BEFORE HE CALLS THE PAWTHORITIES 🚨

Relatable. “How…to…kill…someone…with…” *delete delete* “EFFICIENTLY…with…a…dagger…”

KITTY IS A HANDSOME BOY

Just a potato wondering why his heating pad isn’t already turned on.

Okay, but let me raise you—hear me out—*catnip*. In the peppermint family too and has amazing stomach benefits!! I get awesome stuff from the UK!!

Love this, especially my fellow PTSD and chronic pain sufferer Frodo (he’s always been my favorite). “There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts go too deep, that have taken hold.” I have a tattoo from the passage where he & Sam see Eärendil in the Ephel Dúath. 💗💗

Just realized I was so excited about being drawn for the #RevPit #10Queries, I never even posted about it! 🤦‍♀️ 🫢 This has been such a difficult year for me, and I am so grateful at this little bright spot of luck. Thank you so much #RevPit! So excited to see everyone’s feedback!! 💗💗

I relate to this so hard!! I got drawn too and it was the first bright spot I’d had in a while. And my ADHD self was so excited, I totally forgot to post about it. 🤦‍♀️ So happy for you!! 💗💗

Yes! Gotta keep moving forward. I love the YouTube channel Cinema Therapy and was watching their episode on The Martian, and they were talking about how you just have to focus on one small problem and not let the whole huge problem overcome you. So just one query and then the next!

You should look into the Pusheen box!! It’s quarterly and you get 6 or 7 Pusheen items!! The Halloween one is always my fave!! (Not my chaos demon cat photobombing.)

So incredibly 💔 by the loss of John Lodge of the Moody Blues. Classic rock is losing so many greats. 😔

Sounds amazing and also, LOVE Pusheen. I am literally wearing a brand new Pusheen sweatshirt from the October Pusheen box. 💗💗

Thanks to @jendiarenzo.bsky.social for this amazing drawing of my sea serpent Pooski giving encouragement. #querying is hard, & it was crushing not getting any #dvpit likes. It makes me question what I’m doing wrong, if my story is even wanted, if I even have any talent at all. Anyone else relate?
