As we enter the last week of Hugo voting, a reminder that October Daye is up for Best Series, and winning would be made SO MUCH SWEETER by the fact that I could take my trophy and inform the room "I'm going to Disneyland," then ACTUALLY DO IT, since Disneyland will be less than a mile away. WOW!

For #caturday. we have acquired two new cats that needed a new home. They are settling in after a week in their new digs. We are debating on new names for them. They are brother and sister. The half white tabby has a birth defect with their right eye.

A tabby cat with lower white colored body lounges on the carpet and is looking at the camera. His name is Clay.A stripy cat lounges on an ottoman. Her name is Goom, after the pokemon named Goomy.

i believe that the the entire "binge watch" model of releasing television series is based on a faulty premise, and that faulty premise has significantly devaluated television as an art form. stick with me on this one...

I grew up in a small town that didn't have any malls. There was an IGA with my last name on it where I first worked painting the signs for the front windows with the weekly specials, then graduated to sacking groceries and stocking the shelves. It was the first job for many a high schooler in town.

A picture of the store front of Whiteside's IGA in the early 60's. With IGA and Whiteside's in big letters. There are many 60s cars in the parking lot.

I know this app is 38 years old but who else worked at the mall. I had jobs at Electronics Boutique, Recordtown, and waited tables at our anchor restaurant which was a Ground Round.

Derek Guy is looking for help with Bay area cat rescues. I already donated to a local Phoenix area one (Lostourhome dot org), but if you are in the Bay area and are looking to adopt a cat or make a donation, please help them out.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

Two gray cats. One has their pawn on a person's knee.

The coaster sketches I got at tonight's @heroinitiative.bsky.social Drink & Draw. Punk Rock Black Canary from @austinackertart.bsky.social and a punk Green Arrow from @ryancody.bsky.social. I think @gailsimone.bsky.social would approve.

Coaster sketches of Punk Green Arrow and Black Canary from the Hero Initiatives Drink & Draw at Phoenix Fan Fusion. Green Arrow on the left in B&W and Black Canary on the right in color. GA has a punkish look while Canary is raising her right hand in a horn gesture with a snarl and holding a microphone in her left hand.
