I'm one who can't be placed in a box. I write stuff; I draw stuff. Music is my air. I'm tattooed, 🥰 cats, watch/read BL, crochet, & drink way too much coffee. I'm an extremely introverted ND GenX person, so posts will be intermittent.

Happy #Caturday!
I'm not nearly clever enough to caption this silly cat of mine. ><

Photo of my calico cat, Mango, in a very silly position on her back glaring at her hind foot and reaching out for it.

My husband and I own an LLC and our ACA insurance is already $1300. If it goes up any more, we're screwed. We're both in our 50s and are of the age where we really need the insurance, though we're both in decent health. To say "I'm scared" is a huge understatement. (did NOT vote for Trump)

Happy #Caturday (and #NOKings day) from Kiwi.

Photo of Kiwi, a dark calico cat, looking upward slightly to the side, almost wistfully. Actually, she thought she saw a bug. haha

So if one state sends troops to another state where they aren't wanted, is this civil war?

Lyra is in the boss chair today for #Caturday.

As I said two days ago: I'm still not resubbing. They showed they only care about the bottom line not what's right.

Honestly, I don't care if Disney/ABC/whatever decides to reinstate Kimmel. They already showed who they are... I won't resub.

Also, I really really don't want to live in this timeline anymore. :(

So:

Fascism is bad
The First Amendment is good
Genocide is an actual fucking crime

And also:

It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

I should mention that I'm not affiliated with the shop at all. I just really like that pattern. :)

wl552 @wl552.bsky.social · Sep 21

Thanks! She's even got her own theme song that I made up for her. haha

wl552 @wl552.bsky.social · Sep 21

Thanks! Her name at the shelter was Diamond. 😬Clover suits her personality much better. :)

wl552 @wl552.bsky.social · Sep 21

Pretty much. lol :)

For a different sort of #Caturday, I just finished this little cutie up this afternoon. :) You can get the pattern "Tofu" here: hookedontoast.shop

Happy #Caturday from Clover.

Welp. I had the "Disney+, Hulu, Max Bundle (No Ads)" plan. I really hate this but I, and my family, have principles.

I just received my signed copy of _The Shattering Peace_. I had to wonder if this was one of the first signed when you were fresh or toward the end of the 1100 books. 😆 Very happy to have this for sure.

Funny how “political violence is unacceptable” is only said when it happens to the powerful🙄 charlie kirk said Palestinians don’t exist & that r@ped little girls should be forced to give birth. The state enacts violence on marginalized ppl every fcking day so maybe keep your outrage where it belongs

Magee, is our one & only farm cat. He just showed up shortly after we moved in. He was already eartipped (neutered). It took all of 2 days for him to trust me & he's been with us for 6 years now. He is a really good cat; I'm happy he chose us. This is him "helping" us work today. :) #Catsofbluesky

Worked up the last #doily (for now) last night. Got it up on the felt board this morning. I could squeeze in a couple more, but I think it looks okay for now. :) #crochet

Next two small doilies finished last night. :)

I feel so badly! I forgot the alt text. The first photo is a gray doily that'd I've pinned. The next one is a close up of the afghan stitch pattern (5DC, puff CL). Yarn is Hobbii Tea Time in color 06 (Pu-Erh). Last photo is the entire blanket - a bit smaller than twin size, I'm guessing.
