You can't trust that any more.
Yeeeep. I'm expecting that bubble is about to burst based on the shelf weight.

By sitting on your chest and purring loudly.
A black and white kitten snuggled in blankets and sleeping so soundly.
What's an afternoon without a kitten sleeping peacefully beside you?

The wait is over. I finally have a kitty again!! I'm so happy to welcome K-Pop to her forever home.

07.02.2026 17:31 — 👍 40 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0I don't know what to tell you. You can't sit at a piano for the first time ever and play a sonata. You can't pick up a tennis racket for the first time and serve a 110MPH Ace.
You have to fuck up.
You have to be able to handle failing.
You have to love it enough to not get it right and keep on.
That is mildly disturbing.

Fascism has no place in the game community and I won't be attending or supporting any of these cons unless they sever ties with Reedpop
I mean, there is a specific gift to get, but I'll pass along the suggestion.
