PNW forest near a creek with older, fairly huge Doug fir tree trunks in the foreground and distance, ground covered in lush foliage, duff and rotted wood, fallen wood and a giant root ball with baby trees growing on it too in the center of the picture

I hope this email doesn't find you because you are walking among giants in the forest

She knows ❤️

Govt. Website 'Glitch' Removes Trump's Least Favorite Part of Constitution Trump is trying to take over the Library of Congress, but its website already deleted a part of the Constitution that Trump officials don’t like.

Oh man, I HATE it when the parts of the Constitution that prevent me from turning the United States into a fascist dictatorship accidentally disappear. But those wacky computers and their zany glitches haha, what can you do hahaha

Vanta, a small black cat with a white blaze, stands on a cat climber leaning toward the camera with big eyes

Vanta would like to know what mischief you’ve gotten up to today and also can she do some mischief too

Tasks for the Mourning, or Flowers as for Flesh - Small Wonders 1. Say something kind about the day, / perhaps / that it will be good enough.

"Tasks for the Mourning, or Flowers as for Flesh" by G.E. Woods gives us careful, detailed instructions for one of the hardest tasks of all. Read it today and let it change you:

Hmmmmmmm 🤨

Ah, so you agree with me! Perhaps you will join my campaign against This Nonsense!

See I’m just not sure I can imagine either of you having a sleep surplus 😅

But it’s silly to be this tired when I’ve been sleeping so much every other day! Shouldn’t that count for something? I’d like a word with the cosmic accountant.

I’d been getting so much sleep lately that I figured one night of lousy sleep wouldn’t impact me much. I’ve got a sleep surplus! ~yawn~ I am sorry to report that it doesn’t work this way. I want to file a complaint.

Reminder to self and others: stretching is good. Move around a bit. Your human suit will thank you for it later (or at least not complain as loudly ow ow ow)

Grumblemumblemutter food is allegedly necessary to live ok fiiiiiiiiine

Thanks for the reminder <3

Oh The Mediterranean Joint is soooo good! Glad you landed at one of the best in town :D

Oooo which Mediterranean place is that? The Mediterranean Joint and Banzo are two of my favs!

Going to Hell - Small Wonders The road to hell is paved with federal funding, and thus could use some infrastructural attention.

What would take with you on a trip to Hell? And what would you leave behind? It's a bumpy ride in "Going to Hell" by @jlakagi.bsky.social, but definitely worth the trip:

I am now picturing Vanta floating and with several crowns, like some kind of Final Fantasy boss

She is amazing.

Embry her powers are only growing soon I won't be able to contain the cute OR the crime!

Vanta, a small black cat with big gold eyes, protests her innocence.

Vanta, a small black cat with a white blaze on a starry comforter. She has clearly never done any wrong in her entire life.

The back of a bag of whisker licking treats, gnawed upon and ripped open by a master thief.

Crime cat continues to crime. Vanta dragged a bag of treats UP the stairs and chewed it open near me while I was on a call.

Vanta, a black cat with a small white blaze, is sprawled out on a blanket in an armchair. Her paws and tail are all intertwined and she is giving the camera side eye with her golden eyes.

Today’s moment of cat:

A family of mature and very wiry collared parachute mushrooms grow from a blackened bit of decayed stick, held between two fingers in a green summer forest. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

I was covered in cats all day!

A tall window, misted over on the outside, looking out into very green vines and a rainy day.

Blizzara, a white tabby cat, falling asleep with her eyes almost squinched shut on my lap. Her nose is so pink and her paws are all tucked underneath her and the white tip of her striped tail is curled near her head.

It is truly a wonder I accomplished anything today.

If you're willing to even consider that Trans people don't deserve autonomy and liberty, stop following me for one, you ape, but you are CLEARLY SAYING you believe personhood is a sliding scale and negotiable.

And that's fucked up.

It's raining today, a steady rain that sounds almost exactly like one of the sounds I put on to go to sleep. The world is gray and green and the windows are misted up and why am I awake again?
