Oughe Buttons is still looking for her forever home at the rescue she was transferred to. She has had a name change, but that is 100% her. She’s with www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org/adoption-loc... in Stafford, VA!
I hope Brie & Babybel are doing ok. They are such good girls.

Buttons, now Domino, a young white kitten with a cute black triangle on her nose and an all black tail.

We've got some tiny creatures that could use a big favor. In addition to our regular kennels being almost full, our kitten nursery is overflowing with wee little babes that aren't quite ready for adoption - that's where you come in! 💕 🐈

I imagine the copper wire & pipes will fetch a higher cash value considering how little interest there is in preserving the Constitution

Nala is thinking a vampire costume might be the way to go this Halloween. 🧛‍♂️ What do you think?

Forget candy, Nala is hoping for the best treat of all - a new home! Interested in meeting her? Stop by the shelter, we are open 11am-6pm for adoptions!

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

I put out a variety of candies (both chocolate & fruity) & trinket items because some kids have allergies, diabetes, or other dietary restrictions & I want all the kids to walk away something that makes them happy.

We are going to need a new word that encapsulates all of Magas horrors because words like Nazi & fascist don't imply inclusion of sex pests, pedophiles, anti-vaxers, evangelical Zionist, & bleach drinking Internet trolls.

My Plundercat Air shirt arrived today! After I wash it I think I'm going to take in the sleeves & armholes(which is the part I was worried would be too tight for my flabby upper arms😸), to fit me a little better. I'm still glad I got the 2XL because it fits my chest/belly

Business idea: office chairs that are not in fact torture devices for neurodivergent people.

I can't even sit cross legged on these damn things.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

He's a fucking creep.
That was classic negging, PUA misogyny. A dude who says something like that to a woman celebrating her sobriety probably only attends AA for dating. Just skeevy.

During Thanksgiving and holidays, people want to do food drives where they collect canned goods etc... and I really would love to offer that food banks need MONEY so if you can collect and donate MONEY please do that. They can then use those funds to purchase what's needed AT DISCOUNTS.
