I know, everyone's coming at you with ads to get you to buy stuff now. But maybe you'd like something you can't find at Amazon. And 100% of the profit helps feed & pay vet bills for the rescue, stray, and feral cats here.

A black background with white text telling about the design: "OK, so maybe it sounds more like screaming than disco beats when you hear it happening in your back yard at 1 a.m., but it’s just the same old mating dance. They can’t help it, and if you try to talk to them about consequences, you just get a blank look or maybe a paw on your shoe as they meow at you about tuna. And then a few weeks later, they bring the consequences of their actions ’round to show you, and ask if you could keep an eye on them and feed them while they go off to the big neighborhood cat dance again. And this time next year, somehow you’re feeding… 27 cats?! If only there were a way to prevent Caturday Night Fever."

an orange cat with a white face and chest and green eyes and a pink nose looks up at a person who has just disturbed his nap in a nice sturdy produce box with crinkly brown kraft paper in it - in short, a Premium box.

This is a very good kitten. Look at her!

Full of playtime and purring and also a little bit full of bad poops, but we're getting that sorted.

A very very cute tabby kitten, sitting on the edge of her bed and looking up with giant wide blue green eyes. She is very pretty and looks like she's posing for her photo.

Hegseth - and the people carrying out his orders - need to be tried in The Hague for this

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a verbal directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

honestly trying not to cry

members of your community are getting $1500 worth of stuff so far that they otherwise couldn't afford or justify out of nothing but the people in this community who have the means to saying "I got you"

this is staggering... and we're only halfway through the day.

🩷 let's make some magic 🩷

last year, this community turned the most consumerist day of the year into a day defined strangers saying "I got you" to people that really need a bright spot in their life.

it's time to run it back.

A typewritten note that reads:

FREE FRIDAY
let's see what this community can do... again.

having this platform is useless if we don't use it to bring some joy to people who could really use a win.

if you are in need, and have been wanting something from the shop, post a link to it here.

if you can afford $15 to make someone's day better, reply. we'll coordinate with you on making a donation & we'll get it shipped out.

let's do some good today.

Christmas is bursting out all over Ranelagh. This junction is known as the Triangle. Some Irish towns have different shape ‘greens’ in their centre. Dublin City Council put up the tree. In the early ‘90s, the entire Dublin budget for Xmas trees was just IR£500 [€571] which shows how far we’ve come!

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs

Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 4h

5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.

"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."
