Mirri has an intense relationship with that squirrel toy

Hi Mirri!

I ordered a cute paw print blanket for Mirri, but the company sent a dogbone blanket instead. They apologized & sent a replacement--of the same ugly dogbone pattern. Should I keep going and risk a third blanket? How long before I'm buried in ugly blankets? Does the paw print blanket even exist??

Instead of giving your money to Amazon on Prime Day, why not support your local booksellers instead? Bookshop.org has my books and shipping is FREE 💫 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Mirri sleeps a lot more than I thought she did

There was already a ton of terrible advice for new game writers out there, but AI has made it so much worse. I saw an article yesterday that advised emphasizing creativity over skill in your application and just...NO. Ideas are cheap. Turning those ideas into games people can play requires skill

Mirri's going wild in there. The squirrel toy has resurfaced!

Mirri has a new favorite toy: a pink sparkle ball 😭

Gahhhh! She's playing and I have hundreds of screencaps already. She's so cute and photogenic 🥰🥰

Dinnertime!

Hi Mirriiiii💕

I’ve had a ton of birds nesting around my house this year, but this little lady is the cutest

So, anyway, I got a lottt done on my Coral Island farm today

Oh god. Today seems like a grreattt day to stay offline and do some reading

I found the mural with this nifty tool. Try looking up all the odd murals in your area

I think that’s one of the New Deal post office murals. It’s a whole thing: www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pos...

Appreciating America's Overlooked, Forgotten, and Discarded Post Office Muralswww.atlasobscura.com Painted during the Great Depression, they're lingering expressions of civic pride.

Mirri Update: She’s more relaxed these days but still wants to keep an eye on me

Had a book idea today, and I guess my burnout is starting to lift because I didn't immediately think "NO," scream, cry, vomit, etc.

Absolute scenes at the post office as the lone teller is taking half an hour with a single customer

I'm up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday to go to the post office. I don't know who I am anymore

I worked 4 days in the studio this past week instead of my usual 3 and I'm absolutely knackered. How did I use to work 5 days a week in the office? How did I do it?

My weekend plans are lying down next to Mirri's hiding spot and tryna make her fear me a little less by Monday

Hmmm

AI prompts can boost writers’ creativity but result in similar stories, study finds

Anybody have pet insurance they actually like? I'm on a free month of Trupanion, but have to decide whether to continue. I had Agria in Europe and they didn't cover any of Nixy's care

Tryna look cute for a meeting today but the air is soaking wet

Remember how I posted some top-notch weird little guys yesterday? Well we went to the Museo Nacional de Antropología & saw some way more ancient ones! Humanity loves a tiny funky pal!

I just a saw a post in which someone was saying their shelter cat was definitely a Maine Coon because it has an "M" pattern on its forehead. This is a myth! Any tabby can have an M, and there are many Maine Coons that do not have Ms. It's simply not tethered to reality in any way.
