Huffing kittens is a good treatment for anxiety. Hard to be anxious when you're reassuring a tortie that yes, she is the most perfect and bravest girl. And Maeve decided some emotional support biting would help both of us.

Cosette also got well huffed, and she purred directly into my ear for the longest time, so that was nice. She also aggressively headbutted me, and made sure I was well groomed, so I'm feeling very well loved.

Technically, NOT on the table!

I think lots of folks would benefit from reading the history of the civil rights movement, which targeted America’s home-grown fascist movement. Resistance was constant, even amidst the terroristic threat of lynching. People push back against oppression in big and small ways.

Anyone in need of a BOOP? 😸

I feel like people ignore that sometimes we vaccinate bc the disease is so contagious/widespread and sometimes bc the disease is so horrible and sometimes bc it’s both. For childhood vaccinations it’s both. We’re about to lose our measles elimination status. MEASLES?!

One morning Toad sat in bed. “I have many things to do,” he said. “I will write them all down on a list so that I can remember them.”

The number of people who understand that it's not cool to be on Twitter but who insist on being on substack is fucking bizarre

It’s never too late to start masking again. It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it. Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission. You’ll also get less colds & flus!

ohh, he found such a nice pumpkin 🧡🍂 #art #cuteart #watercolor

The Constitution is something MAGA cites only to justify their use of power and ignores if it restricts their use of power.

Cosette is slowly gaining confidence in the big open spaces. We've done lots of playtime and also she let me snuggle her and kiss her head, so we're still besties.

I thought these only existed in fairy tales until today! 🍄

He came for free from the trash, and he loves stealing trash. The cycle continues. But by god he's beautiful.

Good morning from Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. Yes, I still love that my coworker named her that.

✨Bean is so handsome & has qualities that hint at the possibility of some Norwegian Forest cat in him: very playful, intelligent, outgoing, triangular facial features, plush fur, bushy tail, sturdy build & above average size for his age (dob 4/25). His adopter will get a winner!

Marsupials only eat soup

it's astounding that more companies and universities didn't learn from this, and instead funneled everyone down the "publish or perish" pipeline and now, surprise surprise, cutting-edge science has fallen off a cliff, funding is on its dying gasps, and the world is crying in desperation

QUESTION: Why did it take so long to invent self-trimming wicks?!?? Candles have been used for thousands of years, but the self-trimming wick was only invented in the 1800s. Was it dependent on some other technology or material? What took so long? I am perplexed!

I did not get any Lizard pictures today, but I did see TWO (2!) green anoles yesterday! Here is the second one! 🦎

Audio descriptions are necessary for making videos accessible. They narrate the crucial visual elements that would be necessary for understanding the plot without the ability to see the screen. They describe non-verbal cues like gestures, facial expressions, or eye contact.

This hawk quietly flew over and landed on the fence of the wastewater treatment facility, looking for a snack in the grass. I was briefly considered and then dismissed as a snack. #Birds #Raptors #Photography #BirdsOfPrey #Hawks #NaturePhotography #Birding #BirdWatching
