It’s #caturday so let me introduce you to Bob! He’s a handsome FIV+ 9 year old who likes other cats. Avail near Sacramento at Bradshaw animal shelter. SO SQUISHY! Can you share @fishtopher.bsky.social @missybbbobtail.bsky.social @catsofyore.bsky.social
It was not only flavorless, but had an unpleasant, gritty texture. Never again
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Happy Weekend Everyone!
I have never experienced something so bland in my life, & I spent 17 years in the Midwest.
Just ordered Burmese for the first time. Fellow vegetarians: should it taste like bland, unseasoned veggies in a broth that tastes like broccoli water? The steamed rice contained the most flavor of both dished I ordered
Honestly. If your litter box is so stinky that your lost cat can smell it from unknown blocks away: I get why they left. Also: if your cat is outside their own home, but still need to smell their box to recognize it….
Still thinking that a DID diagnosis is in store with Erica Slezak joining as a new character. With all the OLTL & AMC references lately, it seems possible

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

I misread this as “Spicy Training for the WSB,” and it still holds up 😂
Canada is like Charley in Death of a Salesman. The US is like Willy Loman: in complete denial of reality, reminiscing about glory days that never were, and creating policy based on fantasy.
Not everyone will get a joke. Not everyone needs to 🤷♀️
There’s an old saying that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich,” if they are good at their job. That’s the joke here
For everyone @ ing me about screwworms…the book comes out in March, and I feel reality is being in poor taste jumping the gun on this one. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

This approach would CRUSH my ADHD. LIKE: I’ve been cleaning all day…and not ONE. ROOM. is fully clean. Pick one room, clean 100%. Move to the next room. Measurable progress visible

Found it
I want my two dollars!! 😆
I would buy this album in a heartbeat (@fakemusic_br instagram) #funk #acdc
i've tried a lot of fidget toys and such and the problem with all of them is that they do not accurately replicate the behavior that i am trying to avoid, which is "fucking with my fingernails until they bleed"
My brother just sent me this picture of me at 3 Not all my gifts were immediately apparent

Please have a word for these entitled & self-indulgent asshats while you're at it.
Thank goodness for the people I derided as “gun nuts” preventing a tyrannical government from sending soldiers into American cities to crush dissent, just like they said they would. Oh. Wait.
My preschool teacher put animal stickers on our cubby holes/coat hangers. I got Bossy the Cow, because I kept telling a classmate to stop kissing me in an angry tone. She also corrected my “what do you want to be when you grow up” picture from Dr to Nurse based on my sex. I hated her

bet sharks accidentally eating humans instead of seals is like biting into a raisin cookie expecting it to be chocolate chip.
Daily dose of cuteness… 🥰❤️
Ok. Stop this. 🤭🤣
How much for the land, fertilizer, and water to grow it? Asking as someone living without adequate direct sunlight and in a high-desert sandy soul climate with a 2.5 month outdoor growing season. It’s a rich tapestry, but milage does vary.

Ahhh, the long-held Midwestern tradition of adding clandestine meat products into unexpected places. Any vegetable casserole: can of cream of chicken soup. Any vegetable side: gelatin & beef or chicken broth 🤢🤮
Thrilled for any excuse to share my favorite void kitty photo of all time featuring Captain Oso and his Mini Me 😻😹 #FormerFoster Saul Goodman (2022) #NationalBlackCatAppreciationDay #BlackCatAppreciationDay
Trusted to make his own medical decisions. Not get told that they were still within the "breeding limits" so that would be a no from the Doc
*vegan option is just a lot of mushrooms in place of the animal protein

My mom didn’t even visit my campus until my junior year.”If you went somewhere worth visiting, I would.” She admitted it was much prettier than Boulder, where she visited my sister at least every year
Remember “the Swan”? It was the Biggest Loser + plastic surgery, because even if you lose weight…you’re still hideous
His name was Charley Brown, and he was wholly unrepentant. He was also caught two paws deep into licking a lasagna pan clean while left alone in the kitchen during a family dinner, and slept in my crib with me when I was an infant ❤️
My parents had a cat that stole a Cornish hen off a guest’s plate at a fancy dinner party they were hosting and dragged it behind the living room sofa.
I haven’t ever listened to her music, but the idea that any art form evoking emotions universal to the human experience (love, loss, joy, despair, betrayal, ecstasy) is somehow hinged upon similar lifestyles is, well (Oscar) Wild
Many are children who qualify for medicaid due to poverty
Got it reissued today & EFT rather than paper. My whole life has become documenting this complete horseshit. They truly, truly suck
Oh, yes. I filed 2 formal complaints on different days after speaking with her. Said I wanted a new adjuster, never wanted to speak to her again, & was planning to leave USAA over the shitty experience 😂
They issued a check today for personal items… made out to my maiden name. All of my paperwork with them is issued in my married name which was legally changed nearly 10 years ago
This was last Friday. Fire was 7/28.
My original adjuster went 8 days without returning our calls, emails, texts, or USAA portal questions. Didn’t approve anything, then called on day 8 to complain about her caseload and tell me not to try to contact her again. Then tried to close the claim when I requested a new adjuster. I was livid
Actively looking at different homeowners & auto insurance. It has been a truly craptacular experience. I threatened litigation & got 1) a new adjuster, 2) the electrical work covered, and c) drywall & paint covered. It’s a full time job to get them to pay as required
Had an electrical fire in an outlet in my home. USAA claims adjuster refused to cover the electrical repairs/restoration/safety inspection, refused to cover the drywall repair, the insulation, and tried to close my claim without any personal property details. 3 weeks, no living room. Ongoing saga
A salt with a breadly weapon
oh this poor boy needs our help :( please consider donating if you're able to!
This is a good point. Lots of dyslexics are very, very smart. His family hid his challenges with reading and didn’t connect him with anyone who could help him to overcome it or tools to help him be more literate. They likely were (wrongly) ashamed of it. That ascribed shame is baked into his psyche
It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!
Fired for depicting the ugly truth, just another sad day in America...
Alternatively: fine companies that don’t pay a living wage & benefits. Tax stock share payouts to CEOs. Pay your fucking fair share, & everybody in our society benefits. I can’t fucking “incentivize” you into having a goddamned soul or an ounce of basic human decency. The entitlement is astounding
Who fucking checks LinkedIn every day, even if you’re on the job market? If I was retired, I’d never open it ever again
it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving
We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.
What arguing over the internet looks like.
Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.
It is
Good to note: “yo soy embarasado” does NOT mean “I’m embarrassed” in Spanish (thank the gods I knew this back then)
Oh, yes! Hahaha. 16, blonde, pale, & strutting around with this mouth. We did build 10 complete latrines for people with very unclean water and serious associated diseases by the end of the summer. My village & host family were very kind and forgiving of our linguistic blunders
I was a volunteer worker in rural Mexico (building latrines) when I was in high school. My first, stressful, jet-lagged day in my village, I repeatedly said “me siento mucho” (I feel a lot, or I touch myself a lot) rather than”lo siento mucho” (I’m very sorry) 🤦♀️
I’m tempted, but no
Typing was offered in 5th grade with cursive writing, but we had “keyboarding” (computer literacy & basic coding) in middle school in the mid-80s. Never saw a single typing course in my north shore Chicago high school. Never met anyone in college who took a typing class in HS. But sure, OK
Dude sitting behind me brought a toddler to the Two Towers. About 90 mins in, kid asked loudly to “go potty,” but dude kept saying “in a minute.” After another while, kid starts crying, and we all smelled the shit in his pants. Gold star parenting
This is one thing I did not personally experience. My husband and I moved in together in the mid-90s in rural Appalachia. All of our coupled friends cohabitated-it was the norm. We married 25 years later, & lived together in multiple cities & states with zero issues. So sorry for others, though
Add in a gentle thunderstorm, and this is my ideal.
Our two tall cat trees are in the living room, and need to be removed by the restoration team. They are used to racing up and down the stairs and up & over the trees. Pent up zoomies at 5am in a confined bedroom are…not ideal
They are confined with us upstairs overnight and are closely supervised during the day when they can roam free. Dear reader, cats love nothing less than close monkey butler supervision. They are sick of our shit, but remain sweet beasts
Fittingly, we normally “live” in our living room. X-box, router, big TV, comfy sofa: all in there. It’s a shit-show, and keeping cats away from floor-to-ceiling plastic sheeting is a full time job.
Had a small electrical fire in the living room wall. Fire Dept deployed & everything. Got all of us out, cats and all before they arrived. Dry wall tested positive for asbestos , so my LR looks like a Dexter set. USAA is non-responsive on approving abatement & restoration after more than 48 hours
Night of the Lepus!
-4.25 for me, my brother in myopia
Adding 30 pounds of gelatin would make them say "jello!"
My mom told me I'd have to learn to wear heels, panty hose, and skirts/dresses in my professional career when I was a teen. "You can't wear jeans to work!" was her constant refrain. Fast forward 30 years, & I wear jeans to work as a leading juvenile recidivism researcher. I still won't wear heels
It's better to look good than to...wait a minute...(hope you feel better soon. Pink isn't my color, which is unfortunate, because I am so pasty white that I always turn pink in the heat...or cold...or when embarrassed, or stressed. Thankfully I mix it up with a grotesque blotchy tone when upset).
Gods bless the Scots
Pure chaos goblin. That kind of personality isn't a bug, it;s a fucking feature. These types *thrive* on disrupting or destroying any peace that people they envy might have. You're doing everything right, and taking the high road. So sorry she's serving up shit sandwiches to everyone in her orbit
