Post an emergency cat pic
Skittles, a stripy cat with a white chin, is snuggled up to a soft blanket. He is almost asleep and squints at the camera.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers
A pixelated 16 bit screenshot from Space Quest I (1986) - a desert scene of Tiny's Used Spacecraft store, with a hot pink sky. Roger, a stick figure in a grey spacesuit, is negotiating with another figure presumed to be Tiny. There are assorted spacecraft about.

How can I be expected to focus on a work call when this is happening beside me
Two stripy cats snuggling together in a blue cat bed that they almost fit in. The left, slightly darker and larger cat (Skittles) is licking the head of the other, smaller/browser cat (Snook)

the art and the artist
A stripy cat sleeps comfortably with his head pillowed on his white back foot. He is on a pink chair with quite a few claw marks.

I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't seen your post. It's very subtle (and hard to photograph). Interesting.

most importantly, of course, a fresh box
Snook, a stripy brown cat with a white nose and undercarriage and big green eyes, sits in a cardboard box. Behind her is a filing cabinet with witty magnets: "people think that I'm shy when actually I don't want to talk to them", "i was an honor student I don't know what happened", "good girls go to heaven bad girls go to the craft store", and "the despair is neverending yet I remain silly"

it's heeeeeeeeeeere
(three fountain pens plus a dip pen seems like a good quantity to own. I'm sure I will totally stop there.)
atlas stationers haul: col-o-ring swatch thingy, a boxed Kaweco Sport, the iro-utsushi dip pen, some blotting paper, and the Diamine Inkvent calendar. Bonus stripy cat off to the side.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I am a believer in the proper use of statistics I guess
realization: the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was technically the highest ratio of killing birds to one stone in earth's history "Average rock kills 2 birds" factoid actually just statistical error. Average rock kills 0 birds. Chixulub Georg, which killed 3/4 of all life, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Wednesday, my first cat, aka the darkness. She always said "meh" instead of mew. Once got stuck in a drawer in my kitchen somehow. Loved clown noses, the neighbor's shoes, making increasingly eldritch growls at outdoor cats, and snuggling with her humans. She made it to 14 #fuckcancer

me in my second apartment/guinea pig mom/metal glasses frames era ~2003 (shoutout to my aunt for making that quilt)
bonus smol child era ~1984 looking pouty but iirc this was also how i smiled
a white girl in her early 20s in a white sweater slouching on a couch with a longhaired guinea pig on her shoulder. the couch is covered in a brightly colored quilt and pillow. a small white girl, about 3 years old, stares at the camera. she is dressed in a blue gingham dirndl, red cardigan, red tights, sandals, and a headscarf. she is standing on an extremely 70s mustard floral rug and leaning against a mirror

n00b collection. I think they'll get along well with the Kaweco Sport I just ordered. Luckily my cats haven't gotten into jumping up on the desk and batting pens around...yet

This is Snook and Skittles.

please enjoy Skittles and Snook sleeping.
A stripy cat sleeps curled up tightly against colorful blankets, with his tail up against his face. A stripy cat with a white undercarriage sleeps sprawled on her back. Her feets are curled delicately and her fangs are visible.

Snook is such a dignified cat most of the time...then she tries to eat plastic and sleeps like this
A stripy brown cat with a white undercarriage sleeps upside down in a blue cat bed. Her pink nose and fangs are visible and her paws are daintily curled.
