20 years ago I asked CAT not to put up ugly, scary or green faced witches or “evil” #BlackCats for #Halloween. They’ve honored that request so I donated cute, fantasy images instead, including happy black cats, and lovely, animal friendly witches. This combats some very harmful superstitions. #cats

Lunchtime Hachiko food delivery to the dogs of Izium in eastern Ukraine. 🐕 Although Izium was liberated in 2022, it’s very dangerous once again with regular Russian bombing. Look at the building these dogs are living in. 💔

people talk about Main Character Syndrome but what about Breakout Secondary Character Syndrome, what if I just wanna be a recurrent cameo in other people's lives basically, but also steal all the scenes like a Reverend Jim in TAXI, but just keep me tangential to any actual plot please?

Gary Larson cartoon. A woman is in her living room, talking on the phone.

"Hello, Emily. This is Gladys Murphy up the street. Fine, thanks. ... Say, Emily, could you go to your window and describe what's in my front yard?"

Her back is turned to the front window where you can see a giant eye looking in.
