I'm in two vastly different starter packs, so Intro post time!

Hi, I'm Cat. The cat in my icon is named Dreadful. He's an adolescent in that picture, but he's now 18.

I'm a queer, polyam American immigrant to Canada.

I'm currently surviving on a diet of fanvids, figure skating and bibimbap.

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

"THE HISTORY OF THE SEATTLE MARINERS gestures to a world wherein the rules & rulings fundamentally don’t matter; to be alive amid them is enough & to make friction amid them divine. All the arbitrary rulings of a given reality fall to stupid joys, idiot glee rubbing up against deeply felt melancholy

The History of the Seattle Mariners is the first cultural object I’ve encountered that painstakingly constructs a specific, relatable history only to use that construct to then gesture towards the fut...

Welp. Looks like I'm getting on a flight in a little over 8 hours.

nbd, just sitting here looking up emergency flights to Hawaii in case the reason my mother called me last night from an ambulance on the way to the ER is more serious than it probably is.

It does not matter how tired I am or how little sleep I got the night before, if I fall asleep early I WILL be up and wide awake in the middle of the night

This is SUPER exciting. My dad had this pond built at my childhood home in NW PA 5 years ago...

It appears a #beaver has moved in! Dad, who passed Sept. 6, would have been SO thrilled at this development! My sis just put camera traps up to see if we can get images. 🤞

A small tree that was taken down near the woods, with gnaw marks along it, and lots of beaver "saw dust" and "chips" in the grass!

This appears to the entrance to the beaver's hidey hole/house -- and in this image, a freshly chewed log/stick appers!

All it took was 40 years, a change in Marvel leadership, and Marvel leaving the Comics Code behind before it could be made canon that Mystique and Destiny were married

I love the idea of how much Mystique and Destiny still love each, even as Destiny grows older and Mystique doesn't (art by @dylanmacri.bsky.social)
