I want to take this Caturday to say that rabies cases have increased lately. Please vaccinate your pets. You may think that your cats won’t get out, but crazier things have happened than a bat getting into your house. I’m not saying there is a huge chance of contracting it, but please vaccinate!

Black Americans are being found hanging in 2026. For generations, Black people were lynched while institutions stood by and did nothing. We cannot repeat that history. I’m demanding a full investigation from the DOJ.

I just have the quiet rage-filled need to say right now that there is no such thing as an AI artist. You are not an artist because you used a prompt to churn out generated pictures from a machine that steals from the livelihood of your people who work multiple jobs and use their spare time to paint.

On this Caturday night, Kermit wanted me to remind everyone to vote in the midterms! You can request your mail-in ballot in many places already. I requested mine! Or go to the polls! 💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊😺

I used to say that eating pie and cake for breakfast was the best thing about being an adult, but I was wrong—there’s actually nothing good about being an adult.

Juneteenth is an opportunity to celebrate freedom, recognize the history and contributions of Black Americans, and stand firmly in building a more just and equitable society. We’re proud to hold it as an official state holiday and a long overdue celebration of independence.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

I keep trying to find words for how heartbreakingly sad it is than an innocent man - who died trying to protect a woman - was publicly murdered in the same month another woman was publicly murdered by agents sent by the government, who are also kidnapping children.

Kevin, a stray I feed, got super sick lately. Took him to the emergency vet, and after making preparations to adopt him, I found out he has FIV. He got meds, but it’s hard not think of the life he could’ve had as an indoor cat. I hope to one day find him a happy home. ❤️‍🩹

It’s my roommate’s birthday, so I made a pie that I’m going to eat by myself in front of him. I learned how to stabilize whipped cream and use a piping bag for it. It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever baked - which isn’t saying much - but I wanted to preserve it here for posterity.

It’s been five years since Kermit showed up two days before a tropical depression hit and decided not to be a stray anymore. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. We survived a pandemic, a Category 4 hurricane, two tornado warnings, 12+ vet visits, and more. Here’s to many more years. ❤️🐱

I just saw an ad to report schools who still practiced DE&I. How did Americans become so fucking fragile that the idea of giving someone other than straight white men a shot is bad? Why is this idea of tolerance so taboo? What the absolute fuck. Every day, it’s like a test to not become enraged.
