I adopted Pissfingers. I love her so.
White text on black background. Patsy is 13 years old and was given up to us after her owner no longer wanted her. She does have mild arthritis in which she requires a non prescription supplement on her good once per day (Yumove). Patsy is very loving, on her terms! She does not enjoy being picked up or stroked on her mid/lower back. A quiet home where she is the only pet would suit her best where she can have quiet afternoon naps but join you on the sofa of an evening. (cross emoji) Cannot live with cats, dogs or children. (house emoji) If she was to venture outside, this must be away from main roads and train tracks. We appreciate that cats who have "stricter" requirements may be more difficult to re-home, however these requirements are in place for the benefit of the animal and future adoptees. Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat with a white smudge on her snout, is looking up at the camera and vocally expressing opinions.

Behold, my loaf
Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is sat on a grey couch in a perfect loaf. She has a white patch on the front of her chest and a tiny white splotch on her snout. She is looking at the camera with sleepy disinterest.

Does this help
A close-cropped shot of Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat with big green eyes. She is looking up at the camera and loudly expressing an opinion. Her mouth is open and her lil teeth are showing.

[Turn around]
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, and you're never coming round
[Turn around]
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
[Turn around]
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Pope Leo XIV, in his white papal cassock and skullcap, is stood up talking into a microphone on a stand, in a manner that makes him look like he is singing hard. The background is crowded with journalists, photographers, and one confused cardinal trying to squeeze past.

oh I thought it sounded familiar
Two separate posts by Bluesky user wematterweloveyay in reply to user Velvette: I Need Hormones. This Is Misogny... Screenshot of video game Metal Gear Solid 2. Part of a conversation on the game's radio screen. Colonel Campbell, a military figure, is talking to Raiden, the games pretty blonde protagonist. It is partway through a nonsense sentence. Campbell is saying "does a raw blink on hara-kiri rock. I need scissors! 61!"

A still from the Pokémon cartoon. Meowth is sick, wearing a facemask. Jesse and James have him bundled up in a blanket and have put a cold compress on his head. Jessie is petting him and saying "Health must come first, or else evil can't prosper."

Oh so it is
Patsy, a Tuxedo cat, is lying on the sofa next to the photographer. We can only see the photographer's torso in a dressing gown. Patsy is snuggled into the person's side, and her tail is dangling off the sofa cushion.

Hi from Hay-on-Wye @angiemckeown.bsky.social
The front window of Angie's café in Hay-on-Wye, a very traditional café. A sign in the window proclaims you can obtain "Group Therapy", pictured are a selection of alcoholic drinks. A comic sans stencil on the window reads "TEA CAKES & INSULT'S!" [sic]

I have hired an interior decorator, who is slowly but surely turning everything black
Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is daintily sat on the floor, paws together, looking curiously at the photographer, whose left knee is visible in shot.

This seems*very similar* to paragraphs that have appeared in a good number of recent court decisions that have been immediately followed by the government implementing excoriating crackdowns on the basis of the judgement
Rejecting WMF and BLN’s claims, Mr Justice Johnson said his decision “does not give Ofcom and the Secretary of State a green light to implement a regime that would significantly impede Wikipedia’s operations”.

Apparently they fixed this infamous error in a reprint in the early 2002, but then reprints after that went *back to the uncorrected text*, including the copy currently on my shelf 😭
A passage from Fighting Fantasy book "Creature of Havoc" 213. You reach a dead end. The light is dim and it is difficult to see, so you grope for a possible way onwards. There is none to be found. Will you now continue north (turn to 443) or east (turn to 50)?

I cannot imagine the level of scrutiny the Graun/Observer's legal teams will have put this article through before letting it anywhere NEAR print in this country, but sure, we await your legal advice. Pass me the crisps
Text: In a statement released later on Sunday, Winn said: "Today's Observer article is highly misleading. "We are taking legal advice and won't be making any further comment at this time."
