A brown tabby cat is lying on her side on her human's lap.  Her cheek is resting on her human's knee and her front feet are curled and tucked under her chin.

Right after I took this picture, Mimi stretched her back feet, and in so doing, very gently kicked herself in the face

In today's #dnd adventures, Steve the kobold barbarian took out an ochre jelly all by himself! Good job, little dude!

Woohoo! Woobles are a great way to learn! That's one of the ways that I started learning. If you ever want to learn to read written patterns, they also come with those so you can compare the pattern to the videos

For anyone who needs to hear it, the advice to "always do your best" does not necessarily mean "always be the best."

Our "best" can change from day to day. Every day is different.

Doing your best just means being kind with yourselfβ€”knowing what you want and having the courage to go after it.

There are five cane covers each folded up in clear plastic bags on a desk with a red mat.  From left to right, their patterns are: fall foliage, black cats with moons and stars on their foreheads against an orange background, flying piglets amongst the stars and clouds, rainbow vines on a black background, and reflective rainbow splotches on a black background.

Maybe we should stop naming scandals β€œ_____gate.” Watergate wouldn’t even make it above the fold today.

I'm glad to hear that! While I haven't had my yarn break and my spindle drop to the ground yet, I've made almost every other possible mistake πŸ˜†

A brown tabby cat lies on her back on her human's lap.  Her head is turned at a 90 degree angle to her body and all of her legs are in the air pointing in different directions.  Her belly is cream colored with faint brown stripes and spots, and is fluffy and perfect for petting.

Mimi has achieved maximum comfy

Apparently a lot of this comes from the fact that a ton of the training material for AI was actually fan fiction (namely freely available formatted writing), so now it writes like a Gen X or millennial that likes writing

I picked up some agoraphobic tendencies when my chronic illnesses started getting bad. I tend to avoid doing things that I should do or would enjoy since I'm scared of being out of my safe space away from my meds, etc. I've only been able to start pushing against that in the last month

I feel this, a new medication I started a couple months ago for another autoimmune diagnosis has had the side effect of flaring up my symptoms along with adding new ones. The one silver lining is that we can see that it's doing something to protect me, it just makes me feel terrible 😝
