Cat upstairs, occupied. Me downstairs, quietly opening the cabinet holding the litter box. I hear a thump above. I start scooping. Then the sound of a cat jingling down the stairs. She hops into the litterbox I'm trying to clean. Every. Single. Time. #cats #ilovemycat

Happy #canada Day to our friends up north! Not all of us are insane and/or want to make you the 51st state. We will survive this stupid timeline together as friends. #canadaday #friends

No one's birthday, but out of town guests are a good enough reason to visit #pips #pdx #doughnuts

Judge: “You stand accused of murder in the first degree. How do you plead?” “Well, we are all going to die.” Judge: “Release this man!”

Remembering trans man Albert Cashier for Pride, Union soldier during the civil war, was captured, marched a thousand miles without them figuring out his assigned sex at birth, escaped, and went right back to fighting them. Lived the rest of his life as a man. We have always been here.

“Why do your windmills have keepers? Surely everything can be remote monitored, and you could helicopter in a technician at need? I see you’ve even got a landing pad on the turbine top already, just above those windows, which are kind of adorable now that I think about it.” “Oh yes, it costs […]
