Amber Aspinall

A sphynx cat named Clawdia.

The scratches on my chest are from my fave kitty, Clawdia, climbing up me just before this pic was taken. This is Clawdia (full name Clawdia Wrinkleman):

I went to the local cat café (one of my favourite places) for my birthday today and it was a great way to start my thirties 😊😊

My PIP tribunal is in the morning and I'd very much like to be tranquilised right now

Please share & give to help Duaa and Mahmoud's family, including their little son Adam, survive & escape Israel's genocidal famine & escalating assault on Gaza. Donations have been very slow. They're starving & in desperate need:

Angels by Robbie Williams

and through it all, she fills me with aggression

This poem is so fucking good @beestung.bsky.social

A CNF of mine in Five Minutes Lit, if you've got ... Five minutes to spare!

Thanks @fiveminutelit.bsky.social for the boost of this one. A special one. Still makes me draw breath wherever I'm at Tesco.

Wow, how terrifying! Really effective, even I feel shaken up!

get some therapy I BEG

The guy who got conned in Con Mum has me WAY more pissed off than the actual scammer

Black t-shirt with a slogan that says 'I survived my husbands's knee replacement '. The word knee is made out of bones, with blood splatters.

I have it and it's beautiful

I truly never left my ~lol so random XD~ era but it's appropriate seeing as I bought the shirt for an emo-themed party... right??

I bought a really bizarre and grammatically-incorrect slogan t-shirt from Vinted for £2 (originally bought it for a party tonight but my body is being too crappy for me to go, which is also why I failed to order it early enough) and I'm so hype for it to arrive. Yes I will post a picture

Ceviche is a cutie!

Went into @kathyfish.bsky.social's constraints-centred 'Freedom in Limits' flash workshop feeling nervous, and have come out of it feeling empowered to approach my writing in new ways knowing that fresh insights can appear 🙌 Thanks Kathy!

I fell back into full burnout from partial burnout. Clawing my way back out.

Happy happy birthday! 🎂

Perception?

I know I'm so, so late, but I started reading Butter and I'm OBSESSED

Just signed up! Excited 🎉😁

She's left notes for me all over the flat, and I'm wondering if I've still got some to find!

*note

and today she went away for a work trip and left me behind my own fat ball 😂❤️ complete with a nite that said 'for my top bird'

Yesterday my wife and I made fat balls for wild birds out of peanut butter, oats, and various seeds to celebrate Imbolc. I had a little taste of the mixture and weirdly quite enjoyed it (especially the crunch of the hemp seeds)...

A black and white illustration of a cluster of skulls at the top, with the title "MAKE SOMETHING EVERY DAY" in bold letters, followed by the date "February 3, 2025" and the author's name "Katy Luxem." Below the title, there is a poem that reflects on daily life challenges, creativity, and the beauty of the world, presented in a thoughtful and introspective tone. The layout features a clean, readable font, with the poem arranged in several short stanzas.

love this beautiful, inspired poem today from Katy Luxem!!

"For me, it is not the poem, exactly,
but the knowledge that I can
make it. I have it in me, somewhere
to say, oh, this world right here
is beautiful. There is nothing between
me and it."
