my cat Coco looking down from her perch high atop one of my bookshelves, her paws are white and her eyes are bright

laying on the couch is lovely but it also means i have this fuzzy menace looking down at my unprotected stomach with glee in her malevolent little eyeballs

a selfie taken in the back-room of my place which looks like a squat in Brixton only with less of the charm, also uh don't uh don't pay any attention to anything on the background, i need you to focus on my MUSCLES

BEEFCAKE! BEEEEFCAKE!!

now i can't unsee that, and i've been showing my mom and nephew the CT scan of the little goblin living in my head >:)

i love this mug and it's Comic Sans looking font :D

i store the bulk of it outside, but tbh i haven't really had any issues with vermin from the wood, maybe because i wait until it's a bit later in the year to start bringing it inside? i'm mostly burning spruce+tamarack and i cut it it down before it gets too buggy

a POV of where im sitting on the couch in my living room looking at a toasty little fire in a wood burning stove, a big stack of wood on the shelf beside me, a fluffy cat sprawled on the floor, and a coffee mug dead center held by me. this place (a mobile home with an addition) was my childhood home and it sat unoccupied for 20 years, until the vagaries of fate tore down the miserable little life i'd made in the Big City (Edmonton lmao) and inveigled me to either rebuild these ruins with my own two hands or live in an RV until i died

all my bones hurt, and i don't ever want to think about chainsaws ever again, but the payoff is worth it 😌 weird to think that ~5 years ago this place had a collapsed roof, dry rot, a broken furnace, and a density of mice like unto the degenerate matter at the heart of a neutron star 💪😏

thanks to government shutdown it redirected me to tubgirl instead >:0

went to the dentist today to pay fat stacks of cash to get them to CB/CT (cock ball/cock torture?) my head and also it revealed that my sinus cavities are filled with sawdust/nanites/brain-wormz

wtf where did my left sinus go?!?!?! no wonder i have tinnitus and don't smell so good!

my hand throwing up th' horns in front of a big old stack of wood from all these dead spruce trees i've been cutting down at my parent's place, the whack perspective doesn't quite convey how fuxking big some of these logs are!

sure, i may have a BA in English, but my true passion is grueling physical labour ᕦ⁠(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)⁠ᕤ

a selfie of myself in the bathroom mirror pointing at a streak of white hair on my noggin, while holding a cellphone held together with duct tape and elastic bands, because im classy like that :3

i'm not holding an invisible gun, officer, i'm indicating the cool new stripe of white hair i noticed whilst brushing my teeth. and yes my phone is held together with duct tape and elastic bands, is that a crime now? this is democracy manifest! get your hand off my penis!

my outstretched hand, pale as a grub, pointing with grim intent at a lowly spruce tree, and to the right of my hand is a lovely Husqvarna 120 Mark II chainsaw resting on a sawed log, this is environmental storytelling to indicate that i am going to cut the spruce down and dismember it's corpse and burn him bones to keep my kitties from freezing solid

i took a break from bsky/twitter to gather firewood to heat my hovel o'er the cruel winter yet to come (i am serf-maxxing) and also so i wouldn't yell at so many losers on the internet, and i was (mildly) successful on both fronts! i also broke a chainsaw! more to follow!

a black and white photo of Salvador Allende,the president of Chile from 1970 to 1973, RIP buddy ;__;

a moment of silence to commemorate the assassination of Salvador Allende, the democratically elected Marxist leader of Chile, murdered by the US&A on September 11th 1973

some other stuff happened on 9/11 but the assassination of Allende is more important >:3

it feels so good and i usually turn a profit with all the coins and forgotten CBD gummies i unearth from beneath the seats (i found a mummified mouse once, that wasn't as much fun as the gummies)

*estradiol shoots out your nose cartoonishly*

if disliking podcasting is a test of morality then you can call me Adolph H-- um, that is to say, uh, and now a word from our sponsors!

sometimes when i'm irritated at the world i'm like "oh who gives a shit" and then the little rhetorical angel on my shoulder whispers "you, it's you, dumbass" and i just want to strangle the little jerk >:0

fast food places should do breakfast again from noon to 2 for those of us with reasonable sleep schedules (wakes up at 1:15pm)

a orange cats face peeps out from underneath my face, and i've got my arms wrapped around the tiny beast like a python of love

i was chewing on Geoffy's ears, but in a loving way :3

my hand holding onto my freshly-sharpened Husqvarna 120 Mk II chainsaw! also i'm wearing my exercising pandas pyjama pants, which i don't wear while chainsawing because i wear kevlar chaps because chainsaws are terrifyingly powerful

time for my world-famous pedicure!

🫂 this is good shit, Tyler, you're a great writer. i don't think my BA in English has ever felt as useless as it does these days

probably best to avoid AliExpress and Temu >:3

i can't trust myself with such power, i'm so easily corrupted by my idle whims

oh lord i didn't look at the price, that's way way too much cash to drown myself in a tangle of bendy plastic, i could wrap myself in a tarp and jump in a lake for like $20 easy

If we Communists only hunger for power, then why do we side with the powerless?

whoa how have i never heard of such a thing until now! i'm intrigued as hell -- they definitely don't look like anything i'd take on a fast-moving river but i'd sure like to try one out on a lake or creek 😯

M-M-M-Macbook

an orange cat wearing a blue harness is sitting in a bog and the fur on his chest kind of looks, imho, like he's got kitty cat cleavage (damn i wanted to spell that as "kitty kat kleavage"

okay so am i just imagining this or does my buddy here look like he's got furry boobs? 🤔

a post from r/CuratedTumblr about their kitty, wherein they relate a tale about trash talking they kitties food while the kitty is listening and the kitty makes a sad face, because sometimes what we enjoy isn't necessarily what's healthiest for us, like back when i weighed a lot more i probably made the same face when my mom pointed out that eating so many chicken McNuggets couldn't be good for my health

😿

i've had good luck in quietly quitting this place for a month or so and then coming back with a fresh(er) perspective, same as with forums or discord or watering my houseplants

🫂 this world we've had thrust upon us is a hard, cruel, implacable fucking place, without mercy or respite
