Arthur passed out.
Arthur, a black and white 6 month-old kitten, passed out.  He's stretched out on his back in my lap.

Pets trust me very easily. Arthur is so comfortable that he's been sleeping on my for hours and didn't wake up for the treat bag or the treat against his nose. I may die here.

It's important to sleep in a comfortable position. Example:
Sleeping kitten arched with front legs over his head in what should not be a comfortable position.

Samwise is feeling a little insecure because of the new kitten, so I'm doing his favorite thing: hanging out in the basement with just him. He really likes Arthur, but he still worries.

Arthur is very cute, yes? And yet as he sleeps, I have to endure the smell of rotten eggs he's produced.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

I think the Internet has failed when I do things like look up if there's a parody of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" but it's Meep Meep and stars Beaker from the Muppets, but it doesn't exist. Does our civilization even matter when it fails like this?

It's kind of sad that number of people that responded to this that were angry that he'd work with other Democrats. As though he could somehow get things done without doing that. That's not how a legislature works.

Even if a candidate in a swing state or district has to dance around the issue to get elected, it's noy remotely a reason for the party as a whole to abandon trans rights. Parts of the county just need to be dragged into the 21st century.

Jennifer was wrong. It's a boy and not a girl. She just got a better look. So I guess he's Albino ('ee' as in bean)? Or something?

Matthew 🦖 @moosewithablanket.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
My wife says we're going to call her Albina, inspired by Albite, because it rolls off the tongue easier. Though I like Albina Albertosaurus Albite. So far no sign of an owner. No chip. No spay. She might have gotten abandoned.

I dislike McConnell as much as the next guy, but people are being pretty gross about his health. He's clearly still very weak, and maybe he'll never recover, but just because of that and him being in a wheel chair doesn't mean he has no desires or can't think.

Albite, the kitten we found wandering outside today, is at tuckered out. Contacted the apartment office to let them know so they can send out an email. She's very trusting and gentle so I can tell she has a good home somewhere.

@brandontbishop.bsky.social this kitten was running around outside. Going to try more to find the owner tomorrow, but we need an appropriate mineral name for her, if you could help.

I've been telling people to be realistic about McConnell because old people take a long time to recover from being seriously ill, and there was no reason to be lying about things. He's just vain about his health. Kept running into people who acted like I was naive. 🙄 Looks like I was right.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Asimov has cerebellar hypoplasia and is neurologically blind, so he needs a little help grooming. He enjoys groomy time and usually licks me about as much as he licks himself.

We use this assisi loop for Sebastian's chronic pain. I was very skeptical about it when the vet suggested it but it is maybe as effective as all of his other pain management together. EM + pain relief has usually meant woo nonsense. There are apparently studies that back it up though.

I think people need to remember the the MAHA leadership is s bunch of eugenics hacks, but the broad city support across the political spectrum is loosely collected groups without any firm ideology and about 2 years old.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. I’m glad Dr. Amy Acton is safe and grateful for the swift response from law enforcement. We settle our differences at the ballot box, not through violence. These acts must never be tolerated or normalized.

Star Trek lied to me!
^ Etymology
The English word derives from the French word saboter, meaning to "bungle, botch, wreck or sabotage"; it was originally used to refer to labour disputes, in which workers wearing wooden shoes called sabots interrupted production through different means. A popular but incorrect account of the origin of the term's present meaning is the story that poor workers in the Belgian city of Liège would throw a wooden sabot into the machines to disrupt
production.[1]
