If only twitter threads were still a thing because I have quite the story to tell about how my destiny of being a cat rescuer is literally being forced upon me.

I currently have seven (7) cats in my house. I’ll tell it one day. Maybe I’ll write it.

Since I got married the algorithm has not stopped offering me pregnancy shit. It’s absolutely relentless, and was pretty much immediate — I’m being advertised fertility treatments, solo pregnancy retreats, folic acid supplements.

How do I turn it off?!

When I moved in this yard was nothing but bare concrete, and I’ve gradually filled it with planters and pots of plants and wild flowers.

Makes me so happy whenever I see bees buzzing around here. It’s all for you lads 🐝🐝🐝
