Purr Vida

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

A green crackle light up cactus Christmas tree.

A classic green light up cactus.

My oven broke. (Not a menopause joke) and we decided to save up and buy a new stove instead of paying for repairs on the old one. So if you’d like to purchase something from my etsy shop, surly.etsy.com you’d be helping us out.

Maybe a global warming Christmas tree:

Happy Purrthday, Puff! I hope you had a wonderful day! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

That looks amazing! 😋🤤

😹😹😹

Happy National Black Cat Day!

You have to make sure the final product tastes good. Plus cooking can be hard work - I get hungry and need a snack before the meal is ready 🤷‍♀️😂

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Awesome! You did it!

Food Lifeline has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't.

Scrolling local social media & this baby appears. Someone in NoVirginia needs this doll!
Tiger is a lovable, slightly chunky gentleman with the sweetest soul & the softest purrs. This handsome boy may carry a few extra pounds, but that just means there’s more of him to love!

So sorry to hear this. 😿 We will miss you, Dotty. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Wow! I have to catch up - haven’t seen all of the episodes for several years now! It’s hard to keep up!

Nice to meet you, too! We just watched the episode - hilarious! We also watched the Yellow Lotus episode - I was not aware that the Simpsons traveled so much! 😸

I don’t think I’ve seen that particular episode - I will watch it soon!

Costa Rica is on my bucket list, and I’ve been researching a trip for a while. That’s where I learned about Pura Vida. I made my handle Purr Vida because I love cats, too, and that’s all the creativity I had when I started my account over at the other place. But I do also love the Simpsons!

So sorry to hear this 😿

This photo was at Le Miaousee in Montreal!

They’re beautiful!

Happy birthday! 🎈🎁🎂

Happy Gotcha Day!

Many Atchoums? @atchoumthecat.bsky.social

Who’s your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only).

My two youngest did this when they were kittens 💕💕

Not a welcome sight after that nightmare?
