December posting meme - Dec. 1

❧ @jin-guangyao asked me "What's your default 'picking-up-a-cat' technique?" and you know, I was pretty sure I could just write it down and I'd be remembering correctly, but I had to check to be sure. Thanks, Banshee!
  1. head skritches
  2. one hand on chest, just in back of forelegs
  3. up!
  4. other hand supports back legs
  5. bring towards my chest

❧ last summer one of my siblings introduced me to therapyshoppe.com which sells stim devices, among other things. I have a couple of squishy balls with various textures including this one (filled with gel beads).



Anyway I think they should make a version that's just filled with the black ones and has a colored milky liquid and market it as a boba tea themed stim toy, that would be pretty cute

❧ Watched the first episode of the Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire donghua (based on the book I've been not-reading). It jumps much faster into the action, unsurprisingly, and seems fun. I'll keep watching. Amusingly it (for a very brief moment) had an animation of someone knitting that was more accurate than most live-action knitting I've seen (although, mirrored), which I probably only noticed because I was knitting while watching.
(The knitting isn't plot-relevant. Somewhat character-relevant, for a side character.)

❧ There's a local hawk! It came down to the bike path yesterday, and today I saw it circling in the sky (and now I have the song "Oklahoma" from the musical stuck in my head because of one line)

I caught a pic of the hawk flying away--under a cut because it's carrying something dead, although you can't make out details
