next phase of election tampering in Ohio just dropped.


Give in to your selfish impulses and let the nice money-go-up machine solve all your pesky problems for you...

"cat on lap" is the answer to both questions

There isn't! Haven't had a tuxie around here in a minute. Got a cow cat, but he's not part of the bed crew.

(oh and we have dogs, too)

Absolutely. They look nothing alike. I DID once have a pair of siblings who WERE hard to tell apart, but their behavior was so different, that made it simple.

What do you think? Same same?

You adopt the "kids" first and then you try to make enough money to upgrade to kids-proof materials that also look nice.

Easy-peasy.

And if you run out of time, you did the important things first so that's OK.

It HELPS a LOT if your aesthetics run toward "bohemian" and also "waterproof."

Me trying to make friends: DO YOU LIKE TINY THINGS??

Oh, I don't make it; I just appreciate it. Do you like it, tho?

Which of my tree neighbors is responsible for dropping THIS ginormous thing?? Northeast Ohio #treeID

Meanwhile, in Ohio...

Maybe don't despair?

This dance right here? She just had a satisfying poop. #tortietude #catbehavior #accuratestorytelling

When you know WHO your animals are, you'll better be able to tell HOW they are.

We're on antibiotic option #2 hoping to knock back the infection on her forehead tumor one more time. Such a bummer so many people will never get to love this particular perfected being with her inefficient heart, tiny body & yoga moves.

Beyond grateful I get to be THIS sad while she's STILL HERE ❤️

I can tell the relative level of peacefulness vs tribalism in my #clowder by how many cats are willing to share the bed. The number always goes up by one when it's colder. Mr Darcy (Kirei), over there, still considers himself a cut above the company, but he'll relax and make a friend at some point.

so much cat yelling for no good reason
November 1, 2025 at 11:36 PM
This cat can go from "I love you" to "I'll murder you" in ONE second. I saved him from barn-cat status after he hurt a 10 y/old boy. Now he's learning BETTER (pro-social) ways to deal with his big feelings. He knows the door leads to food and he knows the words "toy" and "in the box" ... 1/3

NAILED 'EM.

How long d'ya think before some sad social media intern feverishly deletes deletes deletes!

I'm gonna get banned from BOOKS.

Couch time is when the wolf will lie down with the lamb and the leopard with the goat (aka the least social amongst the children all pile on mom).. It's worth it to them to be peaceful they know I'll keep them safe, even from each other. #operantconditioning #enlightenment

you gearheads like your pretty faces and flashy colors but I like a trusty, dirty old steed in my stable and a KYOOT butt (my DREAM girl though is the body of a 1969 Chevy Nova in dark teal... with an electric heart)

The compromise: Vedek

He DID bite our mini poodle once b/c Phil is a bullying little Napoleon. Their interactions get SUPERVISED. With cats, Vedek learned fast to "be nice" or "leave it."

Assertive vs gentle, competitive vs playful, survival (learning) mode vs pro-social (cooperating) mode... 2/

Be brave, you who would serve the public good.

Lead with values. With LOVE.

Do the right things for the right reasons and the voters will come to you, from both sides of the aisle. The US & the world are starving for enlightenment.

Yawning was described as a "calming signal" by Turid Rugaas in "On Talking Terms with Dogs." It's a visible marker of a stimulated brain calming itself down & trying to calm nearby brains as well (s'why contagious) - know this & USE it to calm yourself a bit, in a pinch. (Not in meetings, tho.)

Follow me for the most bullying zen koans you have EVER experienced.

Plus jokes; some good.

Oh, and brain training... but that's like incidental <pay no attention to the subtle manipulation behind the curtain>

& look, cats & dogs... animals also have brains. Huh. Anyway, look, cute hubs + cat!)

Hey, we got an urgent call to action here, folks! The *least* anyone seeing this can do is repost the crap out of it *widely*

If you have even *one* favorite fallen tree (outside the White House, maybe? call your reps for the trees sacrificed to tRump's ballroom debacle!!)

Perfection. No notes. When life imitates art THIS HARD, art has no choice but to ELEVATE.

The screenplays furiously being written about this right now better match this energy or I *will* declare the medium dead. This timeline owes us the most sublime heist movie ever to be conceived of, I think.
