This was the tiniest bite but a very soft and pettable cat so almost worth it.

Not his fault! Just a little tiny bite and I got unlucky with it.

I am. I am so squicky about hand things but they did such a good job!!

This turned out to need a minor specialist surgery and 2 nights in the hospital.

Endless gratitude NHS for fixing my hand without bankrupting me.

Still gonna pet cats. Probably not this same cat, though.

looking to take on some fun, fractional design/frontend work in the coming months. if you wanna collaborate on something lovely that's not just another ai tool then drop me a lil intro at hugs@scott.is.

i'm especially interested in smaller design system (especially 0-1) bits.

The optometrist asks how many hours a day you look at screens now?

When did this become a thing? I was not prepared for the self reflection this question prompted.

Also, what does this face say, please?

Related fun(?) facts:

Apparently even extremely minor cat bites are infection prone.

I have a weirdly specific fear of hand/finger damage.

The NHS has a reassuringly terrifyingly thorough process for any hand injuries.

You could buy it but you would also be acquiring the responsibility of preventing me from getting ahold of it.

A small, square grey and silver inkwell made of a banded agate stone with an inscription on the face in perso-arabic script. Does it look like candy? No. Does it look tasty? No. Then why do you want to put it in your mouth? The post says no questions will be taken on this point.

I won't be taking any questions on this, but I have never wanted to place an object in my mouth more than this 10th century inkwell.

Reading a preprint chapter on neuroscience and learning looking at how digital memory offloading and distractions impact learning processes and it's got me pledging unkeepable screentime resolutions like it's Jan 1st.

Actually hopeful about a[n upcoming, not yet public] tech project and love how this feels.

I haven't been unreservedly hopeful about anything in a while and this is nice.

Weird, but nice.

First pottery class and I have already been injured in the most on-brand way possible.

Bitten by the shop cat after being lured in by his v convincing cuddling + purring performance.

I feel that the photos provided demonstrate that he would like to sleep on my couch and eat popcorn while we watch 70s horror movies.

Gonna show your reply to the cops if they stop me for walking around with him cradled to my chest like a sleek and stylish infant.

A very soft urban fox, sleeping peacefully. This photo was taken at a very close distance. The fox looks almost indescribably soft and pettable.

Is there any legal reason I can’t touch a fox in England? There’s not a law against it or they don’t all secretly belong to the queen or something?

I am also not used to experiencing hope in 2026 and always find myself looking for downsides instead of experiencing brief flashes of joy.

It seems like a good time (for me, at least) to experiment with how hope could feel!

Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said migrants helped "build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire".

What an unexpected joy, seeing countries making kind, humane and sensible steps to normalize the status of their migrant residents

Knowing that Lidl owns a successful cloud computing org (https://stackit.com/en for sensible historical business reasons made me assume the AllBirds pivot to providing AI cloud services would also be based on something equally reasonable but...no?

Just going from shoes to AI...for reasons?

I'm old enough to remember when going online felt like a fun little treat and I just want to get back there. I want everyone to be there with me.

A soft little fox, lying calm in a cute little bundle in a some light foliage, very near to the photographer. The fox looks very soft. So soft. Any reasonable person would want to pet this fox.

Pupdate: I love him so much, I bet I could pet him. Surely nothing bad would happen. I bet I could kiss him right between the ears. I should bring him inside to live in my house. I should give him my wallet.

Dudes earnestly but poorly practicing musical instruments are the high priests of this faith.
