Two cool ladies (roommates??) and a small pal. Photo from my collection, ca. 1930s.
A black and white photo of two “tomboyish” looking women with their arms slung around each other, one of them holding a kitten. They're outside and wearing work clothes.

The back of this photo says “Pulley’s cat. July 1956”. ❤️
Black and white photo of a shorthaired white and tabby cat approaching the camera with tail raised up in a friendly greeting. For some reason there are two dark regions on the photo, on either side of the cat, as if there were fingers over the lens or it was peering through a crooked fence.

Haunting last photo found on an abandoned camera, the owner of which was never seen again. (Just kidding - photo from my collection, 1955)
Black and white photo looking up at a shorthaired white and tabby cat in a tree. The cat is clearly coming down toward the camera as if happy to see the photographer.

Noir goddess. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a medium haired white cat lying in loaf position on a lawn. The photo is pretty striking because it’s fairly dark but the cats’ face is dramatically illuminated by light streaming in from the right. It is reminiscent of how women’s faces were often lit in noir films of the 1940s and 50s. The cats’ eyes look they might be two different colors but it’s unclear if it’s due to heterochromia or just the stark lighting.

“Jeune Femme avec son Chat” Jeanne Bôle (1825 - 1891).
Oil painting of a beautiful young white woman with dark hair pinned up, wearing a gauzy white and gold dress. She looks tenderly down at a medium haired brown tuxedo tabby cat that she cradles in her arms.

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.

Sepia toned studio portrait of a sweetly smiling little girl with dark hair wearing a high collar white blouse. She is holding a shorthaired tabby kitten up so that he is in a standing position in front of her.

From Dean’s Mother Goose Book of Rhymes, illustrated by Janet Grahame Johnstone and Ann Grahame Johnstone. This book was published in 1977 but it was a compilation of several volumes from throughout the 70s.
Colorful illustration of a shorthaired ginger tuxedo tabby up on its hind legs, dancing amongst some wildflowers and playing bagpipes. On the ground beside him a mouse and large bee are dancing together.

1. Today, multiple Dem. senators have come out against pundits and Suozzi/Moulton scapegoating trans Americans.

"After the 2004 election a lot of pundits said it was time for Democrats to stop standing up for gay people. They were wrong."

Notably this only failed because they were trying to expedite it. In a normal floor vote it would have passed. Here’s the list of who voted for and against it: clerk.house.gov/Votes/202445...

NOTE:

THIS IS NOT A FINAL VOTE, THIS WAS A VOTE ON SUSPENDING THE RULES TO PASS THE BILL.

IF YOUR CONGRESSPERSON VOTED YEA, CALL THEM AND TELL THEM THEY SHOULD FIX THEIR MISTAKE.

Just look at this quote here. This man is incredible with his support for trans and queer people.

- GLAAD study suggests anti-trans ads are not effective
- Moving to the right on trans rights didn't work for Dems in OH & TX
- aggressive anti-trans messaging wasn't potent for the GOP in 2022
- trans rights rank low on issue priority polling

Opinion | Democrats would get nothing for throwing trans Americans under the bus
In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.

From Jenny and the Cat Club, written and illustrated by Esther Averill. 1958.
Sweet and simple illustration of a shorthaired black cat wearing a bright red scarf, standing in an open window as if about to jump outside. The window has white curtains with red polka dots and it is surrounded by an ivy vine. The only colors are black and red on a white background.
