My mother clipped and mounted a cartoon to physically mail it to me. Of course I must share that kind of effort. #meme #joke #cartoon

Parts of my LinkedIn have lit up again talking about Eh, the Canadian social network. I see no indication that it is part of any federation thinking so yet another closed off place that by definition will try and become a single closed destination. Canadian or not […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

My wife has always been convinced the cats understand more than they let on. Mere hours after telling Lily here that she would be staying she decided that my wife's chair (and knocking things off the desk) was now acceptable when they had been absolutely avoided for months. #cats #CatsOfMastodon

As one does, I did buy more socks at this time of year. Fascinated by these Tommy socks from Costco that have a slightly different weave on the section between shoes/pants so that they appear much more fancy than their true crew sock style. #socks #shoes #pants #fashion

A pair of gray Tommy Hilfiger socks from Costco. The focus is on the middle section at the front of the sock where the weave is different in a way that appears much more dress sock style as compared to the normal crew sock weave that makes up the rest of the sock.

Ep 18 "Felis catus" The house will be much quieter once the gang is gone but as always, Star Treks Data sums it up nicely. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ode_to… #caturday #CatsOfMastodon

An orange and white kitten looking at the camera from a high cat tower. On the right text from Star Trek, Data's ode to spot poem.

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
