We got ours a couple weeks ago, once I saw that our county was orange in this heat map 💀 I highly recommend getting one if possible.

It’s finally feeling like real spring here! Joy and hope and blossoms in my garden 😊

I’m so envious of the felines in my feed, and grateful to their humans for sharing cat pics to offer momentary respite from the horrors. Cat tax: Finn is gloriously unburdened by intellect

a mostly white cat, with orange on his head, ears and chin, dozes blissfully on his side on a crocheted blue blanket. His nose and ears are very pink.

“Wind in the Willows”, 1908, and “Swallows and Amazons” 1930

First edition (1930) dust jacket image of “Swallows and Amazons” by Arthur Ransome. This is a book set in the Lake District of England, about children who go adventuring on their own, messing about in boats, that I read over and over as a child

Image of the book “Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1908, a children’s book featuring Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad. I read this so often as a child, it was one of my comfort books

Meet George, a suitable name for an English car (a Mini Cooper Countryman)

this seems… not good, Aldi 💀 *sigh*

a bag of shredded Swiss-Gruyère cheese recently purchased at Aldi (who apparently do not have a presence here?) with a “best by” date of Nov 20, 2025 clearly printed on the front, has inflated until the whole package is taut like a Mylar balloon… guess I won’t be using this cheese tonight 😢

a side view of the same bag of cheese, just to emphasize its physique. I’ll note it has been stored appropriately since purchase 🙁

Awww Johnny reminds me of my Scout, who was 15 when we had to say goodbye - please rub those magnificent ears and tell him I said hi 🥰

my rescue cat is settling in, curious and gaining confidence, and his willingness to accept gentle pets gives me hope 😊

a small ginger point ragdoll mix cat sits on a grey blanket, gazing calmly up at the camera with beautiful pale blue eyes. A pink blanket is behind him, and the sunlight from the right side of the scene gives him an unintentional soft bokeh effect

Illinois is pretty proud of JB Pritzker

The Governor of Illinois fired back after Elon Musk personally insulted him on social media Wednesday.

“Nothing is more dangerous than getting between JB Pritzker and the buffet table!” Elon Musk wrote from his personal account on the X platform that he owns. X is formerly known as Twitter.

Gov. JB Pritzker responded to the message by posting an image of himself purchasing a hot dog at a famous Chicago hot dog stand – the Wieners Circle. “I salute @The WienerCircle, not Nazis.”, he wrote.

Herd immunity requires 95% vaccinated - it’s one of the most contagious diseases. You can catch it by walking into a room where an infected person sneezed two hours ago.

From CDC website: “How it spreads
Measles is one of the most contagious of all infectious diseases. Up to 9 out of 10 susceptible people with close contact to a measles patient will develop measles.

The virus is transmitted by:

Direct contact with infectious droplets.
Airborne spread when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.
Measles virus can remain infectious in the air for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves an area.”

I agree! I was just browsing for a birthday gift for my daughter and look at this very elegant moka pot!

Picture is a screenshot of a silver Bialetti “Moon” moka pot made of stainless steel with a smoothly shaped cylindrical pot reminiscent of an old fashioned percolator. The base is also smoothly rounded, with none of the sharp angles of a typical moka pot. The asymmetric black plastic knob on top angles to a peak above the black plastic handle, suggesting less chance of burning one’s fingers against the metal.

our baby also sleeps on his face 😻

a white and orange cat is curled up on a box with his paws all tucked in, his orange tail curling around him. His head is upside down, one ear splayed out toward the camera, his face buried in his paws. he is baby

also baby 😻

a small fluffy flame-point (cream colored with ginger face, ears and paws) ragdoll mix cat lies on a light colored tile floor calmly gazing into the camera with light blue eyes. He seems relaxed but interested in what we will do next. The vet thinks he’s about 5 years old but he’s so baby

We’re celebrating our new friend’s first #Caturday with us 😻 a month after arriving at the shelter scruffy and flea-ridden. Welcome to your forever home, little buddy.

a pale ginger flame-point cat lies on his right side curled like a croissant on pink sheets. He is sound asleep, face against a comforter so only his smile can be seen. His belly has an area of unevenly clipped fur where mats had to be removed, he’s still a little scruffy but clean and soft

Close up of a pale ginger flame-point cat lying on his left side on a similarly colored shelf, his blue eyes are alert but not fully open as he looks calmly at the camera. His white whiskers are so long they extend down past the shelf he’s on

Close up of the same cat now snuggling up on the shoulder of a person wearing a grey t-shirt, who can’t be seen otherwise. The cat is relaxed, looking towards the person’s face, his right paw drooping down, his left paw extending up resting on the shirt collar

We brought home a new friend today 😻

A fluffy medium-haired pale ginger flame-point cat lies on his back on light carpet, looking up and to the right of the camera, one fluffy front paw raised above his belly. His blue eyes are dilated in the dim light, he is alert and curious but relaxed, his nose and ear tips are very pink and his white whiskers are long for a smallish cat. He seems content with his new home.

same my friend

a mostly white cat with orange tail and ears is curled up on a fuzzy grey blanket with his face and paws buried into the blanket. He does not want to see the news or frankly anything right now, he wants to sleep peacefully
