Canadian who has ended up in the US, and still a little confused how that happened. My landlord doesn’t allow pets so forming parasocial relationships with all of the cats and dogs online.

What is that thing right above the graffiti? I’ve been staring at it for like 10 minutes and I can’t make heads or tales of it

Let's hear it for the hard working farmworkers who make sure we get yummy Kern County CA almonds and pistachios. It takes a lot of intense day-to-day work by farm workers to get these yummy nuts from the trees to our tables. #WeFeedYou

@lakegirl-69.bsky.social ask and ye shall receive, Your Highness

A mostly black cat (I think she’s a tortie? I’m not good with cat breeds) sitting upright with her head turned to the right. The photo has been edited (badly) to give her a crown covered in jewels, a royal sceptre, and a red robe with a fur trim.

Just might make more of these as the spirit moves me. And when it’s not dangerously close to 2:00 am on a weeknight 😸

Last, but certainly not least, is @fartycheddarcat.bsky.social Chewy the Bumblebee. Thank you @me-nancy.bsky.social for the cat suggestions!

Third in our @fartycheddarcat.bsky.social family series is Socky the Astronaut

Picture of a grey and white fluffy cat lounging on a fluffy grey cat bed but it’s been edited (badly) to include a grey astronaut costume, complete with a helmet. You can still see Socky’s adorable face inside the helmet

Next in the @fartycheddarcat.bsky.social family we have Figgy as a scarecrow

A tabby cat sitting in a tree with his mouth open looking up but it’s been edited (badly) to look like he’s wearing a scarecrow costume, with a brown brimmed triangle hat, blue shirt with purple and red patches, blue and green patches on his face, and bits of straw poking through the collar and sleeves of his shirt

Also at the request of @me-nancy.bsky.social is @fartycheddarcat.bsky.social as a chimney sweep, which I thought was appropriate given how much Cheddar loves rolling around in dirt

Photo of an orange and white cat standing on his hind legs with his front paws by his mouth, but it’s been edited (badly) to look like he’s covered in soot and holding onto a chimney cleaning brush

Maybe I stay up past 1:00 am badly editing cat pics so the cats are wearing Halloween costumes. What’s it to you?

At the request of @me-nancy.bsky.social here is Ginger the Clown! @bunsenbernerbmd.bsky.social

Photo of a fluffy orange and white cat sitting upright but it’s been edited (badly) to add a yellow clown costume with white ruffles and green and orange and purple spots, along with a red nose and a curly red wig. The white ruffle around the neck has a blue trim

"Lupita" is currently picking pomegranates in the Selma CA area working 8 hrs/day earning minimum wage. She shares, "I work for different companies and crops throughout the year. This affects me greatly as my salary varies greatly depending on the crop & type of work." #WeFeedYou

I am so glad I brought all dressed chips back from Canada. So yummy

"Maria" harvests olives in the Reedley, CA area without a union contract. She tells us she earns $5 per bucket. In 8–9 hours she picks 15–18 buckets, which isn't even minimum wage. She knows the law says she should get minimum wage, but the law isn't enforced. #WeFeedYou

Wait is that the girl who pooped her pants at a party at Kent State

Me five hours ago: oh boy, it’ll be fun using a bunch of eyeshadow and eyeliner to make myself look like a scarecrow!

Me now, after four hours of dancing and tending to an upset stomach: 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Occasionally my Halloween costume “work” isn’t just badly editing pictures of internet cats. Sometimes it’s badly putting makeup on myself

Picture of me, a white person with shoulder length dark curly hair, wearing a red and black checkered shirt with a small triangular scarecrow hat. My face is made up to look like a scarecrow complete with different coloured patches and stitches. I’m smiling with my mouth closed. In the background is a black outline of a headless Buffalo Bill Cody on a horse posed with his gun pointed straight up, and a somewhat blurry version of a white woman with black curly hair who is smiling.
