The shelter I volunteer with has a unique adoption situation right now and I'd be so grateful if people could share to anyone they know in Vermont who might be a good fit. This is Devon, and his story is a little complicated so please click this link to find out more! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

It’s a shame that Blackie doesn’t have any toys now that he’s an indoor cat.

It may only be false spring, but Dee and I will take whatever we can get. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

The #Chewy order arrived today. I got some new toys for Blackie to try. He’s not sure what to make of this one, but at least he’s not afraid of it anymore.

Blackie seems to think anything soft is not to be trusted. I’m leaving treats on his bed in the hopes of changing the association. Catnip wasn’t enough to convince him.

I always wonder if this is why Blackie was never impressed when the deer came to visit.

After a 2 day hiatus, Dee returned to her shelter to eat. She got an earful from me for making me worry. In typical cat fashion, she didn’t show any remorse. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Blackie is still figuring out how cushions work. They’re too soft to be trusted.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

This is Zephyr. He is a professionally trained bed bug detector. When he recognizes the scent of live bed bugs, he gives an alert by sitting and smiling exuberantly at his handler. We're pretty sure no one has ever been more excited to find bed bugs in their life. 13/10 (TT: emmercrew)

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
