A kitten sits on a bed, staring at the camera as a second lays stretched out flat on its back.

Sadly, the brutal underground sport of kitten fighting continues to go on unabated, and remains criminally unreported.

Thank you for clarifying; I thought as much and am not surprised. I hope Kenvue (manufacturer of Tylenol) sues the shit out of those idiots!

Genuine question: excuse my ignorance as I haven't seen all of the presser, but are these fuckwits attacking the brand Tylenol or the drug paracetamol?

I and many people I know are autistic but never taken Tylenol because we don't live in the US.

Make it make sense!

Political economy, specifically, the influence of neoliberalism in Australian federal climate and energy policy/policy making. I left Xitter at the same time!

Just did the same and chose to remind Disney of their Nazi-loving past 😡

Over on the bad place, I was Lady Kittington before I got my PhD. I left Xitter more than five years ago, so it wasn't me.

A fluffy white cat lies on a glass surface, seen from below. Its body looks like a squishy cloud pressed against the glass, with tiny paws tucked under like a loaf of bread. The tail curls around snugly, and the cat’s head rests to the side, giving it a peaceful, floating-in-the-air look.

Bit of a timeline cleanse for you…

Here’s a cat on a glass table.

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

"People agreed strongly that research can play a powerful role in shaping good Autistic lives [but] big changes were needed [e.g.,] researchers should stop thinking about autism narrowly and in a negative way, where Autistic people are seen as the problem."

It never fails. 😂😂

Last week I met my new case manager. I told her I was autistic, she had the nerve to say "we prefer the term people with autism,' putting the person first.'" I said that we in the autistic community don’t like that term because autism is not something we have, it’s who we are. #autism

The animal kingdom is truly miraculous! We humans have so much to learn from our animal friends… ❤️😊

The old 'do I really make a difference' meme, with the crying and unhappy whale (oh lord, how apt for me) blowing water into the air. In the distance a small turtle on a rock sees the spray create a rainbow.

We all need to remember the positive effect our visibility has on others.

We have integrity, we are amazing and we all rock!

My son doesn’t eat fish. Any alternative? Replace him with a cat. Cats love fish.

The shoebill stork looks like a dinosaur.. 🦖
Such a beautiful looking bird… 🐦

Sensationalist tweet about potential alien invasion

Finally some good news.

A black bird stands on some cracked concrete, looking upwards at camera. The angle, its stance and its plumage - white eyes are the only let-up from the black - makes the bird look thoroughly pissed off

The Blackbird of Annoyance has replaced the Bluebird of Happiness in my life

this made me laugh so much

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

Social Media Post from let my people glo (@MichellCClark) I don't want wellness practices that teach me to be at peace with an inequitable world. I need practices that help me to stay sane while doing my part to fight against it. if it makes you compliant to injustice, it's not healing-it's sedation.

💯.
