Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and fury. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

Absolutely beautiful story about community and solidarity and collaboration and making it through together.

Happy New Year, everyone!

This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.
Title: New year's resolution A man sits at a table with a coffee writing in a notebook: “This year i will devote myself completely to reading serious, improving literature, forsaking easy pleasures and tirelessly seeking out truth and profundity in the work of the greatest writers.” He looks at it Says: Hmm... then “Scratch Scratch Scratch scratch” scribbles out words until the text reads: “This year I will read for Fun”

Caught some dramatic evening sunlight on a short hike

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

In case anyone was wondering how I spent most of the weekend: with 1-2 cats on the sofa

#caturday (albeit belatedly)
Two cats curled up on a blanket (under which is curled up a human, but the human isn’t really visible). One cat (black) rests his head on the other (tabby) cat’s neck, both are happily asleep Same blanket, same (not visible) human and the tabby cat again, front legs stretched out ahead of him and resting his little face between them

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻

Enter if you dare...🚪
A black background decorated with gold illustrations of branches, stars, swords, ravens, and tiny ghost shapes. In the centre, bold text reads: “BIRDS BUT THEY GET SPOOKIER EACH TIME.” Two ravens perch on bare branches at the bottom, with candles glowing beside them.

My lunch break walk today reminding me that #autumn is actually my favourite season
A field of grass with trees in fall colours in the background- and prominently in the foreground, a big mushroom. It is long and gray, with a black curling edge at the bottom of the cap. I have no idea what mushroom it is. A stream, some fallen leaves, trees, a big cloud in the sky, but sunshine hitting the grass by the side of the stream nonetheless

THE LONDON ECONOMIC "We should all be angry that we had 14 years of Tory austerity. They shut our libraries, they shut our community centres. And then to say integration is a problem - how do you expect people to integrate if you've taken away their services?" -ZACK POLANSKI, GREEN PARTY LEADER

happy #caturday from the boys
Atlas and Cosmos curled up together like parentheses in a gray sofa Cosmos has decreed Atlas to be his pillow; Atlas is allowing it

To keep it up after hiking part of the #GR34 in Brittany until a week ago, today I hiked the 3rd stage of the #dutchmountaintrail through the raw, untamed wilderness of South Limburg‘s #heuvelland (aka ‘hill-land)
a meadow, blue sky, and a bit of a tree hanging into frame from the top another meadow. this one has cows chilling on the grass, and some trees in the back an unpaved path, a hiker’s gate, and some meadows, framed by trees a tree by a little brook, the air hazy with summer warmth and sunlight

So I hear it’s #internationalcatday, is it
a smokey black cat, Cosmos, and a tabby with white spots, Atlas, are fast asleep all cuddled up on a windowsill Atlas, a tabby with white socks, chin and spots is showing off his spotted belly, asleep in a cat bed in a weird position, as cats do Atlas and Cosmos on yet another windowsill, asleep, with Cosmos stretching out the toes on one paw, while a grumpy cat toy rests next to him Cosmos in a bizzare stretch. He’s got his one eye open, and a tiny bit of teeth peaking out

some flowers from the garden #bloomscrolling 🌱
papaver (possibly false? I am rubbish at identifying plants even in my own garden, please don’t make me) blossoming bright red, the pic showing a glimpse of bright yellow centre a bright yellow calendula blooms against a background of green leaves some yellow and salmon nasturtium blossoms peeking out from under the characteristic nasturtium leaves a white foxglove (with purple specks) stands before a wall covered by dark green leaves of hop (what is that in English again, the stuff you make beer from, is it just hop? I haven’t had coffee yet ok)

Is there a better way to kick this off than with #proofofcat?
