The US is projecting:
"The U.S. suggests that Europe is being enfeebled by its immigration policies, declining birthrates, "censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition" and a "loss of national identities and self-confidence."

Because I'm sick there is sweat and my young cat Mishka is obsessed with licking as much as she can reach, to the point I am wondering if she is missing salt from her diet???
It's that or she finds the taste of suffering delicious ,it's 50/50 chance.

"While Europeans were told that their governments were negotiating a landmark law to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and climate damage, a secretive alliance of US fossil fuel giants was working behind the scenes to destroy it."

Mishka doing her best Garfield impression😂
The image depicts a cat sitting on its hind legs on a couch. The cat is the main subject of the image and is positioned in a peculiar manner, with its front paws resting on the cushion in front of it and its rear legs elevated off the surface, giving the impression that it is sitting upright in a human-like fashion. The cat's fur is predominantly a mix of brown and white hues, with a distinctive darker-colored spot visible on its chest area. It has green eyes, a pink nose, and a pair of large ears that are alert and pointed towards the camera. The background of the image features a dark brown leather seat, which provides a striking contrast to the cat's lighter-colored fur. A small chunk of brown couch is also visible in the image, adding depth to the scene. On the left side of the image, a small wooden shelf with a mouse on top can be seen, suggesting that the image was taken in an office or home setting. Overall, the image presents a lighthearted and humorous scene, with the cat's anthropomorphic pose and expressive facial features contributing to its playful and endearing nature.

I read Phenagris by @anna-orridge.bsky.social last night. A delightful slice of horror wrapped up in a novella. Took me no time time devour. It pulls no punches, drawing in some truly difficult themes.

Highly recommend!

Phengaris is out today!

17yo Mark is doing home hospice for his mother, and seeks respite (often of the chemical sort) in Thurstrop Wood. But this suburban nature reserve is not the peaceful haven it seems.

Went to bed shivering and retching,spent the night being freezing while also being too hot,still sick this morning.A day on the couch it is, I hate winter bugs, they tend to hit much harder now I am vintage, verging on antique.
The image shows a whimsical illustration of a cozy bedroom, featuring a woman sleeping in bed and surrounded by domesticated cats. Upon closer inspection, even more cats can be spotted peering out from behind furniture or sitting on pieces of furniture. The bed, upon which the woman sleeps, features a blue patterned comforter adorned with red accents and a white headboard. Next to the bed, a well-used leather couch is surrounded by cats and accompanied by a wooden side table featuring a lit lamp upon it. Many more cats peer upwards at her from various vantage points around the room. The room's walls are covered in a patterned and flowered wallpaper. Three hanging pictures and a painting hang on the wall, depicting the woman's husband and their two children. A low light emanates from beneath the closed curtains near the window indicating lights shining from outside. The night sky zips through the window's open framing, a star and moon visible. The floor is covered with what appear to be torn yellow pieces of paper and includes what looks like, underneath the front legs of the couch, a leather satchel. The walls are covered with various paintings and decorations, such as figurines and ceramic sculptures. Overall, the illustration portrays a cozy and comfortable bedroom scene, with the woman surrounded by her feline friends and enjoying a peaceful slumber.

Sunset at 15.33pm today, nearly solstice ✨❄️☃️🦌🕯️
The image is a whimsical illustration of a rabbit and a squirrel in a fantastical setting. On the left-hand side of the image, a rabbit stands facing the squirrel. It wears a green, pointy hat with a feather tucked into it, and has a white polka-dot collar around its neck. The rabbit's large, round eye is red, and its orange eyelashes are long and curling upwards. Its furry brown snout has brown spirals on either side, and whiskers protrude from each side. The rabbit's ear has a swirl at the top and is being highlighted by a light bouncing off it. On the right-hand side of the image, a squirrel stands facing the rabbit. It holds a long, wheat-colored scroll or rolled-up black and white square in front of its chest with its back paws. Its other two legs are raised behind it, allowing the squirrel to hover slightly above the ground. The squirrel has long auburn fur, white underside fur, and a white underside tail. It has black and white tail tufts, as well as white markings surrounding its black nose—its mouth is stretched into a smile. It has brown irises with vertical, white pupils, and long orange eyelashes. Thin, orange roots of fur are growing horizontally along both sides of its face. In the background, a large white moon is surrounded by purple, swirling clouds. The bottom right-hand corner features an illegible, cursive signature, with shimmering, light-blue snow in the background throughout the image. Both animals are contained centrally inside the foreground of the image.
