I'm taking a new med, NOT for weight loss, and one of the side effects I got was it killed my appetite. I'm just not hungry. I will still feel awful if I don't eat, which eventually gets me to, but just, no desire to eat at all. It's not ideal. Especially as someone who works out 5 days a week.
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
Do you have Star Trek OC's and would you love having a space to show your OCs? This Application is not based on skill so a portfolio is not required! ✨Contributor Applications Here!: forms.gle/mhXZKb5fTfEi... ✨ @zinepromo.bsky.social #atozines @allfandomevents.bsky.social
We did an exercise in flexibility class where we went from a plank into a straddle, sit down in the straddle, and then had to push back up, pull your legs back, and go back into the plank. I managed it ONCE, and face planted doing it, but I did it. (It's really hard. We were all struggling with it)
Decided to take a bunch of classes online to beef up my skills. It's not the same as walking around cool cities, but it's something.
I made a cheapskate's matcha latte by using matcha and french vanilla coffee creamer (we do not have milk.) It's...fine.
Whatever you do don’t take me to The Island from The Prisoner! I’d hate to live in a cool rent free apartment full of bold late 60s modern furniture haha noooo a bubble don’t chase me haha

Hey #birdsky I had two nests in my eaves, and both now seem to be inactive. Can I clean the nesting areas up or should I leave them? One has a lotta bird poop, so I'd obviously use a respirator, gloves, and bleach, but I'm not sure if I should touch it. They're House Finch nests.
I was having a hard time with a combo yesterday and was like, I'm pretty tired (hammock Tuesday, invert conditioning followed by Lyra Thursday and weights Friday) and she was like "because we're _older_ we have to be mindful of how often we train." And I about turned to dust right there.
I'm very happy that my kids talk to me. I'm less happy about it being in a string of unbroken sentences that start the moment I get up, do not cease when I am in the bathroom, and continue until they run out of shareable thoughts.
Friends in the Spokane region: GET READY, STAY READY, AND GO WHEN TOLD! DO NOT FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT THE HARD WAY.
Evacuations from the Meadowview Fire have now merged with evacuations from the Old Trails Fire. These are Level 3 (GO NOW!) evacuations.
I should get back to drawing Trek. It's fun, I enjoyed it, but I think I really enjoyed 90s Trek most, so maybe I need to rewatch Next Gen/DS9/Voy again. Find that spark
I'm sorry, but I have to discuss Star Trek on the internet. I even wore my Ketracel White shirt today, so, ofc I have to discuss DS9. (I also had to explain that shirt, which was awkward)
Oh. I need the discourse on this to be JUICY.
(season 7 excepted)
Did not get a table at a show like I was hoping to, so I guess that means I have now time to make new stuff. (And figure out wtf I'm doing... 🤣)
The fires in Spokane County are already destroying homes as it has jumped the river and crossed into the city. Please keep us in your prayers. Read us for updates or follow me on Instagram for video. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
'Never seen it this bad': Thousands evacuated in north Spokane as wildfire crosses river into city
A wildfire driven by high winds jumped the Spokane River Saturday afternoon, burning homes and quickly moving into the Indian Trail Neighborhood.

I made another quip. IDK if anyone sees these things. I also don't think I can add alt text, so I'll do that in the comments. www.patreon.com/DHooverArt/p...

I want make pretty comics, but I think I make comics in the same haphazard way that I see them in my head. Sometimes that works, a lot of times it doesn't. I haven't found the right combo yet, but I'm getting closer I also think my early manga influences impacted how I think of panels
embracing my messy stream of consciousness style journal comics. I have always wanted them to look more clean and professional, but I guess they just aren't meant to be like that.
Alpha jokingly claimed I didn't understand music, after playing me an awful clip of two kids singing balls into a crappy mic, and so I responded by finding and playing a clip from "parents just don't understand" I can out cringe you, my son, and I will.
Pegged a Trekkie in the wild before seeing that yes, yes, they got into the car with a hat covered in pins laying on the dash, and one of those pins was a delta surrounded by a rainbow. (They were in a kilt. Look, I know my people)
I've been working on a very short comic, off and on, since around noonish, and it's amazing how long it takes to just sketch, ink and finish off a tiny page. I didn't even do backgrounds, but I'm not sure I'll finish it today.
My pharmacy, despite seeing my gender anytime they pull up my records, has decided that I'm a dude. So ok, I guess I take all pronouns now because whatever, I'm just here for my meds. (I have explained that I am the patient, but I no longer care to keep doing that) 🤷🏻♀️
keep thinking about the evil of this. It's not just destroying the physical books, bad as that is. They are trying to remove the underpinnings of knowledge, destroy all the accumulated wisdom - and silliness, and creativity, and whatever else humans have thought worthy of writing down.
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Listening to the Backrooms OST while working and Old Home Not Yet Built sounds so much like Still Life, I had to stop and check. It's that same haunting melody with different overlays.
I awoke from my sleep to hear such a clatter I grabbed a flashlight and ran downstairs to see what's the matter A gray cat it was, in the window just there His back all arched with the standing of hair Another cat he had seen, outside the the yard
Walked through a wall to a different liminal space.
