Dog got me up at 4:30 am to go pee but at least I got this nice shot of Orion out of it

I need to learn to draw. Or animate. I have so many ideas for slutty little man outfits.

I'd say For All Mankind is more hopeful. Also, space race fun stuff. I did stop watching around mid season 3. Too much character drama, not enough space adventure.

There's a new show with Tony Shaloub where he eats bread. I've only seen the first episode but he's very excited about bread.

I watched it twice in theaters. I owned the soundtrack. I pretended to duet with Mandy Patinkin.

An attempted family picture, the best one I got out of multiple tries. 😆

A tuxedo mama cat and three kittens in their shelter kennel. Mama is reclining up top on a shelf, enjoying some time away from her children. A floofy white and grey kitten is sitting on some light green fabric and looking at the camera. A brown tabby kitten is standing still, but looking off to the side at random. A black kitten is looking down at the bright orange ball tower he's standing on, completely ignoring everything else.

I missed this the first go around 18 days ago. Thanks for the re-share.

Total bullshit, yes. See I just need to win the lottery and then I'll give Tosca Musk a run for her money. 😄

This is why I miss the Horny Boat Doctor show. They didn't punk out. They gave us the threesome. More shows need to punk in.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

As if an encrusted silver dress was not already a lot, it has a scarlet satin coat with a matching silver lining. There is an occasion here of which I can only imagine. Late #1950s Arnold Scaasi @mfaboston.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Tango has the zoomies (his zoomies are still a little wobbly), and then for a little encore, he leaves the crate!

"Peppers" came to us this past summer as a baby chick with severely deformed feet. We taped them with snow shoe pads and worked on her nutrition, but her feet were determined to curl how they developed (most likely) before she hatched. Well, she is PERFECT the way she is, and we love her so much.
