Cant Hug Every Cat I Love Cats GIF Alt: GIF of the "I love cats" meme lady. She is crying with text that says "I just want to hug all of them but I can't cause that's crazy I can't hug every cat"

You but with lakes

your honor, my client is innocent on grounds of being just a lil
guy

Two screenshots. 1st pic is an email stating "40% off all in store purchases" and the 2nd is the actual coupon, which is "40% off online only". Coupons are from Michael's craft store.

The advertisement vs the actual coupon you receive. ಠ_ಠ

She was just trying to get an early start on taxes

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

HMMMMM 🤔🤔🤔

Screenshot of a seller offering a "deal" on an item listed for sale on Mercari. The "deal" price is higher than the listing price.

Well that's new lmao.

To piggyback off of this, so much more anime per season is getting released internationally. Nearly every decently popular series will see screens outside of Japan whereas in the olden days, maybe a few select series per season could be translated so they had to be more picky.

Photo of the Pokémon Snivy, hand sewn out of felt, sitting on an orange background.

Hehehe

Photo of felt pieces cut out and laid out in the shape of the Pokémon Snivy. They are pieces that will be sewn together to make a small Snivy magnet or ornament.

Snivy esploded. But we can rebuild him. We have the technology.

ghost 👻

Yikes. If that's the booth I think it is, their prices on everything are insane.

Photo of the felt sheet racks at Michael's Arts and Crafts store. They are almost completely empty.

I can't live, laugh, felt holiday ornaments in these conditions.

I can hear Sarah McLachlan music in the background lol

sad cone pics but that is a hella cute doggo

Artist Alleys should reserve a certain percentage of their tables for local artists or at least prioritize them during the portfolio review process.

also no more 3D print heavy booths unless the artist actually made the models/files

Anime convention vendor rooms should have fewer collectible tchotchkes and more obscure stuff that’s difficult/impossible to find elsewhere. Kigurumi masks, breast forms / chest binders for crossplayers, that kind of thing.

Hi temp will melt/warp many kinds of foam but low temp should work on most foam, EVA or cushion foam. I've never had low temp hot glue melt Styrofoam, cushion foam, or EVA foam.

Photo of a fluffy grey cat, fast asleep. The cage is curled up tight like a shrimp and one of his back feet is almost touching his forehead.

Being able to sleep like this without causing body and back pain would fix me.

hope ya manage to find that passion again soon! I've got a mix of burnout and an unfortunate "everyone I meet has a drastically different schedule" so resulting in having no one to do raids and stuff with without PF Hell

they SCREAM😱

Photo of a felt ornament of Magikarp from Pokémon. The Magikarp has gold hand stitching on all of his edges and is a shiny Magikarp. The ornament is about the size of the hand holding it.

1st go at a 3D (tho he's more 2.5D) Magikarp. Gonna alter his body shape and proportion but he's still pretty cute haha

I bet they are friends with the jackass in our unit that plays ukulele for hours on end but JUST low enough that it's not against the lease.

oh yeah so for what I believe was $6? Not bad! They def don't keep as long as Crumbl cookies, I'd recommend eating these the same day or day after you buy them otherwise they get that weird grainy/sandy texture that some store cookies get when they are old. would buy again

Screenshot of a message received via Mercari DM's telling the recipient that their item has been purchased but that it can't be processed until the recipient copies and pastes a bogus Mercari address into their browser to update their information.

Sweet, another Mercari scam!

When we went to Japan in October a few years ago, we were (unpleasantly) surprised it was 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit the entire time. And it's rare for most buildings, even in the city, to have AC. Coulda saved so much suitcase space by leaving pants and jackets at home! Stay cool!
