I’m really enjoying all the threes going on here.
A post with three replies and three likes. First reply from me: it’s a simply impossible number of cats. Second reply from bitchet.bsky.social: EMBRACE YOUR TRICATULAR DESTINY! Third reply from cat farmer: WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS. YOU CANT BE TRICATULAR. (But you maybe should be 🥲)

Oh dear, my app froze on a very cursed frame.
White woman with long dark hair making sarcastic finger quotes with her mouth open in a large O and her eyes probably rolled back but the frame froze so that you just see some red tinged white between her eyelids. It’s somewhat demonic looking. Text: CC: “don’t put objects without a flared base up your butt.”

Oh wait, Penny decided for me.

Local news blog highlighted this shelter dog who is the cutest! And I'm really curious what her color looks like in person because the pink around her eyes instead of black makes me wonder if she's genetically a chocolate not black dog but has a v dark coat.

A dark brown, maybe black, pitbull type dog looking up a person above her with the tip of her tongue sticking out. Her lips are very pink, like the color has been rubbed off, and the skin around her eyes is pink, which is unusual in a black dog but not in a chocolate one.

Report from @fenrik98.bsky.social on the road: they have gendered solar power.
Back of a box truck in traffic that says “ION SOLAR. American Male Premium Solar. Call for a free home energy evaluation.” It really says “American Made” but part of the D is scraped off.

Ugh, does this site not let me share pins anymore? Fucking guy. Okay, with the text in alt.
Crack Soup (this soup is not healthy, it will take one year off your life for every bowl you eat...but really, what were you going to do with that year anyway) 1 lb. thick cut bacon 1 pt heavy cream 6 cups chicken stock 5lbs russet potatoes (cubed w/skin on) 2 bunches scallions, chopped (optional) 2lbs cheddar cheese (or whatever blend of cheeses you like, as long as its 2lbs.) shredded 1/4 cup flour Salt Pepper Olive Oil 1/4 tsp nutmeg To start: Fry up entire rasher of bacon, set aside and chop into pieces when cooled. Coat potatoes lightly in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Should be crispy, browned and have some give when poked with a fork. In a large soup pot, bring chicken stock to a simmer and then add in heavy cream and nutmeg. Mix flour in with shredded cheese to coat and as cream and chicken stock mixture bubbles on the edges begin to add to soup pot by the handfuls, whisking slowly. Keep heat low and do not allow mix to boil, it will thicken and then you can add in the roasted potatoes, bacon and scallions.

Meatball is convinced there is Something on the deck and he must yell at it. We have checked and there is nothing visible to humans.

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
Dick Grayson suited up as Nightwing with blood dripping from his hands and mouth because he's King of the Vampires! His ass is magnificent.

The snuggles are worth it.
Meatball jammed up against the back of my thigh with a paw thrown over my leg, head up haughtily as I scritch his jaw line. Meatball looking at me as I take his photo. Meatball with his head resting on my thigh.
