We don't know about you guys, feline fam, but we've been really into matcha recently. It's like coffee, but better! Well, at least we think it is. However, we are self-conscious about drinking it now that we know that we are on track for a global shortage in the coming years…. but that's a problem for future Blake. Because Meowndays are purrticularly difficult (saying goodbye to our kitties Meownday morning is the hardest part of the week), we like to get ourselves a little treat on the way to the office, and it's usually a matcha latte. And you know what goest best with matcha? Some wholesome cat pics and memes.

One fuels our brain with caffeine, and the other fuels our souls with heartwarming feline energy. They make us smile, and remind us that there are pawsitive things out there in the world when everything else feels bleak (remember, it's Monday). We may not be a doctor, but we feel purrfectly qualified to purrscribe you some meows and matcha today, so you can get through his meowrning with full hearts and head full of feline energy. You got this, fam. Now go pounce on this Monday like a cat on catnip!

World's smallest black-footed wild kittens lose their momma in a sugarcane field, luckily kind worke

Everyone needs their momma. That's true for humans, cats and wild cats alike. When we are little, mom is the safest place to be, and getting lost is just about everyone's worst nightmare. Of course, if you're a kitten running around in the wild, losing your momma is not only scary, it's also dangerous. It means facing the dangers of the world alone. And when you're a tiny black-footed kitty, also known as the smallest wild cat in the world, then every danger is a massive danger.

It's a good thing that there are still kind humans around, willing to go out of their way to help a kitten in need. And these black-footed kittens were lucky ones, because when they lost their momma, they were found almost immediately by kind farmers who not only rescued them, gave them food and created a shelter for them, but also helped the itty bitty kittens reunite with their very worried momma.

Monday morning, the beginning of fall, and honestly, we don't know how this year passed so quickly. It feels like just yesterday it was still the beginning of the year, but no, it's officially sweater weather, and we are barreling straight toward Halloween and Christmas. Right now, when we think back about what has happened throughout the year, we can only say "too much". Too many things, too much drama, but the only thing that has been consistently good throughout the year, as is true every year, is the cat memes that the internet still loves.

More specifically, we are talking about wholesome cat memes. You know the ones… they're the ones that make you smile unconditionally, the ones that can uplift you even during the most drama-filled days. That's why we bring you this collection every single week, putting together the most wholesome of the most wholesome, so that you could start your Monday morning truly on the right paw.

also we didn't get enough sun or warmth but it's autumn

As of today, Wax's annual vacation is now fully over without us having accomplished anything (from our long list of house repair and renovating tasks) because we still haven't emerged from depression-anxiety-exhaustion since last fall.

Wax feels much worse than me, but it would not be fair to say I've recovered from it. I have enough energy to want to accomplish a project or go for a walk but not enough to start these things on my own (it takes about 1/2 as many spoons to do them together) and enough to want to see my friends but not enough to go beyond texting one of them once a month or so.

Anyway, Wax thinks she might have a thyroid issue. Or another physical issue, but the point is, she suspects she's not just depressed or burnt out. But her employer switched healthcare providers six months ago and the new one doesn't have a local branch, so going to an appointment will mean going into Turku (25-35 min drive). Her exhaustion is therefore holding her back from seeking treatment for it.

And I guess I also feel kinda bad. I am going to have to try to meet a new GP and discuss my medications and stuff. Sometimes, though, I think what I need (not instead of medication, just like... need most) is really a rigidly-scheduled regimen of eating enough calories and sleeping and exercising to gradually increase endurance at the same time every day, but as an ADHD sufferer, I can no more make myself do those than make myself suddenly speak Finnish fluently. It feels like there should be a trick - like it shouldn't be this hard to just create routines. Or leave the house alone to go for a walk. And yet.

Sherlock Holmes: Tea, Coffee, and a Bite of Beef by MadamzelleG

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Books/Granada)
Pairings/Characters: Holmes/Watson
Rating: G
Length: 1114 words
Creator Links: MadamzelleG
Theme: food & cooking

Summary: Holmes never orders dinner for himself, but Watson has long since stopped asking why. Instead, he allows the quiet ritual to unfold—Holmes sipping his coffee, stealing a bite here and there from Watson’s plate with effortless precision. In the warm glow of the Café Royal, amidst the murmur of conversation and the clink of silverware, an unspoken understanding lingers between them: Holmes takes, and Watson never minds.

Reccer's Notes: An intimate little scene of Watson and Holmes dining out together. With some exploration of Holmes' canon issues around food, but not in clinical way, more like Watson observing Holmes.

Round 178: Food & Cooking

Photograph of steel spoons and spices in a dramatic setting with added text that gives it the look of a gourmet magazine cover: September 2025. Food & Cooking, at Fancake. Steel teaspoons are arranged in an elogated oval to suggest a fish, with the bowls acting as scales and some of the handles left visible to create the fins and tail, giving the creature a spiky appearance. The concave bowls are dusted with a powdery orange spice for color and one spoon at the front of the fish is filled with a coarse black spice to create an eye. The fish is on a black surface with a rough texture and around it are three skinny green peppers, a mound of salt, a mound of orange spice, and a dipping bowl filled with a clear amber liquid.

Our theme for September is food & cooking!

Prompt: Nut-Free

Our prompt for September is nut-free!

While I've got you here, let's talk about coconut. It's not a nut. Botanically speaking, it's a fruit, and because it's rare for tree nut allergens to cross-react with coconut, I don't treat coconut as a nut for tagging purposes. That means something can have the nut-free tag and still have coconut in it. Just something to keep in mind while you're browsing the comm or tagging your posts.

To fill this nut-free prompt, you can:

Slide into the comments of this post and share a link to a recipe, product, or resource and why you like it.
Write up a favorite recipe and post it to the comm.
Post a review of a related product or cookbook to the comm.
Try someone's recipe and reply to their post (or comment) with any changes you made and how it turned out.

Monthly prompts are only for inspiration and not a requirement. You can post whatever you like to the comm whenever you like as long as it meets the community guidelines.

Nothing on my metrics to take care of, but outside of them, i need to pack, go shopping, and get ready to go!

Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera

Rakesfall

3/5. Chandrasekera’s first book made a splash, but this one really didn’t. I didn’t know why until I read it, and now I’m pretty sure it’s because no one wants to talk about it and demonstrate that they have no freaking clue what it’s about.

I’m . . . sort of . . . kidding. This is a strange passage of a book. It is ostensibly about two people who are instantiated across many lives over huge spans of time, and how they relate to each other, and how they don’t. It’s also about colonialism and modes of resistance and a sort of cosmic war. Probably?

Mostly, it’s a beautifully written piece with extremely clever intertextual stylings that is disorienting (on purpose, but I suspect he thought he was being much clearer than I think he is) and that does the reader only a few very basic favors in trying to figure out what is what. Or who is who, from chapter to chapter. Read if you like that sort of experience of disorienting fragments stitched together into something that, for me, did not resolve much at all.

Content notes: Many kinds of interpersonal and terroristic violence.

Fluchtpunkt Stato

Posted by Enpunkt

http://perry-rhodan.blogspot.com/2025/09/fluchtpunkt-stato.html

Seit einiger Zeit halten sich Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten – eine sehr kleine Gruppe – in einer Art Mini-Universum auf, einem sogenannten Granulon. Dort werden sie von den Laren gejagt, während sie gleichzeitig versuchen, wichtige Informationen in die Milchstraße zu bringen … Soweit der Ausgangspunkt für den Roman, der in der vergangenen Woche in unserer Serie PERRY RHODAN NEO erschienen ist.

Ruben Wickenhäuser schrieb »Fluchtpunkt Stato«, und auf dem Titelbild bietet Dirk Schulz eine Anmutung des kosmischen Gebildes, in das sich Perry Rhodan und seine Gefährten flüchten. Der spannende Roman gibt unter anderem starke Einblicke von Gucky, dem Mausbiber, und stellt einen faszinierenden Planeten vor. Der Autor hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren als ein Spezialist für fremdartige Welten etabliert und zeigt sein Talent auch in diesem Werk – das wiederum gefiel mir bei der Lektüre des Manuskripts sehr gut.

When I returned from swimming this morning, there was the most gorgeous sunrise. I didn't have my cell phone with me, so once home I just grabbed it and went outside again. It wasn't quite as impressive anymore, but I still love the photo I got:

We were back to all lanes occupied this morning and several people waiting with me for the entrance to unlock for our transponder keys at 5:30. I've been cheering so much about the emptiness, but one of the gentlemen somewhat more involved with the club asked me about how much it had been frequented and then said there had already been discussions a recent summer about ceasing to open that early, because too few people were using it then. That is definitely something that should have occured to me, too, given how often we have had the same discussions at work. Another gentleman then rightfully pointed out that for some like him those early opening hours are the deal breaker for joining the club, so it would be as always, what is done in consequence of less people coming causes even less people to come... I hope there was enough usage of the early morning swimming time this year then!

My neighbour has planted sunflowers in his garden and they are so tall that I can see them from my kitchen even without stepping all the way to the window. I don't know if he even sees them all that much when they are towering so far above his own windows, but it definitely is excellent service for the neighbourhood. ;-)

The mouse figure is repaired and back in place! And apparently, the countless band-aids people covered the damaged part with indeed did help! They prevented dampness from getting inside the statue, so restoration was easier and quicker. How cool!

Friday was my last working day. I was able to schedule a therapy session for this afternoon (because no work!) and I feel good after it. I usually want to snack on something after therapy because being vulnerable expends energy or something, idk. I had cinnamon biscuits on hand, they were nice. I talked about how I'd felt shitty after finishing Project Fang, and I've slowly come to realise why. It's because my writing is not how it used to be. The quality of prose in my debut novel is not the quality of prose I can achieve now, because the debut novel was written before the bookstore debacle and subsequent cognitive changes in myself. But as I talked to my therapist I also slowly realised that I want to write self-indulgently and prioritise pleasure, rather than artistic achievement. It helps that the readership I'm writing for has mostly similar priorities. So it's okay that I'm not the writer I used to be. I'm still improving and will get back up there eventually.

My workplace added my replacement to the work WhatsApp group and welcomed her. They'd forgotten to remove me from the group. So they removed me after adding her instead of before, lol. They also deleted my work email over the weekend. Both these things felt sudden to me. I emailed them from my regular email asking them if I could have access to my work email to save some things I'd worked on to my portfolio. If they say no, then perhaps that's a sign I'm not meant to return to this line of work lol. They've been nice to me though. They might say yes.

In writing news, I've opened ARC signups for Bloodhunt Academy. Its working title was Project Fang, so that's how I've been referring to it, but now it's got its final title. It's all feeling so real! Especially as I have the final cover. I'll do a cover reveal on Instagram soon but I'm revealing it here first because I love it here. Look! SO pretty isn't it!
( Cover reveal! )

Every time our vampire heroine menstruates, she has to drink the blood of men to replenish herself. Things are complicated by Society Frowning Upon This. Things are further complicated when she falls in love with a human girl who rebels against their dystopian regime. Things are even further complicated when she falls in love with a boy who has been trained all his life to become a vampire hunter.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know would enjoy, but don't want to support Amazon (the book will be KU-exclusive after release because this is apparently my livelihood now), you can bypass Amazon by getting an advance reader copy before its release. Here's the ARC signup form: Link! No worries if this is not your thing! I would be delighted if it's someone else's thing and you point them to it.

Here's the complete blurb, for the curious:

I'm so nervous about doing the steps in the process of launching this book. I have to start recruiting ARC readers from Instagram and Threads and goddess knows where else. I have a simple website in the works and I need to figure out my author newsletter and... AAAAAH I'm doing just the basics for my pen name launch but it feels like a LOT. I'm glad I'm posting the cover reveal and ARC signup form and everything here first because everything just feels less scary on Dreamwidth, lol.
