happy day after caturday! this is my grandcat leia.

there is one place in this house my cat knows she is not allowed to be on… i think you can guess where that is. happy caturday!

when your bottom bitch dies

[Exit Queen.]

figured since it’s been 5 months, ppl may be wondering how genevieve is doing (great!) as well as the community cats (they’re great too; however, they do not use either “house” i bought them so i’m in the market for a 3rd one). hope all of you are doing great too ♥️

10/10 recommend the bird buddy hummingbird feeder

you try to raise your kids right and then they go and do this

backyard full of pebbles isn’t so cute anymore sine i got these shoes. 4 from the left shoe and 3 from the right.

new house for my favorite two community cats dropped. everyone send good vibes that they actually use this one.

did an uno reverse on my children

some personal news

Amazon union organizer Chris Smalls was on the Gaza freedom flotilla which was just raided by Israeli forces.

just had a coughing fit and my cat was visibly annoyed and repulsed. bitch i clean your litter box, you have a lot of nerve! happy caturday tho; pic unrelated to current location and attitude

genevieve (cat) always looks at me all suspiciously, acting like i didn’t give her the food she’s smelling

this cake is marked as 2 pieces. uh, ok, if someone else is around to see it, sure.

Most cracked out news cycle in recent memory. Big thanks to Minnesota law enforcement for fueling this insane conspiracy theory by posting that picture of the words “no kings” with absolutely zero context

losing my mind that jair bolsonaro is in the hospital for the 7 trillionth time and posted this video on his twitter. he is the michael phelps of being sick

getting his star on the walk of hospital

what’s the time limit on replying to a text you’re going to have to quote, with a joke, and after that, you missed the window? i think 30 min.

Great, ongoing #FOIA work from @kenklippenstein.bsky.social and @bethbourdon.bsky.social KK also had a great 2020 piece for @thenation.com about ICE and CBP each being designated a "security agency" to hide employee info from the public www.thenation.com/article/poli...

y’all. i have ✨thee✨ cutest bananas that grew on my trees!

you know what? i forgot to check.

i just wondered if my bedroom doors have locks on them. i moved into my house 5 months ago.

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

i keep wanting to invite people over tonight and then i remember it’s valentine’s day and no one is gonna come chill on my porch.

happy birthday @neptunesproteus.bsky.social!!!

look what my son designed

i love when cats stand on their back paws

two cars just went down my brick street at least 15mph over the speed limit and i immediately thought “my street needs speed bumps” and now i feel like i’m 100 years old.

just lectured genevieve on scratching at the blinds to scare off a feral kitty i leave food out for. told her to let the kitty eat because it doesn’t have a nice house to live in, and all the toys and treats she has. 2 min later this is where i find genevieve.

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed. Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?) WILD story

lost some banger skeets tonight due to the gummy i take to sleep. don’t do drugs, kids! wouldn’t have thought of the bangers if i weren’t high, though. something to think about.

the tree where abbott did the unveiling had the chance to do the funniest thing ever

found this on my desk this morning. after a few hours, i picked it up and found a note inside.

bought this shelter for the feral kitten i’m trying to befriend. saw it was a green shade close to the color of my house and that it’s insulated, and that it had what i thought were two ways out. turns out one is a window. when it comes, what can i do to make that a flappable exit?

don't let google limit your imagination. be a scientist. return to mistakes.

don’t feel like googling. can i use my fireplace to make brick oven pizza?

until today when i got the chimney inspected, genevieve thought that was her play place and she would make little black paw prints all over the built in shelves where she likes to lay. she is currently across the room with her legs crossed and she seems pissed.

hinge is out of control; unhinged, if you will. (mom joke)

starting off right with brand new stained glass star and penguin decorations i bought from my talented friend Lindsey Parnell. orders are closed through the end of this year, so look here in january for info if you’re into stained glass decorations.

finally got around to hanging up a stained glass piece in my kitchen window that sort of follows the shape of my windows (original to the house, from 1927)
