This whole administration reminds me of Hans Gruber in Die Hard; an elaborate pseudo politico-terrorist action to cover up that it’s 100% GRIFT.

We have TWO cat trees but they’ve gotta squabble over this one spot.

I woke up this morning with Rosso firmly wedged in between me and Ed. Definitely autumn!

There’s a full moon.
It seems kinda quiet.

I grew up with these movie posters. Dang. RIP Drew Struzan.

Fuck. A generational loss.

Was it Anne Lamott who said if you want to find the warmest spot in your house, look for where the cat is sitting?

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Could we send in some inflatable frogs, or does that only work in Portland?

crankycatlady.bsky.social @crankycatlady.bsky.social · 3d

I’m wondering if we could make some out of therapeutic plastic, moleskin and Velcro. Kitty, our awesome OT did that for us. She heated up the plastic in hot water and then molded it while pliable, then lined it in moleskin and attached the Velcro.
