It’s actually FEWER Misérables

An orange cat lays on a person’s lap with a pink blanket. The person’s arm is around the cat with her hand under his chin.

happy caturday from Murphy, who I promise is loving being held like this

❤️

oh no

A brown tabby kitten sits on a red couch so that her upper body is draped over the arm and her back legs are standing on the cushion. She looks innocently at the camera. A window with red floral curtains is behind her. The air filter on the floor next to the arm of the couch has a red light indicating the filter needs to be changed. A cat tunnel and cat mat are on the floor. There’s a stick vacuum in the background as well as a keyboard leaning against the wall. Board games are tucked under a side table.

happy caturday from Jojo who thinks this is the normalest way to sit

we are a house divided

BUTTERFINGERS

good, or trash?

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

back on my bullshit (using my walking pad while I work)

tucked in the folds of the paper were stickers, a couple of teabags, tabs, a bookmark, and a highlighter and now I want these treats with ALL my books. i would FREQUENT a used bookstore that did this. give me goodies with my books

i went to a tiny romance bookstore in tacoma and they had sections with "blind date" books that came wrapped in brown paper. on the paper was written the genre, tropes in the book, spice rating, and a short synopsis

“When I get to the page that says ‘thing’ you’ll hear me say ‘thing’ and not ‘thinGuh’ ok? I won’t say the G like that” —6yo reading me a book and having learned some phonetics

A hand holds a tiny book open to the last page of text

I went to a huge flea market yesterday and found this tiny vintage German-English/English-German dictionary possibly???? from 1901? anyway, the very last entry is weed and says “let us smoke a quiet weed together” and I just love it

A cake made to look like a large red Collegiate dictionary 12th edition with thumb tabs sits on a table waiting to be consumed.

it’s a big day in the MW office 🥹

wow!!!!

losing it over these two

Murphy is insanely cute but don’t miss Joey in the background

armordillo

good timing though. we did ours last weekend and one of them is entirely rotted and collapsed already 😭

6yo just called cursive “Spanish letters”

Murphy too

aaaaand more banana bread

thanks!

A very round loaf of chewy no-knead bread rests in a blue Dutch oven lined with parchment paper

done

because these aren't syllable breaks

"yes they are! I KNOW they are!"

oh... 😕

yeah. yday me was ok with mixing up the dough but today me has to actually fold it and score it and put it in the oven

found the drawback. now I have to bake bread 😂

I had a back and forth with a correspondent once about the dots. and what I learned was that people absolutely do not know what they are *even when you explain it to them*

that's a good point

I am going to make banana bread during lunch but should I also start a loaf of no knead bread? how much baking am I doing now that it's cool enough outside to use the oven
