Photo of a very large ship named "Ever Given" stranded on a riverbank. An excavator that is large, but tiny in comparison, is deepening the waterway. The ship is labelled "The insurmountable grief of existence" and the excavator is labelled "Memes".

The chaos in my brain may sometimes feel like it matches the world at large, but then I remember there are cats and cheese and, yes, memes.

Also poetry.

Gradually surfacing from an initial convulsive reaction of general avoidance. This may be a really rough year, people; it's okay to catch your breath in between.

I understand there is some discourse currently going on about "clout" here on Bluesky and while I can understand why people can be focused on it and how to achieve it I must tell you my entire posting strategy is and always has been "This was in just in my brain and now it is your problem too"

Why yes, Lego Tranquil Garden was in fact an excellent birthday present.

Also, I really love bridges.

Two cats curled up on a bed, one black and one striped orange. They are peaceful only when sleeping; the voidcat seems about to stir.

Let's get this party started.
I irregularly post about climate, environment, social justice, mental health, chronic pain, linguistics, cheese and neurodiversity. There will be memes, and cat photos. Puns are always appreciated; bullshit and flawed logic are not.
