A lo-rez picture of a cat in a blue sweater, with his front paws on a keyboard. The text above him reads: "FUN FACT: The internet was once a fun place for watching cat videos, instead of monitoring the real-time collapse of late stage capitalism."

It kind of reminds me of Keith Moon's "Pictures of Lily" drum kit, which he decorated with naughty post cards 🥁

Oddly, I'm not sure which one was first, but I do know the exact date I first listened to her; Oct 3, 2024, based on a recommendation from @wholesomefilth.bsky.social - I was driving through the misty hills of Tennessee and just hit shuffle and soon I was absolutely hooked

Drawing of a sinister figure sitting on a bed that is occupied by a person with the covers drawn up to their chin. Text reads: Each night Father fills me with dread When he sits on the foot of my bed; I'd not mind that he speaks In gibbers and squeaks, But for seventeen years he's been dead.
