Cardigan is slowly growing! Just finished the left front, not sure I can face casting on the right front today though #knitting @knitting

Work in progress hand-knitted cardigan pieces - back underneath and left front piece on top of it, Fair Isle pattern lines up on both pieces, thankfully

@artcollisions don’t hide too deep!

Four years ago
my office emptied
as we were told
to work from home
and though those days
were lonely ones
there was a comfort in knowing
that so many of us
were doing the same thing
but now I sit in an office
surrounded by sick coworkers
and these days
just feel even lonelier.

This week's new writing.
Part scream into the void, part manifesto - we really need to talk about internet 'content'.

You don't *need* to remember Geocities or JenniCam, or when Amazon was still a bookshop to enjoy this but if you do, it may be right up your street!

@SallyMonster Thank you!

I finished my #SlipstravaganzaBlanket it took 3 winters of work to get this to #FinishedObject

I started this during a dark part of Covid lockdown and depression in my life so I picked the brightest colours I could to bring some of that into my life.

I’m so happy to have completed this and I love how it turned out and how well it looks in my bright new home.

@grissallia @catsof thank you! Mayday is the sweetest pretty little lady and she has ridiculously big ears!

I’m really like Cloudpunk my boyfriend recommended it and it’s definitely a winner

A tabby cat with oversized ears point up while she sits in a patterned rug in front of a little wooden box.

The pointy ears give her a very alert but also innocent expression

A tabby cat who has fallen asleep with her head in the arm of a person. The cats body curled against the arm

Today was a good day. Did some #obs streaming for church then played #DnD with friends and returned to this little goofball who kept me company while I played some #Cloudpunk #VideoGames @catsof

Her belly exposed and front paws folded up toward her chest while she sleeps in a bizarre and uncomfortable position

-20 years ago, working as a server, I
lived in a corner 1 bdrm apt downtown with amazing water views for $700/month.

-A similar apt now $3,600/month, more than 5x as much.

-As a lawyer at age 47 I am unable to afford living in the apartment I did at age 27 while waiting tables

@elvo86

I definitely understand

neither of my partners is super local one is a plane ride away and the other a 45 minute drive.

I will say most days and nights I absolutely love being able to do whatever I want and having downtime to do my hobbies

I hope you find a lot of that same independent joy

The hardest part of my week now that I live alone is Saturday nights.

All my people are busy with their other lives and I can end up feeling second best and alone.

I’m working Saturday so I spent my Friday off going to the Aquarium with my nephew. Oh and cuddles with my cat! #catsOfMastodon #Aquarium

A tabby cat lies on her side on a bed her 4 paws stretched out in front of her with sleepy half closed eyes.

A huge wall aquarium filled with kelp and fish darting through the colours are shades of green with light streaming in from the top left

An aquarium filled with pink anemones and green sea urchins that all look like muppets or shower poofs

A deep blue field with 2 small jelly fish swimming together in a pink/purple hue

I used to fall asleep by imagining a world I wanted to inhabit in my dreams.

Lately my imagination has been broken. I don’t read much, I have a hard time focusing to journal. But I sleep terribly because I had to be exhaled to sleep now

Some selected moments from my weekend. It was better than last weekend and somehow felt more stable also I got my hand snagged by a cuddle bandit!
#catsofmastodon #catsodon #weekend #WeekendVibes

Homemade tofu Pad Thai one of my favourite comfort foods.

I do some streaming on the weekends and I kind of love getting to be techie regularly.

A bed with blue sheets a fireplace and bookshelf against the far wall.

On the bed there is a tabby cat with its leg wrapped around the hand of someone petting her belly.

Her expression is one of sleepy contentment at the rubs

I will miss the world that is disappearing

The golden journey of my childhood and the fading away of those who were there to see it

After losing my uncle a few weeks ago I’ve been thinking a lot about death & legacies

There was an estrangement and so I didn’t know my uncle very well but he reminded me of my grandpa

And that’s what keeps sticking with me there is one less person in the world to remember my Grandpa and the little family that he built with my grandma.

A family that sometimes referred to itself as a hotel for the number of teens that washed up on the shore of their family life

This was my view with my cuppa this morning. I’m coming around on apartment life!

@keira_reckons @Walican132

Thanks! The teacher I had was great some instruction then put on some music and let us practice while she came around with some tips or support. Really a nice way to spend a couple hours after work

@Walican132 there’s a local school of art that runs adult classes in the evenings they run a series called X for the Petrified

So this was Drawing for the Petrified and they have Painting, Pottery etc and it’s just 4 weeks and they provide all the materials so you don’t buy a bunch of stuff for a hobby you might not enjoy

I took a class to learn to draw this month and while I’m not going to make a living at this I feel so much more comfortable doodling in my notebooks and like I can keep enjoying it going forward
