My late cat Xindi LOVED wasps and scorpions 🥲 He'd get so mad at me for taking them away lol

(Here's a pic of him cuddling with his lifelong best bud, not a care in the world for the risks of Danger Toys)
Two cats cuddling in a cat bed on top of a scratching post. Spot's the orange and white one, Xindi is the grey tabby point.

The White House is going to look like a fiddler crab
A photo of a mock up of the white house with the new, giant East Wing ballroom. The ballroom structure is larger than the white house main building. A fiddler crab who has one giant claw and one little claw.

Literally Stephen Miller--
"I studied the blade" meme: A young man in a T-shirt and jeans, standing, pulling a sword out of its hilt. The text reads "When you were partying, I studied the blade. When you were having premarital sex, I mastered the block chain. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated strength. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate, you have the audacity to come to me for help?"

In 2025 Gardening Adventures:

My second potato bucket was much more fruitful than the first one.

And someone brought some zucchini in to work they really wanted to get rid of lol
Purple potatoes in a red bowl with a hand holding one for scale. Two large zucchini and a tomato on a table with a sign that says "Please take me home with you." They've got full sized candy bars taped to them.

Spot discovered the fern earlier this week and he's infatuated. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to get to it, yet.
A cat standing on a ladder, on the paint bucket platform, staring longingly at a fern in a hanging planter. The ladder doubles as a cat tree, so it has carpet glued to it.

Toe beans! 📷🐈‍⬛
A black cat, laying on colorful quilts, sleeping with her toe beans up and head tilted. The same black cat as in the previous photo, laying on colorful quilts, with her toe beans up, and one eye open because I disturbed her with the camera

It's unfair to have to choose yell at birbs or sit in lap?

An orange and white cat doing some pretty impressive airplane ears while sitting in a lap. Not pictured is the flock of little birds chirping right outside the sliding glass door.

My grandpa (Mom 's side) drew my brother and I matching buck and doe drawings when we were kids. My dad mailed mine to me right before his house burned down. My brother's was lost in the fire. My mom thought both were lost until last weekend. I decided to tattoo mine today. #stickandpoke #tattoo
A framed line drawing of a deer, fawn laying on the ground, an evergreen tree, and a downed log with a flower growing out of it. A pencil line drawing of the same deer, fawn, and tree, but closer together. A black line tattoo of the deer, fawn, and tree above my knee.

Time for the garden planter Hunger Games!
A small planter with some Celosia and other plants, spaced too closely together. The other plants are runner beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bell peppers, and sunflowers, but it's not obvious from the photo.
