The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I thought my hearing loss had gotten to the point where Iโ€™d just never enjoy music the way I used to, but turns out all I needed was the 4/4/4/40 method (driving for 4 hours at 4am on 4 hours of sleep and 40mg of Adderall)

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructorโ€™s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it ๐ŸŠ

View out of a window on a high rise overlooking snowy trees and mountains. The sky is cloudy but there is a small patch of orange on the horizon where the sun is rising.

All of the sunrise pictures Iโ€™ve posted so far are out the same window, but the landscape looks totally different in each of them ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

View out the window of a high rise, showing a heavy cloud layer that partially covers the mountains and snow-covered trees. Itโ€™s technically sunrise but the sun is not visible because of the clouds. Everything is tinged blue-grey.

I usually think of myself as generally unattractive to straight men (fat+muscly, kinda butch, often dirty) but Iโ€™ve learned that really itโ€™s just about whether my hair is long enough to stick out the bottom of my hat or not

My hair is now long enough that men are weirdly nice to me again

TBH the part about how intimate creating a character is & how you donโ€™t get to make their choices for them etc etc was laughable, given how bad the author is at making characters and how awful the characterization was for the โ€œpersonโ€ they were specifically referring to

I liked Three-Body Problem even though the characters fell flat & their choices didnโ€™t feel realistic. Now Iโ€™m 30% through The Dark Forest & itโ€™s got all the problems of 3body plus huge incel vibes/overt sexism, and I donโ€™t think I can continueโ€ฆ does it get better?? #booksky

Vibrant, orange sunrise behind some foggy mountains. The window this was taken through is dirty as hell
