Loaf
A small but round orange cat sitting with her legs tucked under her, in loaf mode, on a vibrant red shag rug. She has green eyes that are open and looking into the camera. one of her ears is tipped from her former life as a colony cat. Her sleek tail is sticking straight out behind her, along the rug. Her body language is relaxed. She is a good cat.

Between the fires and cartel activity in PV and the blizzard in Provincetown, I’m worried for the safety of a lot of middle-aged drag queens. Thoughts and prayers to the gays.

The recent cool factor and aesthetic appeal associated with sardines and hot dogs is a recession indicator. I’ve heard the idea that it’s the current counterpart to 2010’s moustache and bacon obsession, but it’s so clearly emblematic of struggle meals in a way that 🥸🥓 imagery wasn’t.

Although it was borderline traumatizing, I’m glad that I had the experience of being detained and bullied by US Customs and Border Protection back in 2013. I’m sure it was merely a taste of what is happening now, but it’s a sour enough taste that I have no desire to try to visit the USA. Be safe

The White House is saying Canada misunderstood the tariffs as a trade war & it feels eerily similar to when men hit on women relentlessly- then act like they didn't mean it when women do not reciprocate. Huge "It was just a joke, it's not that serious" vibes. Canada did not misunderstand anything.

Don't for one second believe that age brings wisdom. If you're not learning, self-assessing, thinking, questioning, examining your choices & their consequences, & changing as a result, then all age brings is more of the same. I've met some 25-yr-olds who are wiser than some 50-yr-olds. DO THE WORK.

A few years ago in a freak wind storm/derecho a giant tree limb fell on my triplex while I was in it. It was a lot less devastating of a situation than you might think, but still I have developed a significant level of anxiety in wind storms. I find myself completely unable to focus this afternoon

“You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism.” This took me a long time to learn, but it’s a critical lesson. If you want to stay in the fight long-term, find a balance between action and self-compassion.

One of the best things about having a fluffy cat is seeing his adorable bedhead after his frequent naps
A handsome, fluffy orange cat is curled up sleeping on a messy bed with green sheets and green, tan, and grey blankets. The wall behind it is green and there is a wooden headboard with spindles. Sneakily tucked in to the blankets in the background is a black cat with only the top half of her head and pointy ears visible.
