Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

Happy #Caturday from Bearcat!
A brown mackerel tabby cat is curled on a teal couch, paws outstretched, gazing at the camera. He's handsome and he knows it.

The "goose chasing a person" meme. The top panel has a quote of text from the Seattle Times, that reads: "At the outset of the civic adventure of having a new socialist mayor, there is a disconnect between ambitions and basic responsibilities. As Wilson and her allies take a victory lap, they must recognize that three Lake City parks are currently closed due to crime and chaos, and South End residents fear a serial arsonist in their community." The goose asks "who was mayor for the last ten years?" In the second panel, the person running off screen to the left is tagged as "The Seattle Times". The goose chasing after is depicted as yelling "Who was mayor for the last ten years??"

In true cat fashion, Janeway is just out of reach. #Caturday

So what's the top public safety concern of Seattle residents, a city Trump has derided as a "dangerous" "craphole" city with "runaway crime"? TRAFFIC SAFETY. So if Trump sends in the National Guard as threatened, I presume they will focus on handing out speeding tickets?
Seattle's ‘surprising’ top public-safety concern, according to an annual survey
Seattle University's annual survey on public safety, initiated in 2015, shows how local perceptions of crime, safety and policing have shifted.

Thanks, unknown coworker, for beginning this fascinating discourse, so I can share this study with more people! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41118773/
A whiteboard with 3 lines of text. 1. "Fall Fun Facts (FFF)" in blue ink, in a large round hand. 2. "Turtles can breathe through their butts" in the same blue ink, but much smaller and different handwriting. 3. "Maybe people can too, some day! Tasuki Fuji et al. Med. 2025" in yet different handwriting, and black ink. The Fuji et al reference is linked in this post.

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

Seattle permitted a car commercial shoot in the middle of Bicycle Weekends and an accessible cycling event
Photo from a reader. It's the Tom Flood meme come to life. "Bicycles deliver the freedom that auto ads promise." Sunday, a permitted commercial shoot for Rivian shut down a section of Lake Washington Boulevard during the penultimate Bicycle Weekends open streets event. It wasn't just any Bicycle Weekend day, though, it was also Bike & Scoot Sundays (PDF), an accessible cycling event in which SDOT, Lime and Bird partner with Outdoors for All to lend out adaptive cycles for free that people with a wide range of disabilities can ride along what was supposed to be a car-free Lake Washington Boulevard.

Sushi for dinner. Janeway was not invited. She was purring desperately and trying to crawl into my lap. #TabbyCat
A tabby cat peeks hopefully over the edge of an empty table. The sushi is all gone. She is filled with despair at this betrayal.

A pox upon all people who block bike racks with these scooters #SEAbikes
A lime scooter is parked in front of a bike rack on a Seattle street, completely blocking access to the bike rack for any cyclist who would like to lock up their bike. Not shown: me fuming, leaning my bike against the rack in a completely unlockable position, and dragging the scooter away.
