Hi, I'm Kat.
I take stuff apart. Sometimes, I put it back together...
I also collect obsolete television standards.
Currently not owned by a cat, so here's a 2005 pic of Frankie (RIP ~1985 - 2006) being a trip hazard.

It's been a while since I posted a Scary Bitches track; as my playlist just surfaced 'Transylvanian Folk Song?', I thought I'd share.
This is from their 2004 album, 'Creepy Crawlies', (as is Ghost Riders'.)

The idiot-in-chief fails to understand that the Mercator projection makes lands further from the equator look bigger, thus believes Greenland is vast.
The idiot-in-chief fails to understand that "rare" in the context of "rare earth" does not mean "scarce".

In kitchen, grinding a smidge of black pepper into the bowl of beans I was about to microwave.
Mind wandered.
Remembered what I was doing.
Balls.
Now have fluids leaking from eyes and nose...
They're... intense.

Hated my recorded voice.
Earlier, needed to non-kinetically interact with my infuriating landlord. Decided to record it. Dreaded playing it.
Hadn't heard it since before transitioning (2000).
I... don't hate it now..?!
What happened?!
Confidence..? Me being comfortable being me..?

people knew they were voting for cruelty
I do not think even the worst of them knew they were voting for a literal invasion of Greenland and the end of relations between the US and Europe because President Dipshit over here had a big mercator projection map over his bed as a child

Is there such a thing as 'too many cat pics'..?
I abandoned the hedge to follow my visitor around with a camera. Not easy; they would not stay still. Too many interesting things..!
This shot was taken just before a bum-wiggle and launch at... something.

Electrical appliances came without mains plugs, just bare, sometimes stripped and tinned wires, on the end of the mains cable.
You bought mains plugs separately, attached them yourself and installed the correct fuse.
