Been studying Japanese in earnest again, and I'm lamenting the lack of a nearby Kinokuniya. Gonna have to start hopping a plane to NYC every once in a while.

Here's Jack. He doesn't get featured much but he's a sweet little guy. He's had long term stomach problems for a few years, despite trying a bunch of things. Most recently we tried him on an FIP treatment and surprise surprise — it's working! Gaining weight and no more constant diarrhea 🥳

Let me join the masses complaining about the heat, but I'm having second thoughts about working from home today. It's gross in here. The cats are LOVING it though.

I finally caved and bought Expedition 33. I was going to hold off til I finished some other things, but the FOMO on this one is too real. I was also trying to hold out for a physical copy but that looks like a pipe dream at this point. Might start after today's ren faire?!

A little change of pace. I'm working from my bed right now because my cats were screaming for me to move when I was at my desk. One of my old men came up to sit with me for a little bit ❤️

Also inb4 "must be nice to work from your bed" I hate doing this. It ruins my back, and I want my monitor, lol. It is cute having them curl up next to me though

Same spot today, but a lot less sun so I tucked Baldur in. He's charging up for later, when he'll start screaming for attention during all my work calls.

If you're using public block lists, considering browsing and auditing them once in a while. I was just checking into someone who was inexplicably blocked by 1000+ people and they're on a political block list along with a lot of other random people who seemingly have no reason to be on it.

It always kills me on here when people are like "omg why are people I don't know replying to my posts. I don't want this!" Like...either go private or go to a platform with a different paradigm? Do some people just not know how this site works when they sign up? Have I been on the internet too long?

a “Full English” is when you prank a buddy by secretly filling their toilet tank to the brim with baked beans

My only gripe with the lack of an algorithm right now - and let me preface by saying it's not even in the same galaxy of bad as an algorithmic feed - is some posters post constantly and drown out others. Time to start making better use of the tools bsky has given me.
