Hey if you’re in NYC come out with us next weekend. You don’t have to make a sign, you don’t have to stay the whole time if you can’t. Even showing up for half an hour matters.

I blocked off her access to the countertop she isn’t allowed on so now she has to actually ask for what she wants (attention). Alas she does this by sticking her claws into my leg until I pick her up. She’s learning to be a lap cat but I guess we got a ways to go #cat #catsofbluesky

Much commentary from this one today. Not sure what’s up, though possibly the usual “I have not been the center of attention and that’s terrible” #cat #catsofbluesky

This one decided to silently investigate my bare toes with her whiskers before laying on my foot. Thanks for freaking me out in the middle of a meeting! #cat #catsofbluesky #notaspider

Torn between feeling like as a responsible adult I should know what’s going on in the world and my deep desire to curl up for the winter and ignore the whole world. Oh to be a little #cat asleep with her tongue out. #catsofbluesky #blep

Call script:
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. 

YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]

Do not commit the sin of empathy! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the throne of Khorne! This has always been where white American evangelicalism was going.

“The arc or the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But it only bends at all if we lean on it. A better, more just world is possible, but we must do the work to create it.

“dealing with the person they knew and this other person they didn’t, but they’re actually the same person and now they have to integrate all of it into their understanding.” Yeah. Gaiman’s work meant a lot to a lot of us and this is hard.

In a tragic blow to Lily’s sacred feline dignity, the little birds have figured out that she cannot get them through the glass. This one’s just sitting here having brunch while she stares at it.

According to The Lancet, America’s for profit exploitative healthcare system causes 68,000 preventable deaths annually. That means since an assailant killed the @UHC CEO, America’s health insurance corps have killed ~400 Americans who should be alive today. 1 person every 7.5 minutes—perpetually.
