We’ve gotten Nigel in bandanas and a coworker gave me this cap to try on Nigel. He was not sure at first, but eventually got used to it. We didn’t leave it on for long. We gave him treats after to reinforce this is fun! #Caturday
Close up on a tabby kitten wearing a cap with bunny ears. I guess it’s supposed to make your cat look like a labubu? Anyway, he’s on a blue fleecy thing from IKEA called a Bastis. He is uncertain whether he likes this hat or notA little father away from the first pic, you can see more of the tabby cat and the fact that he is not freaking out about this cap on his head

Our cat Nigel somehow got the bell off his collar overnight. We put it back on him this morning, and yet, he still managed to stealthily appear in the bathroom somehow

I was having drinks with a veteran TV producer I worked with in the early 00s, he told me tabout how, at a previous gig in LA, he and a KTLA news anchor drove up the PCH in his two-seat convertible "smoking grass" and blasting the Avalon cassette, right after release. I want to recreate it so bad

Got called into work and saved their asses by being able to make it in time. I need the OT since I’ll be down to just two days a week in a couple of weeks, but I did want to let them stew in their own juices

At least I don’t have to watch that Lightning game. I saw a fantastic musical instead. I’d tell you to head to Orlando and see it, but it’s almost sold out

Queer artists like David Wojnarowicz and Martin Wong have received posthumous canonizations. Next in line for the anointing? Arch Connelly. @jeremylybarger.bsky.social travels to Aspen (of all places) for a major show of the East Village artist’s alchemical work.

Arch Connelly’s work was a flashbang: vulgar and excessive to the point of camp.

Seeing concerts at House of Blues Orlando at Disney Springs is sooooo funny. You can clearly tell who is a tourist and who’s a local slutty queer.

There are a lot of parents focused on getting gentleness *for* their sons, but not expecting their sons to show gentleness to anyone else. And that’s just male entitlement in liberal window dressing.

Under Donald Trump and Kash Patel, FBI agents are far more likely to have their personal data stolen and posted on the internet. But they're now allowed to have sex with farm animals. The administration's defenders say it's net neutral.

There was “The Cum Man” who put pics of his (decidedly mid) cock on while receiving praise for being open minded. He reveled in women and men talking about him, but was freaked out when I said I wouldn’t mind trying his cum. Posted without tagging him but still found it

In their opening song the Warner Siblings state they have “Pay of Play Contracts.” However they are all canonically below the age of majority, meaning those contracts are open to disaffirmation at any time by the siblings unless approved by the California Superior Court. In this paper I will…

Gonzo’s most distinct feature is also his most baffling: his beak. (Or is it a nose?)

It really is something for this exemplar of white mediocrity, a weak intellect gifted his sinecure specifically to massage the tender egos of white conservatives, whingeing about authors who are his clear betters, as if any respect or honor they earn could only be the result of an undeserved gift.
