have you seen the somerville massachusetts community bike path cat campaign signs? no? enjoy a selection:

Photo of a teal campaign sign for a screaming black kitten that says “Zevran for bike path comptroller: he definitely knows what money is and you can totally trust him with it.”

Photo of a white campaign sign with a fat brown tabby cat belly-up that says: “Wasil for Attorney General:
- Abolish BMI
- Release the Epstein List
- Just be a silly goose (if that’s cool)”

Photo of a red white and blue campaign sign for an orange cat in a bow tie with smaller photos of him yawning and laying around. It reads “D is for world domination: vote “Dom” for true leadership in the pursuit of snacks; bike path supreme chancellor”

Photo of a white campaign sign for a long haired tuxedo cat with an Uncle Sam hat on that says “MELA” in blue handwriting and “im afraid” in a comic sans-esque font

not to be mean but we did this post like 15 years ago

a very old tumblr post that says “Wicked is a musical based on a book based on a musical based on a movie based on a book.” the responses include a meme of a low-quality elphaba pic and bold upper text that says “deal with it,” “THE WORLD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL FANFICTION,” “BASICALLY,” and “Wait until they make a movie version of Wicked”

I genuinely think this is one of the best photos I’ve ever taken (June, 2023)

A photo of the Pantheon ceiling in Rome. Through the top of the dome, the sky is bright blue and a circle of sun shines onto the wall, illuminating a bird flying in its path.

every day I wake up and am grateful that these drugs didn’t exist when I was a kid, since I would have 100% been put on them. this devastated me. she deserves real mental healthcare and we need fat liberation now.

Beautiful walk along the connecticut river today

Sorry about the bsky hiatus I moved and started a new job but I enjoyed some crisp air and crispy moss today

Photo of a landscape: bare trees (+ some evergreens) line the banks of a small river. The sky is bright blue with some clouds and the light glistens off the surface of the water.

Closeup photo of brown-ish green moss that would be lush in the spring but is now slightly desiccated growing on a log. The river sparkles in the background.
