Why, when strangers follow me, is it always journals of half or mostly naked women? Where are the journals of half or mostly naked men? Why are those journals not following me out of the blue?

Steve Rogers (Marvel Rivals) - 2026

Inspired by the new Steve Rogers skin in the game Marvel Rivals (and before you ask: yes, he does have a crop top in the game too 😁)

It's wonderful to have kittens go from 'what is this new scary place' to 'this chair is ours and we be napping' in less than a month.

This is SO SWEET. It makes me miss him even more, to know he was such a lovely person.

My favorite shoes in the winter are my Manitobah mukluks, which are Metis-owned and participate heavily in community initiatives with other indigenous nations to train and support artists. They also partner regularly with artists from other nations on their shoes to create custom editions. Currently they are collaborating with Rosa Scribe (Cree), Janae Grass (Sac & Fox), Atheana Picha (Salish), and Melissa Peter-Paul (Mi'kmaw). They also host an indigenous market that showcases and promotes indigenous artists.

Plus they're warm as hell and the sheepskin lining means I don't have to wear socks, which is extremely nice sensory comfort. So that's nice as well.

Eighth Generation (Snoqualmie Tribe) has some beautiful stuff - I've bought a huge beautiful beach towel and cool socks from them personally, but they have jewelry, art, housewares, lots of great work.
