This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Cat-sitting at a friend's house and her tv has a channel showing the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade without commentary or inane interviews or commercials and the cats and I are loving it. #Thankful

Two reasons to go see Rental Family at the movies: one, your ticket encourages studios to fund movies that aren't just sequels or remakes; and two it's really lovely seeing Japan on the big screen. Sweet film, beautifully filmed.

I’ve seen a few people on #BookSky asking for HOLIDAY BOOK recommendations. How about if we start a thread? No judgment about what you pick. It’s not like Die Hard. If you tell us it’s a holiday book in your mind, it’s legit. Helpful if you give title, author, and maybe genre. Self promo is OK. 📚💙 ☃️

To my veg friends this week: -may your sides be plentiful; -may your sides "accidentally" made with chicken stock and/or bacon be few; And -may your secret stash of veg protein go undiscovered in the freezer. #Thanksgiving #Jackfruit #nuggets

Hey, has anyone gone across the US by bus? Yea or nay? I feel like they'll be lots of cool things to see and also a good chance I'll be saying "I'm too old for this sh*t" at the end.

My #FridayRead is The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. Two linked mysteries set in the Adirondacks in the 1960s and 70s. Strong female characters, sexism, classism, summer camps, woodsmanship (is that the word?). A fun read, kept me guessing. #AmReading #Fiction #BookSky

Was surprised at all the cool #midcenturymodern stuff I found at my parents' house during the cleanout. I guess I'm a sucker for mid mod now. Trying to sell some items, even though my joy is def sparked. ebay.us/m/kKC4Io #Tea #cup

I SAY "TEAM LEAD" YOU SAY "-ER!"! #ImAlwaysGonnaSayErInMyHead

Meanwhile over on my local "lost and found pets" page, a legitimate question. #Krampus #Anti-Claus #NotSoMuchAPet

I've come to realize in recent times that while I do love a good slab of vinyl, I'm not a vinyl junkie, I'm a song junkie. I'll take it on any format I can get it.

Things I've learned: If it's a house, it's a showing. If it's a dead body, it's a viewing. If it's a bass, it's upright. If it's jokes, it's stand-up. If it's a person, you're caregiver. If it's a house, you're a caretaker. You're welcome. #wordplay #words #CatLadySays

My neighbors are moving and I get teary-eyed every time I think about their dog not being next door anymore. I mean, they're super nice, cool people, great neighbors... but I love that dog.

"The particular yellow he used, says designer Aneesh Bhoopathy, was influenced by taxicabs, MetroCards, and (perhaps most of all) bodega signage." 💛💙🩵 #design #typestyle

I can't believe we have to change "adopt, don't shop" to "adopt to own, don't shop or clone." F*ck Tom Brady. #Adopt #Rescue #HelpHomelessPets #ShelterPets

The last four Godzilla Day posters I’ve done, I always look forward to this even if it’s a little more challenging than my usual fare #godzilla #godzilladay

November 1st should be Halloween Candy drop off day, like they do for leftover opioids. Every CVS will take your candy, no questions asked.

This Halloween I'm giving out candy plus individual mac n cheese cups and Ramen because this is America, 2025.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

I'm still using the exact same carving tools from when my Dad first taught me to carve a jack o'lantern from a pumpkin. I still love it every year too. #Halloween #SamHain

It is a legal requirement that all cat names must evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

It may not solve all of problems currently facing the world, but I think we can all agree that bringing back gargoyles, mixtapes, and handwritten letters with wax seals would be an important first step.

Kings I respect. #NoKings #BugsBunny

My #NoKings sign, both sides

So, yeah, I'm tired of rallying and I could be painting my house today, but to the people shit-talking #NoKings, what should we be doing while America devolves into a dictatorship? What are you doing to stop it?

Last summer there was a lot going on. In the midst of it, I bought a little extension ladder, some ladder hooks. Worked on a project then hung that ladder on my fence with an old bike lock to keep it safe. Do you think I can remember/find the combo now that I need the ladder again? #dumb #StAnthony

The house I grew up in was listed for sale today for the first time since the 1960s. Seeing it empty for the first time too. Really hoping to find it a new family. #LifeisChange

October playlist alternating between Bad Bunny and Hipster Halloween.

My phone is dumber than phones used to be. Why is that? It doesn't capitalize a lone i , it doesn't change id to I'd, even when followed by rather. And today it changed muddling to cuddling and meddling, when muddling was what I meant.

Despite the ongoing war in Portland there are still kittens waiting to be adopted at Oregon Humane Society and Cat Adoption Team 🦁 Get yours while supplies last! #cats #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #WarTornPortland

I'll happily remain in the minority. In the last 6 weeks I've seen Weapons Jaws 50 Caught Stealing The Fantastic Four (more than once) The Long Walk All the President’s Men Ne Zha Nothing beats being at the theater. Period.

If Trump starting shit with IKEA results in Sweden weaponizing access to the Skarsgärds I will become radicalized in ways the world is not prepared for.

“If you don’t own a gun, you can’t have an opinion on the Second Amendment.” Cool take! Now do uteruses.

I'm at the laundromat. Coincidentally, I am also dressed like this 1940's woman wearing a French maid's outfit, portrayed on the wall.

My plans for the week. #Dumpster #CleaningOutMyFamilyHome

When I volunteered at the Sundance Film Festival, there was a guy who looked a bit like Robert Redford, who would wear a long camel-colored coat and walk right into venues as if he owned the place. We vols called him NotBob. It was a wonderful fest in a beautiful part of the world. RIP Bob Redford.

Happy First Day You Can Bring Seasonal Decor Into the Consignment Shop Day to everyone who celebrates. To everyone trying to lighten their loads, I feel you. #LessIsMore #CleaningOutTheFamilyHome

I don't need a phone reminder to change out the cat pheromone atomizer thingy because the one cat suddenly attacking the other cat for no reason is my monthly reminder. 😿#CatLadyBlues

You'd be surprised how often I find myself sing/saying in conversation, "All the girls say he's pretty spry for an old guy." Is Offspring still alive because I'd download that reboot. #GiveItToMeBaby

Just started a new #FridayReads (yesterday), Chuck Wendig's The Staircase in the Woods. I read his pandemic book right before our pandemic so I have a bit of trepidation with this one. #AmReading #Booksky

Giving away tens of thousands of books this weekend in an effort to keep them out of landfills. Do your heirs a favor and downsize your own shit.

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work & passion they had put into their music, & I really think that comes through in the photos.

I cannot stress just how important it is to let people have their early Halloween decorations and pumpkin spice drinks and be as basic as they wanna be this year without making them feel some type of way about it. Like, for your own safety.

My Chinese lanterns are fabulous this year! This is not bragging because I literally did nothing other than not mow them. #garden #joy #bloomscrolling #ChineseLanterns #AGoodOrangeThing
