He is not one of nature's greatest warriors (I spent 2h saving this mouse from our other cat but this was too funny)

Black cat sitting upright looking out to the distance. Just under his nose, half buried in dried our grass is a little wild mouse.

Beautiful black cat looking at camera while lying stretched out on a red hoodie with a sleeping cat pic on it and words “motivation, it’s not for everyone”

Proof of cats (tortie is Rubicon aka Ruby, ginger is.. neighbourhood cat who used to cry outside the window for Ozzy to come hang out with him)

Messy paved garden with weeds coming up from paving stones. A small tortoiseshell cat is lying in the sun. About a foot away a much bigger ginger and white cat is sniffing a weed. Everything looks quite peaceful.

Amazing response to reports of wild boards outside the French Embassy in Poland

French Embassy in Poland posted a picture of cartoon characters Asterix and Obelix carrying boars they've hunted in reply to a photo of wild boards spotted outside the Embassy.

Wake Up Dead Man was great. Frankenstein exhibit was way more impressive than I expected.

It's a signed copy of Frankenstein made out to Lord Byron

RIP Brian Patten. He wrote one of my fave poems.

A Blade of Grass

You ask for a poem.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You say it is not good enough.
You ask for a poem.

I say this blade of grass will do.
It has dressed itself in frost,
It is more immediate
Than any image of my making.

You say it is not a poem,
It is a blade of grass and grass
Is not quite good enough.
I offer you a blade of grass.

You are indignant.
You say it is too easy to offer grass.
It is absurd.
Anyone can offer a blade of grass.

You ask for a poem.
And so I write you a tragedy about
How a blade of grass
Becomes more and more difficult to offer,

And about how as you grow older
A blade of grass
Becomes more difficult to accept.

Haha, someone asked for a pic of the cat I'm catsitting and I clearly failed to make this a reply! Cat, for evidence

Fluffy tabby and white cat curled up at top of stairs, giving camera a side eye

Size difference. And messy garden

Messy garden paving stones (there's a lot of weeds between them. At top of pic is a small tortoiseshell cat,sitting in loaf formation to look even smaller. At the bottom of the pic is a bigger black cat, stretched out (but not at full stretch, tail curled around back legs).

Yes! That happened with Diesel a LOT at first, esp cos it was a front leg, and he never really managed to cover his stuff as well, but our other cat used to come up and cover it for him! Btw, this was the "please treats, pose"

Rebecca @arbitrarygenius.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

here is one of Diesel getting REAL flat because of missing leg:

My fave pic of ours (Diesel) when he spotted our friends' degus. I believe was used by animal cancer trust in a banner.

This will be (some) mainstream reporting... for a while. And it fucking sucks.

Sky News headline reads "Rachel Reeves is about to make huge spending decisions - we asked AI to do the job for her"

This is not our cat (but Ruby yelled at Ozzy out of confusion) - it's hiding under a bed atm

I finally get to say this, but this is not one of our cats

I know you've all missed the BROMANCE of the decade. Ozzy is reunited with his BFF, the ginger from two doors down. Ruby sits on the high ground to hang out in the sun.

two quite brown-grassed gardens connected by a wall and a lower fence. On the fence a black cat in loaf position, facing a ginger a white cat in same position. On the higher wall, a tortoiseshell cat in loaf position.

History of science museum, Oxford. Original penicillin strain, Einstein's blackboard. Also went to Omens exhibit and saw Magna Carta at the Bodleian but I'm shit at alt text.

A display case with text explaining some of the history of penicillin. On one side there's a glass with what looks like solid foam in it and the text explains this contains some of the original penicillin strain.

Part of a blackboard with a complicated equation on. A museum display board underneath explains this is the blackboard Einstein used when giving a speech at Oxford. Which they kept, with his equation on.

What we did today. This is me and Emi.

Fattish woman in beige leggings and a black t-shirt and red socks, glasses and short black hair, smiling obviously delighted while holding a 7 month other female Shiba Inu baby style. Dog looks pretty damn happy.

Mt Fuji from plane, ropeway, ground level and from outside our ryokan. Very lucky with weather.

Mt Fuji from plane, iconic mountain, covered in snow on top and down right side through a slightly white haze.

Mt Fuji from ropeway in Hakone. 5x zoom. Snow topped iconic mountain in distance, with green/brown countryside in foreground. Very clear blue sky, slight reflection from gondola window.

Mt Fuji from a ground level observation spot. In the foreground is a dark hill. Fuji is in the distance, near-white and barely visible as sky also quite white. Later afternoon.

Mt Fuji as a clear dark shape in the background against a white mostly clear sky, some clouds. Foreground has hedge across the shot. Between foreground and Fuji is another rolling hill, covered in trees so quite dark.

I suck at descriptions. But this is tallest waterfall in Japan. Quite the train ride to get there. Very worth it. Many shrines and temples around on a pilgrimage path in area. I only fell twice.

Another random Nara pic because we went off on a big tangent and ended up in this spot

A few deer among cherry blossom trees just starting to flower so pretty sparse.

Went to visit the stationmaster

Slightly fluffy Calico cat curled up on a bed behind a window which has a cartoon cat on it, declaring this to be stationmaster Nitama. There's a timetable of work hours underneath and a small clock with a cartoon cat on it on the wall next to the window.

Good first pm/night. Did the Narita shopping, paused for headache pills. Wandered Tokyo's parks a bit. Now on Haneda overnight before flight to Hiroshima.

An early-blossoming cherry tree by night. Covered on light pink flowers.

Display at Pokémon store at Narita airport. Some large model Pokémon and some smaller plush ones on a display.

What Ozzy has been getting up to. Apologies for the delay.

Wise looking black cat with a touch of white under his chin sitting in a square box lid which says "Flamecraft" and is clearly from a board game. A TV is behind and in the background.

Idiotic black cat with a touch of white under his chin is sprawled across a neoprene rectangular board game mat. Cards and counters for the game Flamecraft can be seen around the mat, which is ok a wooden coffee table.

This is HUGE news. 5 months after we adopted her, Ruby is trying being on sofa next to a human (me!!). Considering she normally stays close to Zoe, neither of us can really believe what's happened. She's been here around 45 mins now. Will probably never happen again.
