Been listening to Year Of The Cat by AL Stewart - https://youtu.be/Ak_MTXQALa0
Great for listening during car rides. Also 3:53-4:05 sounds like sims 3 create a sim music and I can't unhear it! 😭

I've been commenting, upvoting and posting. Though for some reason I haven't been able to post anything since yesterday - It gives me an error code no matter how many times I try, does anyone know anything about this? I want to post more cat pics darn it!!

Ah thought so. Glad we're getting more people! Can't wait to see the magazines fill up a bit more.

Same here! My mum would buy avocados and make me eat them, they were awful especially when they're too ripe and have stringy bits. Now I'm older and they're one of my favourite fruits, pity they aren't in season over here. I usually put them on toast with smoked salmon on top! How do you eat your avos?

What's something good that happened to you today?

The world can be a pretty strange place, but it's good to look back and find at least one thing that was good to you today. Be that a nice conversation, a cool picture you saw, a song you heard... whatever! But if you didn't find anything good today, here's your sign: go do one thing for you, right now. Even if its just a moment...

Saw this post half an hour ago and realized I haven't done much today apart from sitting in my dark bedroom drawing lol. So I made a big cup of tea, put on some Roger Whittaker songs, cut up an apple into small bits and ate them with my old dog Billy at the table. He's around 16yrs old now so not many years left :[ trying my best to spend lots of time with him while I can.

How did you get into anime?

Although my first anime was back during early childhood (back when anime programme block was a regular thing in Indonesian television). Vulcan just really started following anime seriously during junior high school back in 2012 (classmates are into Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online during that time, and we often chatted about...

Can't remember how, but I started watching anime when I was around 8 so 2012/2013ish. My mum and I watched anime together after school, some of our first ones were Bleach, Darker Than Black, Azumanga Daioh, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Bamboo Blade, and Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East. I remember when anime wasn't well known and people would pronounce it as "ani-mee" lol. Also got bullied at school for talking about it, now its become mainstream xD

HandsHurtLoL, to knitting

Hello all! I'm new here from reddit. Yesterday I finished this sweater vest called the Crimson Trace sweater vest - free pattern download from Ravelry. Made in size J. Using circular needles in size 2 and size 0.

The yarns for this are all fingering weight yarn. Most yarns are 100% wool, but some are sock wool (so has a percentage up to 15% of nylon). One yarn used very sparingly was 100% cotton. Some of the 100% wool yarns were hand dyed by me using Kool-Aid, but the others were dyed by a small batch dyer in the community I used to live in. I can't even recall the colors because I had been gathering yarns for over a year before finally casting on in January or February this year.

I worked on and off, sometimes working on other projects in between, but including the time for two frogged sections, this project took me approx 183.75 hours to complete. I tried to add another photo to this comment with a close-up of the fair isle patterning.

(If you recognize this from my reddit post yesterday, say hi to me! I'm hoping to find a similar sense of community here on kbin!)

Hiya everyone! I'm Smiley, lovely to meet you all. ♪(´▽`)

I'm trying to be less of a lurker and start posting - will mostly be my art, photography, crochet and cat pics.
Hoping more cat communities pop up cause I love cats, I have 5 of the hairy buggers!

This is so awesome! Looks like a dinosaur. Kinda like a Troodon (Troodontidae), thus I suggest the name 'Trudy'! 🦕🦖

Hello there! I'm Smiley, lovely to meet you all. (✿◡‿◡)

Like a lot of new people here I'm a Reddit refugee. I've always been a lurker so making posts and commenting is rather daunting, though from what I've seen this community is really nice. :D
I look forward to posting my art, photography and cat pics! 🎨📸🐈💖

Honestly, thank you so much for this post. I've always wanted to post my art online but it always got so little traction, it made me feel silly and like my art wasn't worth posting. It also added to my fear that despite drawing for so many years my skills are quite lacking...

I uploaded a drawing yesterday to the Kbin art magazine I think it was the first drawing in there too, which made me feel like I was doing something wrong. It only got about 12 views and 6 likes but it still made me feel proud! I also got a comment which boosted my confidence a bit hehe.

I like this place because it feels like I'm actually contributing to something and not just making yet another post that will be cast into the endless sea of the internet.

No matter how silly I feel I'll continue posting regardless. I'm doing my part!
