This looks fantastic!

Photo showing the head of a shorthair grey tabby popping out from under a blanket. Nose is the focus followed by his pink bottom gum. Eyes look distorted from the angle.

Owen nose bloop.

I vote that we feed the rich who live off the work of others to the Yule Cat, since they’re definitely not contributing anything of value to society. Eat the rich Yule Cat!!

Reverse side of collage. Head of a black cat peeks over the bottom edge. Background is the brown cardboard

The Yule cat was traditionally used as a threat and incentive for farm workers to finish processing the wool collected in the autumn before Christmas. Those who took part in the work were rewarded with new clothes, but those who did not would get nothing and thus would be prey for the Yule cat.

A square collage of a big black cat in front of various sections of blue mountain like background and pale tan or blueish scenes from a Japanese style water scene. Text on the cat spell out “Yule cat is watching you” with different letters cut out from different images, thus not matching.

First art of the year! Yule Cat calendar collage.

The Yule cat (Icelandic: Jólakötturinn or Jólaköttur) is a huge and vicious cat from Icelandic Christmas folklore that lurks in the snowy countryside during the Christmas season and eat people who didn’t receive new clothing before Christmas Eve.

Out of the 29 pins in the container, someone bought this one. (And another non-cat pin) good thing there’s 2 with similar ginger cats. I was going to show you this one, but you had already left.

Question: is there an image for this? Or are you just teasing us with a description?

My Heart BEETS for You, beet brownies

Red sign with black text saying “history has it’s eye on you” With an image of an eye in the style of one of the cover art editions of the book 1984 instead of the word “eye”

Sign with white background and black and red text saying “stop funding genocide” with a red handprint

My signs for the local protest march & rally! One side is my continuing protest sign theme of anti genocide & the other was inspired by the musical Hamilton and a book cover art for George Orwell’s book1984

The doctor will see you now

Because when the world’s gone up in flames, food pics don’t make the flames bigger.

Creamy Garlic Chicken with roast cauliflower

Closeup of 2 cats on a bed covered in a shower curtain. Calico cat is on top of curtain, gray and white tabby is beneath the curtain.

Kitties! I call them my “calico cinnamon roll” (she often sleeps in a sphere form) and my “turnover kitty” (you have to turn over covers to find him)

Everyone pictured here thinks they’re a cat. We got the Corgi Toasted Loaf (culturally raised a kitty since 8 weeks haha), the calico Cinnamon Roll, & the gray tabby Turnover (cause you need to turn over a blanket, or in this case a shower curtain, to find him.)

Roast Cauliflower & Garlic soup with baked Salmon

This (posting anything here) feels like a waste, but here is Nealan channeling his inner cat

Who knew cooking a whole bird could be this satisfying? 10/10 the tenderest chicken I have ever made!

It looks really good so far!

We remember.

Sesame noodles with jammy eggs and pickled radish (and other toppings!) recipe from memoir “Group Living and Other Recipes” by Lola Milholland — I definitely recommend!
