We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph ‍Jérôme ‍de ‍Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped poor Felis when they created their official set of constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...
Old timey star chart illustration of a shorthaired ginger and white cat floating amongst overlapping grids and little black stars. The word "Felis" is written underneath.

It's one of them what do you call it a metaphor. It's like us sobotkas and our union and the whole working class in this country. It's going to last forever just like we are"

I feel like more people need to know that the Milwaukee airport *has a used bookstore inside it* and I spent two hours and $150 buying 18 books in it over two days like a completely normal person.

I'm not sure what this is about (the post you're replying to has been deleted), but here's my late cat Thunder, looking fierce.
A dramatically lit gray tabby cat. He's sitting with his body facing away from the camera, but his head turned towards it. His mouth is open and his canine teeth are showing, like a vampire's. His fur sparkles against a black background.
