How are the kittens getting along with the big guys? Well. J’zargo has been waiting his whole life for this.

So a different feral tortie dropped off four weaned kittens on my porch two days ago. I am trying to find a foster situation for them and hopefully they are not too old. Otherwise TNR and I’ll look after them, but this needs to stop please. I guess we have a rep now. I’d keep them all if I could.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Things are still shit but these guys are helping me keep going. 9 weeks old and perfect. And their big brother kitty is in heaven. #catsky

Tail end of local strawberry season so we have strawberry gelato made with some of the last batch. Heaven. #cooksky

We will have to go mostly vegetarian this week to get through all of this. So be it! I also have another gallon bag of mixed salad greens from the neighbors. Again so grateful to have an amazing farm to support just down the road.

My goal this long weekend was to clean up my digital life. What a slog. I’m closer to ditching Google completely, got rid of a ton of abandoned/forgotten accounts and have moved all my files scattered across two desktops and a laptop to Proton as backups. The photos were both happy and tough.

I just opened an 80 page cross stitch pattern and the stupid cannot seem to turn off AI bullshit in Adobe asked if a would like a summary because it’s a long document. 🤬

This. All of this... the whole thread. I am always deeply suspicious of people who ask me why I am not monetizing my hobbies or why I do not use my education to join an industry that makes more money. These people have no joy in their lives and cannot comprehend ours, especially now.

New album about to drop. #catsky #kittens

I do not and will not. Moved to Vivaldi browser, Startpage for search when I'm at home, DDG when I'm not at home and Proton for everything else I used to use Google for. It's possible even for a non techy person to do. Fuck them.

Did I make the kittens a nest on my desk from an old cashmere sweater. Yes. Yes I did. They just disappear into two sets of eyes in the abyss.

One of the best things about learning to cook a lot of different cuisines is that when I’m doing the end of week fridge clean out, I can discover new wonderful things. This evening was tteok with collard greens, leftover roast pork and black bean garlic sauce.

In these times of utter despair over many things, I highly recommend desk kittens. #catsky #kittens

If only.

This week sucked so here’s 15 seconds of my 8 week old baby Apollo purring in his sleep. #catsky #kittens

I've read MANY posts about boycotting Tennessee and letting us all crash and burn because the South in general is not worth saving. Look at this photo of Rep. Justin Pearson and tell me there is not fight left here, that there is nothing worth saving. There is. Photo - Nicole Hester/The Tennessean

From 2003-2011 we had a Dem governor and until very recently a Dem congressperson always representing Nashville. Al Gore was our Senator. Now we will also lose Memphis. It was not always like this. This is recent. This was planned for a long time.

I hope you are all well. I hope you all can find something, no matter how small, to smile over. Whimsy matters.

It is strawberry season here, which means home baked angel food cake. I’m at the point where I will celebrate whatever I can.

People who loath AI are being portrayed as reactionaries, but how are we supposed to feel when the people creating all this crap do not give a shit about anything but money. Calling hobbies "low stakes" so it doesn't matter if the content is wrong or hallucinated or just crap is wrong. #knitsky

#csa challenge year two. We had very very little waste last year. My challenge this year will be remembering to do something with the odd bits like radish tops. I splurged on sourdough and flowers this week too. Support local farms whenever you can!

We have friends everywhere.

I wish this were not so true.

Oh what wouldn’t I do for these two little soot sprites who have stolen my heart. I do not begrudge them the late night feedings, especially when we get the purring pile of fur after. #catsky #kittens

He’s just a walking intrusive thought. I love him.

We have reached the “Amanda screams obscenities at sportscaster assholes and refs” part of the Flyers playoff experience. My apologies to my loved ones and pets.

My neighbors are the best. I gave them a couple dozen eggs and they picked these for me. It’s little things like this that make me feel some hope for this world. #peony #gardening

Those of us in deep blue Southern cities with zero representation at the federal level and very little at the state level are very pleased with the GOP tears today. VERY pleased.

How are things? This is how things are here. #catsky #kittens

I have gone outside, touched grass and bought all of my culinary herbs and a few veggie starts and a few flowers to start filling in the gaps from digging out half my front garden. Why yes, I do feel better now. #gardening

Not only did I get a tariff bill for a book, when I disputed it with #FedEx, I got this response. Like... seriously. Pay the $20 or maybe get charged a lot more? There is no tariff on books and the stupid NEW tariff excludes books. The packing slip said BOOK. I'm so mad. #booksky #idiocracy

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance, or you're eliminated.

I have 12 #chickens and every night when I shut them in this is stuck in my head as I account for all of them. Every. Night. #sesamestreet #pinball12 #earworm

I just had this awful moment when J’zargo became super focused on the space between our pillows in bed and wondered what horrors were there. Spider? Worse? His favorite bird toy. I was about to levitate out of this bed. 🤭 #catsky #cats #horror

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

Of course we fished out another Wednesday morning. So here’s your #caturday moment of squee. Meet Artemis (illegally smol) and Apollo (slightly less but still quite smol). Vetted, rehydrated and causing me to get nothing else done including sleep. #catsky #kittens #cats #fosterfail

So that night of disassociating I had planned? That did not happen. This happened. Estimated between 3-4 weeks, found screaming under my house. Drinking kitten formula. Vet tomorrow. Has some pipes! Pray to Bast they are healthy. #catsky #catdistributionsystem #smol

We've been too long American dreaming I think we've all lost the way Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal In the dark

I think I am going to unplug myself, go play the harp for a while and then make something really good for dinner. Maybe General Tso's or perhaps some pesto gnocchi and then pile up on the sofa with the man and the cats and play Diablo 4 and just enjoy the moment because today has been soul crushing.

I've been in sales meetings all day just barely portraying a sane and happy person while hyperventilating between those meetings. But I am glad I have all the numbers in my phone because it does make it easier.

This is so cool, during the lunar flyby the astronauts are just looking out the windows, taking pictures, and describing stuff they see back to the science team at mission control. Like this is a critical component of the scientific mission, "I see a thing!" and then others will analyze it.

I just ordered a few groceries from Instacart so that I could make something I’m craving (Thai basil noodles) after a horrendous day and half the order was cancelled and half of the remaining items were replaced with the weirdest choices. I really do know better, but ugh. Back to no Instacart.

Came home from a movie date to a opossum on the porch who could not decide how they wanted to exit. So we all just stared at each other for a while. It’s was very polite.

Romantasy is not 'fairy porn'. It is powerful writing for women, by women, says Katie Fraser in her recent Comment piece 👇 #BookSky

I see my future.

There was corned beef and cabbage and carrots and because I’m Southern as well, cornbread. And yes, a bit of O’Carolan on the harp.

And they'll dance...

I just spent 4 hours cleaning up my yard from all the branches that fell and cutting down the damaged ones from the ice storm last month so that I can run my robot mower cause it’s been like late Spring but also prepping for possible tornado tomorrow followed by highs in the 30s Monday. Great.
