Bryan is wishing you a delightful #Caturday full of quality naps with and without buddies, plenty of quiet relaxation, and tasty food! It’s appropriate that today is Bryan’s turn in the rotation, because earlier this week, he became our longest-tenured cat! 😺 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Bryan (a long-haired orange tabby) looking super handsome on a sunny day in his favorite spot on the floor near the windows (Oct. 2025). 😻

Bryan enjoys naps downstairs on the couch, in what we call “the Bryan’s den”. He was a bit annoyed with me turning on the lights to take his picture here (June 2025). 😻 Notice all the fur - I wash that blanket and it’s “growing a new cat” in less than a day. 😹

Bryan loves to take naps in the sunshine, as he was doing here on his 19th birthday (March 6th, 2025). 😻

Bryan can often be found enjoying one of his favorite spots in the sun along with one or more of his siblings, like he was doing here with Fiona (a tortie-point ragdoll) on the floor next to him, Phoebe (a long-haired calico) on the hot tub steps, and Joey (a short-haired black-and-white cat) at the top of the nearby cat tree (July 2025). 😻

From our house to yours, Happy Halloween!! 🎃 👻 Enjoy some pics I took of all our kitties with Jack-o-lanterns earlier today. 😺 #CaturdayEve #HappyHalloween #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 2/2

Lucy (a short-haired torbie) had already settled in on her perch, so I had to grab the smaller Jack-o-lantern Yeowww! catnip toy for her pic. 🎃

Phoebe (a long-haired calico) was settling in for her nap on a different cat tree, so I used the Yeowww! catnip toy yet again. 👻

Theo (a short-haired white-and-black cat) was a bit annoyed, but he posed for me on the counter. 🎃

Mildred (a long-haired dilute calico) was settling in on the bed for a nap, so I took the Jack-o-lantern to her. Roscoe (a long-haired black cat) also made an appearance here, too. 👻

Roscoe (a black long-haired cat) looking spooky and handsome. 👻

Fiona (a tortie-point ragdoll mix) was a little confused why I took up some space on her perch with seasonal decor. 🎃

Bryan (a long-haired orange tabby) was settling in for a post-treats nap in the sunshine, so he wasn’t so cooperative for the pic. 😹🎃

Joey (a short-haired white-and-black cat) also didn’t feel like looking at the camera, but came along right in time to snap a pic with the Jack-o-lantern (with an appearance by Bryan trying to nap). 👻

Adorable!! It is indeed nice to have sunshine again. 😺

It’s already happening. My employer put out the new plan rate info today and it’s definitely resulted in sticker shock for me, even though I was expecting some increase due to no longer having a functioning government. 😡

They have a way of endearing themselves to even the most resistant. My dad was hesitant to have cats for the longest time until a little over 20 years ago. The 3 cats they took in from then through 2010 have now all passed, but now they have a kitten, after he insisted they didn’t need anymore. 😹

Jayna @geauxjayna.bsky.social · 2d

We’re a “crazy cat couple” over here. 😹 They definitely make us happy, and we (and everyone else) need all the happiness we can get, especially during these ridiculous and cruel times we’re enduring.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

The money is there. There are contingency funds. Trump is simply not releasing it because he wants people to starve and blame Democrats even though Republicans hold both chambers of Congress and the White House. And the media will happily go along.

In the 60-year history of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, it’s never run out of money. Here are the states suing the federal government over it.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

We couldn’t let #NationalBlackCatDay go by without sharing a few pics of our resident house panther, Roscoe, who we’ve had the pleasure of spending our lives with for nearly 6 years now. We love you, Roscoe! 😺💜💛 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Roscoe, an all-black, long-haired cat, relaxing and stretching out his arms on one of the cat beds last fall. 😻

Roscoe hanging out in my spot on the couch, almost “sitting like a person”. 😻

Roscoe once again chilling on a cat bed, this time with one paw outstretched. 😻

Roscoe enjoying some of his favorite mischief - hanging out atop the shower doors, delaying me in getting my shower done. 😹

She is adorable. She has put on a little over a pound since she got here, but we think that is because she had to be on a course of steroids shortly after we adopted her, due to some skin irritation. She was eating everything she could while on those meds! 😹

Lucy didn’t want to let the day end without wishing you a glorious #Caturday full of lots of playtime, great places to relax and plenty of relaxation with friends. 😺 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

On only her 2nd night with us, Lucy (a short-haired torbie, a tabby with calico spots) had a lot of fun walking around the house with me, and here, she discovered fresh towels to relax on in one of our bathrooms, which is a favorite spot for several of our cats (Aug. 2025). 😻

We regularly find Lucy laying on her back sleeping or just taking a breather from bouts of zoomies and playing with her favorite spring toys. Here, she was getting a tan while doing so (Sept. 2025). 😻

Lucy loves perching atop the various tall cat trees we have, and she stays in those top-level spots for hours on end (Oct. 2025). 😻

While there are still some disagreements among a few of our cats and Lucy, she has become fast friends with Phoebe and Joey. She was having a little girl time here with Phoebe (a long-haired calico) in the sunshine on yet another nice Sept. 2025 day. 😻

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other.

And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

Have past presidents and sitting elected officials commented on Trump demolishing part of the White House?

I've tried to look this up but there's so much slop and garbage, it's hard to find fact-checked news.

So wait — Republicans are insisting Trump is paying for the $250,000,000 ballroom himself (he isn’t)… even as he extorts basically the same amount from the DOJ?

Y’all will really run cover for any amount of corruption and greed huh
