Anyway, happy Adoption Day to the terrible little guy who lives in my house!
I adopted Fiasco on July 7, 2022 and on his very first day in a strange new house he was the BRAVEST BOY
He settled right in, ate a full bowl of food, and let me cuddle him
HAPPY FRIDAY my people, today is a good day to pick up a book by a HUGE LARGE BUG!
"WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY BOOKS OUT" I don't know, do we want a little guide or something?? I can do that!

Thank you Saskatchewan!! (Also ignore me rubbing my hands together and crooning in my evillest voice, "Yes, yes, yessss... my corruption... spreads across the land...")
Ahahaha I may have accidentally found a way to keep the cat off the desk... I had to record a video this morning for one of my publishers so I went digging through my gadgets for my (very infrequently used) tripod to hold my phone

OKAY ALL DONE (no you don't get an open door shot, stop being perverts).

Anyway did you know that if you are procrastinating and you have a drawing program on your cheap little Android tablet you can just... draw anything you want

Ahahaha it is wet and blowy today but there are SO MANY magpies outside! A whole little teenage gang.
(This isn't all of them, there's another five or six on either side of the frame that I couldn't fit in.)
OKAY THERE we got all the books up now for the year SO FAR
Still one more to go! I hope people are excited for my @psychopomp.bsky.social MINI-COLLECTION in the fall! 💀
PHEW waiting for an invoice to be paid and it came in right when they said it would
Hey @gianttourtiere.bsky.social it's SO NICE that the Federation is still paying me even though I'm in the brig! :)
If you see this post your pets!
A pet losing his last marble over the TERRIBLE TRANSPARENT FORCEFIELD that SEPARATES HIM from the rest of the WORLD (the other door to the living room is wide open as it always is, he is not trapped)
Unrelatedly, yesterday's 'KEEP IT IN THE GROUP CHAT' and 'WHY CAN'T GROUP CHATS BE NORMAL' discourse confused me a bit because I'm like "Wait, are everybody else's group chats not about Azhdarchids, or"
