Meet the happiest cat on Earth: this fella lives at local Kyiv market. This is Sunday, people are coming, selling and buyin, and nobody wakes him up. ‘That’s our local market cat’ they say proudly.

Haha!! If you ever need a pick me up, you might want to check out @davekrantz, if you have not already. He does cats very well (and sundry hobbies), and words very well, which your musicians’ soul may fancy.

Watching the Ukrainian refugees flee their homes, it was noticeable how virtually every pet was carried with them. I'll never forget them for that. It's the mark of a civilised society.

And those who could bring their pets set them free, hopefully many got rescued by the many organizations looking out for them.

I remember the tanks rolling into Prague in '68 and the students of Charles University begging for help on shortwave radio. I remember Jan Palach's heroic act of sacrifice. At least this time, in the face of a monster, the world is trying to do something. Slava Ukraini!

Never disturb the precious baby's beauty sleep. Cherish from afar and give love and affection when it is sought out by the precious bean. It's genuinely heartwarming to see things like this from a country in such a situation as Ukraine, especially when here in the States, shits getting more fucked

Alt text: a shorthaired white cat with a black "saddle" marking on the back and black "cap" on ear. The cat is stretched out on his side, completely relaxed, over various items on a table, and is napping hard. His hind legs are sticking out over the edge of the table for important cat reasons.
