A gray-brown tabby cat with a white chin and chest patch demands scritches from the photographer. She is wearing a collar with a pink heart-shaped tag and extending her left foreleg across the frame of the photo indicating just how urgently she needs attention.

Luna would like to offer snuggles to all of us who are combining rage, frustration, fatigue and disbelief on this day of right-wing murder and destruction.

Yeah that’s working out

Oh I hope to see video of that someday!

Do they have a hierarchy of spots? My friend’s two cats had an arrangement whereby Amelia would always cede the upper basket to her sister Goldberry.

Pants is overrated. 🚫👖

I would roll over and ask for belly rubs and I would NOT bite.

Not that I doubt you at all, but just because I’m that kind of nerd, could you provide the source? # eattherich

Took first ferry out of Split to an island I’d never heard of. I arrived at ferry dock with no idea where to go. I saw a sign saying “tourist office” and went there. Discovered room rental service. I had no plan. Spontaneous decision. Luck was that the particular room I chose was with amazing ppl.

I have traveled around five continents; I would not choose to sleep in a US train station. Also, I can’t do spontaneous travel anymore due to chronic illness and age. And OP’s response re European travel not feeling as safe for many ppl is super valid. What country/city/neighborhood?

That was a choice that I was free to make, based on my observations of the environment and my understanding of the society I was in. Again, I am not trying to say that anyone else needs to make that choice.

The Croatian family was part of a vetted room rental service operated by municipal government, not a bunch of randos. Also, “better” is a relative term. My experience was better for me at that time in my life. I’m not saying you or anyone else has to travel like I did.

Dan Savage is a profoundly decent human being and I’m so glad he exists. Also my eyes may be leaking or it’s probably allergies? Allergies.

People enjoy things in different ways? Spontaneous travel is higher- adrenaline. Yeah you might spend a night on a train station bench, oops, but you might luck into a homestay with a luminous, kind Croatian family who treat you like their long-lost cousin. Now I’m old, so I plan more. Both good.

Hey very cool! You’re a bass guy so rhythm is so solid. I remember we talked about me coming up and playing w/pedals and mando and look you did it!

Sorry didn’t respond earlier, was on a pretty drastic social media break. Maybe sometime I could BART up to your new digs, we could play 🎶🎼?

Yep it is exactly that.

This cat is glorious.

Faffy-faff-faff. But hey we Mondayed.

Seriously. This is all so infuriating and terrifying and ridiculous. I can do about six minutes of news per day and then I have to stop lest I explode from outrage

This is… not… good

Luna demonstrates her murder mittens in the sweetest and most unthreatening way. #caturday #felineniece #wantscritches #nowplease

Awww look at those adorable extraterrestrials in fuzzy suits. I love being their anthropology fieldwork.

Also I love El Cerrito.

At least we have neighbors whose government isn’t actively trying to overthrow science. And democracy.

Thank you! I’ll help spread the word.

Oh yes! I’d run off with either of them in a heartbeat if they weren’t already such mensches with their long term partners.

This is good news! Much needed good news.

War crimes are real. Just in case any members of the military are wondering. I myself would really hate to be in a position where I had to refuse an illegal order, and I just hope I’d have the courage to follow through with the refusal. I hope that for our current men and women in uniform.

Heck yeah.

A brownish grayish tabby cat with a white chest and belly sits on the top level of a gray cat tree. She is wearing a pink collar, and she has gorgeous peridot-colored eyes. Her mouth is opening in the beginning of a meow at the human who has been tardy in bringing her canned food. There is a bright yellow tennis ball by the kibble dish, which is not the cat’s.

Luna vocalizes as the wet food approaches. Note that the yellow tennis ball is not hers. It’s the dog’s. The dog never plays with it. We put it up on the cat tree so nobody would sprain an ankle on Thanksgiving. #Caturday #lunakitty #catsky

I love this so much
