Panda says, “go to sleep, no more doomscrolling tonight.”
A small kitten, about 6 or 7 weeks old(?), with white fur and black spots, with a black splotch of fur around her left eye and a lightning slash of white fur over her right eye, sitting inside a cardboard box on top of a blue towel with a paw print blanket laid out in the foreground.

You don’t see best part of the headline until you click it open.

I've been meaning to post this November kitty from @ghostkittenart.bsky.social. I LOVE her yearly calendars and I missed pre-ordering for 2026, oops! Going to remedy that right now.

In case you want to see her store, it's here: www.nicolepiar.com/shop/spirit-... (not a commission, just ❤️)
A happy kitty image from a 2025 calendar from Nicole Piar, aka Ghost Kitten. It reads underneath: "Synchronicity: Meet Lexi. She passed into our world through the divine nexus of a series of unlikely events. She arrives at the precise moment when she is needed most as if answering a silent prayer, a sweet antidote to our fears and struggles. Coincidence? Maybe. A beautiful mystery? Certainly. Watch for her paw prints as they glimmer through your life."

Picked up my very first order of surprise to go food using the Too Good To Go app. This will be our dinner tonight. #TGTG
Three large slices of pizza in a box. One cheese, one margherita, and one that looks similar to margherita pizza but with swirly dabs of cheese?

Inside settings for Safari (from the Safari drop down menu) and then look click Search. In there you can choose which search engine you use. I used to use FF too. You might be able use Ecosia there? Ecosia is not perfect but I'm happy being able to disable AI and it works well enough.
Screenshot of the Safari settings panel with Search and the search icon highlighted in blue, showing a drop down for Search Engine, with Ecosia selected. Close up of the Safari search engine choices: Ecosia, Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.

A Venn diagram with the words "walkable neighborhoods, towns, & cities" at the center, surrounded by three overlapping circles: "I want clean air" + "I want great local shops." + "I want a vibrant community" and then in the overlaps "walkable streets & protected bike lanes." + "Housing over shops & shared public spaces" + "Higher density, fewer cars." Graphic made by me. A Venn diagram with the words "Does Not Exist" at the center, surrounded by three overlapping circles: "I Want Stable Services" + "I Want Low Density" + "I Want Low Taxes" and then in the overlaps "High Taxes" + "Service Cuts" + "More Density."

Mailed more #PostcardsToVoters today, one year to the day, this time to #NewJersey. Oddly enough, this time watch-listened to Galaxy Quest this time too. At least this time I remembered to take a photo.
Phots of four rubber-banded stacks of and three loose postcards, mostly blue with a green border, with all-caps text reading “New Jersey Votes.” The New Jersey text shows New Jersey images inside a white border and the word Votes is all in yellow.

View from above piazza del popolo Xmas 2023:
A view of piazza del popolo in Rome from above, looking west I believe. There’s an obelisk and a huge Christmas tree in the piazza.

Took the kids to the #WalnutCreek #NoKings protest today. My younger one had at least five older folks telling him how proud they were of him for coming out and showing up. All went well. Lots of fun. We drove through the “honk and wave” after.
Protest sign saying “No Kings” with the word “no” decorated like a flag and the word Kings in orange. Protest sign reading “Protect Freedom” in purple and flag coloring and red text lower down reading “no tyrants” and “no kings”. A protest sign with a big red heart tucked behind the word America is dark blue lettering and on the next line “+ Democracy” in flag coloring (blue with white stars above red and white stripes) then “= No Kings” in orange with a red slash through the “O” in the “No” and then “No Tyrants” in black with another red slash on the “O” in “No”.

I present to you: The Cat in the Trap.
A floofy black cat by name of Jack (Sparrow) sitting inside a rectangle of masking tape on a patterned rug of dark colors, with his floofy tail extending past the tape.

Kittens in rotisserie chicken bucket lids. We used them to weigh them — they were some of our foster kittens. Note the cozy cat bed behind them they are ignoring in favor of the plastic lids. #FosterKittens #ProofofCat
From left to right a sleeping black kitten with a white foot sticking out of a clear plastic bucket lid, a gray tabby kitten sitting up in a similar lid, and a white and gray tabby kitten sleeping in a third lid. I wish I could remember their names right now!

Okay, I’m thoroughly annoyed I can’t sort out how to do this. Who knows? This is 6th grade math so it should be easy. Right???

Double decker cat situation. Notice how the top one thinks my laptop is actually a kitty heating pad. 🤦‍♀️

I’m thinking we could all use some yummy homemade cake right now.
A silly blue dragon made of cake with fruit leather wings and some kind of licorice spines down his back plus strawberry strips for his tongue and some kind red candies for his mouth and nose plus googly eyes. And he’s lying next to some gold foil wrapped chocolate coins for his loot.

Red poppy pot.

I painted on the red poppy with some water mixed with dried underglaze, going for a kind of watercolor effect. The black center is just super tiny brush strokes. Then clear glaze on top.

Maybe next time I’ll do a California poppy.

A shorter handle less tumbler — white bisque with a red poppy and black wispy center painted on with underglaze and clear glaze over it. It’s sitting on a pottery glazing wheel and there’s an antique sideboard behind it with a stack of cookbooks on top. And diamond paned windows behind. Photo by me.

Everyone who can should foster kittens at some point or another.
A tiny orange kitten sleeping in the clear plastic lid to a rotisserie chicken container on top of a barely visible digital scale. He went to sleep after his weigh-in for the day.

Here’s a wider shot with Jack and his siblings Elizabeth Swann and Calypso.

We fostered all three and kept Jack.
Three black kittens sitting on someone’s lap (me) with faded blue jeans on. View is looking down on the kittens from above. Two of the kittens have pink lipstick marks to differentiate them for health tracking purposes (weight and meds) while we fostered them.

Post a pic of when your pet was little.

This is Jack (Sparrow) in 2021.
