I have been trying to paint with water colors and ink for forever, and failing miserably . This is probably the first time I have felt that it’s kind of good and closer to what I have in my mind. So, here it is. 😌🤗

This! After losing two old cats and having just a 20 yo left I was really heartbroken. I said to the 20yo, “I can’t do this again…you are my last pet”. Fast forward a month later and my ex found a kitten in the highway. You can figure out the rest. It healed my heart and now I have two 2yos.

She the best girl! ❤️🥰(Not up for debate. Even when she’s clawing my couch corner….my original statement stands! 😏)

Every cat needs his own cat! 🤗😅 The yin/yang twins. I got the black cat for the other one when he was just a few months old b/c he kept trying to play with the 20yo cat who really was in no shape for shenanigans.

Hey, here’s a picture I painted of a similar photo of a swan that I got from “Unsplash”. 🤗

A painting, oil pastels,
of a swan swimming and a black cat who apparently, appreciates fine art (is sniffing the painting).

Painting…it’s not going well, but it’s way more fun…🤗 (Goingto have to let the oil dry out for a bit before the next layer, so maybe I’ll go wash my hair!)

I would argue that the great apes are more civilized. (I do have 2nd hand knowledge from my bestie who has worked with Gorillas for over two decades and is at a sanctuary in Cameroon as of this post.) This is a painting I did of her about 12 yrs ago and was from a photograph of her in the forest.

Acrylic painting of a woman in a forest with a baby chimp on her lap. The chimp is looking up at her and she, down at him. The chimp reaches for her ear. Made by me.

He was not in a ship. He somehow got stationed on a base as an administrator. Maybe too green for the sea? He didn’t even know how to swim when he joined and actually drowned when they made him qualify. 🤗🥰 (This is the only one I have on my phone…still Air Force at the time and too 😎) 😅

I don’t think I have e enough chairs though:

Also black cats are extra and ridiculously sweet. This was mine who passed away many years ago. I have another now, but this one was my girl!

Describe your cat's personality with one photo

A white and black spotted cat is laying upside down with his head upside down between two chairs and looking at me! His back paw is sticking through the chair slats. He’s a lunatic, but also a very sweet boi. 🥰

So glad they got another one. My heart was broken having to put down two of my old cats and waiting for the last one to go. I declared to the eldest cat that he was the last for me. One day my ex found a kitten on the freeway and I took him and so happy I did. ❤️ Then got him his own kitten! 🤗

This is where it all went wrong, way before Johnson:

Hayes won the Republican nomination in the 1876 United States presidential election. In the disputed 3114 general election, he defeated Democratic nominee Samuel J. Tilden while losing the popular vote. Neither candidate initially secured enough electoral votes to win, but Hayes prevailed after a Congressional Commission awarded him 20 contested
electoral votes in the Compromise of 1877.
The electoral dispute was resolved in an agreement between Southern Democrats and Whiggish Republican businessmen whereby Hayes would be president but end both federal support for Reconstruction and the military
occupation of the former Confederacy. 151

I love my cats! That’s it! That’s the post. This boy is a lunatic:

She ignores that all of the students and all of the hires are in fact qualified. DEI makes sure they got an interview instead of being passed over by a wht dude w/the same or lesser qualifications just b/c he’s wht. Does she even know her own history (as a minority woman) of this country?

outcome of all of this?

Mailman: Yeah, I do think that as universities decide that they don't want a merit-seeking mission, that's not attractive for parents, that's not attractive for students, and it's not attractive for the federal government. It's also not attractive for donors.
And they'll have to be more out loud about that. I think that's the goal: You can choose who you want to be. You want to make no changes? You want to commit yourself to victimhood? You want to oppose the idea of merit? Say it out loud, so that students, parents, donors and the government can know and that each can dedicate their resources to those universities that are making our country better.

LaMinx @laminx.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Wait until she finds out about legacy admissions! 🙄

Mailman: I think universities will return to a merit mission, and that'll be in
admissions, hiring and research, and that'll be with its relationship to the federal government, that the federal government will be funding institutions that can be perceived as excellent. And maybe they're not today excellent - maybe they're these institutions that are trying to be excellent
— but that the mission of universities will not be diversity. The mission of universities won't be equity, but they will be excellence, and that will be rewarded with a tighter, closer and better federal relationship.
That's with regard to the federal government.
I think policy's larger than that. Policy is:
What's its effect in the world, and how does it change our culture? And my hope is that the people who are graduating from our universities carry values that will uplift

My kittens are currently learning about Nazis, and the US racism post WW1 and a side of Venetian history (in case they ever find themselves living in Venice, ya never know). The ebook is too mature..they are only 1yr old.

Audio books: “City of Fortune”, Roger Crowley;”American Midnight”,Adam Hochshild”; “The coming of the third reich”, Richard J. Evans. One ebook:”Les vrilles de la vigne”, Colette.

The thing is, it was the state, county and local officials who failed and are now finger pointing b/c they know they screwed up:

indicated risk of 10" or more as early as Thursday morning. (NOAA SPC)
The HREF model on Thursday morning, a tool developed from NOAA research also indicated the risk of 10" or more in spots, using the "probability matched mean" product which can identify higher risk areas for heavy rainfall. I've used this in Houston many times, often with considerable forecast success ahead of flooding events.
It has a knack for cutting through some of these higher end events and highlighting those risks.
So the signals were there and got worse as Thursday progressed. Messaging and flood

Listening while I’m painting. Love you two and you nailed it. Republican voters are lying to us and to themselves. Ah well! Here’s a picture of my kitties for Caturday!

A picture of two cats on a blue and beige rug. One cat is black and sitting like a perfect replica of Bastet in all her glory. The other black and white cat is stretching and flexing to get her attention. One of their very dead toy birds is laying in its back nearby. There work is done here, the bird had been vanquished.

LaMinx @laminx.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

No. I made lamb shanks with vegetables yesterday and me and the kid actually sat and ate and talked. Usually we just scavenge. LOL. I’m kind of proud of it.

Good afternoon peeps (or morning or evening, depending on what arena of danger you live in at the moment). Here a recipe from “what the f*** should I make for dinner?” by Zach Golden. Buy the book or steal it from someone, up to you, but get your hands on one. Feel inspired! 🤗

When takeout leaves your soul feeling vacuous and estranged, make some fucking
Watermelon
Salad with Ricotta Salata
76
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
A fucking seedless watermelon
4 ounces ricotta
salata
Salt and pepper
5 ounces baby arugula
Watermelon and cheese sounds about as good as church without alcohol, but guess what? You're
wrong.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the balsamic vinegar and sugar to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer it until it's all fucking syrupy and delicious.
Cut your watermelon into cubes, and slice the ricotta
salata all thin-like. Plate the watermelon and cheese together, and season those motherfuckers. Drizzle with the reduced vinegar and top with some baby arugula, and boom-you're fucking done.
