I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I didn't imprint on Sneakers at an early age. Whyever would you think that.
Custom document template in the Scrivener writing app. The title of the document template is "Fractal Development Sketch". The first heading is "Name of Core Concept", the sub-heading is "Specialty Area." Beneath that are four secondary headings covering their own sections: "Posit", "Consequence", "Result", "Conclusion." This echoes a repeated dialog between two characters in the film Sneakers.

Zeus came to us at 17, and we had about six wonderful months with him before he passed. (Since he came to us at 17 and had been found in somewhat rough shape before he was brought to the shelter, we understood this might be a short-lived adoption. We loved him for as long as we could.)
Picture of a black cat sleeping on my leggy, with one of his own leggys stretched out towards the camera. He looks very soft and pettable and serene.

I kind of miss them. But he seems earnest enough, and if realizing they’ve been crossing a busy street to get food and pets elsewhere convinces him to keep them the fuck indoors I am really okay with this.

Twitter post from user Chris Hallbeck “Well the weather outside is frightful But inside is equally frightful No matter which room you go Full of crows Full of crows Full of crows.” Post from tumblr user Schmergo “Some witches once told me The throne was gonna hold me I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed They were looking kind of weird They were women but with beards And they said there’d be a crown upon my head See a dagger coming and it won’t stop coming Home to my wife and we murder King Duncan Didn’t make sense not to go for the crown Your cred goes up but your mind goes down So much to plot, so much to scheme So what’s wrong with taking the king’s seat? You’ll never know if you don’t go You’ll never shine till you kill Banquo Hey now, you’re a Scot star, get your kilt on, go slay Hey now, thane of Cawdor, get the show on, this play And all the witches agree None of women born can harm thee. Diagram, in the style of a health or exercise diagram, of a man doing the “Head, shoulders, knees and toes” dance. Only in this case the last step isn’t “toes,” it’s crows. He’s being attacked by crows, or possibly he’s just summoned them. Post from tumblr user Skoople: “Is it just me or does the way people treat dopamine and serotonin in modern pop psych context read exactly like balancing the humors?” Reply from user A Sentient Cup: “Ah, the four humors: dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, and adrenaline.”

One of those "it's actually ephebophilia" creeps for your blocking consideration.
Kingfisher & Wombat @tkingfisher.com. 12m Now, giving the benefit that you are that 1%, if I kept having a whole bunch of people say "Dude, saying this is socially unacceptable and makes you look creepy af" I would stop and think about whether this was actually what I wanted to be associated with. Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social .2m The fact that you have delusional fantasies has nothing to do with me. I hope you get the help you obviously need. Correctly identifying Epstein's criminal perversion does not require me to accept your delusions.

I had this inflicted on me on tumblr and now I have to share it with my Canadian friends here because WHAT.
A post on the reddit forum r/StupidFood with the caption "This is supposed to be poutine..." The post is the first of two pictures, a wooden slab for a plate and seven fries, seven individual fries laid out on a sauce line of what I assume is gravy, the fries on the gravy and not the gravy on the fries, with little blobs of some kind of cheese and two tiny parsleys on each cheese blob. I don't know what kind of cheese that is and I'm not sure I care given that every other part of this alleged poutine is a horror and an insult to poutine. This is horrendous. This is gentrified. This is an abomination unto carbs and fats.

Our beautiful Barton, lost to a sudden and unrelenting colon cancer last fall. Also seen in that last picture with his buddy Cassius; they had around ten wonderful years together, first in our garage and then when we had room, in the house.
A black cat with a small short-nosed face, one ear tipped, and one white whisker. He is receiving his due share of pets. A black cat has sprawled out over the bed with his chin resting on my leg (over the fleece blanket) as if to say “It is naptime now, Mom.” Two black cats in the sun on a hardwood floor, one long and lean (with a hungry look) making the outer spoon and the other short and round and pleasingly plump, making the inner spoon.

Conversations with the husband in question.
Text exchange involving a picture of the aurora borealis with black silhouettes of trees. Him: Was that last night? Me: Yep Text exchange continuing from previous image: Me: If you want to see the Northern Lights they’re supposed to be visible again tonight. Him: Yay! What time? Me: Probably shortly after dark. We can go out back when you get home.

I think the crows may be getting used to the increased number of cats. They were perfectly happy to eat at the same time as Felix Doe, the International Cat of Mystery, but they did a great clamor when Pumpkin and Callie came to eat. Less so today.
An orange cat eats on a brick stoop from a small bowl of broth and meat chunks with a bowl of cat kibble behind him. Somewhat in the distance on a leaf-covered lawn a crow (just past the black bird feeder post so it looks like it’s sitting in the bowl) sifts through the fallen leaves for worms and seeds.

Out of a need to control my environment because of *gestures at everything* over the last six weeks I’ve undertaken an office bathroom renovation, and now my bathroom sink looks like this:
A white bathroom vanity, not that you can TELL from the amount of crap on it. Beauty products, two doorknobs (one with significantly more parts outside of the box than the other), a humidifier shaped like a dumpling, a jug of paint stripper (orange), plastic bags for litter scooping, a camera bag, a jar of paint brushes, and one cabinet door on top of the sink instead of on the cabinet where it should be (hence the gap in the vanity).

Pixie just got her stitches from her own spay out. She’s mostly forgiven me for stuffing her into a box again.
A tabby kitten sprawled out over my black sweatpants clad lap. She is tolerating me because I’m petting her.

EXACTLY. He’s the kind of guy that my mom and I discuss before we both go
Comic strip from Emily’s Cartoons: Panel 1: Two people talking. “Let’s not talk about politics anymore, I can’t bear it.” “Same.” Panel 2: Silent beat. Panel 3: Two people talking again. “The thing is, though!” “Those fucking idiots!”

PO TAY TO
A bowl of potato soup with spoon on a stove, and by bowl I mean Wonder Woman latte mug with the W symbol facing the camera. Across and to the right is the giant pot of potato soup with a red ladle leaning on it.

The horrors persist but I was actually able to call these two over from a neighbor’s house so they could get some kibble and a Delectables stew pack each.
An orange cat and a calico cat crouched almost identically side by side eating out of small aluminum bowls on my brick stoop. They’re both fully large adults, with appetites to match.

Executive chairman of what now?

Three crows on a leaf-covered lawn are digging for, probably, mealworms.

We have successfully affixed Board over Hole. No kittens will be escaping into the walls on our watch and now we can use this damn cabinet. I have no idea when we last opened it but all this crap is getting thrown out.

Except the baby velociraptor. That can stay.
A burgundy-framed wall-inset medicine and sundries cabinet with a lot of very old bottles and tubes and things and one baby velociraptor toy in the lowest left-hand corner.

Good morning! It is Pixie time.
A tabby kitten with white nose and feet and a black camo surgery suit on her body sits nestled in the arms of her human and looks fairly placidly at the camera. She’s feeling much better today.

Thing From Grandparents House looks like this by the way. If anyone would like to tell me what country it’s from … India? Sri Lanka? Bangladesh? Aaaangola, I think? Spain? (Unlikely.) Chile? Russia? (Also unlikely I think.) I’m just sort of randomly naming off countries Grandpa had worked in.
A wooden mask of some kind with big teeth, eyes, ears? Or maybe they’re side wings? With either fires or fiery feathers coming out of the tip and sides, and tongue sticking out.

Callie* and Pumpkin are back! They’re still pretty chill around us, Callie seems to have mostly forgiven me for the abduction attempts. Either that or she doesn’t hold it against Mr. Chandler because he was able to wave the chip reader over both of them. No chips that we can find.

An orange cat (front of shot) and a calico cat (back of shot) sit eating broth out of a small bowl on a brick stoop. They’re both very focused on their bowls.
