Time to catch up on everything and who's migrated over today.

Hi, I'm LeafStranger, I cosplay angry redheads and characters for whom it'd make sense to hand out cookies, and sometimes there's crossover. Most of my posts will be of my pets, or of baking adventures.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

But overall, she's a much better cat to photograph. We went with the red background to contrast with her littermates' photos, plus to show off her ear tufts. It toned down the reds in her coat but caught the contrasts well!

A tortie Maine coon sits on a red background with her back to the camera and her tail draped over the edge of the platform. This photo highlights the ghost markings of a tabby under her tortie coat.

The same cat, same background, with the split markings of a tortie highlighted down her chest: cream/red on one side, black on the other.

The same tortie and background, this time laying down with her tail flat behind her.

Continuing my theme of cat show photos, Gaia got her professional shoot as well, and since she's younger and more playful, she actually went for the toys.

Still, that results in some unflattering shots...

A Maine coon cat is standing up, eyes focused on a toy off camera. The pose makes her belly floof flare out, giving her a muffin top look.

He's a very good boy, he just has no brain.

BIIIIIIG FLOOF!!! ... iiiiitty bitty braincells.

Looool his entire role at the show was to be a comfort squish cat for vendors, Gaia, and me. He fulfilled his tasks well.

LeafStranger @leafstranger.bsky.social · 21h

And then the actual good photo that proved why Ragdolls are used in product photography: we POSED HIM for this and he just sat there without moving once posed.

Excuse me while I crack up at my Ragdoll boy's show photos. He refused to engage with any of the toys wielded by the professional photographer, and as @lazulisong.bsky.social put it... "When not even a professional can make you look like you have anything behind your eyes but air."

So we have ORB.

Gaia's little sister (blue-silver patched tabby, staying with the cattery) got her first show(ish) bath as she's headed to hang out at the Owen Sound show this weekend.

The sheer strength of her "WHYYYY??" pout is hilarious.

A little 4 month old Maine Coon kitten stares accusingly at the camera with her tail tucked primly around her paws as if to protect it.

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

So apparently not everyone knew that some ADHD generics do not appear to function identically?

Just in case it’s helpful, here is a list of things that work for me.

This list is SPECIFIC to Vyvanse only.

‼️‼️Vancouver Friends! A friend's cat has gone missing in the Port Coquitlam area! ‼️‼️

Nero's a black cat, so with Halloween coming up, he is a bit more of a target for people being awful. Please repost and keep an eye out for the boy and get him home ASAP.

Yes, it means no more CFA shows for her, and only one more Grand for her mom to get her Distinguished Merit (basically an award saying she makes beautiful kittens, it's a big deal for breeding cats).

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 5d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.
