This is Nimbus. He's a little sh:t. Not food motivated. Hates humans. Likes drawing blood. Wily. Perfect shop cat. Gorgeous. Look at that smirk - he knows I want to trap him for neutering and feels this game of wills is beneath his skill level. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #snowshoe #feral

Starting this one, I didn't like the protagonist and had zero sympathy for his drunken obituary writing ass. But I was so touched and crying by the end, over the growth of deep friendships and the realization that this, right here, is it. It's all we get. #booksky

Nimbus is always big mad and disgusted with humans. Won't eat if I'm in the area. Hugely fierce pugnacious 6-year-old child energy. Constantly affronted. But so so pretty!

This guy 🥰
Toaster is the friendliest and least spicy of the 4 Ellensburg fosters with me. He leans into head skritches and noms the churus from my hand like it's no big deal.

A US Navy aircraft carrier in the Red Sea fight just lost a third Super Hornet. The $60 million jet went overboard on landing.
The F/A-18 tried landing on the USS Harry S. Truman but went overboard after the arrestment failed, a defense official said.

Security Chief Leon wants to know if I'm done with the crying and the laughing and the sighing and all those other human things so the skritching can resume. A truly wonderful memoir from Courtney Gustafson about cat rescue, community, and humanity. #cats #booksky #tnrworks #feralcats

Fostering 4 young male cats from a 100+ cat hoarding/eviction situation in Ellensburg. They are very timid but not feral. Working to see how they warm up to people. Toaster and Russell are relaxed enough to eat in front of me, and Toaster allows skritches. #cats #catsofbluesky #fostercats

Greeting the dawn this morning with Willie Wildman, Cherry the Arkansas Red Cat, Zorro El Tesoro, Pretty Pam Pinknose, and Security Chief Leon arrayed across the foot of the bed with the remaining 4 cats on the floor. Peter from IT and Squit are sort of visible. #cats #catsofbluesky

I think it's important that you're informed that the executive branch ignored a supreme court ruling.
The only other president to do so was Andrew Jackson. The man responsible for The Trail of Tears.
That's where we are y'all.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

It was very cool to be part of the crowd of allies at Brewmasters Taproom on Saturday afternoon! The angry hateful protesters didn't show up, but a lovely bunch of folks wearing rainbows did:

Flyer called for protest at Renton drag story time, then the plot took a rainbow-colored twist
Drag Queen Story Hour turned into a festival Saturday at the Brewmaster's Taproom, where the owner keeps a poignant reminder of "what intolerance looks like."

When Cherry (the Arkansas Red Cat) has a confrontation with another of the #cats, she squinches her eyes closed and bats madly with her front paws at the space in front of her. Very like Arthur, sidekick of The Tick, whose battlecry is "Not in the face!"
