If only twitter threads were still a thing because I have quite the story to tell about how my destiny of being a cat rescuer is literally being forced upon me.

I currently have seven (7) cats in my house. I’ll tell it one day. Maybe I’ll write it.

But for now, good morning from not my cats:

And today I’ve been speaking to Agnes’ family, not about how she died, but about how she lived. This is who Agnes Wanjiru was, and what she meant to her family:

Since I got married the algorithm has not stopped offering me pregnancy shit. It’s absolutely relentless, and was pretty much immediate — I’m being advertised fertility treatments, solo pregnancy retreats, folic acid supplements.

How do I turn it off?!

Always!

Hannah Al-Othman @hannahalothman.bsky.social · Aug 14

I don’t think August normally is either — but we booked last minute!

Hannah Al-Othman @hannahalothman.bsky.social · Aug 14

Tui and Jet2 — ended up booking with Tui.

Hannah Al-Othman @hannahalothman.bsky.social · Aug 14

Can confirm this was an absolute bargain — and it had a resident cat! Would 1000% book last minute again.

This, from our wedding planner, who literally organises events for her job, is possibly the highest praise I’ve ever received.

It’s going on my CV.

Such little weirdos! This one will eat literally anything — she once licked a knife with chilli oil on it, and yet that still hasn’t put her off stealing food.

There has been a crime.
