On October 19, 2024, an ambulance transporting a mother (Raghad Ayman Al-Basyouni), her newborn (1 day old, in need of urgent NICU care), and a friend (Sanaa Moustafa Al-Basyouni) was struck by the Israeli military near Al-Khoulafa Street in Jabalia. The group were on their way to Kamal Adwan Hospital, the only NICU facility in North Gaza. The mother and her friend were killed instantly, while the newborn and a paramedic were critically injured. Tragically, the bodies of the deceased were left exposed and mauled by stray dogs before they could be recovered. The newborn, initially left behind in the chaos, was miraculously rescued the following day and transported to Kamal Adwan Hospital, where care was finally administered. Witnesses, including the ambulance driver and the woman who later adopted the child, shared details on the horrific scene.

Meme of the bed of king Charles II of Navarre aflame with the king in it, based on the popular meme which shows a dog seated at a table in a room that's on fire, nonchalantly saying "This is fine!" In this version, vivid orange & yellow flames rise around the king's pillows. Under a white sheet & a red blanket, his knees are bowed. He holds his hands clasped in front of his bare chest. His eyes are closed & his head is tilted to the right. The expression on his clean shaven face is strangely serene, although he is sticking the tip of his tongue between his lips. A white cloth or towel's wrapped around his head like a turban. Above him appear the words: "This is fine!" This image is a detail from an illumination of the event in Ms. Ludwig XIII 7 (83.MP.150), fol. 274v - Bed of the King of Navarre Set on Fire - Master of the Getty Froissart (Flemish, ca. 1480–1483)

Been waiting for an excuse to break this out...

Baby Cat, lying flat on her back on a white carpet underneath a wooden chair. Her tiger striped rear legs are splayed, with her curled right rear paw lying on her ringed & black-tipped tail. Three black toe beans are clearly visible on her left rear paw. Baby Cat is completely passed out, looking for all the world as if Donald J. Trump has just shot her on Fifth Avenue. The dominant theme of the pic, other than BC's comatose pose, is belly floof. Lots & lots of luxurious sacred underbelly fur: mostly tan, but with darker brown accents & highlights, like the top of a crème brûlée. BC's tan face, head & tiger striped forelegs can just barely be glimpsed over the swell of her glorious floof.

BC's too nipperized to post – or move...

Close up on Huitty the brown tabby's head and chest. She's sleeping on the bed on her side. She is holding both front paws curled up on her eyes and nose to shield herself from the too bright light. Her chin is tucked in against her chest which is very fluffy and looks very soft. Her little pink nose and milk muzzle and peeking from under her paws.

Too Bride!!!

(Too bright!!)

Baby Cat, an adult deep chocolate tan-ticked tabby, lying on her back on an unmade bed. Her tiger striped forearms are held up above her, paws bent so that it looks as if she's trying to make a heart with her arms, the way people make a heart with their two hands: by curling their fingers in, fingernail-to-fingernail, to form the 2 humps of a heart, & their thumbs together to make the heart's point. BC has a look of intense concentration on her tan face & in her large, sage green eyes. Her white whiskers cascade off her face, echoing the bowed curve of her arms. She knows that love is a serious business, & she is here to do business with YOU.

Thank you so very much for such kind & touching words.

This is the closest BC can get to making the heart hands thing — 🫶 — without thumbs!

Huitty the adult brown tabby with golden eyes and a milk muzzle is lying on her tummy, but slightly leaning on her left side. Her left paw is extended in front of her, while her right paw is folded at a 90° angle, and tucked back against her right side. Her chin is resting on her left paw. Her golden eyes show intense concentration and determination. She looks like she's swimming free-style on the bed, and is well on track to beat Michael Phelps' record!

A photo of Baby Cat – an adult chocolate-coated tan-ticked tabby – fixing her out-of-frame human with serious side eye. Baby's making the slightest of bleeps with her bright pink tongue, accentuating her air of utter innocence, as she makes her query. In front of her's a coaster, upon which lies a quantity of a crushed catnip/silvervine mix, from which BC has been indulging. BC has a tan face with dramatic black markings & shading that accentuate her enormous sage green eyes, which look as if they are outlined in mascara. She has a white milk muzzle, white whiskers, & an irresistibly boopable dusty rose nose. There's a jet black capital W in parentheses on Baby's forehead. Her ears are fully alert, if somewhat akimbo. BC has a tan neck & chest, with circular stripes that make it appear as if she's wearing necklaces of various lengths & colors & her magnificent crème brûlée belly floof peeks out from between her tiger-striped forelegs.

Are you sure it's OK to do catnip right before you vote?

A 4-panel "Nancy" comic strip by Ernie Bushmiller. In the 1st panel, Nancy's walking when her attention is captured by a sign on a wall that reads, "DID YOU VOTE YET?" Nancy is alarmed by this reminder, indicated by emphasis lines over her head. In the 2nd panel, Nancy has begun to run. The emphasis lines have been replaced by small droplets, & her face shows great concern. As she passes, Nancy looks up at sign that says, "DON'T FAIL TO VOTE IT'S YOUR DUTY." In the 3rd panel, Nancy is full-out running, indicated by horizontal motion lines. Her face is turned towards the wall, upon which is a sign that reads, "IF YOU VALUE FREEDOM CAST YOUR BALLOT." In the fourth panel, Nancy stands proudly at attention in front of a ballot box, about to cast her vote. Her ballot is partially inserted into a box with a sign that says, "VOTE HERE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BUBBLE GUM", with the options "BLOOPY OR STICKO".

In a full color cartoon, Dracula runs away from dawn sunlight streaming into his castle. Two small human figures can be seen in the distance, running in pursuit. Dracula's wearing a black suit & black cape. He has exaggerated features, such as pointed ears & sharp fangs. His face bears a shocked & angry expression & both it & his hands are white with a deathly pallor, save for Dracula's blood red lips. As the sunlight streams through an open door, the newly risen sun is just visible in the sky outside. As Dracula enters the castle, two small green lizards scatter in fright, while a brown rat looks on curiously. Below the illustration a caption reads: "Accursed daylight saving time!" The artist's signature, Gahan Wilson, is visible in the lower left corner.

"Accursed daylight savings time!"

(This is Baby Cat's human, on behalf of BC. She wanted to thank each & every one of you who wished her a Happy Birthday—especially those who came to Casa de Bébé & partied with her—but partying for 48 hours straight tends tire even the bossiest of girlbosses...)

Against a jet black background, Baby Cat looks out at the viewer through enormous sage green eyes in which her pupils are but slits. The way the phone isolated this picture, it looks as if Baby Cat's left tan, tiger-striped foreleg springs directly from her tan, tiger-striped neck, &, that it alone, supports her head like a stalk. Baby Cat is an adult deep chocolate tan-ticked tabby. She has a tan face with dramatic black markings & shading. Despite wearing an ambiguous expression on her white milk muzzle, her dusty rose nose remains almost irresistibly boopable. Her left ear is obscured by the darkness, but her right lynx-tufted ear is at full alert, exposing soft white ear fluff.

The iconic poster for Paul Verhoven's film "Showgirls". Against a black background, at the top center of the poster, is a picture of the actress Elizabeth Berkeley's face, bearing an ambiguous expression. She is a conventionally pretty white woman with shoulder length light colored hair. A long continuous naked white skinned leg, ending in a bare foot, extends seamlessly from her neck down the center of the poster, making it seem as if her head is on a stalk. Or like Baby Cat in the previous picture. At what would normally be shoulder height, & to the left of the leg, appear the words: LEAVE YOUR INHIBITIONS AT THE DOOR... In the center of the poster appear the words: PAUL VERHOVEN'S SHOW GIRLS with the leg separating the word "show" from "girls". Underneath the word "Girls" appears the text: THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGIN Underneath the illustration are the credits for the movie usually found on a movie poster.

Baby Cat, a predominantly brown, black & tan tabby, reclining against my hip in an over the shoulder photo, taken while lying on an unmade bed with tan sheets. The bottom lefthand corner of the photo is obscured by my light blue shirt. BC is seated on her right haunch, leaning her body up against mine. Her tiger striped legs are splayed, exposing an extremely floofy tan patch of underbelly fur, her left hind leg & foot pointing up to the top right hand corner of the photo. Baby’s tan face—with black markings, a dusty rose nose, white whiskers & milk muzzle, & large luminous green eyes—is turned away from me & towards the right side of the photo. She bears a pensive, placid look on her face, as if she’s not too terribly fussed by sitting at such an awkward angle. After all, this isn’t BC’s first rodeo & neither of us will be driving.

“I think one of us has had too much nip!”

A sepia toned photograph of a young adult Helen Keller seated, reading a braille book with her right hand. Her upper torso is turned towards the image's right where there is a vase of roses. With her left hand, Helen gently bends one of the fully flowering roses towards her face, which is seen in profile. The rose is but centimeters from her nose. Her eyes are closed. She wears a smile of contentment, as if the scent she smells reinforces the words she reads, & vice versa, resulting in a harmonic circle of concentrated beauty. Helen is a demure, white skinned young woman. Her hair is worn back in a bun at the nape of her neck. She is wearing a puffy sleeved white shirt, with a bow tied at her neck.

Happy Helen Keller's Birthday

You got Baby Cat has a tan face with black markings, white whiskers, a white milk muzzle & a nearly irresistibly boopable dusty rose nose. Her ears & forehead whiskers are at full alert.

Baby Cat's head has been hastily photoshopped over the image of the head & shoulders of Elizabeth Báthory as she lies in a luxurious bathtub filled with bloody water. The image is set against a pitch black background. The bathtub is adorned with a wreath of red, white, and pink roses, going all around its rim, a few petals have fallen on the surface of the red water. Elizabeth/Baby is wearing a lacy, sheer, white gown, tinged crimson by the bloody water. Around her neck is a sumptuous gold & ruby necklace. Her head is turned slightly to the left and she is looking at something outside the picture with a sanguine, steady, self-assured gaze. (More virgins no doubt. - Editor) On her head is a very intricate, jewelled headdress also made of gold and rubies. The central band goes all around Elizabeth/Baby's head in a half circle made of 11 large round rubies. Each ruby is topped by a spike decorated with a heart ruby & topped by a gold teardrop.

Against a jet black background, Baby Cat is seen hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat. She has a look of extreme annoyance on her face, as if she is contemplating inflicting upon you grievous bodily harm for the sin of disturbing her unnatural beauty sleep. BC's tiger-striped forearms are folded against her chest in disdainful disapproval. If looks could kill, the fiery rays of reproach in BC's sage green eyes would have instantly reduced you to a small heap of smoking ashes. She's using all her demonic powers to mesmerize you into a state of absolute immobility & you are at her complete command. Baby Cat is an adult deep chocolate tan ticked tabby, with a tan face, tan neck, tan chest & a stomach that look like the skin of a crème brûlée. Although she wears a withering scowl on her white milk muzzle, BC's dusty rose nose, as always, is almost irresistibly boopable.

Who dares to disturb the slumber of Countess Catula!!!

A Far Side cartoon by Gary Larsen In the foreground stands a bespectacled man named Edgar, who just opened his door. He's being attacked by a werewolf. The werewolf wears an ill-fitting short sleeved white dress shirt & a yellow tie with large black polkadots. Over the werewolf's right shoulder is the full moon. Edgar's holding a pistol in his left hand, his right hand held out to ward off the attack. As he shoots at the werewolf, a burst of flame & puff of smoke leap from the gun barrel, accompanied by the words "Blam! Blam!" Above Edgar, there's a thought bubble showing a memory from earlier that day. Edgar's at a gun store buying bullets. The storekeeper—the werewolf in human form—wears a short sleeved white dress shirt & yellow tie with large black polkadots. The storekeeper says, "Oh, yes! I guarantee these bullets are pure silver." Below, a caption reads: "Moments before he was ripped to shreds, Edgar vaguely recalled having seen that same obnoxious tie earlier in the day."

Happy Halloween! 🎃 ☠️ 🪦 ⚰️

Huitty the adult brown tabby with golden eyes and a milk muzzle, is sitting on a bed. Between her front paws, she is holding an amigurumi (crocheted plush toy) of a small girl dressed for trick or treat in a dinosaur costume. The toy's name is Little Beatrice she is supposed to be Huitty's mum's mini-me. The little girl has black eyes and dark brown hair in pigtails. Her costume is a greyish olive green dinosaur onesie with orange rosettes on the body and orange stripes on the arms. The feet of the onesie are big dinosaur paws. Around her neckline is a row of teeth, that form the lower jaw of the dinosaur. The top half of the dinosaur's head is a hoodie that flips back like a trashcan lid, it has 2 short white horns and big white googly eyeballs with just a tiny black dot for pupils. The costume also has a tail which is not visible here. Huitty is looking straight at the camera, she seems very proud and protective of her mini mum.

A "This Barbie is" meme. Against a blue sky, a serenely sleeping Baby Cat, her forepaws demurely curled up against her tan chest is superimposed over the meme's central hot pink sunburst. Baby is an adult tan-ticked deep chocolate coated tabby. There is a look of pure contentment on BC's tan face with dramatic black markings & shading, & a slight, but definite, smile on her white milk muzzle. As always, Baby's dusty rose nose is almost irresistibly boopable. Above BC, in white print, appears the caption, "This Barbie is temporarily unavailable." Beneath BC, the word "Barbie" appears in a large white stylized font. Beneath the sunburst, in hot pink lettering, appear the words "Now playing. Only in theaters."

A close up on the head and upper body of Huitty, the adult brown tabby, as she is curled up on her pink blanket. Her forehead is pressed against the blanket, her eyes are tightly shut, and her front paws are gently curled and tucked under her chin. She is sound asleep, and even though she is incredibly cute, please don't be like her mum who's probably going to disturb her with a kiss on the head.

Pleas. Donut distrob.
