help I think my cat is broken, part 7486

I find it extremely difficult to care about the melodramatic whining of sanctimonious wannabe authoritarians who claim FDR was an evil socialist & that robber barons were good, actually, as they try to recreate the conditions that lead to the Great Depression

the criminal tortie snuggles

of course, now I can't move to go go to bed or get a snack or anything

Some more of French's awfulness, for those interested in why he might've gotten his current position. Of course he finds Posobiec's bloodthirstiness appealing.

Bo French is such a hateful husk of a man. He uses all kinds of racist & ableist slurs, spouts misogyny, wants to purge Tarrant County of all opposition, etc.

nightmare before Christmas tree

wondering how long it'll take Stella to attempt to murder it...

Mosaic seems uninterested in it

Remembering my precious purrbot on National Black Cat Day. I miss her so much right now

All the No Kings photos are giving me life. I've got an N95 & sign, so I'm going to add to the voices defending democracy, even if I'm not out long.

Happy Caturday! Some recent sun-cat Stella pics & Mosaic being silly on the couch.

it has escaped us, but a kitty is on high alert

Here are our 2 torties: one sweet & wise, the other whose brain is a number station or attuned to alien frequencies telling her to do ridiculous things. I hope they bring you some comfort. I'm sorry for your loss.
October 3, 2025 at 10:28 PM
We have one like that. She's always climbing something, getting inside things, doing things the hard way or the weird way. While Andrea Grimes' tortie cat has no thoughts just vibes, mine has no thoughts, just crimes.
October 3, 2025 at 10:19 PM
That's right, Stella, you've been caught being sweet

(she'll probably go commit 35 crimes 2 minutes from now, so I enjoy it while I can)

The continuing saga of Stella & her never-ending crimes

...she literally just had to be rescued from what was sure to be a suicidal attempt to get a moth on the ceiling from atop a box on top of the kitchen cabinets, like, 5 minutes ago, btw

Proof of cat: Mosaic edition + a few Tuesday blooms
September 23, 2025 at 7:39 PM
My hibiscus survived the storms without losing their buds, 4 of which bloomed today! & proof of cat, Stella edition. She's sleeping off her ordeal--she'll spend a lot of time in the bedroom or closed in her pen when she can't be directly supervised for a few days, to try to encourage rest.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie.
September 19, 2025 at 7:57 AM
Stella & I share a life of affectionate mutual disrespect.
She commits crimes, I spoil her plans.

If TXGOP wants to start playing fair, they can do nonpartisan redistricting any time, & places like CA will back down. But they won't, just like they won't do ballot initiatives (& retaliate against municipal ballot initiatives they don't like), just like their 2024 party platform calls for this

His slurs aren't the end of his problems, either. He once tweeted that women just can't be trusted & aren't good at things, & he's associated with this whole mess. I can't recall if it was him or O'Hare that called for purging Tarrant Co of Democrats, but that's no complement to either of them.

September 9, 2025 at 3:29 AM
yep. that's one of things about this timeline--it's not only disturbing, but the villains are cheesier than the lowest budget, suckiest movie ever...

it probably comes back to that ?sartre? quote about antisemites using language irresponsibly--it seems to apply as well to fascism inspired by Nazis
September 6, 2025 at 6:04 PM
I also called Abbott & told him this. Called him back to add that I'll be telling anyone who will listen that they've had unilateral control over TX for >20 yrs & unilaterally set the legislative priorities that put partisan authoritarian gerrymandering before flood relief in special session.
August 23, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Powered by People was helping pay, but Paxton issued a ridiculous TRO that successfully stopped their funds leaving TX, called for Beto's arrest & seizing his assets, revoking PbP's charter, etc, so now they're actively fighting in court.

Another thing to get around is this house rule, which
