can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow? can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?

have they considered a bucket brigade, maybe using magically conjured brooms?

nostalgia is an insidious disease

It's a picture taken by me from "The Book of Knowledge", it's a bit of comical verse from umm Edward Lear i believe, from a section that's all limericks based on towns and cities in England, and they're pretty terrible imho but people were easily entertained back then because everybody was boofing laudanum like 24/7 and they put cocaine in everything

it's been a blast reading through these early 1900s children's anthologies i dug out of storage, pre-war stuff has this sense of wide-eyed whimsy that seemed to disappear after ~1918 for some reason, mysterious, but that being said, why were they so fucking mean to this weird old man of Melrose?

my other kitty is like that, like a little bodyguard at my heels when i go on walks, but for this guy we got him used to a harness and a long leash back when he was a kitten. nowadays he'd probably be fine off-leash but he's a headstrong dude and there's a lot of coyotes around, so i play it safe

oooh that's a fun concept to work towards! my one potential problem is i'm kind of located at a low point, surrounded by hills and trees, so i might have to do some experimentation/engineering to communicate with nodes closer to civilization

when i was trying out different Linux distros i installed them on bootable USB drives so i could give them a test-drive, i ended up liking Mint the most

i was doing a lot of reading and pondering about meshtastic stuff last month, it's neat!

this is how robot uprisings get started...

I googled that to make sure you weren't speaking in tongues/having a stroke and apparently this place is also having a Heated Rivalry rave today? man i wish Seattle was a real place, it sounds so cool...

this is the kind of critical life-skill i learned while playing MUDs obsessively in the 90s

young master Geoff, a cat-kind wonderbeast of plumage d'orange, is shot in macro focus w/ his head at a jaunty angle and his eyes bright and giddy, also he's very soft you guys, you should pet his fur sometime it's amazing!

our fuzzy little tangerine nightmare here is watching the snow melting outside and is practically hyperventilating at the imminence of me and him being able to go outside on walkies 😽

agreed, i never consented to this consciousness nonsense, i'm going to need to speak to existence's manager so i can lodge a complaint formally

finally, some optimism!

"i hear ya, getting tied up in traffic sure does suck," i say agreeably, obliviously, demonstrating poor reading comprehensionly

"We only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down", that's what some Austrian dude said a few years ago before invading some large industrialized nation, i wonder how that worked out for him?

oh yeah, it's very exciting, really keeps my teeth sharp! and i could move them into a separate folder i SUPPOSE but that's surrendering to fate isn't it?

i took some selfies last week after accidentally buying leopard-print undies (it happens), they look dope as hell but i didn't post them cuz this account is Very Wholesome 🙂‍↕️ but ofc now when i hand my phone to my parents to look at cat pix there are these leopard-print landmines in my camera roll 😅

a selfie taken in the filthy bathroom mirror of me holding Geoffy the cat like a sack of happy potatoes and im holding a canary yellow phone

i bought this case for my NEW CAMERA-PHONE not because it's especially sturdy or anything but 110% because the bright colour and grippy surface will reduce the number of times i lose the fucking thing by at least 10% (-/+ 15%), so that's my ADHD life-hack for yinz 🙂‍↕️

Coco the cat, sitting on my mom's computer desk between the monitor and my mom, staring out the front window with huge staring eyes

lmao taking this picture is what let me know our front lawn was covered in deer, her eyes went from happy little slits to bulging orbs of rage >:3

three whitetail deer on my front lawn, come to eat all the suet fallen in the snow under the bird feeder and to nibble on the salt lick i put out for them, in this photo they are bolting into the woods because i dunno deer love running away, it's kind of what they do

a feast in fresh snow

chestnut brown in pelt and gaze

startled my dumb cats

geoffy the cat who is orange is sitting on the counter and looking at me with an expression that says "quit taking fucking pictures of me you asshole" which is entirely fair

he's like a freaking supermodel, how does this guy do it?

it's a closeup pic of an orange cat (Geoff) in an Amazon box looking out through the window with a look of fixed and rapturous intensity upon his wee phiz at a perfidious squirrel that is capering around outside

my face when i'm looking at all my bluesky buddies 😘

99% of my horn use has been to motivate wildlife to kindly get the heck off the road. the remaining 1% is when i accidentally lean on it and startle the shit out of myself

it's a close up picture of my coffee/hot chocolate mug with a disgusting encrustation of microwaved chocolate all over the outside, there are clots and clumps, it's NOT PRETTY

my mom said "you should wash your diarrhea mug" and i'm like jeez mom, do you even understand what gourmet cooking is all about? how caramelization works? maybe i should give the Mona Lisa a vigorous scrubbing with steel wool while i'm at it?

that means it's time to decant the snowshoes and run amok thru moonlit groves of spruce and pine while crying out in ecstasy at the thrill of existence

an intensely Minecraft lookin' lighthouse that is

it just keeps happening!

a hand, pale as the milky moon, as pallid as a drowned corpse, my hand that is complete with dirty thumbnail, is cruelly grasping the anterior head-skin of an innocent orange cat and pulling it back so as to reveal his gorgeous jadeite eyeballs! and then i ran around holding him like he was kitty superman, which is one of his approved games

there, i FINALLY managed to gather enough dopamine molecules together in one place to get my NEW PHONE operational! man it is so wild having a phone that doesn't need to be strategically tensioned with rubber-bands in order to take photographs 🥳
