Oh yeah
A cat with a gray mask and back, white lower face, belly, and paws, and a pink nose lays on its side and sunbathes with closed eyes. The cat’s front paws are closest to the camera. It’s laying on ugly carpet, the wall and trim are painted dull white and dirty with age, and there’s a small HVAC register in the left side of the shot.

Like this guy. His second sentence means that he recognizes that collieyby wasn’t talking about him, but he feels attacked and wants to complain anyway.
A screenshot that reads “This is also really stupid to read as someone in Massachusetts where some of our more “rural” communities, especially in Western Massachusetts, are quite progressive places.

(I use rural in scare quotes because I know that Massachusetts rural ain’t like rural in other parts of the country)”

Wooden hang boards can look nicer than their polymer counterparts
A wooden hardboard called “The Hangboard”. It’s a light brown, of oak, with a natural finish so that the grain is visible. There are various ledges and pockets cut into the board to train finger strength with.

Oh, I’m sorry, it seems Greta hasn’t said that she personally was sexually assaulted, only that the IDF and prison guards did it to her friends and colleagues. You can probably see why the distinction didn’t matter much to me. Do Israelis know that Palestinians are human? That’s my issue with them.

Even our state senators/reps, who are reported in the local news as “Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet” represent districts across multiple counties/cities. Here’s the Illinois State Senate‘s 51st district. Mahomet (where Rose lives) is near the top left corner.

:( they chudded out a cute bobcat!
A yellow, small, front-end loading powered machine with a small closed cab, viewed from 50 feet away. It's commonly called a bobcat, for the same reason as Kleenex and Band-aid are names for entire product categories. This one is an SDLG L902H with a Kubota engine. 

There's someone at the controls, dumping light brown dirt into a pile from the bobcat's bucket, which is only about 4 feet wide. There's a concrete wall in the mid-ground and trees and nondescript sky behind that.

Zanie says hi
A grey and white cat with a grey mask, white lower face and chest, a light colored nose, and a smudge of grey on her lower jaw, she’s laying on the edge of a soft white and green blanket on a grey couch. The cat’s name is Zanie and she is purring.
