Do you ever read a story that just makes you go "fuuuuuuck that is so good"?

There Used To Be Peace by @margaret.bsky.social in "Amplitudes" is one of those.
The opening paragraph of There Used To Be Peace by Margaret Killjoy.

Sometimes my single braincell cat reaches out a paw 🥹
Bug, a black and white cat, sitting on my lap, a paw resting on my hand like a pleasant little chap reassuring the parental unit he'd bite assholes for me.

Unpacking and getting to enjoy the little trinkets Critters gave me is a joy all over again.
A collection of trinkets, including sticks with dragons and dice, a purple 6 sided die, a key ring with donuts and lollipops, and a quote scroll. The quote says "Sleep well with your bad decisions - Caduceus Clay".

Found this neat dice trinket jar at the local craft market today.
A decorated jar of DnD dice. The jar is full if trinkets set in resin,with 7 green and purple dice on top. It is sealed with a cork stopper and orange wax. It speaks to my goblin nature.

This dingus, usually not the cuddliest of cats, has suddenly realised the cooler weather has arrived. I must now maintain The Lap Position or he gets mighty miffed.
Bug, a black and white cat, lying on a tartan blanket, head upside down, feet at odd angles, one fang slightly poking out his mouth. He is warm, and refusing to move.

Sometimes you've got to marvel at the intersection of technology and the wonders of the universe.

I took this photo of the moon on my phone.
A full moon, as seen from the Southern Hemisphere, with the dark areas mostly in the bottom right quadrant, and Mare Crisium on the left.

Anyway, have a relaxo cat
It's Bug again, that black and white bag of furry trouble. He's got his front paws tucked under his head as a sneps on the back of the couch, unawares of his parental unit's woes.

This album has always had the right thing to say to me at any moment in the last 20 years.
Cover of the box set for the 20th anniversay edition of Green Day's "American Idiot". Stylized hand holding a hand grenade in the shape of a heart, with the pull-pin shaped into the number 20.
