Something Funny Goes Here

@soulkeepercoffee

Howdy! I go by either Star/Soul/Anna and I am a 27 year old trash heap who probably is too invested in WoW lore still. I reblog alot of things that tickle my fancy (Mostly shit posts, World of Warcraft and videogame related stuff oho) I even do art sometimes! (and by sometimes I mean hardly ever). I tend not to tag things often but if you need me to just tell me!
I hope you enjoy your stay! Battle.net: RoadratStar#1674 (Now on Moonguard!)

this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this, which i have only tested at a small scale and not this final version exactly (where i have done such things as further widening the cheeks and finalizing the leg shapes.) i bestow it upon you nice folks now πŸ‘

(IVE UPDATED IT WITH A FIX!!)

go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!

tested the fix (as seen in the edit!!) AND IM SUPER HAPPY THIS IS CUTE AS HELL!! im hoping some people whove reblogged this see the updated pattern aaahh

it’s that time of the year again everyone say happy 40th birthday :-)

This is apparently what was contained in the original message that invented the :-) and I'm obsessed with Fahlman's diction here

ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

"The U.S. Forest Service today [Aug. 29, 2025] posted notice of its intention to roll back significant protections on some 45 million acres of mid-elevation forestland, and will accept public comments through Sept. 19 to gauge Americans’ appetite for the change.

Specifically, the Trump administration plans to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, proposed by the Clinton administration and enacted under the George Bush administration, that generally prohibits new road construction on millions of acres of U.S. Forest Service land. The rule was adopted after hundreds of public meetings and 1.6 million public comments, 95 percent of which supported the roadless protections as a tool to conserve wildlife habitat, improve watershed health, and importantly, reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires on America’s public timberlands."

Closing Roads

Most exploitation of the wild requires roads, and the industrial machine could not afford to constantly repair the road network on public lands if even a few hundred people across the country were making a spare time project of trashing it. Roads are difficult and expensive to maintain, especially in the areas we want to save. Selected areas, such as de facto wildernesses or roadless areas denied protection in the RARE II rip-off, BLM Wilderness Review, and subsequent β€œWilderness” legislation, can be protected by closing the unsurfaced roads that are built and used in the process of exploitation. Individuals can use the techniques described here, with simple, cheap tools, to prevent vehicle access to sensitive areas. You can deter the testing needed to prove commercial feasibility for proposed developments such as mining or oil & gas drilling. You can discourage the construction of a timber harvest road in a National Forest roadless area. You also can harass and render unprofitable an existing exploitative enterprise.

They still haven't fixed this problem

I did this drawing a month after the game was released and that door still doesn't open correctly
