Since I've received some new followers, some introductions may be in order.

Hello. I'm Emmet. I'm a wombat. I'll fix your broken gadgets for a reasonable price. I may or may not use the proceeds from said repairs to fund my research into chrononautics. If you need help, ask the ferret.

"Phishing attempt"

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 21h

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

What the hey, I'll do one for Sully too.

...

Well, definitely not all the time, but definitely sometimes.

Best I can offer is a mule, but you can put his peg leg on his head and pretend.

I am not a "mombat" just because I worry about people.

You see, I have what's known in the medical profession as "shit lungs". So even though I'm well over covid I'm going to be wheezing like a broken down steam engine for the next six months.

I was going to say that it's unfair. I'm technically not in your room if I'm underneath it.

Victor's very first lifetime in the 20th century lasted... a shorter duration than usual.

You see, no one told him to watch out for those newfangled "automobiles".

Artwork by @setrael.bsky.social!

Bust of Victor, a smilodon with white fur and black speckles, looking stunned as a light approaches him.

"Murder and mayhem, lads, murder and mayhem."

If you're this close to Captain Barefang then both are coming your way. Unless you'd like to join his team? There are always new opportunities opening up...

Artwork by @tazzle.art!

Bust of Victor ("Captain Barefang", a shaggy white-furred smilodon with a diabolical grin and two big fangs (one of them broken). He has scars running across his face, a patch over his right eye, the collar of a red coat visible and a brown hat with an albatross feather.

Oh, just as I thought that all the artists had forgotten about me, here come the WIPs (Wombats In Peril)

Wombat For Hire @bosonicvinegar.bsky.social · 21h

I used to say those things all the time until someone informed me that WIP does not stand for Wombat Is Powerful

🦣 The Mastodon giganteus of North America /.
Boston: J. Wilson, 1852..

[Source]

Illustration of the fossilized bones of a Mastodon giganteus foot from the 1852 publication. The detailed black-and-white drawing shows large, rugged bones including the ankle and toe joints, labeled with letters for identification. The bones appear textured with visible surface irregularities, highlighting the massive structure of the extinct prehistoric mammal. The image is set against a plain background with the title "Mastodon Giganteus" below.

Can't sleep. I'm too worked up about literally nothing as there is nothing I'm thinking about working me up. I have all the effects of anxiety but none of the causes.
