It's been a while since I shared any, so who wants some cat pictures?

Last week it was warm enough to open the windows and the cats were Intrigued:
a gray tabby cat and brown tabby cat looking out a window. The gray tabby is leaning over real far

Mirage Needs Her Scritches. This is not optional.
a brown and white tabby cat sleeping on a shark blanket, being petted by a hand

Springs' favorite sleeping spot, where she can stick her leggy out real far:
a gray tabby cat laying on top of a cat tree, with her leg stretched out

Tonight I used my Paid Journal Privileges and did a site search for recent posts mentioning Tumblr, found the ones from Tumblr folks obviously trying out the site for the first time, and commented on the posts to direct them to the newcomers comm OTL It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, especially 'cause I figured out a script, hehehe

...I did do it all on my phone, though. Maybe next time I'll actually take the extra few moments to turn my laptop on instead of Doing That.

Oh! Also: a haiku!

Good things can go bad
Yes, even those good things, too
But we carry on!

Will I manage to get out of this bed and go cook dinner at a reasonable hour? All signs point to no.

(I came home sick from work, took a nap, and I've been playing video games ever since. Being sick does not make me better at Super Mario Galaxy but it does make me slightly more patient because I can blame errors on "don't feel good" and not "bad at game".)

False spring got me :( A 40-degree drop in seven hours is brutal, even for Midwest False Spring, and between that and the thunderstorms winding up the cats, I did not sleep.

I was optimistically hoping to make it through a full day at work anyway, but it's been four hours and I'm already wilting. Come on, brain, just hang on for a couple more hours...

Cool, I really wanted to make decisions tonight about tornado sirens. I definitely don't need a good night's sleep. It's fiiiiiiine.

Just wanted to let people know that tomorrow's Iron Tower post is going to be delayed, definitely until tomorrow evening at the earliest, possibly until late Tuesday. I've had a very hectic weekend! Just wanted to give people a heads' up, especially in light of my delays in the last two weeks!

First, a haiku:

Block by smiling block
we build a community
resulting in joy

Second, the block party in question was a mini one hosted by a local voice/piano lesson studio, and they had little 15-minute demo lessons you could sign up for! I did one for voice, and we talked about that break between the chest and head voice (I think there's a term for that, but idr what it's called). We did a couple of voice exercises and I don't wanna forget them so I'm gonna quickly write them down here, lol.

Voice exercises for me~

wee-wee-wee-wee-wee (54321) [<- the EE is supposed to sound obnoxious]
ah-(oh)-ooh (1 -> 8) [<- the OH is implied; if you do it the break goes away 🙂]
*sing through puffed cheeks*-ee-eh-ah [don't blow out the candle while you do this]

something happened this weekend...
it's mostly a vent post. i'll readmore it just for the sake of that.
cw for discussion of lolisho (read; porn of underaged characters) and csa/csam (child sexual assault and material)( Read more... )ill be sad about it for a while, probably,
but i'm not entirely alone. i do have other friends, openly pervert friends, who have stood by me thru all this.
the so-called "dangerous crowd" im riding with, that consists entirely of traumatized leftie artists who want to be cute animals on the internet, huh
its just like. pisses me off. like what are we doing here, man...

as with all things tho, all i can do is move on. and keep creating...
im happier now that ive worked on unlearning all that moral ocd, stopped living in agony tearing myself apart over these hypocrisies..
and id rather be friends with people who want to support that healthy mindset instead of ppl who would assume the worst of me.

~~im taking custody of the otp in the divorce~~

This week: a really funny and delightful Sonic fic in which Shadow's allowed to have a sense of humor, and a beautiful Hermitcraft fic that nails the character voices so good you'll hear them speaking the dialogue in your head. Seriously, both of these fics are most likely going on my favorite of the year list, they’re so good.

One Ultimate Latte, Please by MeaslyFurball

This is the story of how Shadow the Hedgehog’s Starbucks order went viral.

Five days before the world ends, Cleo is redrafting the outer parapets with graphite staining her fingers into an unflattering shade of grey, and Joe is reading the Odyssey aloud.
Four days after the world ends, Cleo wakes up.

Also, as a bonus: A really really cool found poem made entirely with dialogue from the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!

...And a work on AO3 titled A Complete Guide to ‘Limited HTML' on AO3, which just saved my butt like an hour ago, lmao

Don't get excited; it's a haiku XD

A fic I'm reading that finished today had a poetry prompt of the author's own devising at the bottom so I gave it a spin. Even though I literally haven't written a poem since middle school ^^;

Regardless, the prompt was "Lost in translation":

Though those foreign words
in your tongue won't be the same,
you might as well try

Anyway you could also write a poem with this prompt right now, if you want. Or read the fic. It's a very very good Hermitcraft fic; the character voices are spot on.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Found a couple of "9 ___" meme things around social media and decided to try them out for fun. Basically, they're websites with a theme like "9 songs" or "9 games" and you input your choices and it'll export it as a 3x3 grid!

I initially posted these on Bluesky but I'll also show my picks here and talk about some of my choices below :")

Quick haul post heehee. Our local Daiso had MHA blind bag merch (?!?!) and my partner let me get at least one of everything they had except the stickers and the acrylic keychain. It seems like the collab was released in 2025 based on this tweet, and it took a year before my country got it on our shelves. I mean, I never even knew our local Daisos had anime stuff. Usually, it's just Sanrio. I'm guessing these are leftovers, though? Lol.

MG’s Note: First off, I’d like to apologize to everyone for missing out on last week’s post. Fortunately, I am fine, but my computer was in the shop! Fortunately, it’s all fixed now. Check out this post for more details.
