I've been wanting to play it! Just, uh. Employment lack. So borrowing it from the library is doable! Buying, no.

I somehow forgot that the library system has PS5 games, so I've placed holds on all the stuff I've wanted to play but couldn't afford to buy currently. Metaphor: Refantazio, Clair Obscur, BG3, Veilguard...

Pls check out your local library! They have a so many resources and maker spaces you can use for free! If there’s a community you want to give back or support, pls consider your local library! Donate money or volunteer your time! ❀️ Public libraries do so much for communities!

A photo of a person from top down, showing the person buried beneath three animals, all arranged on their legs. There are two Ragdoll cats, fluffy white and grey, partly loaded on a blue towel. Further down the person's legs is a small black and white Papillon dog. You can vaguely see the outline of the person's legs beneath the towel and a grey and white blanket.

When I say I'm trapped by my pets' opinions, this is what I mean:

I can print them for you if you want. Send me the files and I'll get started, and either come down before FF@home with them, or figure something else out.

Two-panel comic featuring a fluffy black cat with big round eyes against a blue-to-purple gradient background.

Panel 1: The cat looks directly at the viewer with wide eyes. Text reads: β€œWith everything going on right now…”

Panel 2: The cat gently closes its eyes with a calm expression. Text reads: β€œI hope life still leaves room for some goodness in your day.”

Plagg from Miraculous Ladybug (parkour with yo-yo magical girl series? Always fun), Barque-Cats from Anne McCaffrey's Talent series (aka where she snuck her Maine Coons into that series), Maomao (the actual cat) from Apothecary Diaries, and, of course, Warrior Cats (I think FelineFractious@tumblr-

Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew

A photo of a Papillon dog and a Maine coon cat curled up on a bed, sharing a blue towel as a pillow. The cat is larger than the dog, and they both seem very content.

A photo of a warm grey and white (seal lynx bicolour) Ragdoll cat looking at the camera sidelong from where she's curled on a grey and white blanket. She looks suspicious but also quite comfy where she is.

Oh, yes. And *definitely* don't brush your teeth immediately after an acidic drink (pop, most fruit juices) as the acid weakens the enamel even more than just regular food.

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically They just… blocked me. Like I’m some kind of annoyance, rather than the iconoclastic and fascinating truth-teller which I know myself to be.

bogleech: One of these is a magnificent machine designed for utility, towing, and all around blue collar work. The other is a useless status symbol. SAME BED SIZE. (Below is an image of a Kei Japanese imported truck that looks well-used next to a pristine Z-something midsized Chevy truck).
Saw this Truck Discourse on Facebook and I'm not part of that world but yea that one on the left is delightful and I really had noidea just how wasteful and pointless the other kind is until this comparison.
fucking-what: 
Image of a work truck with listed attributes Downward sloping hood.
Advantages:
- More aerodynamic, letting you go faster & spend less on gas.
- Better road visibility for seeing children and obstacles
- Less deadly if you hit someone
- Lower lights don't impede other drivers' vision

And an image of a modern pickup GMC on the right, labeled High front hood.
Advantages: Lets you feel really tough, like a big boy.
Below is another photo with the caption 20 Years of pickup truck design progress in one photo. The images is of an older, smaller pickup truck next to a much larger, more modern pickup truck.
crevicedwelling: it's so sad that they've been selectively bred for size and aesthetics over their health. look at that pushed-in muzzle - there's no way the one on the right can breathe properly
