A handsome black cat stretched up and clawing at the wall.

Coming back to that "your cat's personality in one photo." Mia's personality is exactly my profile pic, the sweetest ever. This is Teddy, already knocked some art off the wall, and now going after the nail.

There is one place (that I know of) that does this in Pgh, and I have never tried it. It is polarizing. I feel like I would try it out of curiosity if someone had it, but that hasn't happened and I'm not curious enough to go get it myself!

Absolutely right.

The tweet under Zoe's is a police scanner compliant that someone was mooned.

@feedly.com Getting this error in my feeds for all embedded videos. Is that a feedly issue or a Youtube issue?

If a food bank in another state goes viral for their cute fundraising video, donate to your local food bank. If a medical gofundme asked for $10k and they've raised $100k, find another gfm that still hasn't even broken $1000 yet. Etc. Anyway, that's my soapbox.

So, my advice is, if you see one of those overflowing fundraisers, find another that still has a long way to their goal. Spread it around. SO MANY people need help.

It makes me sad when a fundraiser goes viral and they reach the goal like 10x over. Not that I begrudge the extra money, and I hope they do something good with it. But when you donate at that point, it feels like you're doing it for yourself/to take part in the viral moment, not to fill a real need.

Now that our neighbors are in dire straits with worse to come, can I share something I think about a lot but almost never say, out of fear of sounding kind of callous (in this case, to my like 4 actual followers, so who really cares)?

Remember those people who used to always be like "he's not even taking a salary"? Are they still around?

I have a booth at the Treasure Trove Fleatique (in Crafton, for the Pittsburghers), and I currently have the cutest little pink fuzzy coat with teddy bear ears for sale in there. Just FYI.

First workday shuffle: Not sure I even knew this song, but I like it.

First workday shuffle: I swear this is shuffle, but... it's from the same album as my last one.

Yeah, I followed him on one of the social medias at some point but it was just bumming me out. Interestingly, the few times I’ve seen him live, I worried he’d be a mess but he was great.

First workday shuffle: LOVE this song. We got some kind of pre-release of the album in my office and I listened to it so often that when the "real" album came out with a different track sequence, I was so disoriented.

Torn between agreeing we should not celebrate Columbus, and wishing I had the day off tomorrow anyway.

I'm a sucker. "The longest-tenured teammates in the history of North American sports" gave me real goosebumps. 20 years with the big three! Here we go again,🏒 🐧

First workday shuffle: I'm biased, but this is one of those songs I think should turn into an "old standard" that people sing around a campfire or whatever. Who do we talk to about that?

I have my brother's ESPN+ login, so I thought I could stream it, but apparently not even that, you have to have the more expensive package! Like, I'm fine with not seeing every game, but it should be easy to watch the *first* game of the season, at least!

I guess this still counts as a rightward?

First workday shuffle: nice when I get something upbeat to start the day because I am NEVER upbeat in the morning on my own.
