A large tin of Chef wet cat food sits on a dark kitchen counter. The tin has green 3d printed lid that allows a spoon or fork to be left in the tin. The top of the lid reads "The pot of spurn" in white letters

One of the many thing caught up in the Asbestos Purge was our wet cat food lid. Mr Engineer designed a slightly tighter new one, perfectly personalised for our picky pusses

He's a most excellent puss

JP has claimed my lap, so I guess I'm on the couch for a bit. Another sound option

Same for you, as always! Just got back from taking 93 yo FIL to the doctor and gonna go back to bed. Ugh.

💯 same for me

It always does!

Feeling down as we continue to deal with the asbestos debacle and elder care thing. I've signed up for #SecretSantaAoNZ to add a bit of sparkle and zest to look forward to

No bubble handwriting. Mr Engineer says mine is serial killer writing🤷‍♀️

The arm of a hand knitted sweater in marled ombre from green to purple

BINGO! Even when I knit...

Ice dyed dress in black, magenta, green, and red

Disruptive designs are the only reason I have anything to wear that LOOKS unstained. I ice dyed a lot of my clothes last year in good part due to this reason.

Extremely valid

What the hell are they planning?

me: a guy here was arrested for assaulting a woman while he was cosplaying as a nazi officer

Dad: what is cosplay

me: *explains*

Dad: sounds like a nazi who stopped "cosplaying" as a normal person

This man's ability to randomly say insightful thing while also putting cosplay in quotes is a trip

That's fantastic

#13DaysOfHalloween Day 4 is the black flying fox! This is one of the larger bats, found in Australia, Indonesia, and surrounding regions. They eat pollen and nectar (though may eat other plant materials when food is scarce), and while they’re not endangered, they are susceptible to heat stress 🦇 🧪

Look I’m not blaming anyone I’m just asking if anyone has checked the British Museum for the Louvre’s jewels

Kurt Vonnegut famously said that “History is merely a list of surprises. … It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again." But, honestly, a lot of history from below is written so no one continues to be surprised by these people, their existence, and their abilities in the future.

Sounds like the pilot was using the technique called "side slipping".

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Our front door look screams welcome! I only wish it was decoration for Hallowe'en and not a real asbestos decontamination zone.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Absolutely

I'm lying down in a dark, quiet room ATM, which helps

So much yikes. Curtains, rugs and linens are toast. Not sure about our clothes yet 🫤

It's definitely a whole thing

A concrete driveway blocked by orange cones, yellow warning tape that says "Danger Asbestos Dust Hazard", and a number of signs expressing more danger, PPE required, etc

Spa-like environment & extreme decluttering at ours. Builder figured out the siding had asbestos AFTER replacing 7 windows. We can't be in the house, partner who WFH can't work without access to his specialised set up. Cats & dog boarding. We are in the granny flat w/93 yo dad. Stress all around 🇳🇿

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.
