Because #TheDustballs get to lick the gravy from their wet food off the spoon, I've gotten very familiar with telling the difference between Nadja's licks (quick & short) & Evie's licks (longer & slower)...

Time change be damned. The Breakfast Sandwich Inspector is still out here working.

The same floofy grey cat as the last skeet, having turned her head to show her fashionable pretzel toy hat perched on top of her head.

Nadja usually does not tolerate anything upon her floofy noggin but apparently this catnip pretzel toy is acceptable headgear... #theDustballs #catsky #rescuecat

A fluffy grey cat looking moderately displeased to have a felt catnip toy on her head like a hat, but no lt so displeased that she needs to shake it off...

Evie is a very snoozy spiral this Sunday. #thedustballs #catsky #rescuecat

A very floofy gray cat snoozes with her little face tucked under the end of her tail on a white and red blanket.

My latest is about the latest revelations on the failed prosecution of Donald Trump, and why you should blame Merrick Garland more than the Supreme Court.

You Should Blame Merrick Garland

Garland's incompetence gave the Supreme Court the chance to set Trump free

Tonight is our horror film-themed house party, so remember, “Bad luck to kill a seabird” 🌊⚓️🛟

A woman and her husband dressed like the keepers in A24’s ‘The Lighthouse’ wearing wool pea coats, black slacks, and vests with brass buttons as well as black bell top hats with a lighthouse insignia. The woman wears a ridiculous fake mustache and carries a plush seagull. The man has a corncob pipe in his mouth and carries a tin can emblazoned with the word ‘beans’.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

New Betty Benedeadly! “A wild ride through the West—spurs sparking across neon sand, ghost bells ringing in the dead of night, and a shuffle that slips between centuries. Time-Bent Country Noir in swirling, psychedelic bliss.” - Put it directly into my veins. cowboyspice.bandcamp.com/album/static...
