#Caturday photoshoot with Pearl
every time I tried to get both of them equally in the shot, Pearl, very bossily, got in front. she demands to be the center of attention.
a little gremlin in the sheets

I'm eating lunch at a cafe downtown and it is perfect except for the marketing people from gharidelli at the next table talking about innovations in chocolate "formats" and "immediate consumption moments"
I'm unemployed. I shouldn't have to listen to this if I'm not getting paid.

hi pearl 😻
#CatsOfMastodon #Caturday
10/10 branding on these cookies because martin and I looked at each other and asked "do you want a treat? a little treat?" and now we're going home to have our little treats
the cat weather report says it's snuggle season
#CatsOfMastodon
just saw a crow eating at in n out. he had poked a hole in the middle of a spread packet and was pushing on the end to make a little burger sauce fountain for him and his friends.
smart birds.
#caturday baby peets report
rosie: 10/10, perfect beans. I did not tickle them, even though they are fluffy and ticklish, I also deserve a 10/10.
pearl: 11/10, incredible stuff, tiny stripy paws and a bonus point for the stance. she thought I wasn't going to take a picture of her and she was squaring up to yell at me and possibly bite my chin.

50/50 odds she's going to melt off this shelf in the next hour
the computer is highly contested territory because there's only enough space for one of them to dangle their head over the fans and get blasted by the hot air. so they take turns, mostly.

they both seem to have an infinite capacity for snuggles and baths. what a good way to be.

this is a warm weather amount of fluff, for comparison
#TIL that no one fuckin knows why the moon looks big when it's close to the horizon. as a species, we've been looking at the moon for millenia and we still don't know. wild.
happy pride to all, and especially to the moon 🏳️🌈
it's finally the part of the year where I can just eat hummus and bread and cucumbers for lunch and it's perfect.
so long soup weather, see you in a couple months

every time I see pictures of this cat I'm like Damn That is a Wild Animal just living in my house.
It's wild watching Haley Stevens do anything on camera because it's like she's doing an impression of my grandpa telling the story about how he met my grandma in Detroit back in the 40s
I sees this lady on the street car, legs for days, tall drink of water you know. she's got me hooked line and sinker
then I sez, I sez, can I take you out? and she sez well can you?
BART has their short story dispenser machine out today and I picked one up only to be memed on by a 10 year old.
well played, Virak. good to see the kids are all right.
I aspire to be as unbothered as the man at costco, on a busy sunday, buying a hat. just a hat. I don't even know why he got a cart for one (1) hat.

the butter-apricot syrup on this is genius. I had a slice and it tastes like apricot jam on toast. amazing.

@nekoewen@mastodon.social idk if you've seen this already but there was an amazing talk at BangBangCon last year where someone made a bunch of custom typeballs and used them to print images. ✨ it was magical ✨

I'm pretty sure that in addition to "cheese" and "good girl" she understands the word "don't" but only when I'm holding string cheese and staring at her.
a couple weeks ago I found a bottle of my favorite gin sitting next to the water heater (how??? the gnomes???) and I put it in the freezer to get all frosty
and when It happens (you know what It is. It will be on the front page.) I'm gonna enjoy my Bummer & Lazarus.
I think we have some of the champagne from the wedding and if I hadn't found the gin I think we probably would crack that. now I don't know what we keep the champagne around for now - tenth anniversary? idk

@pewterbaw@mastodon.scot I found it on reddit! it's lemon cake mix with apricot juice instead of water, and an extra egg, and apricot-butter syrup on top.

(want to preface this with I Love This Thread, just wanted to clarify how I think about my nonbinary gender)
I don't see myself as a "transmasc enby" - I did at one point but I have since realized that the 'direction' I'm going in is neither masc or femme. I'm just nonbinary/genderqueer/agender/genderfluid - when my therapist asked me what my ideal physical configuration would be, he didn't really know what to make of my answer, which is "a shimmery cloud of gas" like a nebula or something. but because he is a great therapist we sort of followed that thread and landed on "and that's why caftans give me gender euphoria"
I, at one point, considered myself transmasc but stopped that when I thought harder about "masculinity" and what that would mean for me, and specifically whether I wanted to go on T. I decided I'm happy with the amount of masculine I already am, so the direction has mostly been "away from the unpleasant parts of my AFAB body" and not necessarily towards a more masculine ID.
and when I consider what "more masculine" would mean for me - there's the physical stuff like the effects of T, there's social stuff like being treated like a man, there's stuff that can't change like height (which for whatever dumb reason is 'masculine') - and I am not aiming at any of that. I'm not aiming at "more feminine" either. I'm aiming in a totally different direction, and I get the feeling that's what PUF was doing too.
tl;dr gender is complicated.

@ferrix@mastodon.online I'm guessing it's effortless, like getting goosebumps, but in her case it is both more effective and more majestic than goosebumps ever are

@davedave@aus.social well above the cat melting point! these two are completely liquid when it gets that hot.
happy #BandcampFriday! not that you need recommendations but Leenalchi has a new album out.
it's good.
