Miss Molly wants to know:
Have you drunk enough water today?
Are you getting enough sleep?
Did you remember to take your meds? #SelfCare #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday

That face.

So for various reasons I’m having an Unbirthday this year and not a birthday. Because I’m not officially getting older, I figured I can also choose what age I’m going to be turning too. I’ve gone for 18.

What age would you turn again if you could? Not talking hypothetical time travel or anything like that.

Like, if you could choose which birthday you had again, what age would you choose?

Same.

We had a cat food delivery today.
Molly is more interested in the box… for now. #CatsOfMastodon

I have a dumb question I hope someone can answer.
A friend created a site in wordpress for me a few years ago. I already had a very basic site and a domain which she then uploaded the shiny new site to.
I used to edit my very basic site directly with my very very basic knowledge of html and upload via ftp.
I need to edit the shiny new site but I don’t know how. My friend is indisposed and I don’t want to bug her as it’s been years and it was a favour. Help? #AskFediverse #TechHelp

Just been chatting over WhatsApp with my Italian colleague (and work husband), who knows I'm trying to learn Italian, and asked me "Come stai?"

"How are you?"

Now, I'm at a stage where I understand the question, but am not certain of the correct answer, so I took to DuckDuckGo to translate "I'm good, thanks".

I replied "Sono grande, grazie"

Which is, apparently, "I am old" or "I am large" depending on context.

Fortunately I'm not visiting Italy any time soon...

Another useful app I’ve only started using recently but might be helpful to other neurospicy people is Goblin Tools.
It’s iOS only but the website version is free: https://goblin.tools/
It has several really useful tools to help with executive function but my favourite is the Magic Todo.
You type in any task and it breaks it down into manageable steps.
If any of those steps seem too much or you’re not sure where to start, you can break them down even further. #ADHD #ActuallyAutistic

Queen Molly has a new throne… which then needed testing to determine if it was edible. #CatsOfMastodon

For #SundayPixField, here’s a shot from a moving car (I was a passenger, don’t panic) somewhere near Totnes in Devon.
Somewhat reminiscent of a Windows desktop in the late 90s.
Also something weird happened with the light and the car window or the phone camera, it’s not aliens. @sundaypix #SundayPix

For #SundayPixGrey, please accept this cold and stormy view of Milford On Sea I took back in April this year.

I got more boats #SundayPixBoat @sundaypix

The photo doesn’t capture just how black this boat is. I was disappointed to note that Hotblack Desiato is not written on the side. #SundayPixBoat @sundaypix @wombat37 #HHGTTG #DouglasAdams

Early @sundaypix for me today as I’m off on a plane shortly. Maybe a bonus #SundayPixSunshine shot later if I’m lucky.

Here’s my little shadow cat Rosie making quite the face.
If there was a sunbeam then she would be in it. @wombat37

Some of you seemed a little surprised by the detail that foetuses eat their own body hair. We are delighted to tell you that this is completely true. The hair is called lanugo, and usually appears at 16 weeks of gestation, and is shed by around 7-8 months in.

Foetuses drink from amniotic fluid, so when lanugo is shed into it, they'll chug that down, too. https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110496778630557970

Here’s my submission for #SundayPixShapes
Reflected triangles, an ellipse and a bonus vesica piscis… which is a term I just learned. #SundayPix @sundaypix

I was in several minds on how to interpret this but I’m feeling chill so here is #SundayPixIDMatch

As I’m recovering from a splendid Eurovision final evening, for #SundayPixWings you can have a sleepy owl. Same little wol, same.

Struggled with this week’s #SundayPixTransport because I rarely leave home.

However, I did once live on a boat. It didn’t go anywhere but I think it still counts.
