On this week's Ted Lasso, Roy said 4:00 am is the best time to attack someone because that's when people are least prepared to defend themselves. Well hahahaha on you potential murderers: 4:00 am is when I'm wide awake in bed ruminating over all the mistakes in my life but ALSO feeling rage at all the people who have fucked me over at one point. Bring it on, psychos, at 4:00 am I'm just looking for a reason

I mean, how cute is Moo this morning?! #caturday

Jesus Christ on a bicycle…this guy.

How’s a 12-year-old incest victim supposed to show “proof”? Within a couple of weeks or most likely a couple of days? You have to prove your abuse to Ron DeSantis when a lot of this goes unreported and not prosecuted to start with?

This is a Republican for President.

Behold a tiny but brave blue-gray gnatcatcher buzzing the head of a red-shouldered hawk. The hawk was facing me moments before but spun around to see the intruder. 10APR23 Alexandria, Virginia, USA.

“What’s that?”

"It’s a therapy cat.”

"It looks like a chihuahua."

"That’s why the therapy.”

Mega corporations have an unapologetic and unhidden profit motive. They take much criticism for this motive.

But there's a big difference between the approach to resisting racism and fascism taken by companies like Disney and Nike (push back hard), and the approach taken by organizations like the New York Times, the College Board, and now the book publisher Scholastic (enable).

You can't appease both fascists and their victims at the same time. You have to choose.

The kittens are a year old today! Here are a couple of early pictures to celebrate.

The first is when they were two weeks old. Princess was strutting around as we looked at them and held them; she was *so* proud!

The next is 3 days after they moved in, a couple of days before they were a month old. The first couple of days Princess fed them in her little safe corner, but by the 3rd day she was comfortable enough to come out of hiding.
