The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

A sleek black cat photographed from the rear as she sits facing away from the camera on the back of her favorite human. The human leans forward in an attempt to capture photographic evidence of the cat’s insistence on riding them like a pony.

Enjoy the pictures.

Lots of new content with Watson and Lestrade and their mother Mystery

It will be a year on March 19 since we adopted them

Not weird.

With everything going on in the world, we can use all the familiarity and comfort we can find

Wherever and whenever we find it

I’m working on a book and film horror/action project and have five male character names I’ll be selling for $500 each. All of these guys are rat bastards and some won’t make it out alive, but it will be a wild ride. If you’re interested, drop me a line at kadrey@pm.me

Welcome to my home state

Ohio is often the butt of many jokes in TV and movies, but there are so many treasures in this state.

And not a single person complained about the year-round Halloween decorations in my yard, including the giant skeleton dressed as a lich king

And that feels like a win, strangely

Happy heritage day (a few days early) to all my fellow Irish Americans, however you may celebrate ☘️ 🇮🇪

But today saw me standing awkwardly in our cul-de-sac, holding a book on Irish heritage to gift to their eldest son while a bag piper hilariously played “Scotland the Brave” and the kid with down syndrome who lives up the street danced an authentic Irish jig in the driveway with his whole heart

I’ve never gotten over that and after some very unpleasant experiences (and physical assaults) in the early 90s, I have just defaulted to avoiding people

To the point where it feels like a trick when normal people are pleasant around me (outside of folks who recognized me from my books or TV)

I am very awkward around families with children because I came of age during a time when I was told repeatedly by people in person and the media in general that my very existence as a visibly queer person was an affront to children and dangerous for them to be around

When I first moved here, what I did not know is my suite mate from college lived just a few doors down with her husband - and, eventually, their kids

I watched the kids grow up through the windows here as I wrote & gamed & introverted, as I do

Everybody was wearing green. Except for me, actually of Irish heritage (Mahoney), but I’m a Goth. Everything is black.

No one seemed to mind

In an unexpected twist, our neighbor up the street hired a bagpiper for their St. Patrick’s Day party ☘️

Most of the neighborhood turned out, which was the first time I met most of these people

I have lived here over 20 years, but I am the weird hermit in the weird house at the end of the lane

A black cat lounges on a luxuriously soft scarlet blanket that has been thrown across a bed with a black and red comforter and pillows. Two stuffed penguins peek out from among the pillows. A bookcase full of books, notebooks, and spiral bound material is visible to one side.

Today’s cat is resplendent in red

Perhaps a young man should behave in such a way that he would never have to worry about public opinion regarding his character (or astounding lack thereof)

Otherwise, I think villains should be forever reviled as villains, even when they are petty, sweaty, incompetent villains

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

A black cat lays on her back and wiggles in a round cat bed of plush brown material. She leans her head against the bolster and raises a paw playfully toward the person taking the photo. The cat bed is at a window framed by black jacquard curtains.

REMINDER: Just a few months ago, they were suing for the right to NOT feed hungry children with your tax dollars during the government shutdown - all while spending those same tax dollars to stuff their faces with Alaska King Crab.

So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.

Two cats hang out together next to stacked laundry machines. The gray cat is inside of a gray rectangular canvas cat carrier, its top zipped open. The black cat lounges beside him on a square beige pillow. Everything rests on a chocolate brown settée. The laundry machines are shiny chrome. The wall behind the cats is lavender in this photo, although it is more of a dusty eggplant color in person.

Today’s cats are just hanging out #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky
