Anyway.

Which one of you drugged my fucking cat
A brown and black tabby cat passed tf out on my boyfriends lap like a toddler at a birthday party, her little arm dangling off his hand, which is the only thing supporting her pill bug rolled up fat little head. She is the shape of the letter C, head and feet down. She is a disaster. She is perfect.

Me and who
Some plaster? Maybe concrete? Garden sculptures of these fat, thin beaked, long necked bird things. Think emu's but skinny beaks. seagulls on stilts. And they are HOOTIN. One of them has the energy that it might be cat calling u and the other one is hollering like an eagle's fan on a light post. They're perfect. They're having a great time. Also they are like the size of a big human I am not kidding.

You can give a horse a microphone but you can't make her pronounce words right
A screenshot of the New And Improved! audio companion to my fiction Substack, Skies Afire. This update is a bulk recordings of chapters 1-4 and it's like 35 minutes. It's just noteworthy because embedding the individual chapter audios into the posts as I have been doing, I split the bulk recording into its own podcast feed and called it "Skies Afire" part 1

Typically, a writer’s retreat involves a hotel room and at least one bottle of wine. I've just booked myself a 12 hour bus to Chicago. There's no escaping the work there.

Rare: both cats in same photo
Prographer is sitting with their feet up on a couch. There's a sleeping brown tabby cat in foreground on the photographers lap, grey tabby cat out of focus at the photographers feet. They are facing opposite directions. But have similar pictures and expressions.

If someone is in your contacts, and also has signal, you can send them a connection request. If they accept the connection, you can then add them to group chats, even if the two of you have not exchanged 1-1 messages. Here's an excerpt from the Atlantic piece
Screenshot of the Atlantic article about the war plans group chat "On Tuesday, March 11, I received a connection request on Signal from a user identified as Michael Waltz. Signal is an open-source encrypted messaging service popular with journalists and others who seek more privacy than other text-messaging services are capable of delivering. I assumed that the Michael Waltz in question was President Donald Trump’s national security adviser. I did not assume, however, that the request was from the actual Michael Waltz. I have met him in the past, and though I didn’t find it particularly strange that he might be reaching out to me, I did think it somewhat unusual, given the Trump administration’s contentious relationship with journalists—and Trump’s periodic fixation on me specifically. It immediately crossed my mind that someone could be masquerading as Waltz in order to somehow entrap me. It is not at all uncommon these days for nefarious actors to try to induce journalists to share information that could be used against them." Atlantic article continued "I accepted the connection request, hoping that this was the actual national security adviser, and that he wanted to chat about Ukraine, or Iran, or some other important matter. Two days later—Thursday—at 4:28 p.m., I received a notice that I was to be included in a Signal chat group. It was called the “Houthi PC small group.”"

Looks kind of like one of our pudge balls when she was a kitten! Also a feral baby. Good luck!

The "they don't know" meme where the wojack? Guy is standing in the corner of a room full of people but instead of saying "they don't know" XYZ it's a shitty scribbled out low res "they know I have the heart of a poster" and the people dancing around the room are tagged with "we do" and "it's a growing concern"

Next chapters on Substack! Typos and all ...
A cropped Substack graphic showing a sharpie doodle of a little snow covered cabin in the middle of a black night speckled with stars and/or snow (it's kind of ambiguous.) it's captioned "Skies Afire is an ongoing sci-fi/fantasy serial, set in a far distant future where magic coexists with advanced technology" except advanced is spelled wrong because I'm a twit.
