Ya’ll. After a year of grief-fueled burnout I have a job that pays milkbones, but is a gentle balm on my soul: bathing dogs.

That is Bear.

(The cat formerly known as Bacon, Boo, and Brahms.)

Miescha.

Sagan.

(Also known as Cat Cena.)

Being able to step away from a hobby, chill the fuck out, and realize what you liked about it to start with. Being able to step back in after a couple months has been a good thing –

New job. New job. New job.

(Sorry Plath.)

I think he’s swell.

I saw Bear the magnificent beast you see pictured in a Suggested for You Local Cat Rescue Group. He was all black at that time. Had gotten over a case of mange. Is FIV+. Has a wonky eye and a snaggletooth and after I met him I learned he snore purrs like an old man eating chili and that’s how I knew he was mine.

Sagan, I adopted for my partner when I knew our dog Bell was old enough to tolerate a cat. And he was a dog person until he also discovered he’s also totally a cat person when I taught the boys how to sit on command and fetch whenever they want to play. After Bellhound, we now have his and theirs cats and it’s wonderful.

for @Babs because I am always and actively procrastinating on my librarian –

I have started playing Syberia.

@Roz

@Babs

THE ONLY BRACKETS I LOVE.

@Jennkryst

read over the rules.

does nothing for me.

trying to capture the edgelord vibes of the 90’s version of WoD seems tired, but that’s just my useless personal opinion.

@Gasboy

no. just smut positive. smut forward - if it were a wine. just a whine and that’s me, lol.

@Babs
