It is so (February) nice outside. If you're in West Central Indiana, go get some sunshine!

Over the weekend, we mounted these platforms in my office so the kitten can entertain himself while I work. Tiny problem with that plan: I don't want to work when I can watch the kitten entertaining himself.

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow is a wonderful escape from our current reality. I highly recommend. #booksky

The kitten has a nasty eye infection so he got to meet the vet today and we learned he's less kitten than we thought - based on his teeth, he's six months instead of not quite four.

He didn't today, but he's totally going to fall in one day.

Your guess is as good as mine.

I love his little, tiny vampire teeth.

Spending my snow day falling down the Charles Yang YouTube rabbit hole. Wow.

Abolish ICE.

I'm filling a tub in case the storm knocks out the power and the kitten is extremely curious.

Caveat: the kitten was just a real jerk because he wanted me to turn the toy on for him.

Our winter storm warning cake

This toy has saved morning coffee time. The kitten has played with it for 20 minutes so far. www.petsmart.com/cat/toys/int...

Really grateful to have added these two furballs to the family last week.

I just want to live my little life and have some occasional fun without the world descending into fascism and madness, is that so much

This cat has lived here for four days and learned that he's faster than me when playing so he just runs to the spot he knows we're going to and waits for me. FOUR. DAYS. Also, man, I'm glad to have cats again. I missed them.

Hiwassee, Ocoee, and Tennessee - growing up in Southeast Tennessee had its perks.

Very, very pleased that the kitten will accept a nap transfer from a lap to a blanket nest and can sleep through a zoom meeting. On the flip side, I had to pause an earlier meeting to rescue a plant stand from being toppled.

Well, I think he feels safe in his new home.

After many years with older cats, a morning with young ones has worn me out. They are finally asleep and I'm tip-toeing around to not wake them. 💤💤💤

There's a cuddly kitten in my house! We also brought home a three year old but he's not ready for cuddles.

Very excited that these two cuties are coming home with me this afternoon. The little guy will be called Pan and the big one is Odin.

📅 FRIDAY, JAN 9TH ⏰ 4PM 📍VIGO COUNTY COURTHOUSE 🚨 Renee Good is now one of the many who have suffered from ICE's lawless behavior. In Renee's honor, we speak out! 🗣️NO MORE VIOLENCE. 🗣️NO MORE VIOLENCE. 🗣️NO MORE VIOLENCE. 🛑🧊 #reneegood #indivisiblewv #disappearedinamerica #nomore #ice

Spent an hour at a cat cafe playing, petting, and snuggling cats. Highly recommend.

I am a little surprised at how shocked I am. What the fuck.

My husband, who is not online, just learned about the large boulder the size of a small boulder and laughed so hard for so long that our teen and I started laughing with him. Family laughs for the win.

I acknowledge that we are only a third of the way through December, but I've had enough winter, writes the person who just got a winter weather alert. 😞

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Introduce yourself with five animals you have seen in the wild: Elephant seal Sea turtle Wild turkey Groundhog Bald eagle

If this wind knocks out the electricity on Thanksgiving-eve, I'm gonna pitch a fit. I realize that won't fix anything, but it will make me feel better.

The thread we all need in these trying times.

This day deserves a rewatch of The Residence.

No kings but Haynes King! 7-0! Go jackets! Sting 'em!

Went to a No Kings protest with my mom. Very encouraged by the size of the crowd and the numbers of cars who honked as they drove by.

Found the thing that will make me give up my grudge against Apple.

My Fair Lady My mother made my sister and me watch it whenever our accents were a little too Tennessee twangy for her Georgia ears.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

While some of the replies didn't contribute, I felt better after reading the others.

Scott's in Cochran, GA

I recently read Ursula K LeGuin's No Time to Spare. With everything that is going on, it was a comfort.

I'm jealous of people who are in NYC today. I would totally play a version in my town.

Stop scrolling and post 2 characters who bring you joy and happiness.

Highly recommend the public library as a place where young teens can hang out without parental supervision.

Update: garlic scape salt is excellent on a slice of buttered bread

I'm distracting myself by dealing with produce that needs to be dealt with. First up: garlic scape salt!

$107,174,260 stolen from Indiana's education system.

Today, I learned of "Louisville-style" pizza, and I am almost certain the restaurant just made that up.

I would be much less annoyed by AI if when I opted-out I remained opted-out.

How many divers dream of being able to tuck like this?

The first CSA of the season has me looking for baked goods to use up all these vegetables. It's a good problem to have. Trying this soon: notycheese.com/spinach-and-...
