Black and white photo of a fluffy long haired tabby kitten - I think it is orange but could be grey. He is sitting 3/4 profiled to the left but looking straight at the camera with a teeny little blep poking out.

Baby blep! Postcard from my collection - copyright 1900, mailed 1907.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of the gas giants in our solar system. The images show Saturn with its intricate rings, Jupiter with its swirling storms and bands, Uranus with its tilted rings and hazy atmosphere, and Neptune with its faint rings and dynamic weather patterns. These images reveal the beauty and complexity of these distant worlds and offer new insights into their formation and evolution.

an orange cat is sitting on a chair. he is all curled up like a cheese doodle with his back legs waving in the air

I am testing out the new chair for you. It’s pretty good. Not enough hairs

Republicans don’t give a fuck if you have sex with minors, but don’t you dare use the bathroom of your own choosing.

Looking back, my depression hit me full force about when I started puberty. I have this persistent fear (rational or not, it's there) that menopause is going to bring some fresh new shitty mental health issue with it.

At this point, complaining about hate on Twitter is like complaining about nudity at an orgy.

The ie/ei combos always got me!

Here's Penny the kitten, who weighs in at a whopping 3.5 lbs. Here's hoping that's good enough for the spay/neuter place.

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

If Trump wants to deport undocumented migrants, they will still need a hearing before an immigration judge.

The next available final hearing date, based on current backlog of 1,478,623 asylum cases pending, is in 2029—after Trump has left office.

They haven’t though this through. Shocking.

Trump isn't even in office yet & we're already talking about letting him bypass the Constitution as though that's a normal conversation to be having.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

They’re letting women who are miscarrying die from sepsis and forcing rape survivors to carry their rapist’s babies to term.
They’re promising to repeal the Affordable Care Act with nothing to replace it.
If anyone is teaching a fear of pregnancy, it’s them.

My depression has been relapsing, so my doctor started me on a new med called Auvelity. Apparently it works differently than other antidepressants. I'm already noticing a positive difference! Here's hoping!

Scootch over, I’m joining your zoom. I have some input for the team. Unmute me

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I console myself with the thought that they'll see what happens. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to go along for the ride.

A photo of Bilbo's huge face as he slowly pries his eyes open from a deep slumber. His face is out of focus as if he's on a cheap webcam. He says "Awake, unfortunately"

awake . umfortunately

Is there going to be anyone in the Trump administration who has NOT committed sexual assault?

Someone doesn't know what totalitarian means

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.

Well this country has killed enough Kennedys I guess it’s only fair one of them tries to return the favor

Everyone on this site has a library card

Tweet saying This isn’t a cabinet. This is a junk drawer.

Well said.
