It’s #Caturday so indulge me… An intro post to my babies. Born in March, among 9 kittens from 2 mums, in my friend’s garden. Being allergic, he setup a safe nest outside & fed them as much as possible. I first met them at 4 weeks old. I meant to adopt 1 or MAYBE 2. ⚠️ Brace for cuteness. ⚠️ 1/7

Will the winter never be over, Will the dark days never go? Must the buttercup and the clover Be always hid under the snow? Ah, lend me your little ear, love! Hark! 'tis a beautiful thing; The weariest month of the year, love, Is shortest and nearest to spring. Adeline Whitney

The girls apparently understand umbrellas now and I think I have actually died from the cuteness. #CatSky

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

In August I decided that I would keep 3, not 2 kittens because Croissant slept on my pillow at night and was a total foster fail. I don’t have a single regret. This cat spoons with me at night. She’s bonkers in the best ways. She loves her sisters. What a fucking blessing. #CatSky #CroissantTheCat

Friends! And strangers! I've just used Good Law Project's tool to email MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats. The more they hear from us, the harder it’ll be for them to ignore us. Be an ally, takes 1m: goodlaw.social/9f10d1

Mousse is so confused by the new water fountain that she has forgotten how to sit up like a normal feline.

Mousse is a good multitasking cat. She supervises my work and also guards my clementine.

Juuuuust setting up and will be live soon. #ADMIN

Of course it’s also time for #caturday photo dump of the kittens

External accountability time… 8pm tonight I shall stream some Hollow Knight! And perhaps a bit of knitting, too. If the cats let me. Twitch.tv/lexykin17 #HollowKnight

Photo dump of the girls for #Caturday I love my cats 😭😭😭

Stop uploading VAs voices ripped from audiodramas to character dot ai. It is theft and it is sick and creepy as fuck, and the environment destroying GenAI companies are profiting off our work because you are stealing it for them. Just stop.

Hey @rustyquill.com can you sue these fucking freaks or something please?

I have just found out that some reprehensible fucking dork has made an AI chatbot based on the character I played on The Magnus Archives and *it has my voice*. I genuinely don't think I have ever felt so fucking violated. My actual voice. Saying things I have never said. I feel sick.

Well it’s my first re-read of The Wheel of Time and yep once again I welled up when the malkieri get a visit from Nynaeve and are all getting on board with riding with Lan shouting “The golden crane flies for Tarmon Gai'don”. Proper emotional. 🥲

Oooh Petplan are doing a thing where you can nominate a pet charity to win £1k! It closes at midnight tonight. If anyone would like to nominate Holly's Merry Moggies, our official postcode is NG3 2DG. Thank you!!

And now for some of my very favourite Smol Paul moments in no particular order, starting with the first ever yeet

Finally giving a try to The Traitors a go, with the celebrity version. This is amazing 😂 these people are struggling so much!

Oh I wish I could be as chill as my kittens are about it already being Sunday evening 🥲

Croissant’s got Attitude tonight! 🥐 🐈‍⬛ #Caturday #CatSky

It's 2027. The AI has starting to generate video content directly to the algorithm, which no longer finds human content interesting. The feedback loop collapses into a black hole. Humans can now finally go outside. Some take up knitting.

OK screw it let's see if I can still make OBS work (it's taken me 4hours to sort out enough to go live...) - bit of [bad] Hollow Knight here: www.twitch.tv/lexykin17

Please help us keep little Squiggle fighting to chomp another day. This is a kitten who’s survived a lot & will make a beautiful addition to a family when adopted - but this small shelter needs help with her emergency care.

Talk TV can be as outrageously transphobic as they want, and according to regulator Ofcom, that’s acceptable.

Hmmmm I wonder where Brioche is 🤔 Unfortunately it’s impossible to tell 🤷‍♀️ #Kittens #CatSky #CatsofBluesky

It’s evening nap time with the girlies 🥰 Enjoy the Brioche blep, Croissant wash, and Mousse snooze. Bonus pic of this afternoon’s cuteness. 🍞🥐🫧 #Caturday

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

A sleeping Mousse 🫧😍 #Kitten #Catsky

Oh Croissant you are so normal 🥹 🥐 #Catsky

Ok so here’s the thing. I’m meant to give her away on Saturday and I don’t think I can bring myself to do it. I don’t know if I’m taking away the chance for her two sisters to be top of the pecking order. Or giving her a worse life. Agh.

the scenario we all feared

testing

Croissant continues to be a special girl

So I now have three kittens left. See if you can spot the one that is most Normal when she sleeps. 🥐 #CatSky

Er... Hello!?!

Non-Binary Day is also Bastille Day which means it's time to talk about THEROIGNE DE MERICOURT, the cross-dressing bisexual opera singer slash revolutionary who was rumored to have ridden a cannon through the walls of the Bastille (she didn't, people just liked adding Theroigne to their stories)

Oh Mousse. You are truly a wonder of a kitten. I love my cats 😭😍

Oh kittens. Your crimes come to light…

So this one is going to her new home tomorrow and like, I am distraught.

“.. traffic has dropped by only a single percentage point as a result of leaving Twitter ..” @niemanreports.org #Hellsite niemanreports.org/npr-twitter-...

So dang tired today. I'm dragging. #Spoonie #Disability #NEISvoid (spoon explanation in alt text)

SOMEBODY had a close encounter with a large bee (We are keeping a careful eye on her for any signs of a serious allergic reaction - vomiting, lethargy, loose stools, breathing issues etc. So far she doesn't seem to give a shit)

Oh I should have made this my #Caturday submission!

Kittens. I cannot play in those conditions. Please. #Catsky #BOTW #Zelda #Kittens
