Iza All Kinds of Banged Up
@izabelakaramia.bsky.social
Left Twitter in November 2022. I'm mostly using Mastodon for social media, but have made an account here to follow good sources of news for trans people and hopefully find a few of my mutuals from my Twitter days. Probably won't post much here.
I recently retired an old cardigan sweater and used it to make Ginza's cat bed cozier. She seems to like it.

Ginza advises Jasper that he should stick his tail up and through the Venetian blind slots.

So later on I was browsing through the scanned archive of 1958 Chess Review issues and found a letter written to them, that identifies the cat as belonging to a lady had been playing correspondence chess with the letter writer. The two met one another and got married!

I also zoomed in to take closer look at the inky void who graced the cover of a chess magazine.

@catsofyore.bsky.social While browsing through scanned archives of the magazine Chess Review, which was published from 1933 to 1969, I found a cat! People who have watched Netflix's The Queen's Gambit will recognize that Chess Review was the magazine shoplifted by Beth Harmon.

My trans agenda this afternoon was to free a goat whose head got stuck in the fence.

It took time and patience and lots of cat treats, but I gained her trust and convinced her to retire from the outdoor life she had known for 10 years! Now she enjoys 2 meals a day, treats, playtime, and sleeping beside me at nights.

It was about 2 years ago that I was first getting to know the cat in this photo. You can see her tipped left ear. She had been TNRed and had lived at the apartment complex I had moved into. An elderly gentlemen fed her lunch everyday but couldn't bring her inside, she was that skittish.

Ginza says it's a great gig moving inside, isn't it?

I have a motto: All cats are good cats.

That's how I ended up with this tipped ear baby who sleeps next to me every night.

Very first visual of the movie:

Ginza has put up the do not disturb sign. She lost important sleep last night because of thunderstorms.

Doesn't everyone do that?

As always, the news is a firehose of awful bs.

Probably why I try to spend a good chunk of time taking care of Ginza and thinking about her. She's a good kitty cat and she makes me smile about something every day.

The news everyday is a firehose of awful bs, but here's one of my favorite photos of Ginza, taken last March, she was underneath a rocking chair and the sun was shining in through the south facing windows.

Ginza has sized up some and is perhaps slightly chubby nowadays.

Another pic of Ginza from March last year. This one shows off her tipped left ear, which she got after she had her first litter of kittens and got TNRed. The rescue shelter was unable to tame her, so she was returned to the apartment complex she knew as home.

This is a photo of Ginza the Amazing from a year ago back in our old apartment. She had no idea that in about 4 weeks time, she was going to take a flight across the country in one of those jets that had frequently flown over the apartment complex where she had lived as a feral for 8 or 9 years.

it did begin to heal, the cat distribution system blessed me with the challenge of taming a feral cat. It took almost a year, but I gained her trust and Ginza is now my best friend in this world. Here's picture of her.
