We came home from vacation and he was longer than the fridge is wide.
View from above of Stack, a black and white maine coon tuxedo kitten, sprawled across a gray tile floor in front of a white refrigerator. His tail is extremely bushy and he is as long as the fridge is wide.

The Morning Monty basks.
Fluffy gray tabby on an oval cat perch beside a sunny window; he’s looking up and back, so mostly you see the underside of his chin and his marvelous whisker array - all bathed in light.

The Morning Monty takes his sunny windows while he can get them.
Fluffy gray tabby lounging on the back of a couch with the blinds brought down a bit - so he can toast himself, but I’m not blinded as I try to watch tv.

I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Preseason and the Stars are already being a disgrace to the game by taking cheap shots and whining to the zebras. They don't deserve the name or the logo.

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

It's going to be very weird having lived through basically the entire extinction of return policies because the social fabric frayed out from under it. I can't wait for my first out-of-touch old person moment where I tell a zoomer to return something and they have to correct me.

Never before has a turtle turtled this hard. Zoom in and appreciate The Foot
A fantastic painted turtle stands on a snag in a stream. Turtle has a smooth black carapace with bright red edges. Its neck and legs are a glorious riot of yellow racing stripes. It has its neck fully extended staring at the sky and the back right leg and foot are completely extended. This is an epic pose by a creature at the peak of its powers.

I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

Sometimes when I'm getting homesick I'll watch Nate the Hoof Guy videos because the accent scratches the itch and it reminds me how dirty farm work really is and how lucky I am not to have chores.
