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'.)

People of The United Kingdom, your attention please:

This seems like such a good idea I think it's odd that this isn't already a thing...

Petition: By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party

My brain isn't braining today.

Is there a 'Start Ya Bastard' for brains..?

Why do they want Greenland..?

Hypothesis: They are very stupid..?
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".

Block immediately. Don't mute, block. They're only here to be provocative and that ain't happening if they're pre-emptively blocked.

(And let's get them in the top five blocked accounts...)

Can confirm.

Have also failed to glue things in interesting new ways while flying to Venus on the magic swan.

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.

Yay, #ADHD

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..?

After over 2 years, they managed to track down a never used D1 play head and have been able to recover all 4 seasons at pixel accurate quality. What a great story.

Big props to @linusmediagroup.com for being part of this.

We're living in the stupid timeline...
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

Cat break! Stop scrolling!

Look at this adorable cat. Breathe slowly. Relax. Look at the cat some more.
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.

(Or nicked the one off the sandwich toaster in the cupboard under the sink.)
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Cat repost for those who need it...
Would y'all like another photo of the sweet little bundle of hyperactivity and zero attention-span who distracted me from hedge-based activities..?

You would? Okay...

Er, well... Good morning from Tehran, I guess..?

Nope. Gloomy, cold and damp. Looks very Yorkshire.

Assuming it gets built, how about holding the trials in the Jeffrey Edward Epstein Memorial Dance Hall..?

Then demolish it.
