Visiting sweet pea is also a treat! I’ve been hanging with smaller cats recently so she’s amazingly FLUFFY AND ROUND by comparison

(No printer is actually that good)
I’ve gotten into sewing clothes in the last couple years and this year I want to participate in #MeMadeMay / #memademay2026
I don’t have a ton of items, but I have enough to *try* to wear at least once piece that I crafted as often as possible, and document my journey.
Here is my Chalk and Notch - Page Hoodie, which is probably the item i am a) most proud of for its construction (the hood was like half the work!) and b) most comfortable in.
Pants and the rest are RTW (ready to wear).
Personal public transit win: I ran for a bus and caught it *in Santa cruz* because I had enough real time info on its location
I was able to do this 18 or 19 years ago in Seattle
the downside of adopting a cat (or two) in the hellscape of a year 2026
just keep my cats' microchip record intact and leave me alone.

I took a cat nap with this fuzzy butt and it appropriately charged me up again
Oh shit, west side pizza show down. Cruz room with sleight of hand pizza is now open down the hill from pogonip pizza. Cruz room is where d20 was (and where burger was before that).
pogonip pizza was at the international pizza competition recently but so was sleight of hand, and they were supposedly ranking really high.

Upgraded to this wool vest I found in a box with a label from exactly 20 years ago, says it’s hand spun wool from orcas island

the beginning of this chart is when @turgon introduced her to us!
but then we had to wait an entire month for her to get big enough to be spayed and be adoptable!
happy toorcamp ferry day to all who celebrate/suffer
I wasn’t sure I wanted to post me made may sewing stuff here. I wasn’t sure I wanted to post it on IG either (where it feels like the *event* is taking place). I wanna be witnessed, but not necessarily through the evil meta machine.
Alas, I ended up posting in both places.
I’ve now ridden my bike to the Ariana grande gulch
Unintentionally went geocaching during dinner

"foxhole forest" -- this _is_ a cute name for an idea that seems like it's working out pretty well

Was back at my parents’ house today. Here’s my beautiful sister Sweet Pea in even better lightning than before.

@alexr@tilde.zone my friend is really into this game and convinced me to buy it when it was deeply on sale for $5, though I’ve only played it once. You can drive through part of Santa Cruz… and you can also drive from here to Truckee but somehow feel like you’ve skipped the entire Central Valley.

A treat I sometimes get when helping at my moms house is stealing her wine club shipment.

@ggggbbybby@hachyderm.io I 💕 this, both for the memes, and the fact that as a kid, I wanted the bart under the bay to be exactly this.
