5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.
I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

California folks who like to drive and were wondering what to do with your holiday Sunday, here’s your chance to help save a tiny life.
This guy needs transport from Solano County to LA County (Suisun to Palmdale, CA) if anyone has ideas for getting him there before Monday. His chances of survival are best if he goes asap but I am having a baf time with my neck issues and Chewy isn’t feeling well so I want to keep an eye on him.
Goliath’s hanging in there, not pooping on his own yet but he is more alert and active today and eating for us now unassisted. He’s showing some minor signs of URI, but probably is not going to the emergency vet tonight? Fingers crossed?

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

Joe the Cat, recent winner of the 'sockpuppet of the year' award, had a tough life; he has a slight limp from when he got his talons caught in a radiator grille as he fell off. Fortunately, on that occasion, I caught him before he did himself any lasting damage, we don't like to talk about it now...

Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.
The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

Find me the policymaker, entrepreneur or pundit who distinguishes the goals of higher education from wealth-creation, or learning from employable skills, or understanding from access to data, or creativity from content. Find me the university leader who listens more to teachers than to these three.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Our two-legged Mr. Creeper is extra grumpy!
It’s been raining almost nonstop, and especially during the historic flood he had a very tough time. With no back legs, that means a permanently wet butt ...
Please send him some love. ❤️

Also, every single thing Miller says about the Lesser Races without the Law was said in America about the Irish, Italians, and Jews, and is still openly said about those descended from American slavery.

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

The crisis isn’t refugees. It’s not that one person committed one tragic crime and killed one other person. The crisis isn’t that America’s 250-year old history of hosting immigrants turned out to be a mistake.
