have not been posting much about Sally because she's just fucking old gamers. she's doing good! we do our morning walkies around the park. we go to her beach on the weekend if it's nice out (she cries horribly the whole 7min drive there..it.. kills us...)

she's lost some weight and hasn't had her limp in awhile so she's moving good. she is going deaf though she doesn't wake up if dogs are barking on tv and she doesn't hear her treats being dropped into her bowl.

it's hard seeing her get so old and feeble when she used to scale fallen down trees with 0 fear. she still has no fear but she doesn't have the strength anymore so there's a lot more micro-managing to keep her safe.

the upside is she cuddles a bit more and she's been very sweet in the mornings

I'm using the app StayFree to pick and choose what gets blocked on my phone and for how long. I just have the internet browser and facebook app blocked, Tumblr and other apps i use daily are free because they don't make me lose hours.

i did have it set to only block me at night but i found myself reaching for shorts as soon as i woke up and then just not getting up.

i think its been two weeks of having a parental lock on my phone where i literally can't use my internet browser (because I will go on fb reels..)

and its actually been really nice not losing hours to short form videos!! but its super fucking annoying when I can't google something!!! and also can't click any links!!!

If you zoom into her nose you'll see the Maverick face.

you know when you get Autism Mad. like something happens in a non-ideal way and in your brain you know it literally doesnt matter but in your other more autistic brain youre like screaming & scrying & shitting the bed etc. i think you should be able to go into settings and opt out of that. i have better things to get upset about than failing to put up a decoration on the optimal day or being too stubborn to solve a problem via simple communication

Probably my favourite pattern I've made to date, this thylacine is using my at-home fabric printing setup which allows me to sublimate designs onto different colour and length fabrics that aren't available with commercial fabric printing…

I chose a dusty brown base colour (in two lengths), combining it with a pale minky underbelly and darker fabric for the tail. This, combined with sublimation printing, makes for a more realistic and intensely coloured outcome compared to printing onto plain white fabrics.

I used my vinyl cutter to make puff-vinyl paw pads and nose, which have a really fun texture. The colours of this plush were based on "unfaded" thylacine specimens- mostly pelts that have been stored away from sunlight. Most taxidermy specimens look very pale and faded.

This was a labour of love and I only have one available here: FOR SALE HERE. I may make more in future, but I imagine it won't be for a while and they'll look a bit different from this chap!

I think perhaps that I do not need an elaborate talking-button set up to know what my pet is thinking.
