I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
an orange and white cat is laying down and is adorable. very furry.
Sandal also thinks your coworker and/or partner and/or family member was wrong when they did that thing you didn't like and he wants to hear all about it
There are four sun reflections with brighter crossed areas thrown on a mulched garden bed with a couple of bushes.
So what I'm guessing here is the treasure could be under any of the four, but the homeowner will come out and yell at you if you try to dig more than one hole. If only someone was here to give you a hint, you could at least make it a Monty Hall problem.
A picture of a door hanger for a roofing company. It is printed with a shingle pattern, and there is a leek (vegetable) with the most adorable eyes and smile, hands on his hips, urging you to schedule your free inspection. Who wouldn't want him on their roof?
Clearly this is a visual pun, but it sure looks like the company's mascot is the very thing it opposes.
And who would want to banish such a cute little guy anyway?
Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel!
It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights"
But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???
Continuing the theme of "race traitor mascots" from the packages of chicken nuggets sold by chickens

Let me tell you about my experience at a hot pot restaurant...
You both have...facial hair...
Having been there, I can assure you, you were not giving Jayne to me.
Delighted to be at @norwescon.org and discover a fellow silly sock enthusiast in @what-eats-owls.bsky.social!
If you want revenge, then dig two graves. the first one is a practice grave to get a feel for it and the second is your main or "show grave"
Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹
The view from a second-story landing down the staircase to the front door. The landing balustrade has a cream-colored cat fur fluff caught on it, picked out in sunlight.
Two cats curled up, reluctantly sharing a chair. One is mottled gray/cream and one is entirely black. With bonus mlem on the first cat I didn't notice until now!
CSI: Cat
Which suspect was at the scene?
A pile of furry brown bunny-shaped pillows, with two placed on top to show both sides: one side has a fluffy bunny tail and embroidered ears. The other side is a FACELESS BLANK.
The annual cycle has turned, it has entrapped us: the Easter Beast with No Face has come again. Wherefore does it come? It cannot feed, after all. Perhaps it can only breed to perpetuate the hideous cycle once more.
I've got a podcast for you!! I've been on it before myself, and they are delightful, it's called Writing About Dragons and Shit. @erinmevans.bsky.social is one of the hosts. Erin, meet Premee!

The 25 pages I sent wasn't wrong, then. Good! 😉
The website says 25 pages instead of 50?

Three ponies on a wood cabinet shelf. The "mommy" has pink hair and apple symbols, the "daddy" has yellow hair and tree symbols, and the "baby" has yellow hair with a pink streak and apple and tree symbols.
Six ponies on a wood cabinet shelf. The first "mommy" has pink hair and balloon symbols, the "daddy" has green hair and present symbols, and the "baby" has pink hair with a green streak and balloon and present symbols. The just family group of three is the same with blue and purple and heart and flower symbols.
I am slowly moving my childhood collections from my parents' house to mine, and while it's not currently a particular hobby of mine, I want--nay, NEED--you all to know that there is a set of My Little Ponies that I like to call the "Ponies Do Genetics" line and it is the best thing ever.
