Additionally, Kind Bars contain inulin (aka chicory root fiber), which is extremely evil to your gastrointestinal tract. So NO on two accounts!

RIP Chris March. Who was actually a good guy. Unlike Willy.

To be fair, Cookie Monster does attack his delicious prey quite violently!

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Maine Coons, as you may know, bond very closely with their person. Many years ago, I adopted another MC who had to be rehomed b/c of trauma. It took months of incremental steps to earn her trust, & eventually, her love. Leo is doing remarkably well considering what he has been through. 🧡🦁🧡🦁🧡

Leo is making progress every day. Chris rescued Leo from behind a liquor store dumpster when he was a tiny kitten. They were together for 10 years. It is a big adjustment. He is a big love bug. 🦁🦁🦁

Leo, a brown mackerel tabby, Maine Coon, peers out the bedroom window at night. While his baby brother, part Siamese tabby Kevin looks at him, from the giant bright orange floral duvet.

Context: Kipnuk, a Yup'ik village near Bering Sea in SW Alaska, was hit with a massive storm and flooding last August, too. Last spring, it won a $20M grant for erosion control.

The GOP's Bugly Bill killed the grant program, which allocated 2.8B to communities hardest hit by climate change.

FB reports of major flood damage in Kipnuk - homes and store floating, people swimming.
Very high water in Quinhagak as well.

Tfw you keep checking the counter to see how many more to go until he can be unleashed on the world: 35! It’s only 35 to go!!

These guys need a new friend:

Two kitty plushies, one is a yellow medieval kitty with a grin and a sword and the other is a round, brown, very soft kitty with big, round, pleading eyes.
