A small, long haired, buff (orange) tabby with a white goatee snuggles against the side of a large, long-haired, darker orange tabby cat. She (the smaller cat) has a very alert expression on her face while the big cat has droopy upper eyelids and a generally kind of dopey expression.

So far, so good for the "get Zozo a cat friend" plan. Also, when they play, she will fully put him in a headlock with both front paws as he drops to his belly in front of her. Best and sweetest orange himbo, and her sass levels out their size disparity (they're both adults! She's small, he's chonk!)

BLUE EVERYWHERE FOR WEEKS!

Her name is Miss Marigold Maeby McGuirk, aka missmiss, tiny terror, marmalade muffin, and "hey, you ridiculous gremlin!" At this point, she startles easily, demands attention on her terms, *hates* being held or picked up, and nail clipping is a struggle. The shelter believes she is three years old.

A large, long-haired, orange cat sleeps on his side in a green and black fabric cat crate. A smaller, long-haired, orange cat with a white goatee sits on top of him in the back of the crate. A white towel is crumpled under the cats and in the foreground

Our elder lady statesman crossed the rainbow bridge on February 12. On February 28, this small orange gremlin came home with us, and promptly refused to let us perceive her for a week. I'm pleased to say that she is a complete gremlin who loves Laszlo more than he'd probably like, and she's happy.

"teen births" ...........
(I know, but I just can fucking not)

"For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps."

I have any anycubic model that they don't make anymore, but i know tons of people who happily use a variety of elegoo printers.

This is an outstanding resource and very clear rundown on a) why Substack is bad because people apparently still need to be spoonfed in 2026 and b) the MYRIAD options to use instead

a chocolate dinosaur or a "chocolatey" dinosaur?

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

Same

I went to both jr and sr year, but at my second high school and they were un-themed if I remember correctly, just blue and silver at the nco club at the AF base, and at my jr year one guy did an amazing dance to Billie Jean. And that's most of what I remember.

it’s new-old story day! my latest publication is one of the first stories i finished when i started writing for publication twelve years ago.

how to be beautiful swallowing a steaming boiled potato will bring a ruddy flush to the cheeks

Gonna give this a go...

We have an amcrest that uses an SD card.

Omg, I love them

Oh, and my cousin is Skip. Despite the fact his dad died in 1998 and he could be using his legal name without confusion.

My mum had an uncle bing, he had a son called butch, who had a son named bo. Because they were all the same actual first name. But nobody ever called them by their legal name!

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

It made me filled with rage on behalf of authors like you who have spent the time writing amazing fat characters for that one author to be like, I use it because I want to see more fat women in romances, because holy shit do I not give a shit about ai making up shit about my lived experiences!

Funny the things that pull you out of a story. Was reading a book where a wool garment burst into flames. Nope, sorry. I can suspend disbelief for monsters, but not for wool fireballs.

Anna Garcia, labeled "me", squirting a water bottle labeled "my deepest insecurities and traumas" at Josh Ruben, labeled "person I met seven minutes ago".

want a squirt of my water bottle?

their story is kinda wild.

This is what I don’t understand: How could extensive attention to clean indoor air make anything *worse*? Particulates and pollen and so on cause issues for people with allergies and asthma even before we think about anything else. It’s cheap and easy and we should just be doing it everywhere!

it's looking really nice!

i had an adhd fugue one day and signed up for a different mystery quilt for next year, and...also have no idea what the finished quilt size is, even? I'm sunk costs in for this one but it will likely remind me that I'm not big on mystery.

santa in a blue suit!

I still see people pushing it occasionally and it will never stop weirding me out.

god, what have you done? i may be a pink pony girl, but you won’t catch me dancing at the club. i will be in bed.

first of all, i have a newsletter! i keep things ostensibly writing-focused, but it's all terribly informal and sometimes just about my cats. here is the latest email i sent, which happens to also be a year in review. i'd love it if you subscribed!
