✨ The ribbon is always right. I will listen to the ribbon. I will not ignore the ribbon's recommendations. The ribbon is God. ✨

I am SO EXCITED to be giving out my very first ribbon this year at #dragoncon - if you're going and would like a last, best ribbon for your badge, let me know 🥰

Hi, I'm alive! Got a new phone and forgot to set bluesky up on it. Oops.

Doing prep for #dragoncon and trying to be more excited than stressed but it's hard when the to-do list is so long, lmao.

Anyway here's what I'm working on. See you soon, nerds!

#concrunch #dragoncon2025 #sneakpeek #cosplay

Thank you! Been here a bit over a month and am well settled (except my bank balance lol). Glad the hard part is done with haha

Starting to look more like home. 💖 #NewPlace #Manchester #MeowhausUK

Oh yeah, I made it to Manchester. Currently running errands, as I have absolutely no household supplies anymore and the flat was delivered to me totally dirty. :(

Oh by the way we're in the UK now. Not all the way to Manchester yet, but only a few more hours and this will all be over. Thank goodness!!

#UKBound #Moving #OnwardAndUpward #TravelKitties

I'm taking a moment tonight to absorb the fact that in 4 short days I'm going to not only not be in this apartment ever again, but not even on this continent for the foreseeable future. That is wild. I'm laying on my familiar, comfy mattress in familiar, comfy California and soon I....won't be. 🫣

To be honest, even if I wasn't moving... Not sure I would want the bike back at this point. I probably would have turned around and sold it off. Little too weird, knowing somebody else was joyriding on my baby. 😖

(it had been kinda chillin in a two block radius for like, almost 6 months, but now it's on the move again.)

Interesting. The bike that got stolen in November suddenly moved, according to the trackers that are apparently still attached.

Wonder what kind of life that poor baby is living now. :(

⚠️ Heads up y'all I'm at the post office. ⚠️

2.5 hours after my grocery delivery window closed, they began picking my items.

They picked 2 items, then cancelled it.

I've been holding off on my dinner for almost 4 hours at this point because I was waiting on those groceries.

Prettyyyyyy frustrated right now. :(

Hey Oakland!

Garage sale on Sunday! 10ish am!

Costumes, clothes, craft supplies, furniture, treasures, trinkets!!

I can't take it to the UK and I'm freaking out about how much there is. 😭

Good deals!

Message for address!

The cats go in for the 1st of their int'l travel exams tomorrow (well, later today).

I also gave notice on my apartment today, and will get my new lease in the next few hours.

Guess it's all locked in. 😅 No going back on the plan now! UK here I come!

...Just gotta finish getting rid of my stuff 💀

Wow no love at all for shrimps here on Bluesky. Dang. 😂

A shrimp 🍤

To whoever did not receive the two half-gallons of almond milk they put on their grocery order... I'm very sorry that they got delivered to me instead, therefore depriving you of your almondy goodness. :(

It's probably a very good thing I didn't discover until three weeks before moving away that there is a super cute wine shop with chill nice staff and good prices a block from my house.

The comedic timing was impeccable tbh 😂

Also, the kitty supplies I bought for the move to the UK arrived today (poor dears are NOT ready for the 24 hour itinerary we have ahead of us 🥺).

One of the items was a set of harnesses so I can let the cats stretch their legs.

Here's how the test fitting went.

#CatsOfBluesky #Strugglebus

A small win today: I completely dismantled my entire bathroom other than what I absolutely need for now, like my toothbrush and shower curtain - everything else got tossed/boxed/saved for yard sale. That means one whole room is essentially ready for my move! 🥳

#UKbound #moving #progress

Thinking of having a mini yard sale sometime soonish but we're headed into a very busy few weeks here soon - so I thought I'd take a poll. Are you more likely to stop by a yard sale on:

Pride Sunday?
Or 4th of July Sunday?

Or does this not make any difference to you? 🤔

The coffee is not coffee-ing today 😴

#tired #naptime

So it's going to cost at least $2500 just to get the two pieces of paper that will allow my cats into Europe.

I have no idea how to afford that. :( That's like half of my entire living expenses budget for the foreseeable future.

This move is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to negotiate.

Don't think I ever actually mentioned it here but Juju got radio-iodine for hyperthyroidism. figured I should go big on her treatment while she's still insured, because she's going to lose her covg when we move. Might as well get her totally cured rather than paying for meds the rest of her life. 🤷‍♂️

Warning: radioactive cat 🥺

Just a few days left in Jubilee's quarantine! We can snuggle again on Tuesday and I'm so excited for it.

#catsofbluesky #calico #atomickitten #radioactive

To say this move has me stressed is hilariously understating it. Basically every piece of it is falling apart or is way more tenuous than I'd like it to be.

5am seems like the appropriate time for the cats to discover the chirping cat toy they lost ages ago 🫠
