Screenshot for length, though I'll see if alt text lets me go on longer to full-text it. It does! HUZZAH!
I've basically been off Twitter (and its other name) for awhile now. But I recently thought about putting together a journal of literary responses in a particular form: - Five bullet points - One cc - Theme: What the speaker (narratively) did last week I also thought, such a thing would become outdated quickly. Could be online only, then, right? And then I thought, "What if my larger following Twitter account with a goat theme went out by sharing such submissions?" I mean, I haven't been posting there, anyway. It's account is GoatUserStories, and even though that format isn't user stories, as they are commonly formed ("As an X--pun intended--I want X--still punning--so that X"), it's still stories from users. So, if you're interested in crafting such a thing and having it shared on the temporary-will-probably-be-banned GoatUserStories twitter account, feel free to DM or otherwise get such submissions to me. I will publish (Tweet) them anonymously (as a screenshot) unless you'd like to be credited. If you'd like to do them as a goat or submit a goat picture to go with your submission, that would certainly be welcome, but I think it's worth embracing the Greatest Of All Time understanding of GOAT for this project.

There are two couches, a cat tree, a cat bed, and several cat mats NOT in the bedroom. Where the dryer is running. Where the cow cat normally spends her day. One senses that a statement is being made of some sort. That a grievance is being filed.
A large cow cat lies on the linoleum floor of the kitchen, right in a key pathway. The cow cat has never laid here before, and there's really no reason to do so, according to the photographer.

Truth be told, I'm off Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for a week, and I don't have have live television. I never watch political speeches or events from any side of the aisle, so I won't see it. Still, a figurative middle finger to the whole government and all the billionaires.

I was just thinking about Dolores O'Riordan. In September 2023, BMG said we'd get previously unreleased songs by her. But I haven't seen it yet. I hope we still get to hear more from her. I'm trying to find things for which there is hope.

Zombie. What a fuckin' song. ❤️

Disgusting. This isn't supposed to be a kissing of the ring kind of a country. Tiktok can have the same blackout I'm giving Meta.

Jorts (and Jean) are back in the land of mutuals, and I love them so much!
A screenshot of the jortsthecat.bsky.social profile indicating that a super adorable, socially (as in, society) active orange cat who deserves all good things, especially buttery treats, follows me. It has a tag "Follows you" where it indicates that I am "Following", and it brings little joyful tears to this woman's (mine) eyes.

A few weeks ago, I made a several-years-in-the-making dream come true and had a 10-foot goat installed in the yard of my house on Route 66 that I bought specifically to do this.

On the garage, behind Coalby the goat, I'll be getting a mural that says "GOAT YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66"!

Image of screenshot of a tweet (maybe). Author (not necessarily of the quote but of the tweet) is Alex Soo @alex_soo5. It says: "i am a party animal it's just that the animal in question is the sleepytime tea bear"

A fictional character you would give an invite code to
Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya, and... possibly a Dread Pirate Roberts(?) post-movie
