Y'all came together almost a year ago today to help fund the surgery for my cat Rose.

While Rose was too far gone for the surgery to matter, the mutual aid allowed me to cover Aster's healthcare and Rose's funeral.

I'm certain we can help this kitty.

@dicknixon.bsky.social some of the really hot 75th birthday parties the Pope throws are the ones he doesn't invite the cardinal to.

A sign from the NY Mattachine society trying to deter the Stonewall Riots by demanding queer and trans people "maintain peaceful and quiet conduct."

The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on.

The history doesn't back this up. What actually happened is more revealing. 🧵

Let's start with Stonewall...

A little white and black cat hunkers down in front of a blue food bowl with a cartoon black cat painted onto it. She looks her lips after eating some wet food, her long pink tongue curled all the way up to her little pink nose.

Today’s cat is enjoying her breakfast #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky

Oh! Oh! Biiiiiiiig stretch Monty!

Fluffy gray tabby on a sunny widow seat - stretching back and yawning big.

anyway good night (and beware the danger beans)

Picking up subtle hints it might be lunchtime.

Nice work there Sam!

It's not even vengeance, or some misguided theory of justice. It's just like there's some zombie plague that expresses itself by having the sufferers say awful things about trans folks and immigrants

It's given us fresh language to describe the man.

By son's biodad took him on a road trip to LA.

On the way home, somehow instead of like... Highway 1, the redwoods, or a dozen other things.... they came back to Seattle via a night in Winnemucca

I see what you did there

I uh... can see why they grounded the DC10s as well

It the savor of the boudoir fantasy of a person who wasn't comfortable exploring that space

A hand holding a can of "Lifeguard" a Japanese product that has been around since 1986, evidently. It's all hard colors, bold lines, and a... Dia de los muertos skeleton riding a race car in a post apocalyptic hellscape? I'm not sure. The drink has aloe jelly in it and (I'm assured) no cocaine

It's like a marketing artist from the 90s died for a minute and saw the face of God.

In Hookland, many a folkloric tale starts not with ‘A long time ago’ or ‘Far, far away’, but with the line: ‘Out across the dark moor where strange songs are still heard …’ For folklore tells strongly of place and our relationships to it. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore #FolkloreThursday

There places where our footsteps become blood in the water. They call out not to sharks, but to things no less predatory. Beasts of the ether with teeth as old as any thing that ever swam or stalked. Beasts whose attention should never be sought. – #CLNolan, 1905 This text floats in a pale blue across a negative image of trees and hill land.

#CLNolan gives a warning about the beasts that live in the ether.

Re-enchantment is resistance

why do things like this never happen to me

I feel like there were about 15 minutes in 2009 where MacOS Snow Leopard, Windows 7 and the Linux DEs were all mature, reliable, and complete. that must've terrified everybody involved because they all ran away from that moment screaming and speaking in tongues

Listening to my wife's account of Jury selection on a sex assault case, I'm pretty sure the prosecutor made an example of her. she didn't end up on the jury at least, but there was a real stench of To Encourage the Others about it

i support men celebrating international men's day so we don't have to hear "why don't we have an international men's day???" every fucking year on on international women's day

“We can disagree and stay friends” says man who thinks you should be eugenicsed out of existence A man who believes you can disagree on politics and “still love each other” also believes scientists should find out what caused you so someone like you never happens again, and you, personally,…

Graeme Hart, 57, believes autism is a horrific scourge on humanity – but that there’s no reason for you, an autistic person, to be so uncivil about it.

Pretty sure any law activity that the administration gets involved with is Spiders Georg class stuff

The Swiss got rock’n’roll after it had been filtered through the rest of Europe so its version was brilliant, exaggerated and wrong. A sincere pastiche of the original.

anyway good night

I believe in the Resonance of Sins in places. It compounds and grows with time. All the compiled sins of design, graft, malfeasance, greed, and sloth accumulate. Some structures are born cursed. Others become damned because of us over time.

Two very cute kittens sitting inside a plastic container filled with folded towels. Ophelia, a white and tabby kitten is sitting up and looking very very cute. Winnie, a grey kitten, was asleep behind Ophelia and I woke her up. She is giving me an excellent glare. The box lid is latched at the far side, so the kittens have a partial roof.

The kittens have discovered the towel storage box.

Winnie is unimpressed with me bothering them. How dare.

Running Windows in a workplace is like having a coworker who comes in every few months under the influence of a different mind-altering substance.

And they're always searchinf for MORE!

And the solution we all accept is to train everyone else how to manage that co-worker and bring them down.

Hey, I think people might have forgotten about Sexy Waluigi.
