The black one, yes. The others are photos I’ve found online. I realised that for someone who loves cats do much, I’m actually not great at drawing them. (Hence the practice.)

Thanks! I’ve got a couple more up my sleeve.

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence

Does he like water or just scaring you in the tub? When I can’t find mine, she’s usually in the shower waiting for me to turn it on.

Love finding out every six months that there’s a new Ty Segall record out. And it’s always, always a good one.

It’s true! Before that, to me Oregon just meant Portland. So there you go!

Fwiw your photos made me put Oregon on my “holiday someday” list.

But I really think the key thing here is men would rather empathize w the most scum-of-the-earth sexual predator than actually view women as human beings like themselves that they could empathize with, and women largely can’t admit how bad it is because how do you function, so they gotta excuse them

Ok, that’s a different thing entirely. I had a client (luxury brand guy, super serious) whose cat suddenly popped up and did that typical cat thing of sticking his bum right in front of his owner’s nose. Hard to keep a straight face. I believe that cat totally knew what it was doing, and yours too

Nooo how can you say that? It’s adorable! She’s very hyper so we bonded by playing, I’m very surprised she’s starting to be cuddly. I’ve been sick for the past week and yesterday she slept on my stomach while I was watching bad tv on the sofa. Heaven!

It took her about five years to understand that being on my lap was nice, and now it’s a daily thing.

It would be lovely if men stopped trying to distance themselves from rapists by pretending they are “not men like me”. They absolutely are. They’re your best mate, your coworker, your brother, your dad… Being in denial does not help.

Another addition to the “Are the straights ok?” Universe. (Also I low-key wanna write one of those books - if it ever works I’ll send you guys a big fat check for your coaching services.)

Extremely specific because it was that one detail only, but the phone in Téléchat creeped me out a lot more than it should’ve

I recently heard an author say she couldn’t wait for her abusive mother to die in order to start living. It really hit the nail on the head.

So funny that the dream job of nerds who like to doodle requires you to be athletic so you don’t live with chronic pain.

Seems a tad excessive, like you could hop on the Eurostar and have it cost less without insurance in Paris, hotel included (I do not run a Beef-style traveling scam for dental work, I swear).

Haha no, that’s just my native language (and going to the zoo after finding out it’s free when you’re on welfare, which really cheered me up)

Experienced the one situation in which being called "ma belle" ("my pretty") doesn't make me want to punch the person who uttered these words in the throat: Buying cheese at the corner shop after my day job at 9pm, and the person in question is a 60-y-o woman with pure auntie vibes, 0% creepy.

That’s French slang for “alcoholic”. Elevated indeed.

You’re welcome! I saw them at the Paris zoo a couple of weeks ago and lost my mind seeing the babies run around. They were surprisingly fast.
