I would like to bring you “Daddy went back outside to get the rest of the groceries instead of giving me treats as soon as he got home like he normally does.”
Freya, our tortoiseshell kitty, is sitting on a beige carpet (you know, the kind that’s in every apartment in America) looking as though the world has ended. But in an adorable way.

This is from one of my blood draws, just to give y’all a sense of what it’s like.
A white basket filled with at least 13 vials they use for blood draws.

😂

One time I took a picture because they took so much blood.
A white basket filled with tubes for one of my blood draws. There’s about 13 or so tubes.

Recent Freya pic
This is our senior tortoiseshell kitty Frey, laying on her side on our grey couch with her front paws and head facing up. She is a kitty yoga master.

I was going to save this for #Caturday, but it’s too cute to wait.

Mind you, our kitties have a very nice drinking fountain.

Also, please ignore the ugly box behind her. We have more books than bookshelves.

This is what all of their interactions are like. Sometimes there’s hissing. 🙄
Luna, our tuxedo kitty, is warily edging by Freya, our tortoiseshell kitty, who is laying on our bed. The bedspread they’re on is a blue, yellow, and white quilt.

Here’s Freya in her basket. And I looked and surprisingly don’t have a picture of Luna on her scratching board. I’ll have to take one next time I see her there.

And yeah. They are not fans of one another and have an uneasy truce by dividing up the apartment. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

Yesterday we made roast chicken with tarragon and a shallot tarragon pan sauce, served with smashed potatoes topped with manchego and Irish cheddar.
A picture of a beautiful roast chicken (if I don’t say so myself), resting on a black cutting board that’s on top of a fake granite counter. A black plate with a sliced roast chicken breast with plan sauce and manchego and Irish cheddar covered smashed potatoes.

On top of the amazing turnout for the #NoKings protests, it’s also #Caturday.
Freya, our tortoiseshell kitty, is curled up on my lap on the grey blanket. She is ridiculously adorable. And was snoring at the time of this picture. Luna, our tuxedo kitty, is staring off into the distance while laying on our bed on the cat-hair covered “white” blanket. She looks to be pondering the meaning of life. Or she’s high on catnip. Hard to tell.

So which is it? 2 million or ~66,000?

They’re so incompetent, they can’t even keep their lies straight FFS.

DHS claims 1.6 million people “self-deported” and 400,000 were removed just two months after ICE claimed only 65,682 were removed.

Seriously, this shit would be hilarious if it wasn’t supporting evil.

Below is a photograph of the “copious”notes Pam Bondi took in preparation for her Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

As you can see, the only preparations she made was how to attack the various Senators questioning her.

This isn’t governance. This is insane.

A tweet by @Mollyploofkins. “Zoomed-in photo of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s notes while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., October 7, 2025. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst” On the folder is a tweet by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a series of bullet point attacks to make on Senator Whitehouse, and some handwritten notes about responses that include what to say if asked about personnel or firing issues and yet another attack on Senator Whitehouse.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m pretty sure this one of Pam Bondi tells us exactly what kind of person she is.

Hint: angry, entitled bitch who doesn’t give a shit about the American people, her actual bosses.
This is a picture of Pam Bondi at the congressional hearings on Tuesday, 10/7/25. It was taken by Win McNamee and is owned by Getty Images. In it, Pam has her arms crossed in front of her, is holding a pen, and looks like she’s annoyed at how unappreciative the Senate Dems have been of her gracing them with her presence. In other words, Bondi is looking like the mega-bitch she is.

If you’re busy screaming on the inside like I am, here are some #Caturday pics to distract you temporarily from the fall of American democracy.
Our tuxedo kitty Luna is laying on an off-white blanket that is covered in her hair. She’s laying on her side, with her back legs stretched out and then somehow also laying on her back, with her front paws curled up over her belly. Her favorite catnip toy banana is right next to her. You’ll want to pet her belly, but don’t. Unless you don’t mind losing a limb, of course. Our tortoiseshell kitty Freya is laying on our grey couch, also somehow simultaneously laying on her side and back. Her front paws are curled up next to her adorable face. This is a belly that you can pet without losing a limb. She will meow at you though.

I thought Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025? Also, WTF does he mean by “Democrat Agencies”? That’s not a thing.

Finally, please somebody impeach this mad king!!! How many illegal and unethical things does he have to do before he gets impeached? Anyone else would have been removed by now.
“Truth” Social posting from DJT: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I might have eaten my partner’s snickers bar while he was gone.
A screenshot of a text conversation with my partner. Me: I have to warn you, baby. I am almost positive that the Snickers bar you left here is going to disappear before you’re back on Tuesday. Obviously, I’ll have nothing whatsoever to do with its disappearance and I will do my utmost to help you solve the case of the disappearing Snickers bar. But I’m pretty sure it will disappear regardless of my best efforts to keep it safe for you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Alas. Him: these things happen. Thank you for your assistance on this matter.

Happy #Caturday!

I don’t have anything clever to add, they’re just freaking adorable.
Our tuxedo kitty Luna is laying on an off-white blanket (made even more off-white by the copious amounts of her hair embedded in it). She is twisted so that her back legs are spread out on the blanket but her front paws are curled up to her chest, which is facing up. Her head is partially looking up also and she is curled around her banana catnip toy. I have no idea how she manages these positions. Our tortoiseshell kitty Freya is curled up on our grey couch, with her back against the armrest and facing me. She has one eye open to make sure I’m aware of how ridiculously cute she’s being. Her back legs are straight out and her front paws are laying on her knees.

These kitties are the only thing keeping me sane lately (and I guess my partner too). Happy #Caturday!
Our tuxedo kitty Luna is curled up on a white blanket with a blue, yellow, and white quilt above her head. She is laying on a black and white fuzzy toy that is a ball with feathers attached. Her other favorite toy (a catnip banana) is nearby. Our senior tortoiseshell kitty Freya is passed the fuck out on my lap while I’m playing video games. She’s laying on a fuzzy grey blanket between my legs, with her head turned sideways and laying across my stomach.

Just an example of how male-centric medicine is. Here are the instructions for applying my Butrans patch.

Note the image is of a male chest. Not sure how breasts factor into placing the patch there, but no worries! I doubt they bothered to see if having breasts impacts how the medication works. 🤬
This is part of the instructions for applying a Butrans patch. There are two images of a male chest showing where to apply the patch (on the pectoral muscle). Applying a patch 1. While continuing to use the smaller portion of the protective liner as a handle, place the sticky side of the patch on the site you prepared for application 2. While still holding the sticky side down, gently fold back the smaller portion of the patch. Grasp an edge of the remaining protective liner and slowly peel it off 3. If you are using two patches, remember to apply them at the same site right next to each other. Always apply and remove the two patches together at the same time

Happy #Caturday!

Figured I hadn’t posted pics of the kitties lately, despite my camera roll consisting of 90% cat pics. 🤷🏻‍♀️
My partner took this picture of Luna, our tuxedo kitty, who is laying on her side on top of a blue, yellow, and white quilt and a white-ish blanket that is covered in her hair. Luna is looking at the camera. Freya, our tortoiseshell kitty, is asleep on my lap in a very soft grey blanket, straddling my waist (I’m the blue shirt in the lower left corner of the picture.

As a childless cat lady, I can only imagine how hard it must be for parents and their kids these days. Just constant anxiety.

And here we go yet again: this is not, I repeat NOT, how tariffs work. Charging American consumers for buying products from India does not affect Russia AT ALL.

All he’s doing with these tariffs are alienating our allies & pushing Modi into the arms of Putin & Xi.

www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
From HuffPost: Trump claimed the United States’ recent tariff increase on India from 25% to 50% — a tax designed to punish India for buying oil from Russia — is costing Russia “billions of dollars.”

Once again, that’s not how any of this works.

If somebody does a large amount of business with you, you are doing a large amount of business with them. This is not a complicated idea.

And don’t even get me started on how little he understands tariffs.

Stupidest times ever!
“Truth” from DJT: What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest “client,“ but we sell them very little – Until now a totally one sided relationship, and it has been for many decades. The reason is that India has charged us, until now, such high Tariffs, the most of any country, that our businesses are unable to sell into India. It has been a totally one sided disaster! Also, India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the U.S. They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago. Just some simple facts for people to ponder!!!
