Two 7 month old kittens sit on an ikea doll bed and look sleepy as they cuddle together in a sun spot.

GAMA is coming up soon so this is your reminder that these girls (and me) live in Louisville and you can see them (and me!) if you’d like.

Illustrations of some stamp designs featuring sharks. Featured are whale shark, black tip reef shark, thresher shark, lemon shark, and great white shark. No they can not be used as real stamps lol

Welcome to the club! They look great!

One of the highlights of my day working at the animal shelter is seeing @lilichin.bsky.social art on informational materials. I get to point at it and say “hey, I know them!” 🥰

A tabby kitten raises a paw at the glass door. Its eyes are wide and begging for cuddles. He went to a new home later that day.

This was the best photo I’ve taken so far and they posted it to Facebook which brought folks to the shelter to adopt this boy. He was adopted almost immediately after posting, but folks who came later found other kittens they took home. 🥹

A silver tabby kitten reluctantly receives kisses and cuddles from alonechark.

A black and white dog sleeps under blankets on a dog bed. The bed is next to drawers and a recycling bin because it’s in an office area.

A black kitten and a tabby kitten sit alert on a chair.

Alonechark cuddles a fluffy black, brown and white puppy. It seems suspicious.

I haven’t been around much because I’m adjusting to my new work routine. Here are some friends I’ve made this month. Prettiest baby boy, sweetest coworker sleeping on the job, dynamic duo who went home together and ball of floof who is kind of judging me.

I’m grateful to the friends who were on monster-feeding duty while we were out of town. I never had to worry they weren’t gonna get love and care, plus I got photos and nice updates.

Back home from Pax. Finkle is happy to see us, the girls are running around playing (I swear they got bigger 😭). I’m exhausted – I couldn’t stay awake at the in-laws’ house or for the ride home.

Grateful for a good con. Didn’t realize until today that I didn’t cry or have a meltdown! Victory!

The rare “outside the hall” travel for only the best people, duh.

Morning shift for the last day of Pax! Come see me at the Flatout Booth from 10 to 2, especially if we haven’t run into each other somehow?? Though tbh I don’t even know who has been here and not, my brain says nah to retaining that info.

Map of the Pax U expo hall with a red dot labeling the Flatout Games booth. It is next to AEG.

I’m on afternoon shift (2 to 6) at the Flatout Games booth today and tomorrow, so if you don’t see me wandering around (or even if you do!), come say hi! Booth #2643

It’s so upsetting!! 😭 I won’t know what to do with myself if I’m not bribing people to be my friend. 😂

It has been rewarding already, though. I have gotten to see so many adorable kitties and doggos and seen how happy people are to bring them home.

Starting a new job the week before Pax Unplugged means I am so exhausted that the convention might seem calm and relaxing. 😅 I also have zero time for prep so there may be no cookies. It turns out that having a physical job makes you really tired and unable to do anything. Oops.

A calico kitten stretches out between two couch cushions with a LEGO Batman pillow behind her. She’s sleepy.

A dilute taboo kitten sleeps with her body folded over itself and her ear flipped up.

Selina Belle loves sleeping in the space between cushions. Washi tucked herself between the couch and my leg and started cleaning herself. She got sleepy, I guess, and left her ear like that. I’m obsessed with these weirdos.

Artoo used to bring his pom toys to bed, so we’d say “no poms in bed!” and throw it across the room, knowing he’d fetch it and bring it back to bed. I’ve missed those forbidden poms.

Last night Washi brought her sparkly orange pom to bed. (It’s her showgirl pom.)

My heart is so full.

Yeah, they’ve put up a pretty large shelter in place, hopefully people are following orders. The phone alerts about them keep scaring the crap out of me.

It was wild watching the sky from our house as smoke was passing overhead like a storm.

I’m watching the basketball game on mute (usually preferred against UCONN, not gonna lie) and have the news on the second TV showing updates from the plane crash. Going outside is terrifying.

I’m obsessed with this band name and trying to say it quickly. Impossible.

A gray and white tabby kitten curls up in a ball in the arm nook of alonechark who is wearing a comfy pink and yellow hoodie.

Washi isn’t always a cuddler, but when she is, she purrs and rubs against my face until she’s found the best position for keeping me right where she wants me.

A calico/tabby kitten curls up on a sofa. She has her leg positioned/stretched over her neck in a way that does not seem comfortable but go off queen.

Selina Belle sleeps in some strange positions.

So is now a good time to say Twitch used genAI on my art? 🧵⤵️

The grape/strawberry ones are maybe my favs! They smell so grapey.

Two kittens, one calico and one dilute tabby, sit in a TV-shaped cat house.

I’ve been pretty offline but want to remember to share Selina Belle and Washi content.

Two kittens, a gray/white/cream dilute tabby and a calico tabby, sleep while hugging o. A snoopy blanket.

Sorry, I’m completely obsessed with these girls and so excited for their quarantine to end and for them to enjoy the upstairs life. They’re going to make a mess of everything, but they are so cute that I won’t be mad.

Barret the foster kitten is running around the living room playing with and carrying a yellow pom. Finkle is watching and singing a song of his people. I feel Artoo’s spirit in this moment.

I feel like any karma I have gotten has really been from posting cat photos in comments, often when someone posts a photo that looks like my cat and I need to acknowledge that they’re twins.

A gray/white dilute tabby kitten sits on a bathroom vanity looking at an iPad.

I have to adjust my kitten cam iPad setup because Washi is obsessed with getting up there to watch it/knock it over. She is definitely the troublemaker of duo.

Photo of two kittens in a fruit tart bed. One is a calico with tabby stripes, one is a gray and cream tabby.

We have a foster kitten in the upstairs bathroom and these girls have taken over the basement. We found the pair we needed to adopt and I’m already in love. 🥹
