Kitty in pfp is my late Momo. I just adopted a dilute torbie named Gabi. All is in flux! Queer, disabled, nontheist (ex-vangelical), nerdy, depressive. Unusual likes: early music, black licorice, Tarkovsky movies. Pronouns: she/they kerendith many placeshttps://bsky.app/profile/kerendith.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/kerendith.bsky.social/post/3mlz3m6qvf22eSilly human. If you kiss the kitty's little head after you give her scritches, you *will* get loose fur all over your face. [Wipes.] Aaaaaaagh.

He often uses a bow in the game. I don't think he was using one when I conked out, but my sinuses were having a small fit and my brain had a split-second dream about taking an arrow up a nostril so I could breathe again.16 May 2026 03:35 +0000at://did:plc:gmoz3r2ev3rsyerc73tmd2ib/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlww4laahc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/kerendith.bsky.social/post/3mlvslsizu22qRuminant, postulant, lubricant, truculent, succulent, and desiccant (I have no idea.

One for Friday morning. Eep. It was that or August, though, and I think I can manage it. Just plan, be careful, take ibuprofen and Xanax, blah blah.

I went to Lowes, wanted to buy ferns, wanted to buy Gabs a toy opossum, but only bought clog stuff. Then I got tacos and went and ate them in the car at a park. How did I resist the toy possum?
