“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Hanging out

If cats never died we’d never get around to cleaning out our freezers

I keep thinking about how many legendary stories there are about this fucking cat and I can’t think of any of them right now, I’m just too sad This cat is a journey.

Please feel free to mute me for a few weeks if you need to; I’ll be talking about pet loss.
