she/they, a bird that writes. tech support class (CHA build) i work hard so my self can have a better life.

An older ragdoll lady cat, a lilac point I think, sitting on sunlit tarmac, looking very dignified and like she is wearily accepting worship from her inferiors (it's me I'm the inferior)
a somewhat pixellated close-up from the previous photo, showing Tomoe the tabby calico kitten with a grouchy, just-woken-up-from-her-nap expression on her tiny little adorable face.
A sunlit window, with a striped orange-red chain l curtain drawn over it. Cast on the curtain by the light, the shadow outline of a certain kitten is visible, especially her big pointy ears.
Ishtar, seal point siamese cat, daintily loafed up on the cushion of the Ikea chair I just put together and that she just clawed at for a solid ten minutes. Tomoe, dilute calico cat, looks on from the corner of the nearby dining table.
An extremely poorly drawn comic panel. It has nothing in it save for recently rough pencil and pen writing that just says "AAAAAAA" in many different sizes, shapes and directions. The panel is captioned "I HAVE HAD A *LONG* DAY"
Tomoe the tabby calico kitten, sound asleep on the back of a sofa. Her face is mostly orange with grey ears, a white throat, and a splodge of grey across her nose. On her body, her coat is a mix of more brindled areas and bigger chunks of orange and grey mackerel tabby stripes. She looks very cute and long and fluffy, especially her tail, ringed mostly with grey tabby rings with little flashes of flame orange.
A photo of the Dreaming Spires statues in front of the OMNI centre in Edinburgh, on a cloudy day. They are sculptures made of black scrap metal, of an adult giraffe and its young, standing very tall on their long spindly legs, very graceful. Cast in the pavement around them, in a circle, are a few lines from a poem by Roy Campbell.
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, stretched out on the floor looking very Long. She's looking straight up at the camera with her cartoonish little face. She's so cute it feels almost excessive.
A selfie of me in my pyjamas eating a bowl of cereal. Mysteriously, a small tabby calico kitten is resting her front paws on my arm and gazing deeply into the Cheerios. Not because she wants to drink the milk, oh no, not at all. She'd probably scrying or something.
Ishtar, seal point siamese cat, looking at the camera with an unimpressed, maybe even judgemental look in her eyes. Her back, paws, face and ears are a very deep brown, while the area around her chest and throat fade into a pale creamy colour. She looks very beautiful and also a bit like if you put your ear next to hers you could hear the wind blowing through.
A thicket of various weeds and shrubs with a bright blue lead trailing into it. If you look closely you can see the hind end of a tabby calico cat perfectly blending into the ground below
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, flopped oh the carpeted floor of my flat, looking extremely tuckered out.
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, standing on a patch of bare earth under a tree, looking very intently at something out of frame. She's wearing a little blue harness and lead combo.
a classic meme, a screenshot of three direct messages that say: 'i ain't reading all that. i'm happy for u tho. or sorry that happened.'
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, lying on the floor, being all long and stretched out
A photo from Wikimedia Commons of a completely plain pound cake on a white plate on a white table. The most delicious cake ever created.
Shoulder Time with Tomoe: a selfie of me, a white person with faded green hair and glasses, and Tomoe, a tabby calico kitten. She's flopped over my shoulder and looking with great interest at a point out of frame (there was a bird in the window)
The wall of my office, with two very thin black bookshelves and a large print in a black frame showing Helvetica Blanc's piece, "Make Something". The art is a highly abstracted comic page of sorts, in cream, black, and red, its style almost calligraphic. The panels show drops of a red liquid progressively forming a deep pool. At top left, a crown of thorns with a single eye spreads out its wings, framing the page. Its words run through the page, just a few per panel: "If you want to make something big, first make something small, and something small, and something small."
A bush with a still-wrapped world-cup-themed Panini sticker book stuck in it
Tomoe's little pink nose EXTREMELY blown up and super blurry in the hopes of making you understand just how impossible cute it is that her nose has a tiny little spot of grey in the pink. She has a big splodge of grey on the her face and it just touches her nose. So a tiny little bit of the side of her nose is grey when the rest is pink. This is the most important fact I can impart upon you.
Tomoe the tabby calico kitten, snuggling a hot water bottle and looking super sleepy. She's wearing a mulberry-coloured surgical recovery suit (because she got spayed and picked at the wound) that makes her look even cuter. Seriously though I cannot overstate just how cosy and sleepy she is looking in this picture it's unbearable.
A selfie of me, a white person with faded green hair, lying down on a pile of cushions, with Tomoe the tabby calico kitten lying on my stomach. I'm rubbing my eyes and looking pretty rough with circles under my eyes. Tomoe is wearing a mulberry-coloured surgical recovery suit because she picked at her stitches after getting spayed.
A top down, rather dark photo of a small but extra fluffy long-haired tabby cat called Osito. He's curled up on my lap; I'm out of frame but you can see my hand reaching out to pet him.
video of a blustery rooftop. someone (me) says "behold! the babies." and then zooms in, showing a pair of very young seagull chicks scooting along the roof. they are extremely cute and look like tiny fluffy rocks that move.)
A French shepherd with his multicoloured flock of Ouessant sheep, most of them white but a few of them fawn or brown. They are extremely tiny sheep that only come up to his knee because of how wooly they are. The sight is deeply incongruous, like this guy is just really *really* tall. But no. it's just the sheep that are extremely tiny. Photo: © D. Morzynski
A brief video of Tomoe the tabby calico kitten in a garden, jumping off a bench onto the ground as she chases a bug
A selfie of me, with my face obscured by the rather worried-looking tabby calico cat clinging to me. We're outside in a shared garden kind of area, with building all around.
A sketch of a highly stylised boar inscribed with mystical squiggles and surrounded by divine flames. It'll look better once I've coloured it in.
Tomoe, a tabby calico kitten with very similar markings to the photo shared by catsofyore, peacefully snoozing on a pillow, next to a windowsill. She has white paws and a white bib, with the rest of her covered in striped blotches of pale peach and deep steel grey
A selfie of me, a white person with green hair and glasses, holding Tomoe, a teeny tiny 2-and-a-half-months old tabby calico kitten, in my arms. At that point she was about as long as my hand from fingertip to wrist, ie very very small.
A selfie of me, a white person with faded green hair and glasses, slouched on a sofa reading a book. Tomoe the tabby calico kitten is lying across my chest, looking very comfortable. She's wearing a dark grey body suit that matches her grey stripes rather elegantly. (The suit is to stop her or the other cat from worrying at the stitches on the surgical incision from her spay.)
A selfie of me, a white person with faded green hair and glasses, reading a book, with Tomoe the tabby calico kitten on my shoulder. She's also looking at the book, so it looks like we're reading William Gibson's Pattern Recognition together.
Another selfie of me with Tomoe the cat on my shoulder, but this time her eyes are shut and she's got one paw hanging down. She is a-snoozin' like a villain.

A little tabby calico cat, deeply ensconced in a pile of blankets so that only her adorable little face is visible. She looks extremely comfy and also really sleepy, with half closed eyes.
A very tight close-up on a tabby calico kitten's face. She's cosily curled up on a blanket and her pupils are VERY dilated. Because of the angle of the camera her nose looks really long which only reinforces the silly effect. This cat is on, like, so many drugs, dude...
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, is sprawled out sleeping on a blanket. Ishtar, seal point Siamese, is laying perpendicular to her and using her shoulder as a cushion. Both of them are asleep and look relaxed and comfy af.
Ishtar the seal point siamese cat and Tomoe the tabby calico kitten, squished together on a green blanket with a woodland print on it. Ishtar is lying curled up on her side while Tomoe is in a particularly ridiculous "cat may require assembly" pose. They are both looking extra comfy and extra relaxed.
A juvenile crow strutting along a beach with a large chip in its mouth. It looks extra fluffy and extra bedraggled in the way only young crows can.
A kind of blurry video of Tomoe the tabby calico kitten at like 2.5 months old, clambering over the top of the coats hanging in the wardrobe (a crime)
Tomoe the tabby calico kitten lying on a bed in the classic "some assembly required" cat pose, except the extra stretched out version. The front half of her is side-on, with her forelegs, one striped dark grey and one striped a peachy orange, reaching forward, fully stretched out. Her white belly is fully exposed, showing a few splotches of dark grey and apricot colour on her sides. her hind legs, splodged with grey, are also maximally stretched out. Her adorable face, with a smudge of dark grey on her nose, has a completely relaxed, blissful expression, and the angle makes it look like she's smiling. You would never believe looking at this photo that she attempted to kill two of my plants today.
A selfie of me, a white person with green hair and glasses, wearing a cream-coloured tshirt with a design by Sonny Ross, showing St George astride his proud steed, stabbing a dragon in the mouth with his lance. The illustration is captioned "SHUT UP" and has bright, acid colours, a bit like really old playing cards from the 17th or 18th century.
A digital drawing, by me, of a stylised pigeon loafed on the ground. It's very round and blorbular, with a slightly gormless, head-empty-no-thoughts sort of expression. There's a glowing crown floating above its head, in magenta, yellow and cyan (accidentally) reminiscent of the pansexual flag. I use a cropped version of this drawing as my profile pic!
A selfie of me, a white person with green hair and glasses, laying on my side in a bed with lots of pillows and a few plushies. There's an e-reader in front of me with a page from Priest-Queen by Juniper Butterworth on the scree. A very fluffy, very snoozy tabby calico kitten, Tomoe, is laying alongside me, between me and the e-reader. From that angle you can't really tell she's asleep so it looks like she's reading too.
Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, sprawled out on her side in front of an e-reader showing a page of Priest-Queen by Juniper Butterworth. She is completely and thoroughly passed out and very relaxed, and with the camera angle she looks a bit like she's smiling.
A tabby calico kitten looking at a russian tortoise, looking very confused.
A selfie of me, a white person with green hair and glasses, lounging on my sofa, with my seal point Siamese cat Ishtar lying down on my stomach.
A closeup of the photo I shared in the post above, showing Tomoe, tabby calico kitten, with a face that says "nyehehehehe"
A photo of me, a white person with green hair and glasses, flomped on my sofa. I'm wearing a black handknit jumper with a light blue halibut pattern on it, and hugging a black dragon plushie. The collar of the jumper is pulled over my face but you can still see from my eyes that I am Deeply Unimpressed by life today
A screenshot from my bluesky timeline showing two images, one posted by @boschbot and one posted by @pastposcards. One is an old postcard, the other is a detail from the Last Judgement by Hieronymus Bosch. They have very similar compositions and colour palettes of black, dark brown, vibrant orange, and skies of deep turquoise/teal.
Excerpt of a Financial Times news article about Peter Magyar: “He responds to unfounded attacks by reframing rather than contesting them,” said Tamás Topolánszky, a filmmaker who chronicled Magyar’s rise in a recent documentary, Spring Wind. He described the approach as “unconventional but effective”. “He knows how to provoke the establishment to keep his name on the agenda . . . He is extremely fast, does his own social media and understands what makes a meme, how to benefit from viral content.”
A photo of me holding my mum's giant orange cat in residence, Quinoa. He's a very large white and orange cat, mostly white but with a big orange splodge on his back. He is 50% Maine Coon and you can tell, though in this photo he looks smaller than he actually is.
A very close closeup of a teacup, showing a very finely painted Chinese dragon's face in a verdigris sort of colour. It has big round eyes and an open mouth with tongue sticking out and it looks about as dignified as one of those lions on medieval heraldry, which is to say not at all.
Tomoe the tabby calico kitten lying down on a cushion, her gaze on something out of frame. You can see her patchwork of very defined stripes and splodges of mackerel grey and peachy rose-gold and white socks and mittens and belly. She's just a really pretty cat, okay?
Tomoe the tabby calico kitten sitting on a ridiculously large cardboard box that says "fragile" and "heavy, over 15kg"
Selfie of me, a white person with short green hair and glasses, carrying Quinoa, an Enormous white and orange cat. He is just. Very large.
Ishtar and Tomoe sleeping in their favourite spot, the top basket of a cat tree. Ishtar the Siamese is curled up like a normal, sensible cat. Tomoe the tabby calico kitten is... look, I don't even know what's going on, here. She's stretched way out, with one front leg stretched over the edge of the basket by an inch or two, and one hind leg just sort of hanging out, completely horizontally, over the opposite edge. And by that I mean her *entire* leg is hanging out. She just looks absurdly long and stretched out in this. I can't even explain it.
Two cats lounging in the basket at the top of the cat tree by my desk. In the background, Ishtar the siamese cat is curled up like a regular normal cat. In the foreground, Tomoe the tabby calico kitten is lounging like she's a New Jersey mobster in a hot tub. Her arm is draped over the edge of the basket, one of her legs is sticking out over the side, and she's looking to the side, eyes narrowed like she's saying "hey do ya mind? I'm sleepin' 'ere!"
The title page of Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles, with my ex libris stamped on it in black. It's a linocut of a very rotund and gormless cartoony pigeon sitting on a pile of books. The spines of the book say "ex libris CK"
A close-up of the late, great Tiamat, a beautiful black cat with bright yellow eyes, resting in a sunbeam. She is lounging on a carpeted floor, looking at ease and comfortable, but perky, attentive. The sunlight gives a beautiful russet depth to her black coat, and makes her eyes shine like gold. She is much missed!
