I’m an atheist but today I prayed - to what I don’t know - that the flood down in Hunt wouldn’t end the way we feared it would.

May everyone involved in NOAA and NWS cuts burn in the hell I increasingly believe is being visited upon us on Earth for tolerating such idiocy and greed.

This is the same cadence I use when I scold the cats.

CLIO. DO NOT CHEW THAT POWER CORD. IF YOU DO IT NO CHURUS FOR A WEEK. THAT BETTER NOT BE A HAIR TIE, I SWEAR TO GOD. ANITA M DALTON, ASST FOOD MONKEY.

A small calico cat is sitting on a side table. She is looking directly at the camera. Behind her is a wall of glass-front IKEA bookshelves.

Happy Sunday!

Depicted is a large but thin long haired black cat. His name is Boo Radley and is standing on a blue patterned blanket placed on a mustard yellow couch. He appears to be making biscuits on the blanket. He's looking at something to the left of the camera.

Photo depicts a short haired black cat lying on the back cushion of a mustard yellow couch. Her name is Clio. Behind her are bookcases filled with books. She's looking at the camera, with her ears in the half-airplane position. She seems annoyed at being photographed.

A small calico cat is sitting on some stairs inside a house. Her name is Mirabelle. The stair planks are oak and the backboards are cream colored. She's staring at something just above the camera and seems to be on high alert. Her tail is straight out, parallel to the stair she is sitting on.

Depicted is a tortoise shell colored cat lying in an IKEA Poang chair. Her name is Calliope. The chair is clearly a chair she sits on often as her hair is all over it. Behind her in the chair is an IKEA pillow depicting various sheep. She's looking to the left of the camera.

The cats are pensive today. #Caturday is a ordinarily a day of great joy but since late January shit's been weird. Clio and Calliope have been discussing running for president in 2028. They feel they'd do a much better job, though they worry that their catnip usage could be used against them.

Small calico cat with very long whiskers is standing on cardboard cat house. There are visible bites and chew marks that show the cat has been chewing on the house. The photo focuses on her face. She is close to the camera and making direct eye contact.

Mirabelle is strangely photogenic. She photographs better than any other cat we've known. Or maybe I'm just so over trying to take pics of black cats that can't be mistaken for a "void" meme that I am stupid grateful to be able to just point and shoot. #catsofbluesky

You and Trump are the leaders of the free world (lol) and the two of you spend hours a day in online spats and arguments. I can't imagine how you thought more in this vein was a good idea. You should feel deep shame. You need to get offline, stay offline, and put a wreath on Joe Bageant's grave.

Small calico cat is in bathroom next to a toilet and under a window. She is annoyed by a bottle of lotion sitting on a window sill and has stretched out to a ridiculous degree to be able to see what else is on the sill.

Items in the bathroom were moved around and Miss Belly, Christian name Mirabelle, was annoyed. But the real reason I posted this pic is so you can see how ridiculously long her torso looks. Look at it!

A calico cat is lying on one of the top levels of a gray cat tree. She has a sort of contemplative expression and is looking directly at the camera. The windows behind her show green trees and that the day is a bit overcast.

Mirabelle may seem like she's annoyed that her picture is being taken. However, I assure you that her pensive expression is the result of contemplating how the Orange One will punish us after his sad birthday parade. Because punish us he will. She reckons spray bottles will be involved. #catsofbsky

A solid black cat is peeking up over the seat of an office chair that is being assembled. The cat's ears are in the "airplane" configuration and she has a small bit of white lint just under her nose.

Clio is supervising the assembly of my new office chair. She is also demonstrating the hazards of being a Void near a sewing room. She is a beautiful lint collector. #catsofbluesky

In 1990, when I worked in a shoe store, Tommy Lee came in to buy a pair of boots for a very enthusiastic female fan (ahem). He was exhausted but very polite. His fan was over the moon (and also very nice to me). I bet she still has those boots.

A pretty calico cat is walking up stairs in a house. She is looking directly at the camera, and is framed by the rails holding up the banister.

Mirabelle feels we should all go upstairs and go back to bed for the next two days. Pull the shades, pretend it isn't Friday the 13th, dream about the days when Richard Nixon was the gold standard for presidential chaos.

Plus she's a cat and likes napping, so... #catsofbluesky #calicosforpeace

Me either. I need a Kleya to train me for what seems to be the grim inevitability awaiting us all if Saturday goes the way I suspect it will.

A long-hair, large black cat is sitting on a very scratched up wood table. In the background is a wall of bookcases and a mustard-colored sofa is also visible.

Boo Radley wishes you all a frank and productive Thursday! #catsofbluesky

This speaks to the moral and righteous poverty of their position. They are deeply afraid of the left - from suburban housewives with blogs to governors to kids on skateboards who make them look dumb. Johnson and my commenter are such tiny, weak men and they want to kill us because we noticed. 6/6

I'm unsure how to proceed with such a realization. I'm still not afraid. But I probably should be as men like the one who wanted to lynch and tar and feather me are now stealing people off the streets, egged on by violent and very stupid "betters" like Johnson. 5/6

I now live in a world where believing in habeas corpus and due process for all on American soil, having a distaste for poorly conceived conspiracy theory, for basically being alive, makes me an enemy and I have to take that seriously in a way I never did before. 4/6

I never thought that sort of masculine histrionics would become a common element of modern political partisan back and forth and that things could get so bad in America that the absolutely horrible threats left in comment sections may be followed with action. 3/6

I also wrote about how desperate conservative men - always men - think I want them dead. Swallowing massive amounts of stochastic terrorism enabled that commenter to utterly dehumanize me in such a way that he saw me as a threat to his country and to his very life. 2/6

Oh Shit, Should I Be Worried: An OTC Primer for Threat Assessment – Odd Things Considered

Mike Johnson's remark that Gavin Newsom should be tarred and feathered reminded me of an article I wrote four years ago about an angry MAGA voter who threatened to lynch and tar and feather me over a near-decade old disagreement with a conspiracy theorist. I assessed his threat and dismissed it. 1/6

I love it when rescued cats become so secure with their humans that they feel comfortable giving us a nip (or a chomp, as it were).

Black kitten is sitting in a cat condo, looking at the camera. The kitten is curious about the camera and looks like she's about to jump down.

Tortoise-shell kitten is sitting on a red chair with red and yellow pillows behind her. She's focused on something other than the camera - probably a second person trying to get her attention so she will look up.

The couple who fostered two of our cats before we adopted them sent me their kitten pictures! Clio and Calliope are the prettiest kittens in the history of the world, fight me!

Calico cat sitting on the floor in front of a wall mounted television set, watching videos of lizards, looking back at human taking photo, visibly annoyed.

Annoyed calico cat sitting on the floor, visibly peeved that her TV time was interrupted

Our cat Mirabelle has a huge crush on Alex from the YouTube channel Leafy Street. She will watch them on a loop for hours and she gets annoyed if we interrupt her during his videos. Photo overkill for proof.
