Got my lip pierced two and a half weeks ago; going this weekend to get another so I have a spider bite.

Mom still hasn't said anything. Either her eyesight is worse than I thought or she's trying to wait me out. 😆
A picture of me, slightly askew. You can see my eyebrow piercing in it, as well as my brand new lower-lip piercing (on my right but the picture's left).

I am trying to explain to them that I need to go to work and cannot call out because I’m unable to move. They seem unimpressed.
A photo of my bed. I am under the covers. On top of the covers are two cats, unmoving.

Happy Black Cat Day from Maya, MB, and Lamont!
A lap with a tray over it. There is a black cat peeking out from under the tray, another black cat on the person's knees, and a third black cat on their feet.

Having fun at @neorsd.org’s Clean Water Fest!
Me, smiling, with face paint and a sun hat, standing next to an anthropomorphic water drop.

New computer day!

Who in GOD'S GREEN EARTH thought this was an acceptable way to label keys?
A picture of my number keys. The numbers are on the top and the symbols on the bottom, like an abomination.

Post your first cell phone.

Heck yeah, Pride!

Being out feels so fucking scary these days. That's why those of us who can, have to do it. (And why I cast no shade at those who can't.)

This is the face of a cat who is TOTALLY BETRAYED by not being able to sit in his favorite spot on my neck.

FTR, having your throat cut, even a little, is not fun.

Ow.
A close up of my throat, which is bandaged, bruised, and unfun looking.

Welp. Took the s off the http and tried again. Guess what? Figured it out. Though whether them blocking you is an issue (idiots), you can decide.

Heh. That's okay, I'm in a hospital coming off anesthesia, so the chances of this being user error are high, except I know friends were having other issues. Edge, Win 11.

I call this look, “ I’m not on the counter, Ma!”
My cat Gabriel watches me make breakfast. He is sitting on the passthrough between the kitchen and dining room. He is emphatically Not on the counter or dining room table, though he can’t have gotten there without going over one of them.

I know that feeling! (Don’t let Gabriel’s face fool you; he’s the interloper who LURVES his brother!)

LOL Already done, with timeline synchrony!
A picture of my timeline. At the bottom is the tweet this is a reply to (If you see this, post a vampire). Above it is a tweet with a screenshot of David from the Lost Boys, and above that is a tweet with a screenshot of Lestat from Interview with the Vampire (the Tom Cruise one).

Got my awesome #TMA #RPG props! (I have Jon and Martin's business cards! :D )
A picture of some of the physical props from the Magnus Archives RPG. They include Jonathan Sims' and Martin Blackwood's business cards and Magnus Institute stationery, all with the institute's owl logo on them; a blank billing slip for Breekon & Hope deliveries, several newspaper clippings about missing people and weird sightings; a pamphlet for the Church of the Divine Host that reads on the front, "Lost in the dark?" with a drawing of a closed eye; and a flier for a war reenactment.
