the true celebrity loss in this thread is discovering @dvoraen doesn’t use dark mode to browse the forum 😱

You don’t pay my sub. I mean, you aren’t even current on your cat tax. (Pls geev Alucard pix to lighten the thread mood. In another thread.)

@Gashlycrumb This situation is more clear-cut. If I trap these cats I am actively taking someone else’s pet with all the legal issues that come with it. They (apparently) sleep the night inside, they just spend all day outside. On the plus side, I don’t envision them deliberately getting into my backyard again now that one of them has had first-hand experience meeting the doggo.

Also there are gaps between our side fences that cats can easily use to escape their backyard. The neighbours know about them and don’t care.

Alas, even though it won’t formally become My Fault if god forbid something happens to a cat at the hands of my dog because she’s kept in an enclosed yard on our property, it’s definitely going to be made My Problem.

@Pavel I referenced the Inner West Council site to find my info. Out in the far west where I am there’s jack-all in the way of stuff besides “go look at legislation”. Mind you, the inner west thing basically just transposed the legislation so it still applies.

After a long time of patience and effort, my physical degree was sent to me in the mail, and my happiness is immeasurable.

It hangs on my wall over my desk, right next to a framed autograph of Jeffrey Coombs, because the frames match and I am not being monitored adequately.

Mob Psycho thirded. I watched it with my son and we both looooved it, especially since Mob is more than a lil neurospicy-coded.

RL is eating me alive. I sustained what I am no longer in denial about it being a career ending injury several months ago, still doing my best to soldier through my remaining settled contract hours all while jumping into the abyss of despair that is job searching right now (and starting over in roles that I dont have 30 years of experience in). Ugh.

Sad to say there’s another one of these currently running for another member of the MU* community. If you’ve been on Ares games over the last few years, there’s a chance you know Cameron. And hey, if you won’t do it for him, do it for the cats. 🐈

GoFundMe: Help keep Cameron, his kids, and his cats housed!

@catzilla Who gave you permission to access my MU* TS logs?

@Wizz Look at that pretty kitty facey whisker facey face. ❤ 😻

Alucard is, indeed, the most facey whisker facey face 🥰

I didn’t even realize Crunchyroll did an Anime Awards, but it also dawns on me that any Award ‘show’ presented by an anime company is probably going to be heavily biased.

Is there an Awards show for Anime independent of the companies that produce it somewhere else?

Solo Leveling definitely doesn’t stack up to a lot of those other shows ‘nominated’, but I won’t deny that I enjoyed watching it. Personally, out of those options, I enjoyed Dan Da Dan and Kaiju No. 8 the most. Can’t comment on Apothecary Diaries because it’s honestly not my thing, and I’m not done with Frieren yet, so I’m still deciding on that one.

cool cool cool this isn’t problematic at all

honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.

Obvs the exact same, just Empathy is the Goop-filled Gwen so her death is a two-fer.

@Arkandel said in Book Recs:

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman was, in my opinion, excellent.

The Daughter’s War by Buehlman came out this summer and is a prequel to The Blacktongue Thief. Very different than the Blacktongue Thief, but very good.

The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman. Another take on the Arthorian legend. If you enjoyed the Magicians you’ll probably like this
