Video description: four small kittens romp and play with a large strip of brown packing paper atop a gray fuzzy blanket. They pounce and chase each other. They are at peak kitten.

My friend told me that I wasn’t kittening hard enough earlier in the game, so I brought out the big guns: crinkly paper! It appears to be working!

It would’ve been funnier to have a walk off walk, but I’ll take a base hit

Ok, so maybe it’s a matter of volume. Like, maybe if more M’s fans hire Etsy witches then we can break the duel.

My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

Can’t help but think a lot about this man today, too. Most of us grew up and fell in love with this team in large part because of him. He’d love this team so much 💙

My #fosterkittens are down to support Toes…if they can manage to get out of their soup bowl 😂

Four tiny kittens are in a bowl shaped cuddle bed that sticks off the side of a cat tower. Clockwise from top left, they are a seal point, a tuxedo, a tortoiseshell, and a voiding. They are somewhat blurry, and it is difficult to tell where one kitten starts in another one stops. They are in a jumble of a cuddle puddle, but they are super cozy.

I have no idea, but it’s possible.

Erica Layton @snarica.bsky.social · 3d

I totally get that, it just took me back for a second 😂

I worked at Spirit Halloween years ago during the Occupy Wall Street protests. A group came in to get a bunch of costumes to make them look like the Monopoly Man, then realized how much it would cost and left me with a cart full of things that I had to put back. 🧐🤪
