She's had a most delightful evening to make up for it. Shes had her treat stick, a generous pile of prawns and most of the floor is covered in a brand new sari all rumpled up for her to dive about in

She's okay now, she has her spot in the sun and a broken up treat stick. Plus I got a new sari today so she can have fun with that later.

We had our annual gas safety check today and Lo was so scared while M was trying to herd her to the bedroom away from the stranger that she peed.
Not the gas gyes fault but there is a special place in hell for pricks from immigration who inflict long term trauma on already nervy tiny cats.

Gouache painting of a couple of white bunnies floating through a river in the woods on a giant leaf. One of the bunnies is punting them forward with a stick. The river is calm and reflective, and the forest is green with the stem of a dark tree and white spring flowers in the foreground.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Watercolour painting of a black cat face with their eyes closed partially obscured and surrounded by soft clouds in blue, pink and purple. There's a bright orange sun right behind them and sparkles float around them

A cartoonist's review of AI art - The Oatmeal This is a comic about AI art.

@theoatmeal.bsky.social absolutely nailing the sadness in AI art and dissecting the myth of โ€œtalentโ€ in art/artist discourse.

Art is "emotional nutrition" and "consuming AI art is like eating Styrofoam."

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border

In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: itโ€™s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.
