The first two kittens went to their forever home today! We had a little costume party to celebrate. Bon voyage Rizzo and Inspector Gadget! (Their foster names; new names TBD.)

A black kitten wearing a bumblebee costume and a gray kitten wearing a green caterpillar costume are both sitting in a black leather chair looking up at the camera.

I recently got back from visiting the Seattle area and had a wonderful time! And we were lucky enough that the weather was deceptively sunny most of the time!

I’m visiting my family and we went to the piratey Broken Compass Tiki Bar. I love all the decor details, from a kraken trying to get in through the air vents, jellyfish everywhere, skeletons galore (including mermaid skeletons), and spam containers strung up by twinkling lights!

Waking up because my cat Gadget jumped off my chest at full throttle due to spotting a spider on a wall was certainly an experience. Much to Gadget’s disappointment, I caught and released the spider outside. Now she’s Blair Witching the corner where it used to be.

I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

Sometimes your feed lines up perfectly

A screenshot of my feed. In the top post, Shiv Ramdas wrote, “everyone's worried about how frogs are disappearing and if only we'd been been nicer to that girl from the fairy tale who spat them out every time she spoke she could have fixed this”
The next unrelated post is by Micro SF/F by O. Westin. It states, “When I speak, toads fall from my mouth.
There was a fairy dressed as some kind of fucking royalty. I got cursed for insufficient deference.
As far as I can tell, my toads are not any of the 500-ish known species.
If you have a degree in biology and want to cowrite a paper on new toads, hit me up.”

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.
