(Spotted this at my local bookshop, and it feels perfect for a Diet Book Deep Dive - or at least a little buffet offering on Maintenance Phase. @yrfatfriend.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social )

Mundane mourning angain?? (Monday morning again??)

Mama Joolia am an champium snuggoler. (Mama Julia is a champion snuggler. [If anybody wonders why my holiday cards end up going out later than anticipated, I present Exhibit A.])

Throwup Thorsdays of Babbey Sabo try to eat hoom phone! (Throwback Thurs of Baby Sabo trying to eat human's phone! Vid description: a juvenile tabby plays with an unseen object [a hair clip] extremely close to the phone. Eventually, she starts sniffing at the phone itself & begins chomping on it)

(It makes me happier than it should to see Todd cozy on this chair. He's been spending a LOT of time in a couple kitchen cabinets recently, which could be partly due to cooler weather but seems a lot more timidity, so I was glad to see him relaxed in the open.)

SIGN IT

Our second owner surrender in one week, this beautiful, soft and fluffy boy is named Moon. He was too overwhelmed by six! Small children! in his last home and wasn’t getting enough stimulation, and has grown up as an only kitten so is now a teen with some misplaced rough play behaviors with the kids

Brofur Eliot am hard at werk on Sundae biskits. (Brother Eliot is hard at work making Sunday biscuits.)

Olde Grismouse veddio when i waz stil an chiold

We can’t have all Jeans. We have to have Jortses to balance them out

(I checked with a librarian I know through @tsta-nea.bsky.social - in a different, larger district- and she got the same error, so this does seem like it may be something implemented at the state-level- I know our access is provided by a Texas State Library & Archives Commission program.)

It's that time of year, time to show you all the Greatest Christmas Movie Ever starring the 2 best cats ever. I miss them terribly but they live forever as Mr. Scourge and Bob Critchet

Reached out to Gale Cengage over on The Bad Place to see if this is a statewide change and, if so, which part of which recent legislation it was in response to? I had a student who did a research paper on abortion this past spring...

Whale, I'm try and get gomfy gozy, butt yours assist on sharon pillo. (Well, I'm trying to get comfy cozy, but you insist on sharing pillows.)

Mine hoom am come back, but dis Shanks am half to sharing the hers? (My human came back, but this Shanks has to share her?)

This little baby is with @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social and is in the same serious situation as little Zack was. She needs to see an ER vet immediately, and Rocket Cat could use donations to make sure they can cover every avenue of care for her possible. Please consider helping them try to save her.

Disspite mine best efforts, dis Shanks half bin forgor (smol type, apposedly). (Despite my best efforts, this Shanks has been 'forgotten' [for a short time, supposedly]. [Yes, I'll be back tomorrow evening. Just a quick trip.])

An eepy meetbol (A sleepy meatball)

Throwup Thorsdays of mine honting skills (Throwback Thursday of my hunting skills Video description: Shanks, the ginger Persian sits on a tall dresser, initially batting at a squirrel on the TV, then watching it and a couple birds.)

(I was so tired when I took Sabo for her appointment since it turned out I was sick myself that I forgot to post that I spoke to the vet about Julia, and he agreed that it was okay to end her isolation since the parasites and not her diet are probably her bigger problem.)

Some of my favorite early couples photos of Charlie and Fizgig

(Shit, this week just won't let up. I received a signed copy of Disability Intimacy from Alice earlier this year as a gift for contributing to a fundraiser for masks during the devastating fires in southern California.)

An hawt take: it shud not be all most 90 fahrenheits in an middol of Novemburr. (Hot take: it shouldn't be almost 90° Fahrenheit in the middle of November.)

Brofur Ronald am wandering if yours coming hears offtens. (Brother Ronald is wondering if you come here often.)

11-26-2015 after everyone had come inside for the first time

The first time we met Charlie Brown, exactly 10 years and one day before we lost him, November 11, 2015, with baby Ludo. Look at that handsome brick of a cat and such a good dad.

(Classic CB lore from the bad place if any of you missed out.) x.com/CharlieBrown...

(I know I'm not in a great mood, but this is shitty wording, right? Also, for whatever flaws Chick-fil-A has, I know from two of these previous events that they CAN accommodate various dietary needs.

(This is a better tribute, not just the awful news.) amp.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-c...

(Rough day. Just heard about the passing of one of my dearest friends from my time at the paper. I had heard about the accident, but between getting sick and not doing much human social media, I didn't know the rest. Such a terrible loss.) www.star-telegram.com/news/local/a...

Whomst am soch brafe and stay with Invaders for an hole nite?? (Who was so brave and stayed with the fosters for a whole night?? [She must have snuck in while I was cleaning their litter boxes and didn't cry too much. She has quiet mews, but I would have heard her going by.])

Wott an heal, hoom? (What the hell, human? [I'm on antibiotics, so can't open my Cabernet SauvignJohn yet, but that didn't stop me from having the tiniest dance party. That's ginger ale in my custom Nicolas Cage wine glass. @lastweektonight.com ])

Am an Shanks onder dese French shits? (Is a Shanks under these fresh sheets?)

Dis hoom am v sickly (strip type), so ours half to do many norse dooties. (This human is very sickly [with strep AGAIN], so we have to do many nurse duties.)

Flashdance Fries Day of an gorls type fite (Flashback Friday of a girl fight)

(You better believe I ordered a bottle of Big Daddy Zazu Red! Should I have? Maybe not, but it was basically like donating to a food bank [which I'm also doing here in Texas] with a side of hopefully drinkable wine. And a bottle that will make me giggle long after the alcohol wears off...)

Sabo am get poak by vee-ee-tea ladies AND sniff by dis creachur? Wott an heal? (Sabo is getting poked by the vet and vet tech AND sniffed by this creature? What the hell??)

Am dis Shanks doing the it rite? (Is this Shanks doing it right?)

¿Flan para Momma Joolia, purr fafurry? (¿Flan para Mamá Julia, por favor? [Flan for Mama Julia, please?])

Flashdance Fries Day of Mama Joolia macking biskits for tricker treet (Flashback Friday of Mama Julia making biscuits for trick or treat Video description: A fluffy tortie kneads a white blanket in the middle of the bed. Her tabby kitten can be seen behind her at the foot of the bed.)
