**BRAND NEW POST**🐾 WHAT THE FLUFF!?! 🐾 A BBHQ Q&A SERIES ~ **FEATURING** WING COMMANDER BASIL

Ten cats with distinct fur patterns pose in front of a futuristic control room filled with glowing monitors and consoles. Bold text at the top reads “WHAT THE FLUFF!?!” followed by “A BBHQ Q&A Series” and “Ten memfurs. Ten tales. Infinite floof.” The scene blends sci-fi flair with feline charm, setting the stage for a quirky and imaginative interview series. Copyright @BionicBasil® appears in the bottom right corner.

🐾WHAT THE FLUFF – A BBHQ Q&A Series🐾

Supurr Monday greetings, epic furiends!

Today we’re launching something brand new from deep inside the BBHQ think‑tank, and trust us, this one’s been simmering in the creative cauldron for a while.

Welcome to WHAT THE FLUFF, the fluffiest, quirkiest, most revealing Q&A series ever unleashed from The B Team. Each memfur sits down for a no‑holds‑barred interrogation … err… interview with Vera V5.0, the BBHQ Bunker A.I., answering the questions mew didn’t know mew needed answers to.

From snack stash secrets to interdimensional dilemmas, from floof maintenance routines to heroic regrets, this series dives deep into the minds (and whiskers) of our legendary memfurs.

💬 Expect:

🙀 Outrageous confessions

🛡️ Tactical brilliance

🧠 Floofy wisdom

💥Possibly a few hairballs

First up: Commander Basil,  the tactical heart of the B Team, master of the Nexus Spiral, and keeper of the snack stash (allegedly). What does destiny mean to him? What’s his proudest moment from the Pirate Adventure? And who would he trust with the M Unit if he took a sabbatical?

Stay tuned for Basil’s full Q&A, and prepare to say "What the Fluff?!" at least once per post.

The sequence includes a satellite dish emitting signals, a globe, a satellite, another globe, another satellite, and a second satellite dish. The icons are simple and stylized, suggesting themes of global connectivity, data transmission, and space technology.

Interview No. 1 - Tactical Genius, Nexus Navigator, Snack Stash Custodian (allegedly)

Vera V.5.0: Commander Basil, welcome to the very first instalment of WHAT THE FLUFF. Are you ready for some hard‑hitting, fluff‑rattling questions?

Basil: I was born ready. Also, I brought snacks. Just in case this goes sideways.

Q1: What does destiny mean to mew?

Basil: Destiny is that curious force that nudges mew toward the right mission at the right moment, even if mew were planning a nap instead. I don’t believe everything is pre‑written, but I do believe every cat has a path. Mine just happens to involve portals, pirates, cyborgs, necromancers, zombie cats, and the occasional interdimensional crisis.

Q2: What’s your proudest moment from the Pirate Adventure?

Basil: Oh, that’s easy. The moment I realised my crew trusted me completely, even when we were about to be blown to smithereens by pirates, and the ship was on fire. Leadership isn’t about being fearless; it’s about being brave enough that others feel safe beside mew. Also, defeating a legendary pirate captain with nothing but a modern warship hidden beneath a wooden hull. Well, when I put it like that, the poor chap didn't stand a chance.

Q3: If mew took a sabbatical, who would mew trust to be in charge of the M‑Unit?

Basil: Sabbatical? I don’t know her.

But hypothetically… I’d choose Parsley. He’s calm, methodical, and unlikely to accidentally open a wormhole while trying to heat up a snack (probably). Melvyn is brilliant, but too young and easily distracted by shiny things. Smooch is fearless but would probably declare martial law by lunchtime. Pandora would run it flawlessly but would also redecorate the entire HQ in black velvet. Amber would start a reading workshop and force endless cozy cat mysteries on them. And Fudge, well, given his propensity for being a disaster magnet recently, not advisable at all. So yes, Parsley.

Q4: What’s the biggest misconception about mew?

Basil: That I’m serious all the time. I’m not. I simply look serious because somepawdy has to be the responsible one while the rest of the team is arguing about who ate the last tuna stick, and where are the back-up snacks. And then who didn't put the bazooka back after Smooch blew up the vegetable garden?

Q5: What’s your ultimate comfort snack?

Basil: Freeze‑dried salmon bites. Preferably hidden in a location only I know. And no, I’m not telling mew where. They are really good and weigh nothing, so mew can take loads on missions for that just-in-case moment.

Q6: What’s one thing mew wish every cat knew?

Basil: That bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it’s choosing to act even when your tail is puffed up like a bottle brush and looks slightly ridiculous, well, in Fudge's case, his tail looks like a co-joined twin, I even put googly eyes on it once, Fudge was not amused. And last but not least, that naps are essential for tactical clarity.

Q7: What’s your most embarrassing moment on a mission?

Basil: During the Great Mewtonian Heist, I leapt heroically onto a moving cart… and missed. Completely. The cart rolled over my tail fluff. The team pretended not to laugh. They failed.

Q8: If mew could redo one classified adventure, which would it be?

Basil: The Time‑Travelling Tea Party, redacted. I’d bring more biscuits. And possibly a fire extinguisher and definitely more ammo.

Q9: What’s your secret to keeping the team together?

Basil: Patience, snacks, and the ability to say “No, we are not adopting another interdimensional creature” with authority. But mew know really, that the interdimensional creature will get adopted, providing it's not hostile and doesn't want to eat us.

Q10: What’s your message to BBHQ readers?

Basil: Stay curious. Stay brave. And above all… stay fluffy. Oh, and I can't forget this bit. Thanks ever so much for being here. We love your company. Oh, and the vending machine is free, so help yourself to snacks! MOL

We hope mew enjoyed today's feature brought to mew courtesy of Vera, the bunker A.I., yep, it was her idea, to interrogate, sorry, ask us these questions! MOL

**BRAND NEW** 🐾 Basil’s Bunker Tour 🐾 ~ Level One Spotlight ~ **FIRST STOP** My Office

Promotional poster for “Basil’s BBHQ Bunker Tour” set in a futuristic metallic hallway with multiple doors. A confident cat named Basil sits in the foreground wearing a collar. The background includes a vending machine labeled “LEVEL ONE,” a mop and bucket beside a “CLEANING IN PROGRESS” sign, and a warning sign reading “TIME LOOP INCIDENT AREA. DO NOT ENTER. STOP!” The poster features the tagline “Sixteen levels. One commander. Zero tolerance for accidental time loops,” blending sci-fi humor with feline charm. At www.bionicbasil.com

Welcome to BBHQ, mew lucky fluffers

Oh, hello. I didn’t hear mew over the sound of Smooch yelling;

 "DUCK AND RUN!"  

Oh, fluff me, what has he done now? 

Anyhoo, swiftly moving on because I'm sure that mess will sort itself out!   
Welcome to BBHQ, the bunker. Sixteen levels of secrets, strategy, snacks, and occasional explosions.

Since this is the first instalment of my official Bunker Tour series, I thought we’d start where all great operations begin: Level One. My domain. My command centre. The Oak Office of Ultimate Authority.

Over the last few years, we've had a lot of adventures, which many of mew have read, and by now we think mew should have a pretty good idea about the bunker; however, I thought it might be nice if I gave mew a tour when we're not mid-mission or under attack! MOL

Every new post, I’ll be taking mew around the bunker, one level at a time, so mew can appreciate the sheer scale of what I deal with on a daily basis. Trust me, it’s a lot. Have mew ever tried organising a team of cats? Exactly.

Anyway, follow me. Don’t lag behind. And whatever mew do, don’t touch the tapestry unless mew want a mystical existential crisis before dinner.

Today’s tour:

✨ The Oak Office
✨ The tapestry that binds us all
✨ The artefacts I definitely didn’t ‘borrow’
✨ And the mail chute that has seen things no chute should ever see

Right then. Let’s begin.

A richly detailed illustration of an old-fashioned study viewed from behind a tufted leather captain’s chair. The chair faces a large dark wooden desk, which holds two vintage rotary telephones, a stack of papers, and several books. Beyond the desk are two red velvet armchairs out of shot, but symmetrically placed on a Persian rug. At the far end of the room, a panelled oak double door is flanked by tall bookshelves filled with colourful, leather-bound books. Above the door hangs a gilt-framed oil painting of a sailing ship. The room is warmly lit by vintage wall sconces, creating a cosy, mystical atmosphere inside the BBHQ bunker at www.bionicbasil.com

Welcome to My Office, Mew Guys  

Now, follow me. Mind the rug; it sometimes wrinkles, posing a trip hazard.

🐾 The Vibe

As mew can see, I’ve gone for a classic aesthetic: dark oak panelling, floor‑to‑ceiling bookcases, and enough gravitas to make visiting dignitaries sit up straighter, well, that's if I allowed such purrsons to visit. I like a room that exudes authority and is a complete contrast to the rest of the bunker, with its high-tech vibe.

The Furrsian rug? Plush. Luxurious. A tactical choice. It absorbs sound beautifully, which is essential when mew run a top‑secret bunker full of cats who think whispering means “yell quietly.”

🪑 The Desk Setup

This is my purrsonal space, a retreat if mew like, the oak desk is hand‑carved. Heavy enough to withstand mild explosions and really practical too. On top, mew’ll notice:

Two vintage telephones - dudes, I'm old school, what can I say! MOL

My computer pops up out of a secret compartment in the top, that's why mew can't see it right now, (and for Cod's sake, don’t tell anypawdy I can’t use spreadsheets)

A few mission files

And the mail chute, an analogue lifeline in the bunker

The visitor chairs (just out of shot, in the image above) are there for formal meetings, interrogations, nah, just kidding, but perhaps for occasional interventions when somepawdy (usually Fudge, Smooch and/or Parsley) has done something, accidentally on purpose, without meaning to at all, like ever... and it just happened that way!

🖼️ The Art & Artefacts

Now, if mew look around the shelves, mew’ll see my collection of antiquities. I’ve picked these up over the years on missions, adventures, and one very confusing treasure hunt that turned out to be in another dimension, but let's not get off track! MOL

An oil painting of The Crimson Revenge above the door, maps of forgotten realms, relics that hum if mew get too close, it’s all part of the aesthetic. I like a room with history. Preferably, my history.

🌳 The Tapestry of the Tree of Life

Ah yes. This meauty. On the wall behind my desk.

A fantasy‑style illustration of a large, ancient tree glowing softly in a mystical forest. Ten cats sit on the branches and at the base of the tree, each drawn with their real‑life markings. Magical symbolic items float around them, including an orb, a heart, a book, a wand, a compass, a sword, a gilded wing, a paw sigil, a set of golden scales, and an infinity symbol. The scene is framed with ornate gold detailing, and the atmosphere feels enchanted and warm, as though each cat and symbol holds a deeper meaning. At www.bionicbasil.com

Mew see this tapestry? Impressive, isn’t it? 

That’s because it is. It was crafted by Druids, proper ancient ones, using threads infused with magickal waters from Bubastis. Yes, that Bubastis. The Temple of Bastet. The oldest, purest feline magick in existence.

The oddest thing, we each hold an object in the scene, but sometimes those objects decide to float around the picture, like right now! MOL

Humphrey: The Sword ~ Protection, loyalty, silent strength.

Posie: The Orb ~ Insight, intuition, clarity.

Amber: The Book ~ Knowledge, wisdom, archives, memory.

Smooch: The Heart ~ Healing, love, emotional core.

Pandora: The Wand ~ Magick, spells, transformation, chaos‑spark.

Snowie: The Box ~ Mystery, purity, containment of hidden power.

Parsley: The Gilded Wing ~ Speed, agility, ascension.

Fudge: The Pawsa (Paw Sigil, like a Hamsa) ~ Grounding, guardianship, physical strength.

Melvyn: The Compass ~ Direction, intuition, and the ability to always find his Uncle Basil.

Me, Basil: The Infinity Sign & The Scales ~ Destiny, balance, leadership, judgement.

I didn’t commission it because it looked nice (though it does). I had it made for my furmily, the B Team, the BBHQ crew, every soul who’s ever stood with us.

Each thread is bound with that sacred water, and those threads link every one of us together. Not just in this life, but in all lives. Past, present, future. No matter where we wander, no matter what happens, we’ll always find our way back to each other.

Some call it destiny.

Some call it magick.

I call it… making sure my furmily is never alone.

The tapestry grows as new members join us. It shifts, it changes, it remembers. It’s alive in the way old magick always is, quiet, powerful, and slightly unnerving if mew stare at it too long.

And yes, before mew ask, it does mean mew might occasionally feel like somepawdy’s watching over mew, and I'll turn around to see everypawdy waving at me, it's quite surreal! MOL That’s the threads. They’re doing their job.

📚 The Bookcases

These shelves contain everything from ancient magical tomes to mission logs to a surprisingly large section on biscuits. Some books are chained. Some whisper. One sneezes. I don’t talk about that one.

📨 The Mail Chute

This connects to the mailbox outside the main gates; small items only. Large parcels have to be fetched! MOL

It also connects all sixteen levels. It’s efficient and reliable, but it occasionally delivers things I didn't order. Pandora swears she’s not using it for potion experiments. I remain unconvinced.

gold filigree scroll divider

And that, my esteemed guests, concludes our tour of my office, BBHQ’s most old-fashioned room and the only one where the rug matches my magnificence, only kidding! MOL

Mew’ve seen the oak panelling.
Mew’ve admired the tapestry.
Mew’ve resisted (I hope) the urge to spin my chair, it's lethal at high speed!

Consider yourselves officially initiated into the uppermost secrets of the bunker. I hope mew enjoyed it? If not, please don't leave a bad review on YOWLP. Yeah, I don't know if I could handle that! MOL

Next month, we’ll explore further, and trust me, things only get stranger, louder, and more interesting from here. Sixteen levels is a lot of bunker, and I intend to show mew as much as I can, and perhaps even the highly suspect broom cupboard where Gregory the Mop lives.

In the meantime, stay alert, stay fluffy, and if mew hear mysterious noises coming from the mail chute… no mew didn’t.

Until then...

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **IT SNOWED** ~ Parsley, Pandora and Melvyn Are Unimpressed, Smooch Lounging in The Lounge, and Hanging Off The Sofa with Fudge ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

Whimsical digital collage titled “Midweek News Round Up with The B Team ©BionicBasil®.” Ten cats with varied fur patterns sit in a row at the bottom, each with distinct expressions. Behind them are illustrated elements including newspapers, trees, and a frosty blue sky adorned with bunting flags, evoking a winter garden theme. A speech bubble in the top right corner says, “WHAT’S THE GOSSIP THIS WEEK?” adding a playful, newsy vibe to the scene.

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the first BBHQ midweek news round-up of 2026!

We hope your start to the mew year has been epic. 

Let's dive straight into the Mewton-Clawson weather report, one word - UUUUUGGGGHHHHH! But seriously, it got cold, then colder, then it decided to snow and freeze everything into a winter wonderland, which looked really pretty for about three minutes from the window. But really spoiled our mood when the door was opened and we got ambushed full force by an Arctic blast, with no respect or due diligence for feline sensibilities.

Thank cod the woodburner is in full swing, at least the sitting room is totally tropical, otherwise, we'd all be having a horrid start to January! MOL 

This was Monday night when the snow started, and yes, the T.T.T.B. has a mood light - well, mew wouldn't expect any less from us.

A night time winter scene featuring a traditional British red telephone booth glowing with vibrant pink light from within. Snow blankets the booth, surrounding hedge, and ground, while leafless trees stand silhouetted in the background. Streaks of falling snow add motion to the serene setting. A reflection of the booth appears on a dark surface in the foreground. The image is titled “The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® First Snow at 2026 at BBHQ,” capturing a magical moment of the season’s first snowfall at www.bionicbasil.com

And here's the full moon at 7.13 am on Sunday morning.

An early morning sky scene capturing the first full moon of 2026 on January 4th. It was shining like a glowing orb through the bare branches of leafless trees, casting a greenish lens flare. The sky is deep blue and speckled with stars, with a streak of light suggesting a passing satellite or aircraft. In the lower corner, part of a building roof is visible. The image is titled “The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® First Full Moon of 2026 – 4th January,” blending celestial wonder with a peaceful winter morning. At www.bionicbasil.com

It looks like it was nesting in the tree! MOL

Oh, and, and, and, guess what? Well, that's a rather bonkers question, because here at BBHQ, it could be anything from a wild pawty to a looping timeline, yes, we've had all that happen in the last few days! MOL

So, we'll just tell mew, we created a new page.

 OH MY COD, we hear mew say, what is it?

Well, there's the thing, because the Basilverse keeps getting riotously unpredictable as each year passes, don't ask why, we didn't plan it, it's just been an organic evolution of epic chaos that seems to have a mind of its own, and it's pretty much uncontainable at this point. So we decided to create a NEW READER STARTER PAGE.

Just look at the top-left sidebar or the page navigation above. Basically, it's to give a clear, friendly starting point so mew can explore the Basilverse without getting lost at BBHQ and in the bunker’s ever‑expanding maze of adventures, mysteries, and mildly explosive side‑quests. And to stop new readers from immediately getting bewildered, bamboozled, or teleported somewhere unexpected before they’ve even met the B Team.

Do mew like it?

Also, Pandora launched a brand new post on Monday, The Monthly Meow'o'Scope, so if mew missed what's in store for January, go take a look, as every star sign is there. Well, mew know she's into all that stuff, we just saw her heading off to the Crystal Room, with a new Tarot Deck, a bag of runes, a sage stick and a travel cup of catnip tea! MOL

So yes, it’s all go here as usual. Never a dull moment at BBHQ, mew know how it is!

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's news.

First up in the news

Parsley, Pandora and Melvyn Are Unimpressed


Indoor scene featuring three cats on a woven rug in a cozy room with wooden flooring. In the foreground, a black cat (Parsley) sits facing away from the camera, observing two other cats, Melvyn, a white and brown tabby cat, and Pandora, a dark-coloured torti cat, who sit close together in the background. The atmosphere suggests a quiet moment of feline contemplation. The image is titled “The Midweek News at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Parsley, Pandora and Melvyn Are Unimpressed at the weather,” capturing their collective disapproval of the wintry conditions outside. At www.bionicbasil.com

These three were severely unimpressed with the weather over the last few days.

Here's their conversation

Parsley (black cat in foreground): "Right, who ordered the Arctic blast? Because I’d like to return it. With claws."

Pandora (fluffy torti cat): "I stepped outside for two seconds, and my floof froze mid‑swish. I’m basically a walking icicle now."

Melvyn (white and brown tabby): "I saw snowflakes. Actual snowflakes. Falling. From the sky. Like some kind of frosty betrayal."

Parsley: "And the humans call it pretty. Pretty?! It’s a full-scale feline emergency. My paws are still recovering from last year’s frost trauma."

 Pandora: "I vote we barricade the door, light the woodburner, and declare a state of bunker hibernation."

Melvyn: "Agreed. I’ve already scheduled a nap in front of the fire and cancelled all outdoor missions until spring."

Parsley: "Excellent. Operation: No Snow Shall Touch These Toe Beans is officially underway.

The P.A. took down the Catmas trees, and she always leaves the smaller wicker tree skirt for a few weeks, as Smooch loves it as a bed once it's turned upside down.

He had the purrfect amount of catitude today and even said, "Meowmy, it should say Zero Fluffs Given!" MOL

The P.A. replied. "Melvyn, leave that with me, I can make that happen!"

So watch this space for Melvyn's design request.

There were no distractions on the catwalk this week, except for Were-Dee-Go, aka W.D.G., the invisible monster who usually lives behind the sofa in the sitting room. However, in recent weeks, he's actually made it into the kitchen, and today, he had a new spot. Watch the video to find out where W.D.G. is this week! MOL

Cosmic tip: Chase the red dot of destiny.

Mew start the year with the Moon exalted in Taurus on Jan 1,  meaning mew’re basically the emotional CEO of the zodiac right now. Comfort, snacks, and naps are your divine right. The Full Moon in Cancer on Jan 3 amplifies your desire to nest.

Comfort is your kingdom, and January brings premium napping opportunities. A new blanket, a warm lap, or a sun‑puddle will become your personal temple. Expect extra treats; humans are feeling generous. Milk it.

Cosmic tip: Claim every blanket. They belong to mew anyway.

Mercury is busy this month, moving into Capricorn on Jan 17, sharpening your mind like a fresh scratching post. Mew’ll be extra chatty, extra clever, and extra nosy. Expect to insert yourself into every conversation, cupboard, and grocery bag.

Your chatty side is in full bloom. Meow loudly. Chirp at birds. Hold full conversations with your human while staring right at them and use slow blinks. Communication is your superpower this month, and the universe is listening… even if your human pretends not to.

Cosmic tip: Meow loudly. The universe is listening.

🐱 Cancer Cat (June 21–July 22)

The Full Moon in Cancer on Jan 3 is your personal emotional supurr‑bowl. Mew may feel extra snuggly, extra sensitive, or extra dramatic (all valid). Jupiter retrograde in Cancer keeps Mew reflective, but in a cosy, curled‑up‑in‑a‑box way.

Mew’re feeling extra snuggly, sweet, and emotionally intuitive. If your human is stressed, sit on their chest. If they’re sad, bring them your favourite toy (or a slightly chewed sock). Your nurturing vibes are off the charts.

Cosmic tip: If mew need to cry, do it on your human’s clean laundry.

With Venus and Mars shifting into Aquarius later in the month, your relationships get a quirky twist. Expect admirers. Expect drama. Expect applause. Mew may also attempt a bold new stunt, like leaping onto the top shelf.

Cosmic tip: Pose. Hold. Wait for admiration.

🐱 Virgo Cat (August 23–September 22)

Mew’re in full organisational mode. Toys must be arranged. Litter must be pristine. Humans must follow your schedule precisely. If they don’t, give them the look. Mew know the one.

Capricorn energy dominates the first half of the month, and mew LOVE a good structured vibe. Mercury in Capricorn on Jan 17 helps mew organise your toys, your routines, and your humans. Mew may even attempt to clean the house, well, judge others for not doing it properly! MOL

Cosmic tip: Alphabetise your treats.

🐱 Libra Cat (September 23–October 22)

Indecision strikes again. Window perch or radiator bed? Feather wand or crinkle ball? Sit on the laptop or the laundry? The stars advise: choose both. Gracefully. With style.

Venus enters Aquarius on Jan 17, giving mew a burst of social sparkle. Mew’ll want to charm everypawdy, humans, other cats, and in extreme cases, the vacuum cleaner (maybe). Decision‑making is still hard, but at least mew’ll look fabulous while hesitating.

Cosmic tip: Choose the comfiest spot. Then choose another one.

At www.bionicbasil.com

🐱 Scorpio Cat (October 23–November 21)

Your mysterious aura intensifies. Mew may disappear for hours only to reappear silently behind your human, judging them. Mew may stare into the void for dramatic effect. Mew may plot. The cosmos approves.

Mars entering Aquarius on January 23rd stirs your inner rebel. Mew may knock things off shelves “just because.” Neptune’s shift into Aries adds a mystical edge to your plotting. Mew’re mysterious, powerful, and slightly chaotic.

Cosmic tip: Stare into the void. It stares back respectfully.

🐱 Sagittarius Cat (November 22–December 21)

Adventure calls loudly this month. With the Sun entering Aquarius on Jan 20, mew’re ready to explore new territories, behind the sofa, under the bed, inside the forbidden cupboard. Your curiosity is unstoppable.

Your inquisitiveness becomes turbo‑charged, and your sense of boundaries (yours or anypawdy else’s) becomes… theoretical at best. Expect spontaneous expeditions, dramatic leaps, and at least one moment where your human says, “How did mew even get up there?”

Cosmic tip: If a door is closed, demand it be opened.

🐱 Capricorn Cat (December 22–January 19)

The first half of the month is YOUR domain, Sun, Mars, Venus, and Mercury all pass through Capricorn at some point. Mew’re focused, determined, and ready to snoopervise every human task. Mew are the boss. Everypawdy knows it.

Mew’re all business. Serious loafing. Serious grooming. Serious snoopervision of human activities. If they’re working, mew’re working. If they’re relaxing, mew’re snoopervising their relaxation. A true professional.

Cosmic tip: Sit on the paperwork. It’s your throne.

🐱 Pisces Cat (February 19–March 20)

Dreamy, floaty, magical vibes surround mew. Mew may stare at dust motes for hours or drift into naps so deep mew forget where mew are. Your imagination is your playground, enjoy the cosmic daydreams.

Neptune leaves your sign on Jan 26 after 14 years, a HUGE shift. Mew may feel lighter, clearer, or slightly confused (normal). Dreamy vibes remain strong, but now mew’re ready to turn visions into reality… or at least into naps.

Cosmic tip: Follow the sparkly dust mote. It knows things.

In cosmic grace and ethereal light...
