L. P. Hartley’s THE HARNESS ROOM (L.P. Hartley, 1971; 2022)

P. Hartley’s THE HARNESS ROOM Thanks to Gregory Woods for his recommendation and for his introduction to the new edition, a model of clarity and concision: a lot’s packed into a few pages. It’s a very brief book, an easy read, and a potent evocation of a particular type of Englishness. Colonel Alex Macready, a widower with a 17 year old son fears his son Fergus lacks the aggressiveness…

This isn't quite Warriors-related, but this is where my largest audience is, and y'all seem to like cats, so I have a query:

I'm getting a catio built outside my house, and while it'll have a roof, it'll be exposed to the elements by wire-chain walls. Does anyone have a recommendation of things I could put in the catio for my felines to enjoy that won't be ripped apart immediately by cold and wind and rain? I know I want to get them some cat-grass, but toys or items for them to relax on are priority as well.

#i speak #not warriors #the cats just very recently became permanently indoors #my house is big enough to give them elbow room but i can tell they miss going outside #one im gunna try and see if shell walk on a harness with me and the dog #one only goes outside to potty (fucker wont use a box for some reason)#and the final one is feral-born so hes got the itch for the outdoors #i figure a catio will help with all of this

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #cats #I am trying to get my cat to associate wearing the harness with getting to go outside and smell things #cuz our other partner is gonna drive me and the cat home since neither she nor I should be put on planes if at all avoidable #so I'd like her to be able to get out of the car with us at rest stops and stretch her little beans and smell stuff #instead of just being in a car or a hotel room for like 3 days #so far she has been very good about not pulling or trying to escape #even when she does not agree with my decision to not walk through the landscaping in socks #(I didn't forget her tail she doesn't have one)#(I know it's after midnight everywhere as far west as NA rn so I do feel the need to clarify this is not a joke)#(I really did take my cat outside just before I drew this)#(there were a lot of slugs and they did not interest her at all)

My outfit was perfect and it had pockets. Lots of celebrating life.

#This was my funeral look. I put a good 3 hours of work into it that morning. And it really paid off #The look stayed perfect all day. Even in the sun. And the green bits matched baby belles harness and lead so that was cute of us #So much crying but also so much love and laughter #I was absolutely overwhelmed by how many people turned up to the service. Twice the rooms capacity easily. Then that again at the wake #So many people touched by one life. Incredible #But anyway. You guys are here for the sweet vintage vibes etc. So enjoy!! This look was created for others to enjoy!#My corset underneath was literally holding me together mentally tbh. I felt like i was going to dissolve and spiral for sure 😂#Ootd

I achieved my first dragon cuddles!!!

#bearded dragon #ed beardie #fbw rambles #my pets #animal pics #he seemed okay with it #he moved around on me a bit #mlemed at the fleece once #did some observation of the room #then ended up wiggling into a crevice next to me #and didn't protest when i lifted my arm up to give him more of a heated bed #he seemed pleased with the blanket over to give some darkness and hold in warmth #totally time to buy him a harness and a dragon cuddle sling!!!

I strongly support all of these "Death Note characters as animals" posts and they're so well done!! but the lack of bobtail representation is very u_u

Making B an American Bobtail so he can go crazy stupid, yell forever, be incredibly hardy, built like a tower, and be completely bone-less on the floor at any given point.

#qeyond sucks #im very bias as frankie is an american bobtail #he never shuts up. he is built like a tank. he can jump so good. he loves to skitter and be a creature #and most importantly if i try to pick him up he has NO bones. he is LIMP AS HELL.#i pick him up and sling all 20lbs of him iver my shoulder like a sack of rice #he does not fucking care and will not make an effort to be anything but blobby #he LOVES to hunt. but he is very bad at kill. he use to bring me mice and release them in my room when i was sleeping #(our house was old and had mice in the basement)#and we also use to get bats in the basement that he couldnt catch (thank god)#but damn did he use to jump SOOO HIGH #he loves to eat grass and will yell and wail and scream pathetically downstairs if i dont take him out on his harness #for grass eating time #and then 50/50 chance of him frowing it up all over :) but he loves it #also bobtails have this back arch thing going on because their back feet are so fucking big and kicky #so it just makes sense u w u

She wasn't in love with him, she knew; but she also knew that love for him, the warmth that steals through a centrally-heated house on a cold day, might come.

#there’s this handsome straight dad who comes into my work sometimes #the first day he ever came in he said “be good’’ when he left and that’s been living in my head rent-free ever since #he came in today when it was ten minutes to close and we chatted for a bit #when I left him to do his shopping he tapped his hand on the small of my back and said thanks for the help #I showed him this jock harness I’m working on that’s cowboy as hell #he laughed and said “you stay on that western stuff huh’’#guilty as charged #he handed it back to me and said ‘‘I wish I knew how to quit you — that’s exactly what it made me think of!#I don’t know if it was a mistake but when he left he said ‘‘love you; be good”#I’d already locked the doors so I walked back to the break room away from the window view and just #like #😤🫠🥺#anyway my heart’s a hoe and I’m so fucking gay #lubbock texas #personal as hell #we've always been around

was looking at craigslist looms (never a good idea) and found a harrisville designs 36″ 4 harness floor loom for. $250. which is about 1/10th of the price of a new one

its only a 3 hour drive away.....

#i emailed the seller already #and googled truck rentals bc i dont think itd fit in my backseat #and was looking around my room for where it could fit #and was like... well i dont need ALL of my books right ?#they did say the harness needs to be restrung and i have no idea how difficult that might be #(ive only ever used rigid heddles so)#36 inches !!!!!!!#i STILL have not made a start on the blanket my uncle commissioned #and also have forgotten whether he wanted a queen or king size blanked so thats not good #but like omg. on a 36 inch loom i could weave a king size blanket in just 3 panels and it would be a little TOO big #i have wanted to weave easy blankets SO BAD #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.#anyway i have no time to do any of this but if they respond and i can buy it i will make time #i want. that loom.#weaving

Is it just mine or does anyone else's pet look at you like you're a scientist and they're a lab animal when they get medicine put on them? I put some nose butter (because his nose is dry), A cream on his paws (because he'll lick them raw and it has a bittering agent in it) and his flea and tick medicine but he just looks so sad. He's so dramatic, it's to help you! You need it to feel better, don't look at me with those eyes.

#dogs #pets #cute pets #his name is jax hes a chocolate lab. he will paw at my door so he will be let in my room to lay on my rug. he also will howel at us while #we are on the other side of the lawn from him because he wants us to be right beside him but he doesn't want walk to us #he loves rides. camping. and drinking and laying in water.#dramatic pets #hes over here acting like hes pleading his case to PETA #he also once totaled a car at 2am because he need to cross the road. he was fine after a few days of being carried with a harness.

Tears of the Kingdom spoilers? Barely. But putting it under a cut anyways just in case. Have a meme

This is the one and only 'spoiler' I've seen and it's also the most important one actually

#tears of the kingdom #breath of the wild #totk #botw #legend of zelda #loz #a brief pause in frankenposting #don't look further in these tags if you don't want to know what the meme is about #this will absolutely not solve my age old problem of 'omg i found another horse i want but i have no room in my stable...'#but i'd like to think it will 😌#found this out from a video somebody posted of the game demonstrating how to get the draft harness for your horses #which is the other most important feature of this game. obviously.#Hyrule better be ready to wait another 20 years because Link is going to be too busy starting a logging and carriage business
