Happy #Caturday from Pansy, who is enjoying her full-body-sized heated cat bed while the servant class (aka humans) have to get up and shovel snow.

The fact these two unrelated posts ended up adjacent in my feed is truly a beautiful thing. 🤣 #swords

Fort Edmonton Christmas Market last night was beautiful in the snow. Gorgeous old trolley train running loops. Delicious pulled pork bao from FlipSide food truck. Pro tip: skip the line at the hot chocolate stand and get the delicious Mexican hot chocolate from the churro stand! #YEG #YEGxmasmkt

Two boobs on females from cat races. Seriously what?? Either go none, or six. Only GW2 seems sane here. The character artists at Bless may need to go have a cold shower. 🤔

I was slightly boggled to discover someone has made a musical out of the #VinylCafe stories - and, judging from the song list in the program, specifically the “Dave Cooks the Turkey” episode - but yes they have, and we are about to find out how this has turned out… 😃

My #CarnivorousPlant army is still hard at work: these little sundews (Drosera capensis) are currently working overtime destroying all the annoying little gnats that came along for the ride when we brought some herbs indoors for the winter! Truly the heroes we need.

Dear Loblaws,
$17.99+tax for a 150g chocolate bar is “LOW PRICE”? 💸
I do not think that means what you think that means. 🧐

A player-placed sign I found in-game in #SpiritCrossing on #WorldKindnessDay ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Feels like a cozy multiplayer game meets Kind Words?

(Download the alpha at www.playSpiritCrossing.com and sign in with your Netflix account if you wanna see us in development!)

Enjoying quite the light show in Edmonton tonight! #YEG #NorthernLights

Grabbed a screenshot of the new in-game title sequence as I ride a fluffalo past some sky whales while bringing a weird blobby spirit thing to safety... this turned out so pretty! 🤩 #SpiritCrossing #CozyGames #gameDev

Morning cat chaos: Roger (who we are catsitting) staring at Harmony. Harmony (who was drinking) staring at Roger. Pansy (who is blind) staring at the vacuum cleaner. Amazingly, nobody hissed. #Cats

If you see this, quote post with your favourite Pokémon. (Wrong answers only)

Finally had time to pick up my preorder of my friend and former co-worker @mizdoomcookie.bsky.social ‘s new #romance novel! Can’t wait to start reading it 🥰 Also can’t believe it’s been over 15 years since we started working together on a little game called #EQ2. 😮 #books

Further post-surgery Harmony pics while Windows updates… onesies seem kinder than the Cone of Shame and also 100x more entertaining. #cats

Happy #ToebeanTuesday from Pansy! Her tummy fur never really did grow back after the last ultrasound, but she appears unbothered. #cats

Any day is #Caturday when there’s a cat-in-ghost-costume update: this will never not be funny 🤣
September 15, 2025 at 5:02 PM
I did not have “wandering around stores at 8pm Sunday night trying to find a baby onesie or a small pet costume”, and yet... 🤔 Superstore had some decent human options and HomeSense yielded this gem! (Harmony had surgery and a onesie seems more compatible with eating and drinking than a cone…) #cats

Anyway here is a photo of Pansy, who is very glad I’m back and has only stopped purring when actually asleep. Happy #Caturday.

Remaining grateful that I am short enough to stand up in airplane seats without having to hunch over.

NOT grateful for the current state of the US airline network, which means a Vermont -> YEG trip has thus far involved landing in South Dakota, a night in Denver, and seeing the Grand Canyon. 😫

Proud to have just purchased the very first copy of Boomtown Snap sold in Edmonton! The author, my friend Jay Martin, will be doing a signing this Wednesday at Audreys Books - audreys.ca/events/32266... #bookSky #nowReading #YEGdt

Rose update: both are thriving, though neither are as true orange or as strongly scented as I’d hoped. The Olds College rose has a particularly bad powdery mildew at the moment due to a cool damp July, but it should recover.

What rose breeds did you go with? I also uprooted some random juniper shrubs and replaced them with hardy roses (Olds College and Morden Sunrise), but sadly mine are not heavily scented. (This just means I need to plant a third bush and make sure it DOES have a strong scent!)

it is perhaps not the most attractive border marker monument thing. 😄But it is very tall. www.lloydminster.ca/recreation-c...

There be goats here.

Some of them appear unimpressed by this fact.
