I just tried it in a browser where I’m not logged in to my account and it works for me, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe one day they’ll focus on assignjng unique codes. But today is not that day.

Bones & Basil remind me of my beloved Max & Zak, who we brought home under similar circumstances in Chicago back in 1998.

Their person was devastated to part with them, but they lived for many years with us, until each died of old age, and were the sweetest pair ever. #Caturday

Next, Basil’s buddy Bones, a gorgeous 4 yo tuxedo: “Bones is a tough guy who lets his soft side show with the humans he bonds with. Once he bonds with someone, he’ll approach you and let you know when he wants love, often by meowing at your feet and jumping up into your arms to be held!” 3/

First, Basil, who is 3 years old.

“Basil is a sweet cuddle bug who loves lots of attention and being vocal! He is extremely affectionate and needs plenty of love and lap time. He loves to meow and chat, so he is best for a home that will love his expressiveness!” 2/

Urgent MSP #Caturday 🧵: these two handsome boys need a loving home as circumstances sadly force their person to part with them.

Bones & Basil are a bonded pair and need to stay together. Both are vaxxed, neutered, and very sociable. 1/

There’s no paywall on this tragic personal story by Kennedy’s stoic cousin Tatiana Schlossberg.

But also, as I was searching in vain for a “gift” link I remembered that everyone with a @hclib.bsky.social card can read the entire New Yorker for free with the Libby app. 🌠

such great branding

Same. I am not much for woo woo but I nonetheless believe in this kind of ghost and I think my dear departed companion cats are with me still in some way, in the same way my brother and grandmother are w

“When you cross the street in Akita now, you look right, you look left, and then you look for bears,” said Akihiro Suzuki, 65, a retired government worker.

“You never know when a bear might be around.”

I wonder if Cunningham will last long enough or tank the U badly enough that they’ll make a movie starring Meryl Streep

BIG smile from Gerald

I moved the Purrniture™️ into the kitchen so I can mop the dining room floor and Gerald just hops right up: “ok! Fine by me!”

The other two fled to safety and are nowhere to be seen. They are convinced that no good can come from even a minor, temporary change in their surroundings.

Have you paged thru this tiny little tome? I am going to buy a copy for my niece, who recently moved to NYC and is decidedly not a fan of pigeons. I will sway her. I will influence her. I will help her see the beauty that surrounds us.
