Operation Chipmunk on the Bird Feeder Watch has commenced.

#Caturday #CatsofBluesky #cats
Two tabby cats are pictured. One is laying down on the back of a couch looking out a large window casually. The other is standing up on his back paws with his front paws on the window looking out much more seriously.

I think it’s very telling that the standard pose for a right-wing leader’s official portrait is the Kubrick stare.
Still from the film “Full Metal Jacket” showing a character with his head angled slightly downward and his eyes pointed directly at the camera.

Feline appréciateurs of the nascent front yard fall foliage. Happy #Caturday.

My two brown tabby cats are sitting butt-to-butt on a green blanket laid over the back of a couch. They are looking out the window to my front yard where a maple tree’s leaves have started to turn gold and red.

The two dudes on the right look they are straight out of “Bill Swerski’s Super Fans.”
A still image from the SNL skit mentioned showing Chris Farley, Robert Smigel, Mike Myers, and George Wendt wearing aviator sunglasses and Chicago Bears apparel. They are sitting around a table drinking beers.

I know everything is bad, but we planted some milkweed and hyssop in our garden this year (trying to do so full native landscaping), and we’ve seen so many of these guys.

My charger rested perfectly on the counter below the outlet where it was plugged in and… well… it’s the little things that get me through the day sometimes.
A large black and gray laptop charge is resting on a white countertop and is plugged into an outlet on the wall behind the counter. The dimensions are just right so that side of the charger that is plugged into is flush with the wall and the bottom of the charger is resting perfectly on the counter, each at a 90 degree angle to the other. It is unbelievably satisfying.

Welcome to the world, Molly Grace Sloan.

A photo of a baby laying in a hospital bassinet, sleeping. She’s swaddled in a blanket, has a pink and blue bow on her head, and there is a card above her head that says “Molly.”

New sign on the workshop man door. Not saying you *will* get zapped with microwave radiation if you open the door, but if you leave it closed, that definitely *won’t* happen.

#RadioFrequency #AtLeastItsNotIonizing
A sign on a beige door with the text “notice” in a blue field at the top, a RF field safety symbol below it, and text below that which says “radio frequency fields beyond this point may exceed the FCC general public exposure limit. Obey all posted signs and site guidelines for working in radio frequency environments.”

Organizing all of the little bits of hardware in my workshop into a couple dozen Harbor Freight parts containers. Got to what I categorize as “assembly fasteners”and couldn’t resist…
A picture of a thin, suitcase-shaped, plastic hardware container labeled sitting on a wooden workbench. There is a label on the front of the handle that says “ass fasteners.”

Beautiful downtown Cincinnati.

A little throwback #caturday for you all, since Randy and Solomon haven’t done anything cute yet today.

#Cats #CatsofBluesky
My two brown tabby cats, Randy and Solomon, are sitting together on a grey couch cushion. They are facing each other and sniffing each others faces.

Cozy dudes.

My two brown tabby cats are laying on a bed in the sunshine. Both are curled up in “croissant” formation, each with a paw sticking out on top of the other one’s paw. It’s disgustingly cute.

Just in case anyone here isn’t exceptionally clear where I stand on #QueerRights and #TransRights:
A still of King of the Hill character Dale Gribble. He is holding a cigarette and has a balaclava over his face. He’s wearing a hat with the anarchy “A” symbol. Meme text at the top says “Them: You’re really going to die for drag queens and queer folk?” The bottom text says “Someone is.”

The thing is, Jews are not the explicit enemy of the American far right, at least not as long as the continue to conform to the idea of “whiteness” that the far right holds dear, not of skin color or national origin—necessarily—but of chauvinistic, eurocentric cultural hegemony…
A screenshot of a tweet from ADL's official account, posted on January 20, 2025, at 4:52 PM. The tweet discusses the political climate, urging people to give grace and the benefit of the doubt. It mentions that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, acknowledging heightened sensitivities. The message calls for unity, healing, and taking a breath during tense times.

A meme with a photo of an opossum screaming at a bald eagle over a large animal carcass that has decayed to bones, set in a snow-covered woods. The meme caption reads: “I struggle to articulate my political stance sometimes, but this picture of a possum [sic] screaming at a bald eagle pretty much sums it up.”

The irony is that so many people have to get stoned to *not* murder their family members.

More pictures from Seattle: Post Alley and the skyline from the Bainbridge Island Ferry.

#Seattle #PostAlley #PikePlaceMarket #SeattleSkyline
A view from the top of Post Alley in Pike Place Market looking down the alley. People can be seen further down the alley, including two people holding rainbow umbrellas. A black-and-white photo of the Seattle Skyline spanning from the Ferris wheel at Miner’s Landing to the Columbia building, set against grey cloudy skies in the background and the water of Edwards Bay in the immediate foreground.

Obviously Pike Place Market has been a huge part of our #Seattle explorations. A lot to see here, and surprisingly little of it is as touristy as I thought it would be.

#PikePlaceMarket
The neon signs for Pike Place Market in Seattle reading “Public Market Center” and “Farmers Market” illuminated and reflecting on the wet brick street.

Exploring Seattle with the wife this week. Already been to MoPop and the Chihuly museums. Any recommendations on can’t-miss things while we’re here?
The Space Needle rises from the bottom of the picture to the top, set against a cloudy blue sky.
