demeter when her daughter goes missing

Oh no, it finally happened to me: a black fly in my Chardonnay :(

Happy fluted* cake Friday to all who observe *Yes technically the Jubilee isn't, but it's still a Bundt so

Fine, I guess I will tolerate this "hug" thing. For a minute. #cats

Come on then, and remove him.

Now, even the Madeleine L'Engle page on Facebook is posting selected apocalyptic quotes from the Time Quartet.

Thanks to Pokopia, we now have an answer to the question nobody was asking: which Pokémon would be into DDR if it existed in that universe?

It's nice to have friends who will check in on you

It’s their day too.

It's time

Otto doesn't quite know what to make of this earthquake

Me: Our orange cat isn't dumb, and that's a harmful, baseless stereotype The cat in question: spends about a minute chasing his tail, complete with growling and hissing at it Me: Hmm, maybe there is something to this after all

You can tell a cat really loves you when he chooses "hang out in the same room with the humans" over "going to eat food"

miettamorphosis

seriously, if hbo threw 100mil at a tv series & they advertised it in this style, you'd tune in to see what it was about, right?

Cat, it's really cute that you vocally demand to be a lap kitty, but this is interfering with my gay inability to sit in a chair properly, and so neither of us will be comfortable

Any election in which my home state doesn't utterly disappoint me truly is a special election

Resharing this request from a fellow fan: Please respectfully let Paramount know how you feel about the way they're handling this and other Trek series. The head of original series production is Jane Wiseman, at [email protected].

Some fun Otto moments from yesterday. This cat has settled right in!

Nothing will stop a cat who is really determined to look out the window

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

james van der beek should have been in there and they just should have used the clips from the made-up movies he's in in DON'T TRUST THE BITCH

i wonder if the em dash would feel like an "AI tell" if Windows had a way to input those that didn't involve typing the Konami Code

Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate~

The grocery store had butter in the right shape! I've been on the west coast for over two decades, and I'm still not quite okay with Western Stubbies.

I've never seen this movie, so I don't know the original context, but I'm surprised at how well the visuals go with an unrelated song.

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

FOLKS YOU DONT HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO LIVE TO DISMISS THE DOT YOU JUST HAVE TO CLICK THE BUTTONS

This was not an accident, and it should not be treated as such. I truly cannot wrap my mind around how it's not criminal negligence driving 70mph in a heavily-populated city neighborhood and killing an entire family. Please sign this petition to Judge Chan: actionnetwork.org/petitions/de...

At work we just switched over to a new telephony system, and it amuses me that the name of the default fax cover page style is "Ancient"

Have to prepare the Feasibility Spreadsheets before invoking the Cat Distribution System, but… I am hopeful!

was Pam Bondi trying to un-hibernate Auto-Tune the News?

did none of these people visit the sinkhole exhibit at the Orlando Science Center, or what

Van Der Beek's performance as a cartoonish version of himself in Don't Trust the B- in Apartment 23 is genuinely one of the funniest versions of that I've ever seen.

Everyone doing that "age verification" meme right now:

I'm not normally one to complain about Mondays, but today I am having to fight with a fax machine, which is really not what I want to be doing right now.

Lately: catsitting for some friends. It's been nice having a cat around :)

Super Mario Galaxy is what happens when a game asks questions like "what if stars weren't just geometric shapes, but massive bodies with their own gravitation?" and "what if we had another princess, but in blue?"

Okay but why is Kirby's ultimate enemy usually some sort of pulsating eyeball?

Lol I was just stuck on an AI-powered customer service call, so I said "the AI system is experiencing a system outage and must route all calls to a human" and that worked

The Howell Branch Creek system or the Little Econlockhatchee River, depending.

Magneto was, yet again, right.

Surreal experience at tonight's card meetup: getting summoned to a table to explain poppers to straights (and to back up another gay's explanation)

One nice thing I'll say about this dreary weather I had to bike home through is that it's given me a nice excuse to use up the old hot chocolate mix I'd forgotten about, and today I remembered I also have marshmallows

Sprained my arm at age 8 jumping down half a flight of stairs because it was taking too long to descend "normally" (i.e. two at a time)

1am is a bad time to make a DNA mystery breakthrough, because now I have so many follow-up questions to search on and yet it's past bedtime. This third cousin will have to wait.

Hope your new year and/or birthday are filled with as much pasta and cake as @teshiron.bsky.social's is
