I foster kittens, play video games, sometimes draw, sometimes bake, sometimes go adventuring. The resident animals are 2 dogs (Zadie and Coco) and 2 cats (Mabel and Dipper).
Pinned
Feeling down? Have some pictures of Coco being an excellent foster sibling.

Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

The normally unflappable Mabel got flapped yesterday. Something startled her and she scrambled behind me onto the headboard before turning around and putting her little paws on my shoulder, using my head as cover to hide behind.
It's the first time she's acted like she needs me and I just 😭😭😭

If you’re looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl.
I’m on Book 3 and it’s been a blast from start to finish.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Birds and sea turtles use magnetic fields to navigate and know their location. My animals use it to perfectly align themselves in their sleep, I guess.

Don't forget to stop by the bookstore today, Spokane! I went to Page 42 and picked up a few books. Profits are going to help immigrants in our city. I think @scalzi.com would approve 👍

Today's Younger Niece yap session topics included the death of and conspiracy theories surrounding Marilyn Monroe, and whether or not I could do the Johnny Cage ball buster move if needed to protect her.
