Warrior Queen. The only female to serve solo as King of All Ireland, 468-461 BCE. Now reigning as the Porch Kitty of Covington. My real home is Emain Macha, but I'm just hanging out here for a while.

Trump's cold-hearted plan threatens $1B in cuts to KY’s public education funding — that’s $2,000 per student.
Without it, our schools lose support for meals, special education, and academic aid.
Our children can’t afford this attack on public education.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Poor Ganymede. He was such a handsome boy that Zeus wanted him for his own pleasure, to be his "wine-bearer" (*wink-wink*) in return for immortality. Ganymede told me it wasn't worth it because Zeus was only interested in himself. Humans and gods, what can I tell you
Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Even cats like me admire human like her. (And there are few humans we admire.)
Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.
Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

As the only queen to serve as a king of all Ireland, I support the Irish policy of recognizing Palestinian rights, and the statement by Taoiseach Simon Harris that "Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”

I support trans people because you can be whatever you desire. I am legendary queen because I am.
My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.
If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

#Cats #CatPics Here I am, just trying to get a drink, when this big galoot of a housemate enters MY library. Goes by the name of Fionn mac Cumhaill. I told him, "I know Fionn mac Cumhaill; I'm a legend like Fionn mac Cumhaill. You sir, are no Fionn mac Cumhaill." He chased me into the bathroom.

OK. So I came inside for a while. It's OK, I guess. It's freaking cold out there.

It's cold and wet outside, and stuff is falling from the sky. My people want me to come inside, but my fur coat keeps me warm and mostly dry. Yeah, I know it's safer inside, but who would protect the porch if I cowered indoors?

I just heard screaming from my fellow #cats inside the house. That's why I stay outside -- I can always avoid their drama and unnecessary conflict. Inside, there's no place to hide
