My black cat in a stainless steel litter box, which is nested inside a large cardboard box, and sitting right next to the robot litter box he will only use as a last resort.

Yes, after spending hundreds of dollars between two different robotic litter boxes, the solution to my cat peeing in the wrong place was to put the manual litter box inside a large cardboard box. #voidcat

This beauty circled me a few times and then landed to dig her nest less than a foot from me. She was about 1.5" long and I believe she's a Giant Golden Digger Wasp. Non aggressive, fortunately for my allergy

A small, vividly colored hummingbird with iridescent purple and blue feathers perches on a textured branch. Its head is dark, almost black, and it has a long bill and it's sticking its tongue out.

February? add a whole extra page by now

Thank you for writing this! I work from home, socialize online, and wear a NIOSH approved respirator mask to get groceries. I tested positive for COVID the 3rd time yesterday. I'll have to stop buying fresh fruit, cause other people don't want to wear a piece of cloth for 10 minutes

I don’t know y’all. If “pride” means abandoning solidarity with queer disabled and immunocompromised folx being murdered by the state and public apathy, then I don’t want to participate.

We have seen the damage aesthetics-driven, neoliberal “resistance” enacts, so I’m confused who the party is for.

I think I also need a "Support catless child ladies" shirt

A friend of mine just said, "I'm sick of paying for the privilege of this nonsense" and now I'm trying to decide whether to get that on a shirt or framed cross-stitch

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Guest Host Diego Luna on Trump’s Immigration Policies & the Importance of Immigrants in the U.S.

Diego Luna's monologue was beautiful.

Makes me want to go rewatch the first 2 seasons of Andor.

Ohhh you aren't in USA? I am, and don't want to be blown up, but my country's regime is absolutely hostile, unhinged, and definitely dangerous

I thought that was a book title for a full minute before realizing it was a sign or flyer

And slavery

A photo of my hand with wounds all over it and text reading, "Trimmed my cat's nails"

She also sliced up my boobs, but I'm not taking a photo of that

Damn, by that logic, USA needs to be flattened

It's worth noting where Gilbert came from too- Melissa helped foster service dogs in training for disabled veterans. Gilbert was their personal dog (adopted after he washed from the program) but she was continuing to assist with other SDIT.

That speaks to what this MAGA 💩 took from the community.

google "ferret war dance video."

You're welcome.

I really dislike these posts. There is no "one simple solution" to replacing oil, coal, wood, whatever. Our endless pursuit of simplicity is how we got here, reliant on energy sources that are slowly killing us.
Don't just plant bamboo. Find a native alternative to your area. It exists. Use it.

True story bro.

It's Hug Your Cat Day. It's also my cat's gotchya day. She's getting many, many hugs today

Massive Victory in Lawsuit Filed Against Trump Administration's Dismantling of IMLS The Trump administration has been ordered to stop dismantling the IMLS and has been ordered to restore the agency to its pre-Executive Order functions and staffing.

This will help for a while. Please reach out to your representatives and tell them to intervene for the 2026 budget.

Truth. Also, anyone who chooses to naturalize is American. Countries stagnate without influx of ideas from different cultures. We'd do better being more relaxed with both Visas and citizenship.
