Good job, Lucca 🩶

Happy new yeaarrr over there! (I’m in CO atm so we’re still waiting!) 💛

May 2026 be the year we find the obituary we’re looking for on the front page.

Yeah! This!

Thanks! His name is Viktor in honor of .@strategywoman.bsky.social ’s gorgeous fluffball, Victory (still a cat), and he’s a very good boy. 🖤

A black cat lying kind of curled over on his back on a white bedspread with his front feet in the air and one back paw curled…cats are liquid. It’s hard to describe.

I’m supposed to be working. Please make me get to work. Look, here’s a cat!

Well, my sister has been home from Canada a week and she’s already feuding with my mom. We’re all going to be crammed together in one car for 8 hours for a family trip on Wednesday, so I can already tell this will be lots of fun. (Please send chocolate and sleeping pills.)

Merry Crimbo, y’all. Here’s a 1996 macaroni angel for your trouble. 👼

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

Sigh.

Anywho, look at this young man helping us sort our socks. Oh, to be a fat, festive cat who is unaware of the American healthcare system.

I ended up calling the insurance people and they were like, ‘why is the hospital sending you bills? You don’t owe anything. We’re going to send them letters to tell them to cut that out.’

So, that’s nice. Also, Ascension, you need to get your sh!t together because you about gave us heart attacks.

I have a deep love for any cats named after Cowboy bebop. One of my older cousins named her fluffy black cat Cowboy Bebop and I adore that so much.

We just got an $11k medical bill today from Dan’s procedure last year and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with this. I thought we were paying on it all year? Why does the website say we owe nothing? Where is our insurance cap? How is this even real?

And also, your torby is gorgeous. Her coloration is so cool!

Because tabbies and voids are the friggin best, that’s why! 😍

A fat black cat with glossy black fur lays on his back on an acid green crushed velvet sofa. He looks directly into the camera.

A fat black cat lays on his back on the acid green velvet couch and stretches with his front legs spread apart like a Y. His face is not visible.

A smug looking brown tabby cat lays on me in my wine-colored robe. She looks at the camera, her eyes half open.

I’ve returned bearing cats. What’d I miss?

We used to get a fir of one kind or another and my allergies went nuts, but it took me a most of my life to tie the two together. Being allergic to pine trees is such a bummer!

The salted butter really makes it. 🤤

Sigh.

Sometimes I think about the (probably) haunted horror hotel that was the Hyatt with the rotating restaurant in Kansas City and I give myself the willies. Truly a poster child for the consequences of unregulated capitalism.

I cannot unhear 😬

This is the best case scenario and I want it for you!

🤣🤣🤣

You need to go to jail, hempo……

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I was happy because I splurged on a new bottle of nail polish and then I realized saying I “splurged” on a $10 bottle of nail polish is just sad. In my list of things I’ll do when I’m magically rich, I’m just going to buy a bottle of nail polish like a normal person.

So like, is Hillary divorced yet? Because if I were Hillary, I’d definitely be divorced by now. Mm-mm. I don’t care how long ago it was, if you were on that plane or on that island, into the bin you go.

Right? I mean, intentionally switching numbers around to suit the narrative sounds like a fantastic way to gaslight and brainwash. This is political numberwang, where the rules don't matter and the numbers are made up because there are NO CONSEQUENCES for any of these asshats.

He looks just like my brother in high school. This is delightful.
