Hey y’all! Sorry I’ve been absent so long, but current events have really driven me off most social media sites. But I had to share this with y’all… I was able to trap the neighborhood semi-feral, but not before she’d dropped these little guys at my door! 1/2

A beautiful morning to chill in a box on the deck.

To be loved is to be changed. Back when he was still a fat-faced feral, old Sadface here was first loved by his community feeder, Emerson. She rescued him and took him to the vet when he developed a blockage and stopped eating. She saved his life then, so he could enjoy the life he has now.

Being obsessed with cats doesn’t make you “crazy.” It makes you smart, compassionae, likely with an amazing sense of humor. Some say cat people are even better looking and more successful. See source of info in photo. 😉

While this is true, please bear in mind that this also applies both ways. If we destroy the constitution ourselves in the process of fighting fascism, then we have become the very thing we are trying to fight.

I’ve always said that my destiny in life is to be the guy version of the stereotypical “crazy cat lady” - single at age 50, vibing at home with my half-dozen indoor (and likely a lot more outdoor) cats, just living my life unconcerned about the thoughts of others.

That’s not quite my argument. My argument is that whether you ARE the yes-man or simply replaced by a yes-man, then end result is still the same. The agenda still gets pushed through. I’m not interested in assigning blame. I want to prevent what’s happening.

Not saying he’s under duress. I was more making the point that we can no longer count on the federal government to save itself. MAGA holds all the cards. Only the will of the People, acting in unison, can counteract this nation’s slide into authoritarianism.

My point is this: resistance from within cannot hope to stop what’s happening by themselves. They need the collective will of the American People on their side, collectively expressing their outrage in unison, to have a hope of reversing this slippery slope to fascism.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Democrats need to understand that if they acquiesce to the elimination of Article I and the power of the purse they will have crossed the rubicon. There will be no going back, nothing they can do in the future to stop many of us from trying to remove them from office

Hot take: as much as I support those who have served in our nation’s military, we should be including in this bill ALL the illegally fired fed employees, not singling out vets.

Enjoying a supervised snooze on the OUTSIDE of his screened-in porch for once!

Low-angle photo of a handsome white and tabby cat lounging in the sun on the top step of a set of wooden stairs leading to a screened-in deck. He’s squinting in the bright glow of the low evening sun, lying like an elongated loaf with his tail stretched out behind him. He is Happy.

Happy #caturday from Stumpy, the neighborhood stray I’ve been befriending! I was able to trap and fix her year-old kitten in January, but she’s been pretty skittish until recently. Last week she turned up one night and has been returning to beg for food and attention every day since.

Enjoying a moment of Appalachian zen.

Enjoy some more nice mushrooms.

Good morning, happy Sunday! This weekend, take the advice of a cat: Sleep in if you can, snooze in the sun later if you can’t!

Progress!! Stumpy is getting comfortable hanging out near me, and she brought a friend today!

I’d also like you to meet my current project cat named Stumpy. She’s a petite neighborhood stray with a half-tail, and I’ve been trying to feed/socialize her for the past few months. She’s gotten used to hanging out on my porch, but she always stays just out of reach!

Allow me to introduce my best buddy, Walter Whiskers. I rescued him from a shelter in Louisiana after @catsofyore.bsky.social shared his adoption profile a couple years back. He had his own TwiX account, but since I’m no longer active there, I figured I’d re-introduce him to folks over here!

Dan Haas @telemoniandan.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Hey y’all, finally made the jump from TwiX here to bluer pastures. I’m hoping this will be a good place for me to share scenic pics and stories of my cats!
