This adorable lovely human whom I admire, makes delightful things and streams are like hanging out with a buddy. At the start of the last one, she read my book to kick things offand I feel so loved. Also, it has been too long since I got to enjoy her company. Had the VOD on as I went through email.

A stocky orange and white tabby Tabaxi in fighting stance with cutlass and dagger. He wears a blue wrap shirt with a collar and voluminous sleeves, and grey pants with stripes. He wears a red headband, sash, and pant wraps, as well as a dark blue fencing cloak with silver trim, and bright blue footwraps. He has a content expression. Text: Rufus Maynard
An anime style spot illustration of a black cat. The cat is sitting, tail curled around one leg, the other paw out. He has a judgmental/sassy expression and a white starburst marking on his chest.
An illustration of a Tabaxi (cat person) Druid. The Druid is centered in the image, holding a staff decorated with dead mice and feathers over his head. He wears brightly colored, rustically woven robes, color-blocked in an almost patchwork fashion. The background is dark and vague aside from some bushes growing on the ground behind the druid and a shaft of light coming down from center right.
A commission of a client's Tabaxi swashbuckling monk, a sticker commission for @kiricallaghan.com (for promo of her novel The Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic and Murder), and a painting of my own tabaxi character Twine!

A frozen cheesecake with a thick layer of lavender earl grey whipped cream and blueberries on top. There are little flecks of lavender and tea that snuck through the strainer in the whipped cream. The blueberries are all ass up
A triangle slice of frozen cheesecake topped with lavender earl grey whipped cream and blueberries. The whipped cream is melting down the side and there are more blueberries scattered on the white plate next to the slice
Just a frozen cheesecake from the grocery store because I can only be a menace in the kitchen so much in one day. But I topped it with the lavender earl grey whipped cream from @kiricallaghan.com’s book and some blueberries and holy shit it’s amazing

Good GOD.
One thing is certain, and it is almost trite in the cliche of it all. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and predictably, context is king.
Is this a color of joy? Or sickness? Rebellion or cowardice?
Every aspect of the story has a part to play and inform.
Yellow clothing/clothing items have historically marked stigma against various marginalized groups as far back as at least The Middle Ages, yet it has also been a symbol of royalty.
Yellow has such an intensely complicated history throughout the world—like any color, I suppose.
In Victorian times, it was seen as a shade of rebellion against repression, but also as a color of contamination—Oscar Wilde was shamed in headlines for carrying a “yellow book” when he was arrested.
When you have Für Elise stuck in your head and your ADHD thinks, “would it help if we pretended we’re playing it on the piano like we used to and probably don’t remember how?” And now it’s even further cemented in your brain but also piano fingering on your desk is kinda soothing, but also omg stop
Anyone else a little bit devastated when you realize too late that the notebook you bought has perforated pages and now you have to go against the grain of your brain that says, "Can't write in this, the more you open it, the more likely the perforation is to activate and you will lose that page!"
#ICE is LITERALLY in every corner of the Twin Cities right now. In case you don't know, here are the areas with the confirmed sightings as of 1/9/26 at 11:00pm: - Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan - Richfield/Bloomington - Midway/Frogtown - Como/Dale - East side/Maplewood - North Minneapolis - Shoreview Arden Hills - Blaine - Columbia Heights - Shakopee/Prior Lake - Inver Grove Heights - West St. Paul - South Saint Paul - Lakeville - Brooklyn Park/Brooklyn Center PLEASE stay safe! They are detaining and harassing US citizens so if you can help it, STAY HOME!
ICE is currently raiding an apartment complex near my home in Savage. Lots of children screaming. This is completely unnecessary. I'm certain these people being terrorized are hard working, law abiding individuals.
&S!#% &S!#% My brother's construction site was raided by ICE this morning and 6 people were taken (they came after he left to a new site so he didn't get taken, but some of the crew did). MN companies need to do a better job at protecting their employees. They know ICE is present visibily in the Twin Cities so they need to not send their employees to work until ICE ain't roaming the streets!! &$!#% &S!#%
Ice is on 24th right by the resource center just started beating on someone for being under a blanket @highlight And if you question me saying this I witnessed it with my own eyes! They headed Southeast. White Jeep wagoneer grayish blue I think Toyota minivan
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.
Me every time I write a footnote:
What if EVERYTHING was due early January? Does that work for you? ARE YOU STRESSED ABOUT IT?
...maybe.

Finally finished the Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic & Murder. An absolutely beautiful magical murder mystery by my friend @kiricallaghan.com . I highly recommend the book and will, without a doubt, read it again myself. And try the recipes. :)

Except that it wouldn't look like a promoted ad for Advil. It would provide a definitive "Oh, you have a headache? Take fourteen Advil in the next hour!"
There wouldn't be ad text, such as it is. It'd just respond definitively, and be totally wrong and dangerous.
And it's already happening.
Finally finished #TheHearthWitchsGuideToMagicAndMurder. While essentially "Sherlock" fanfiction, it is still an engaging, intriguing story that blends the infamous detective with fae lore & magic from various cultures. Good job, @kiricallaghan.com 4.5/5🍵
And possibly a third… or more 😉 Keep your eyes peeled fall 2026
We played a mystery game and man the main mystery was not NEARLY as emotionally compelling or interesting as the red herring
I am far from an expert but… your red herring should probably not be MORE compelling than the actual mystery. Unless that’s the literal point (ie “Glass Onion).

Doomerism can cause serious brain damage. I'm not joking and it's why I warn people not to fall into the doomer mindset.
