I've been using BOINC since before BOINC was BOINC...

ASCII art holds a special place in my heart.

Love the cross stitch. Knowing nothing about cross stitch... Could you make your own? I make knitting patterns sometimes in spreadsheets. It's basically just pixel art. Maybe you could try that! Also like the idea of the Other Almanac, I might have to grab one.

@bmh - love it! I used BOINC back in the early 2000s when I was doing SETI@home.

@enflicted - I love ASCII art - I have a lot hidden in my index page source code but it's all images from elsewhere because even though I love it, I never learned how to create it!

@oopsiedoodle - I could make my own! I could go old school and trace something or there are programs where you can load in a picture and it will create a pattern. Was seriously thinking of just taking stoner album art and running it through one of those.

There's another newbie in Kitty Friends!

We've got new residents in both Kitty Friends and Pocket Town! Woohoo! Also added some code so that now the images will embiggen when you hover on them.

I always found the pocket town cute and interesting, but never got into it. and embiggen is a funky word, I like it.

there's so many kitties now!! 🥰

@enflicted - there are a lot of pixel things I really appreciate but can't get into myself. @solaria - I *know*! I love it but it's kind of crazy!

New tiara post! There's a selection of amethyst tiaras in honor of February's birthstone. And you know me so it's not any old boring selection of diamond and - these are a little bit different!

Those are all so cool. I especially love the first one

I know, it's so *extra*!

I'm so sorry about your mom! That's hard.

"I run out of spoons easily", I love this term, and I can related!

@rusty-bytes - thanks, friend! @bmh - Welcome to the Spoonless Club! ;)

great post. the onion story is indeed delightful.

i see it. TEETH!

Come meet the new kitty in Kitty Friends!

Thanks for doing that work. I didn’t know that about people being asked to declare a deportation country. What an awful, unfair practice.

thank you for this and also for telling us about it- I want to look into observing court proceedings

came to your website thanks to kitty friends pixel club. stayed for activism, god, this really is very very important and im so happy someone is doing something about this, not just sit back and watch. keep up the good work and please dont forget to take care of yourself, as well! (kindly, an immigrant & fellow activist!!!)
