So, when I was a little kid I was afraid of black holes due to learning about them from astronomy books and the planetarium...and I'd see this at the video store and get scared, assuming it must be like the most terrifying movie of all time. And I guess I've still never seen it!

cat has burrowed so thoroughly into a blanket pile that only a little black tail is visible
world-class achievements in getting cozy are happening here
black cat underneath her favorite throw blanket on the couch. all tucked in
ah, living the good life (being a little cat under her favorite throw blanket)
ah, fake bands and fake songs, my favorite medium! oh man, these are great.
city bus driver, suddenly a parent to fifty local adults on their way to work: we have food at home
Misheard someone asking the bus driver “do you stop at MacDonald?” (street) as maybe the most perfectly goofy thing anyone could ask the bus driver, Can You Stop At McDonalds. rolling up to the drive thru and everyone’s shouting out orders for fries and shakes
plus you handle warmer weather like a 1000 year old vampire. drink some water
every year I find myself thinking like “what’s my problemmm, I shouldn’t be depressed when it’s a beautiful spring and/or summer day”, and no, you fool, this is an observable pattern. it’s the juxtaposition of a bright and joyful world outside casting your lowest feelings into harsh relief, dumbass

birthday girl bedtime
white cat and black cat on the couch together. on their birthday
birthday girl hangout
also definitely gonna remember this as the year I postponed making a cute post about The Cats’ Birthday for several hours due to the us president threatening crimes against humanity on a massive scale. what the fuck
Rose, a white cat, sits on the bed with a rainbow striped toy. it’s her birthday!
Luna, a black cat, sits on a gold blanket on the couch. It’s her birthday, too!
It’s Rose and Luna’s birthday, and my sweet girls are TEN. thank you for a decade together, babies. I’m so glad I got to bring you home and be your person.
spending easter appreciating the haircuts on circa 1980 price is rights as the Lord intended
it feels like a work in progress that's not quite ready for pictures yet...but it's getting there!
thank you! that's new-ish, and I'm so happy with it - it's velvet and just ridiculously comfortable
walking past a row of slick screens all advertising that, good news, this product comes WITH the built-in ai assistant, paid subscription model, and required Smart connectivity of my dreams. buddy, I came here for an hdmi adapter, and to reject you and all your works
this past year I've been enjoying setting up a cute retro media cabinet at home with non-smart TV, physical media, old nintendos, etc... and occasionally for this I'll stop into a store like a best buy for cables or something, and it's like a bizarre marketing shrine to all the bullshit I don't want
I hate AI so much.
So. Much.
Please stop trying to make me use AI.
I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮
I will die on this hill.
It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us.
I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.
living room with cats on the couch. three little strings of ikea fairy lights above the curtains and a cork board, right where an ethereal queen of an elven forest would put them
the enchanted living room, featuring two cats. I’ve been trying to make it a space that makes me happy to be in, and I think it’s pretty cute!
"...like I'm Galadriel in the elf realm of Lothlórien", thinks unremarkable woman switching on three strings of IKEA fairy lights in dimly lit apartment
I need to do some spring cleaning, but Luna has been obsessed with being in my lap all day. a perfect little curled up circle girl.
thank you for this important reminder to watch my yearly JCS
i can’t fully explain it, but this is just the right level of absurdity for a pet toy that’s meant to be a little funny
black cat playing with a soft toy soda can that’s orange and says “mice” like that’s a drink flavour
white cat sitting with a soft toy soda can that’s orange and says “mice” like that’s a drink flavour
my cats got this toy for christmas that looks like a can of orange crush but says “mice”, and you know what, it’s still funny to me every time I see it
Ooh, I think I watched both of these when they were new, but remember almost nothing of the plots…and I do like a good ghost or supernatural horror as much as a monster. maybe I’ll revisit them!
Right! It's so good. What else is one of these?
(thinking about the purple overalls blonde woman in Tremors who talks about wanting to set up her new pottery kiln) wait, WAIT, what a missed opportunity for an extremely chaotic monster scene where practical knowledge and the materials/equipment in a location are put to use
(watching Ripley in Alien) my gay little practical work overalls aren't enough. I need a utility jumpsuit
I haven't, but that sounds great!
... considering the subjective nature of this, since in my mind, watching Ripley in Alien single-handedly scores higher as "women" than 4/5 female characters surviving Tremors and two of those being some combo of smart/resourceful/violent. apples and oranges, tho, both pretty ideal monster movies
