My girl cat right now.
I really need to pee… but the little snores… how could I be responsible for ending the little snores?

Let’s make it 2009 again on here. It’s gonna be so easy to do if we don’t take the bait and ignore the flamethrowers. Some US/UK politics. Some Manchester United. Some mid century pop culture. Possibly a pinch more than some Doctor Who. Plenty of cats.

“Dear Bitching Minorities:
Here's my proposal for your reparations:
One-way tickets anywhere.
6 months of living expenses.
Renounce your U.S. citizenship.
Never come back.
Good luck.
You'll need it.
(Especially with that nappy-ass head of hair.)”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jowtqunytqhjqeeennavfxjo/bafkreiauz7egv6h3i6rur6okstzmimcsse7nau2divvezvwysyr5o6lf34)
![(Description from The Morgan Museum & Library): Made by a child in 1698, this rare lift-the-flap book invites readers to participate in its poetry. A printed version, or perhaps another handcrafted copy, likely served as its model, yet few examples of either survive today.
The four sets of pictures are arranged side-by-side, transforming as the flaps are lowered and raised. Adam turns into Eve who becomes a mermaid. A rampant lion turns into a griffin, which becomes a baby-snatching eagle. The infant, who escapes and becomes a miser, mutates into an inverted heart, which then becomes a money bag. And finally, the rich man, once old and ill, withers to a skeleton.
The opening stanza commands readers: “Lift up and see the bride.” From there, the story–literally–unfolds as they choose. See it in "Come Together: 3,000 Years of Stories and Storytelling."
