There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

"The One With The Whales," fer cryin' out loud!
It always makes me scratch my head that they think you’re only a fan of a show if you know the episode names. I mean, I can see how that would be useful, but I retain none of that info because that's not why I get interested in the stuff I watch. Why does anyone care if someone else remembers?

We don’t have a great view of the sunset from here, but sometimes the sky just DOES this in the evenings and it’s almost annoying what a perfect gradient it makes.

Once again I am hindering my feed-friendliness by posting a bookmark-shaped bookshelf, but here’s the thing: I wanted to paint a bookshelf bookmark, so I did. Guest starring a very special lil terrarium, and a reading ruru enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Sorry, to clarify:
a) this was the last episode of the season, not the whole show
and
b) it is not a “it was all a dream“ episode. Non-ironically a regular theme of the show is “Xena and Gabrielle reincarnate as each other’s soulmates throughout time”.

Sorry, I had forgotten that actually the final episode of the series isn’t the big arc coming to a conclusion, it is “A woman in the 90s wakes up convinced that she was Xena in a previous life”. Incredible show.

Oh my. This just came into force on Friday in the EU

Now in the EU a company that makes a product which calls home (like a fucking fridge or oven—fuck you Samsung) must provide the data to you if you ask for it FOR FREE and in real time

Repair shops apparently also benefit

This lil kiwi’s all set to go off adventuring! Ready to solve puzzles and do magic and maybe learn how to correctly hold a sword when you don’t have opposable thumbs or hands or arms.

They're also going to be a sticker in my September update, dropping at the top of next week!

Time to bust out the warm autumnal watercolour palettes and paint a cliché but beloved Bird-On-Books motif. The bird is a jackdaw because I love them!
This painting is being made into a print that will be part of my cool September Update that’s dropping in a couple of days!
