Foster kitty Jasper and I are sending you love and support

Black cat laying down on a stripey brown blanket in front of a tv and window that are blurry. He has yellow orange eyes and one ear that sticks up and one that sticks out to the side

This is what I’m talking about when I say these signs and locked doors are coming to a city near you.

My neighbors are all lovely, but one is obsessed with his leaf blower and is out there blowing leaves every damn day

I'm so so sorry. You deserved so much better. I can't imagine what this betrayal of trust must be doing to you

The foster cat is a criminal in so many ways, but somehow he's super polite when we're sleeping. The most he will do is lay on our feet or MAYBE sleep on one of our chests and patiently wait for us to wake up.
I cannot tell you how strange this all feels to me

WHAT‽ I'm so sorry you and your cat went through this and that you were mislead and gave your love and affection to someone who would do this. I'm glad you're out of that relationship. People who harm pets often escalate to harming their partners

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle.

www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

I’ve been watching it, and it does what all good works about fascists should do: shows them to be pathetic, insecure pieces of shit underneath it all.

Helluva moment for MUBI to release an eight-part Joe Wright miniseries about the rise of Mussolini, but it's here, and it's as stylish as it is occasionally overwhelming.

My review of MUSSOLINI: SON OF THE CENTURY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

It's all very presentational and Brechtian, and the nonstop pace leaves you breathless.

the milk thing? he's half dutch. that's all i've got. they're culturally, and maybe genetically, obsessed with dairy
i doubt i have milk more than twice a year, and it's always to dip oreos in

i love each cat's random food obsessions. the current foster cat is obsessed with milk, and my husband drinks milk at least twice a day

Happy National Cat Day from me and Jasper. He hasn't gotten any inquiries, and he's the bestest boy. If you're in SE Michigan and looking for a sweet young only cat, this is your boy

I will never get over how this sweet boy was described as spicy by the shelter. He's been the sweetest baby since the day he came home with me.
Fostering is amazing, bc you can help animals go from unhappy in the shelter to thriving and ready for adoption

I miss my less sensitive skin in my 30s. I just restarted azelaic acid and it irritates my skin now. In my 30s, I was able to start using it twice a day with no problems, and now it feels worse than trying to start using tretinoin ine a daily basis right off the bat
