In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Husband came downstairs with the butter dish and a puzzled look on his face, to ask if the cats had been with me for the last 15 minutes. He showed me the butter. I am certain both cats were not with me. #GiveMeButterOrGiveMeDeath
An entire previously brand new stick of butter sits on a metal butter dish. The top is lightly scratched all over, in exactly the size and shape of a cat tongue.

Living my best indoor cat life this morning: pancakes for breakfast followed by a cup of tea, classical radio station playing, cozy blanket, good book.

We are beyond honored to have joined Mayor Wilson this morning to announce an executive order for bus lanes on Denny Way. We can't wait to finally Fix the L8 and see what she has in store for the next 4 years of Seattle's transit

People always say "my cat is weird" as if that isn't like saying "my water is wet".

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in an old house with rich wood trims and various mahogany things and frosty windows and it's nightime. Data sits in a cozy chair, staring presumably at a fireplace. There's a orb/night light behind him in the background. He's wearing a robe & pajamas and a long night cap like the one Scrooge always wears in that holiday story about shitty healthcare and wealth inequity. Closed caption reads, "Humbug, I tell you."

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.
Star Trek Voyager scene. It's a romantic evening on the streets of a charming little town with I'm sure a folksy name like 'Fair Haven' or something. Ensign Harry Kim, dressed in an overcoat, leans in with a full heart and closed eyes and kisses a large black and white Holstein cow right on the mouth. Two closed captions are simultaneously present: On Harry's side of the screen the caption reads, "(gasps)" and on the cow side of the screen the caption reads, "(moos)".

Bearcat wishes everyone a very dignified #Caturday
A tabby cat is sprawled playfully in a round plush cat bed. He is chewing on a purple toy held in his paws, and his tail is up and pointing at the camera.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

A brown mackerel tabby cat is curled on a teal couch, paws outstretched, gazing at the camera. He's handsome and he knows it.

Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

The "goose chasing a person" meme. The top panel has a quote of text from the Seattle Times, that reads: "At the outset of the civic adventure of having a new socialist mayor, there is a disconnect between ambitions and basic responsibilities. As Wilson and her allies take a victory lap, they must recognize that three Lake City parks are currently closed due to crime and chaos, and South End residents fear a serial arsonist in their community." The goose asks "who was mayor for the last ten years?" In the second panel, the person running off screen to the left is tagged as "The Seattle Times". The goose chasing after is depicted as yelling "Who was mayor for the last ten years??"
