

Of all the cats I’ve known, i’d vote the orange tabbies most likely to try to force a reluctant coalition of unlikely allies to siege an impregnable city
we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Gets dark early this time of year, so I bought Rocket a light up collar.
But you see, he’s very floofy.

This is an insane thing to do but I'm getting desperate:
My husband is an extremely skilled tier 3 tech support worker with a bachelor's of economics, familiarity with a wide variety of technical systems, and a long employment history in aerospace.
He's been out of work for seven months now.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is my Pyrrhuloxia watercolor, from my experimentation with different watercolor papers. With this piece, I found out that painting of the "wrong" side of cold press paper works better for me!

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Hey, thank you for sharing this and all the stories - it means a lot to me right now because my husband lost his job a few months ago and money is *tight*.

It's time for everyone's favorite chronologically unanchored holiday, The Story of the Lizard in the Leg.
Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:
1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).
