I'm just some guy in the sticks outside of Chicago. I like guitar, bass, tube amps, synths, trees, forest critters, sports cars. Feed is full of cats and shots of my somewhat rewilding backyard. Lefty but not really here for politics.

60s-80s hard rock, metal, post-punk, some prog.
Two cats sharing a cat bed. Princess (patch tabby) and Ponies (tux), the cat that makes her feel safe. He likes her but thinks she can be a bit much at times. This looks like one of those times. Three cats on a bed: gray faintly tabby Squirrel, orange tabby Bears (RIP), Ponies again. All boy cats. Six cats in a bay window: Whiskers (tiny tux), Bears yawning, Squirrel, Ponies again, Princess again, Biscuit (torbie girl). Two cats in a music room on cat furniture with amps and guitars. These are the Kitten Demons who pick on the other girl cats. Whiskers (tux) and Pumpkin (tortie). Since Bears passed, they're the only two that hang out with me in here.

Hello, friends. This is @lazybunface.bsky.social writing from Jeff’s account to share that my dear friend crossed over the rainbow bridge on May 21st.

Jeff was so happy with the community he built here. He loved your art, your stories and of course, all the cats you shared.

Love you, Jeff

What's absolutely wild about this is the way they've manufactured a global financial crisis for no reason at all. This isn't 2007-08, where it was a bubble bursting. This is taking a relatively thriving economy and deliberately destroying it in the first three months of your presidency.

New rule: if you vote to cut Medicaid, you have to go on Medicaid. If you don’t have any health issues, we’ll give you some. *hefts bat*

February is always a super-slow sales month plus y’know *gestures at economy* and now one of the kittens has a health issue that we hope is just parasites… so, uh, if anyone feels like sharing my website around, now would be an extra great time to do that?

(AMGRY LOAF for tax)

A collage of seven photos of jewelry made from swirly silver wire and assorted glass and gems. Going clockwise from upper left there is a pair of rainbow pride earrings made with tiny gemstones; a very elaborate pendant with labradorite stars; a set of five moon & star earrings with aurora-colored moons; a huge rainbow necklace that’s more like armor than jewelry; a pendant with a pretty blue round apatite bead; a green and orange labradorite pendant; and a pair of earrings made from silver swallow charms and small labradorite beads. A small black kitten with yellow eyes doing AMGRY LOAF because she was told to get off the counter. She is definitely plotting world domination, or at least a little murder as a treat.

Friends, are you in the NY/NJ/CT area and looking to adopt a really friendly cat, the kind of fella who will run to the door to greet you? My foster, Slim, is your guy!!! bit.ly/RHDRcat if you want to meet him!
Slim, a handsome black cat, tilts his head at us and gives a tiny blep. He is about to headbutt you and demand pets, and probably climb onto your lap

The earth and life and rocks and animals and human beings are so fucking amazing and it’s fucking disgusting what this economic system has done to all of it. It should incense people that human productive capacity is wasted on this shit

Cat and rescue friends, do you have advice on getting Chico trending to find a potential home for him? He's such a very good cat, checks almost all the boxes (dog reaction is unknow) yet we haven't any interest. Folks don't even know how lucky they can be if they chose him! #HelpFindingHome #BestBoy

Foster update: Chico is 2 years old and a giant playful kitten, who loves, LOVES snuggling on your chest and giving you many kisses (actual licks on your nose/cheek/chin). Look at this goofy goober? Who wouldn't want this most amazing kitty? #FosterCat #SouthernCT #Foreverhomeneeded #Cuddlebug #Cat
A black and white cat is playfully lounged on a colorful rug, looking up at the camera with the most gorgeous green/yellow eyes. Same male cat is sitting on the carpet, looking up at the camera with vibrant green/yellow eyes. His head is slightly tipped back and mouth is slightly open, showing a little of pink lip. His black nose is camouflaged by the black fur around it, giving him a slightly doofy but incredibly cute expression

yesterday, i got very close to this trio of tiny purple flowers
hit by the sun.

it's right on the edge of abstraction.
where i like to hang out.

photographed with a macro lens. a small bunch of the small purple dianthus flowers just hit by a sunbeam. surrounded by dark green leaves. because it's macro, they create a nice, neutral, blurred from.

Y'all have been asking me to make stickers of these forever, so I've finally gone and done it. They magnet version will be back eventually, too, but I need to find a new magnet supplier first. Anyhoo, these'll be up in the shop later today.

Do you need a doormat to annoy the immigration agents fucking around in your town? I've got you covered. (Yeah, this one's a bit outside my normal product range but what the hell, I'm branching out.)

Saw a matte white cybertruck yesterday, looked unfinished, like the artist rendering the scene got called to dinner.

Daily bunny no.2858 has an unexpected dinner guest
A bunny is cooking a burger in a skillet over a campfire. Ingredients and cooking implements are laid out around him on his campsite, and it is the late afternoon. To the bunny's surprise, a bear walks out from behind a tree, expecting to be fed.
