HE IS THE ORATOR OF HIS TIME

My cream British Shorthair cat Mori sitting on my lap getting one of his ears scritched. His eyes are closed in scritchy bliss and he looks extremely comfy.

There was someone coughing and spluttering in the pharmacy who'd come to get something stronger than Strepsils and asked "ARE THERE ANY ESPECIALLY BAD COLDS GOING ROUND? I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE HAS ONE" - eventually asked about COVID tests but then didn't get one 🙃 (I was the only person masking ofc)

You can get them done privately but only at certain pharmacies and it'll set you back about £100!

GOETHE CONFUSED ME TOO - LIKE WHAT

A dear friend apparently just picked up Hestia for me along with their own order of some Roman soldiers (excellent choice) as an early Halloween/Christmas gift 😭😭😭

Oh yeah, the Playmobil history series (which includes some more fantastical figures) is pretty wild overall: www.playmobil.com/en-gb/web-sh...

(I kind of want this one of my girl Hestia, though)

vibes: UNMATCHED 💖

(I do sometimes talk to Mori in this voice)

Pam from the Fix The Baby animation by Worthikids, featuring audio from the first episode of Monster Factory: Fallout 4. Pam is a pale cartoon woman with a dark bob, panda-thick black eye makeup, tiny nose, bright pink lips, and pinkish-red pock-marked cheeks. She looks at the camera, eyes mostly closed and mouth partially open, a blue bubbly background behind her.

This is me when my rosacea flares up (source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNsF...)

A photo of my cream British Shorthair cat Mori curled up comfily on the floor, looking at the camera as The Moon tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith deck leans up against his perfectly loafly side. He looks both tolerant and content in equal measure - he is an extremely chill little dude.

I don't qualify for a COVID booster this year due to tightened restrictions but have found a local pharmacy who'll do one privately... for just over £100 🙃

Cheeky little October tarot reading, anyone?

Just a quick update about Mori's vet times: he finished the course of steroid tablets the other day and appears pretty much back to normal (plus the scabs on his original abrasion/scratchy patches have dried up and come off). Keeping an eye on him but he seems alright aside from a bit of dry skin ❤️

A photo of my cream British Shorthair cat Mori as a kitten(ish), sitting on a chair in front of my computer desk in my former apartment in Cologne. His little pink tongue is out in a big blep, and he is much smaller but his face is still very round.

— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

This is the kind of insider knowledge we need, thank you 😂

We have one or two of those floating around that we got for my late father and we're currently trying to find it/them! Any other recovery tips?

This is also one of the reasons why I'm especially keen to get a COVID booster ASAP (turns out she can't have hers so close to her op) - you can help out by getting a tarot reading if you fancy 🔮 bsky.app/profile/ecms...

The bottom image shows the product itself, while above is a row of three images: A grey-haired older couple (with the subtitle "Old man") A pregnant lady looking Done With This Shit (with the subtitle "Pregnant woman") A person on crutches (with the subtitle "Inconvenient people")

I'll be looking after my mum following a total knee replacement in the near future and she requested a grab bar for the bathroom - this is STELLAR product copy
