Thanks to this post, I decided to test whether my cats would eat a black bean. The only cat that liked it was the orange boy. He had three of them, so we know he's got his fiber for the day.

We've had a rough couple of weeks, between sick cats & hubby needing stitches in a fingertip, then my back & neck going out badly. So we treated ourselves to the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along show.

We were the only adults without kids, and I do not care. 😌 It was an absolute blast.

Nope. I know the "hell" we're experiencing is, depressingly, real life, because my particular gods would not condemn me to an afterlife of this crap.

Remember, Shakespeare famously wrote "hell is empty and all the devils are here". Still the truth.

Hmmm... Found this 2 ft tall Jimsonweed growing in my yard. It definitely was not there a week ago when we last mowed. Quite interesting.

Any witches out there who have dealt with the plant in their practice?

According to Tegan, all is right with the world.
I sure wish I was a tiny, sleepy kitty with zero worries.
#Cats
A small cat with her head tucked against a person's arm, eyes closed and seeming to smile, her front paw tucked up under her chin and showing spotted toe beans. She is mostly white with calico spots, and just about the cutest thing you've ever seen.

Met someone pretty cool for my birthday trip yesterday, in Chicago. Here's a picture of me and two Chucks (the less famous one is my spouse).

My actual birthday was today, and it was super chill (I slept most of it lol). And now I'm going to be reading #LuckyDay over the next week.

Three people stand side by side: 1) a middle-aged woman with long curly white hair and glasses, wearing a pink, blue, and orange tie-dyed shirt; 2) a man in a graphic t-shirt, pink jacket, and a pink bag with sunglasses over his head (the words "love is real" are written on the bag); 3) a very tall handsome man, with glasses, medium blonde short hair, a mustache and goatee, wearing a dark blue t-shirt.

My handsome boy Ozzy, in all his adorable orangeness, on this #WhiskerWednesday.
An orange tabby cat lying on his side, curled up in a gray fuzzy hammock. He is making bunny paws with both front and back feet, and looking up at the ceiling. His eyes are almost the same color as his fur, and his long white whiskers are very prominent. He's the cutest darn thing. Also there is a very small shaved patch on his front left leg, because he just had dental surgery a couple of days earlier.

Quote this post with your first cell phone.

Omg, I resisted getting one for the longest time. Finally had to in 2000, after I locked myself out of my apartment & had to walk half a mile to the nearest payphone.

Ironically, I was working at a Motorola manufacturing plant when I bought my Nokia. 😜

Ozzy, Nadja & Tegan all squishing together in one giant lump in honor of Jude. #HedgewatchForJude
Three cats lumped together on top of a white fuzzy cat tree in front of a large window overlooking a green backyard. From left to right, there is an orange tabby male, a white and brown tabby female, and a white and calico female. They are all disgustingly cute. And they know it.

Apparently I deeply offended some PhD historian by commenting on this picture with the comment below. I waved goodbye and blocked them, and now they have deleted the post so my joke won't even land.

I KNOW it's a terrible joke. That is exactly why I made it. "Twink Dongs". Simply awful.

Double paws and snuggles for Jude. ♥️
Two cats on the edge of a bed, lying on a red fuzzy blanket. A black and white tuxedo cat is spooning a white and brown tabby cat, and both of them have front legs stretched out. They are stinking adorable.

Just got my copy of Storyteller, edited by @thisjulieday.bsky.social! Now I have to find room on my two shelves of Tanith Lee books!
Paperback book of "Storyteller: a Tanith Lee tribute anthology", held in front of two shelves on a wooden bookcase, both shelves packed with other Tanith Lee books.

My husband just texted me this image, which he found on a subreddit, where he commented "now I want a print of this to give to my wife. She has two main vibes: sheer unmitigated rage at the world, and this"
I told him I've never felt more SEEN. So great when your partner knows you so very well. 🥰🧙🏻‍♀️
Drawing of a woman in tattered dress, tied to a stake, with flames below and a drawing of a witch pinned above her. She has a cigarette in her mouth and is leaning forward to let the flames light it. Above her are the Fuck it". This really is entirely my vibe at least 50% of the time. The cigarette is definitely a joint.

Cosima and Nadja are sending purrs and prayers.
Black and white tuxedo cat laying on a spotted fuzzy mat, atop a yellow cabinet, looks at the camera with big green eyes. A white and brown tabby spotted cat curls up next to her, with her head on the tuxie's hip.

Fae sympathizes greatly on the heat issue. 🥵 Wishing for your safety as well.

Ozzy, Tegan, and Nadja are sending every ounce of positive energy they can muster.
Three cats lying in sunshine stop a fuzzy mat on a yellow cabinet, in a corner with two windows. An orange tabby sits up, his face lifted to the light. A white and calico laying on her side next to him tilts her face towards the sun. A white and brown tabby lays next to her, face turned away to look at something on the floor below.

Ozzy and Tegan offer a dose of their sun-baked fluffy goodness to bolster your energy, and wish you all the luck in the world.
A large orange tabby lays on his side in the Sun, eyes closed. Curled up next to him is a smaller white and calico cat. They are both laying on a gray, black, and white fuzzy pad.

May the pawsitive energy of this cuddle pile smooth your way.
Four cats curled up together on a fuzzy orange blanket. Top to bottom, left to right: A small white & calico with paws over her face, a large orange tabby, a white & brown tabby sprawled with her feet across the side of a large black & white tuxedo, who also has her paws partly over the white & brown tabby's face.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four that you know.

(Actually there were multiple Harry Potter characters, and my number one was Luna Lovegood, but I'm going to skip all of them for the more interesting characters.)

With pleasure! My five babies, left to right: Fae, Nadja, Cosima, Ozzy, and Tegan.
A beautiful sassy tortoiseshell cat, lying on a blue and white fuzzy blanket atop an armchair. One eye is in shadow as the other, which is very green, gazes up at the viewer. A black and white tuxedo cat with very long white whiskers and green eyes, cuddled cheek to cheek with a smaller White and brown tabby kitten whose eyes are closed. They are snuggled together atop a red fuzzy blanket. A very silly orange tabby kitten, squinting his eyes and looking very pleased at the viewer, as he snuggles in a white cat basket. A rather petite white and calico kitten, nestled in a white hammock on a huge cat tree. She is mostly in the sunshine while her face is in Shadow.
