Two panel comic.

Panel 1: Toes under covers. Cat seen from above is relaxed, ears forward. Caption: OK.

Panel 2: Toes poking out from under covers. Cat seen from above is on high alert, eyes wide, ears all the way back, poised to pounce. Caption: NOT OK!

Didn't think I could like this guy more, but he both takes public transportation and prefers the seat I would never want to sit in myself, leaving the side-facing seats free for the rest of us.

Wasn't there also shell in one? That seems like a bad thing to combine with eating many oysters quickly.

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume.

They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

The data I'm working with today is so dated that I have to laugh.

One person is marked as being a minor with a guardian, but the "child" is named Nancy, and her guardian is listed as Mrs. Initials Lastname.

Surely, Nancy is not just grown but collecting Social Security by now.

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

Hive Mind help.

Are there any crafters or seamstresses that could use some higher end & assorted vintage fabric?

I’m behind financially but have a 2 boxes of beautiful, embroidered silk from India + several others. New condition & will sell cheap so it’s mutually beneficial. Can DM pics.

Also, the curse of Blucifer is dangerous but also protective. His wrath keeps the unspeakable evil* of the airport at a safe distance from the city.

*no lizard people required; years of accumulated frustration from constant renovations and the overall aura of graft covering the place are sufficient

Apparently, I have many things in common with lions.

the lion concerns himself with everything. which is why the lion is on an effective regimen of zoloft and wellbutrin

Alert. And engaged. And not about to flee. I’m so proud of him. This morning was stressful because a stranger had to come into the apartment and make noise and there was noise in the entire building. He reverted to hiding behind the washing machine, which is his ultimate hiding place.
