A praying mantis rests on the bare shin of a white person, just above their rainbow striped sock.

The same mantis perches on the knuckles of a gently curled hand.

I felt a tickle on my leg yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see this little friend.

My coworker Zeke does the same thing!

Jesus himself said an awful lot of folks on both sides of the fence are gong to be surprised when the sorting happens (parable of the sheep and the goats).

A round grey and white tabby cat sprawled on his back on the floor. His expression seems to say, "this belly won't rub itself, human"

A long grey and white cat stretched on the floor on his back reaches toward you as if to drag your hand to his belly for pats.

My coworkers, Zeke and Gabe, are here to request belly rubs. In exchange for belly rubs they will purr and roll around endearingly like otters.

Nuts. Do you have someone who can help you use it? They're tricky to get on yourself correctly. One of my clients has an automatic one from Rite-Aid that gets readings comparable to my manual one... if it's on straight.

I got an inexpensive wrist one and took it with me to the Dr to make sure it was accurate. I think it's from Medline?

I'm getting back into Pokémon Go. It gives me something to focus on and lots of bite sized goals to choose from.

Picture of a drink in a clear to-go cup. The caption reads, "I don't know how but this drink tastes exactly like the fancy lavender soap at my favorite hotel at Long Beach smells... and not in a bad way. I need an ocean trip ASAP"

Modern AU Ed, missing Stede.

Paneer Tikka Masala Lin (no brains, only vibes)

Aloo Gobi Lin helping me with a project.

I helped a friend middle name their 2 chihuahuas 'cause they were being naughty and I needed more syllables to yell.

Please appreciate the jackets I'm making for my friend's chihuahuas. I commissioned the logo from one of my #OFMD friends.

I wanted all my new friends with me.

Holy cow. Just finished up a diabetic education session with someone who is clearly neurotypical. She kept talking about routines and schedules and if I do something regularly it will become a habit 😄😄😭

Dance. Chocolate. I'll take it!
To answer your question, I vote yes.

text reads: Trans beloveds: You deserve so much more than to be used as a political bargaining chip. You deserve so much more than to be a bogeyman of the frothing fears whipped up by power-brokers. Since humans were first formed from clay and breath, you have existed in your beauty and your normalcy. No circus, no pompous parade, can keep us from fighting for your dignity.

Sent a bit, and offer you "a wolf!", Maleficent.

They're like catnip to Spaniards

Aww, feel better soon!

Just a gay person pointing at another gay person

Same. (I enjoyed edibles and watched the ocean. It was a good night for it.)

Happy birthday, enjoy your trip!

Oh yeah. I saw him in Portland last month, where he added a second show and both were primarily filled with crew.
This is what I want for *all* the folks involved in making our show: that having a rabid international fanbase will allow them to do what they love.

My BFF/ housemate got a bunny this week. Meet Maleficent, way cuter on my shoulder than a parrot:

Mmmm, yesssssss 🧛🏻‍♂️🤺💓

My BFF/ housemate just got a new rabbit; please welcome Maleficent!

Candy Land. I worked at an elementary school for several years and used to stack the deck to get it over with faster.

Hello Moose!

Absolutely. They're welcome in the big bed cuddle pile any time.

Either way, I'm here for it!
