Thank goodness for the strange rules from the animal shelter and animal control. Thank goodness Buddy ate a broom. Thank goodness for cardboard boxes and cobwebs and drawers full of clothes.

Buddy was an adorable baby and he was so lucky to have you and your wife.

I love Lamp πŸ₯Ή

I'm imagining him throwing himself against the cage door begging for pets and knowing that you were the ones who would give them.

Mine is Oliver. He was fostered as a 2 week old kitten by my brother-in-law. After his divorce Oliver came to live with us, he's been with us for almost two years now. I have had other pets but I've never felt this close to another creature.

He loves to be near me and comes running when I call for him. Every night when I get ready to go upstairs to bed, he waits at the stairs for me, then runs up as fast as he can, then turns around to make sure I'm still following. He runs down the hall to jump up on my bed and wait in my spot, then kneads and snuggles and purrs and it just fills my heart with such joy. He's afraid of most people, but he loves me unconditionally.

I joke that we're both have an anxious attachment style because we were taken from our mothers too early, but I really do think that we understand each other and the need to feel safe.

Maybe this is dramatic but I truly don't know how I could live without him.

These are beautiful! I love the diversity of texture in the different tendrils.

What ongoing projects are you working on? in c/imadethis@lemm.ee
[–] martine@lemm.ee 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have ADHD and can't seem to actually finish a god damn project, but starting them is easy! So...

Woodworking/carving:

  • spoonula that I literally just need to finish sanding
  • trinket bowl
  • need to bleach and oil a dozen cheese knives I otherwise finished six months ago lol
  • espresso tamper
  • compost tamper

Sewing:

  • a bunch of swaddle blankets for some pregnant friends
  • UPF fabric kaftan for the beach
  • slipcover for my office chair

To my fellow sober queers out there (instagram.com)
 

I know I'm not the only queer person who has struggled with substance abuse – it's not uncommon in our community because of the chronic trauma so many of us do and have experience/d from our families, friends, and society at large.

I make art based on my experiences as a queer sober person and the joy it has brought to my life. If you want to take a look, it’s on Instagram and I also recently duplicated it to Pixelfed (federated photo-sharing community).

I'm working on a piece right now about alcohol companies rainbow-washing for pride. I think they are aware of the alcohol abuse in our community and it sucks. But it also is important to be represented in society, which is, at the moment, capitalism.

I welcome DMs from anyone who wants to talk about their drinking if they are worried it's problematic, or just want to talk. I've been sober for over three years :)

Disclaimer: Many people, including queer people, are able to drink in a way that is not disordered or unhealthy for them. I don't judge anyone who drinks!
