Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie curled up asleep in my lap. On top of her a dollhouse miniature of a sleeping white cat on an orange and white tiny crocheted cushion has been very gently placed, the cat mimicking Francie’s coloring and sleeping position exactly.

Vintage dollhouse cat from my collection. Pictured on Francie for no particular reason at all.

A man I met high in the Peak District who, due to crimes he would not disclose to me, had been turned into two conjoined Sycamore trees by a coven of witches and condemned to spend eternity waving his useless branch hands at the cold, cruel sky.

Celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at age 62 The gaming community mourns a beloved mentor and LGBTQ+ advocate with a storied career.

I wrote an obituary of celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman for Ars Technica:

arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

The first game here is Wasteland, a pivotal title for me. Unfortunately, one of the programmers passed away this week. She won the first national video game competition in 1980, co-founded Interplay, and pirated video games before it was cool. Much respect to her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Le freak, c'est chic 🐷

That's a really great idea ❤️

RIP "Burger" Becky Heineman. My heart goes out to her legion of fans, friends, and family. A kind soul. Can we take 2600 Space Invaders out of the High Score rotation to freeze her World Record as a way to commemorate her?
