Little Dolly, who came to us in a shoebox, was actually the FIFTH kitten orphan to find her way to us this summer. She arrived a few weeks after Chai (brown) & Churro (orange) were found crying outside. These pics are from weeks after they came to us. They were tiny & hungry when we brought them in.

It was my #birthday recently and it’s been a few years since I’ve been able to celebrate. ALSO, I passed my #Italian language test so I can officially apply for citizenship! If you want to #celebrate with me: Kofi: ko-fi.com/therookthera... Animal Rescue #wishlist: www.amazon.it/hz/wishlist/...

Well, well, well. Look who reached 500g… Hello, Dolly! #catsofbluesky

Bump! Hello, Dolly! (At least that’s her current working title.) Believe it or not her eyes ARE improving w/ the help of some antibiotic drops. Thank the gods. Feeding her is easier but still tricky w/ the supplies we have access to in our town. We think she’s about 4 wks old.

This tiny nugget was dropped off at our door over the weekend. We’re working with our town to set up an animal rescue but bureaucracy takes time. Until then we have this little lady & more than a dozen others who need help & can’t wait for the red tape to clear. To help, check out the links below:

I will never understand people who use bots to cheat at chess games online. Like why are you even playing? My opponent played 10 moves himself and turned on bot when he started losing, he turned on the bot. Next 45 moved each took under 2 seconds and all 100% stockfish Then trash talks me 🤷‍♂️

If you ship to Europe and you’re worried about the new PPWR, we wrote up an explainer on it and why we don’t think you actually need to worry over at corvocattivo.it And here’s the threads posts referenced in the write-up:

Reading the #WitchHatAtelier manga, I’m growing more and more convinced that the author wants the readers to desperately WANT Coco to go Brim — the character design is just…

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This is an *excellent* example of inclusive gaming This level in #InfinityNikki is different from the normal gameplay in that it features an unstoppable creature chasing you for the entire level, which requires a degree of quick thinking and dexterity that isn’t needed anywhere else in the game

So, our kids are neurodivergent and we learned this year that their school really isn’t able to teach them There’s a larger school in a nearby town that has teachers that our kids love and who are able to teach them There’s just one problem and that’s why we put this up ko-fi.com/therookthera...
