Without downloading new pics, describe your gender:
A very roundy raccoon with the words "it is i".

David would get this in a text from his bf, Walker, then give himself a headache laughing. He would try to explain it to Pen, but since she didn't grow up drinking that unholy green concoction, she'd just shake her head and walk away. #Novmemeber

Is Viktor upside-down today? No. He's a bookends. (Featuring Zephyr on the left.) #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky
Two tubby tabbies sitting on the floor in almost identical positions. Zephyr has her tail curled out behind her, and Viktor has his tail crawled around his feet. Their ears are pointing in the same direction, which is actually another difference because they're facing in opposite directions.

Is Viktor upside-down today? No. He's mrrping in a specific tone (asking to be pet). #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky
A black and brown tabby looking up at the camera earnestly. He looks like a fine young gentleman who would never do anything wrong in his entire life. His looks are a lie.

Good thing I have a lot of books... trying to get my new carpet mat to lay flat on the floor of my home office would be impossible otherwise.
A clear plastic mat lying on top of brown carpet with many many books piled on top of it. Too many to name.

Is Viktor upside-down today? Kinda (a story in three parts) #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky
A black and brown tabby seen from above laying with his belly exposed and his paws up on the back of a pillow. The same tabby in the same position seen from a different angle. Decadence oozes off of this cat. A picture of space heater that I forgot I left on while I was upstairs that is pointed at the cat that you saw in the last two pictures.

Zephyr is a gold medalist at "sticky outy leggy."
A tricolor tabby laying on a tan pillow mostly in a circle but her back leg is sticking out. It is ridiculous and therefore adorable.

My new (retail therapy) door mat has arrived.
A doormat with the words "Welcome! Everything is fine." in the same font as The Good Place. There is a tricolored tabby sniffing it.

From *Getting My Goat*:

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want!
Chapter One "Esther still has some almond croissants if you hurry," my landlord and neighbor greeted me when I opened my front door that morning.

A black and brown tabby laying on his back with his front paws tucked up against his body and his back ha's stretched out.

My other piano instructor is nowhere to be found.
The picture shows a piece of blue fabric that has a silver mandala printed on it. It is spread over a couch and there is a suspiciously cat sized lump under the fabric.

Piano instructor was late for my lesson and thinks he's allowed to be grumpy.
A black and brown tabby, sitting on a striped carpet next to a piano bench, looking up at the camera with a very discontented look on his face.

It's the time of year where I start feeling Very Jewish and want to be loud about it.
A snowman with a red scarf set up to look like a globe of our planet. Three drawn snow flakes. Then the words: "The reason for the season is axial tilt."

Post a bird announcing Dick Cheney is dead 🪶 (picture isn't mine)
A full grown male cassowary - dinosaur looking bird with a horn head and bright blue cheeks - is looking straight into the camera and screaming.

The Jenny and the Cat Club books (there's a bunch) were reissued recently.
Cover of Esther Averill's book, Jenny and the Cat Club. There is a black cat in a red scarf skating in front of a crowd of cats.

Is Viktor upside-down today? Yes. #CatSky
A black and brown tabby is laying on his back with his paws all tucked up. His head is curled to the side and he's looking up at the camera. A close up of the same cat as last one, but just showing his face and his front paws.

Is Viktor upside-down today? Yes. #CatSky
A black and brown tabby is laying on his back with his belly showing his belly spotted. And you kind of want to rub your face in it. Which might be a problem.

Hans von Aachen's "St. George Slaying the Dragon" is going to come up because Hans promised Pen he wouldn't reveal the existence of dragons, but the scaly one in this painting looks an awful lot like Pen did when she was a teenager. #PlotTober #PutEffortIntoTheAltText
The subject of the painting is a man in armor astride a white horse who somehow has three of its four legs in the air. They are over a brown and red dragon. The man is shoving his lance through the dragon's head from the mouth through the back. In the background, there's a figure in a cave waving towards the man and horse. Strangely again, the horse is the only one looking at the viewer and it's expression seems to say 'can you believe this shit?' The style is representative and the colors are beautiful. There is a sense of movement in everything, even the clouds up in the sky. But I can't stop looking at the horse's face.

post a perfect album from 1989 that somehow didn't make it into @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social
(Give me all the shit you want, but this is a good album.)
The cover of Garth Brooks' self titled debut.

Post something random or you'll have an awful November.
Two pictures of a raccoon, overlapped like an 80s yearbook picture, with the words "No, I will not elaborate because I have no idea what I just said."
