Can I offer you a picture of baby Kaylee, the cutest kitten ever, in these trying times?

Picture of a tortoiseshell kitten with big eyes and paws outstretched in front of them.

Just realized that the cage is meant to look like a panther and am now cracking up so hard that my abdomen hurts! 😆

p.s.- If you wear bras, I recommend checking out r/ABraThatFits - it was honestly life-changing. Many of us wear the wrong size for years because choices presented in American shops are pieces in the A-D cup range. Maaybe a DD, if you're *very* lucky. 🙄 Find your fit. Be free!

Does anyone know of a Portland org that gets gender affirming clothing/undergarments to trans/gnc/nb folks? I'm finally getting my clothes out of storage soon and will need to find a new home for some things, including a few new bras purchased when I was still woefully misled about sizing. 🙃

I love how they both look so genuinely pleased and interested to see one another!

Kate✨ @ksummerfield.bsky.social · 8h

I would be truly free.

I hope you’re violently ambushed by stability and tenderly mauled by good news this weekend.

That is strange and seems either passive-aggressive or disrespectful of boundaries surrounding sharing food, willfully or not. Either way, you don't deserve to be treated that way.

Oof! That sounds rough. A fractured rib is no joke. I can understand how both would leave you in an awkward position that would make weight loss pretty difficult, let alone one after the other. The one-two punch can *not* have been easy. I'm sorry you went through that and hope things have improved.

Kate✨ @ksummerfield.bsky.social · 20h

That sounds like a perfect idea!✨

YES! Failing that, a nicely fitted suit is an excellent life goal.

I am also partial to the top hat. 🎩 Someday we'll have that suit!

I use them every night and they are instrumental in my being able to get a good nights sleep. I hope it serves you well!

If a game lasts longer than a live jam of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, i feel so bad for anyone watching. 😵‍💫

It is not easy to keep putting yourself out there! I hope tonight goes better for you.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Kaylee came over and placed her paw on the screen opening this specific post, so you have our attention. 😁

This is excellent advice! Thank you. I will look into that and into what brushes are of quality. Being able to do my own makeup well is something that I'd like to learn.

It's a very different scene out here on the West Coast and I think that being able to get all gussied up now and then could help!

Something good? This is Kaylee, she's the best kitten-cat.

Are you in the mood for beans and fluffy tums? If so, I've got the picture for you!
