What the Trump administration did probably wasn’t ‘illegal’ (for US law anyway, unclear about international law but the US has never cared about that…) but it was definitely insane. The effects of this & the rest of what we’re doing will decay us, will rot us, and will ruin us.

Does this wheel make my fluff look big?

A fluffy, long-haired grey and white Maine Coon cat named Sully is lying down and napping at the very bottom of a large, black circular cat exercise wheel. He is using the fitness equipment as a cozy, curved bed.

"These towels lack sufficient floof. I’ve scheduled a 4-hour infusion sesh to fix the problem. You can thank me later." #QualityControl #MaineCoonDuty #CatsOfBluesky #WorkingHard #NotSupposedToBeHere
A large, fluffy Maine Coon cat named Sully sits perched atop a stack of folded dark towels on a polished chrome bathroom train rack. He is positioned directly in front of a bright window, creating a silhouette effect that highlights his thick, long fur and pointed ears. Sully looks directly toward the camera with a calm but defiant expression. To the right, a potted pothos plant hangs near the window, and a dark shower curtain is visible on the left.

I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.

Unless you need advice on how to use your dad’s diamond mine money to help overstay your visa and then work in the US, and buy the work of others but claim it’s your own genius, and be shockingly racist & incurious & cruel, never listen to a word Elon Musk says about anything

This kid is the real thing - an offensive gem. I hope that, at some point, comparisons to Brady stop and it's simply "Drake Maye." Or, better yet, they compare others to him. #Patriots #DrakeMaye

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is the third quarterback in team history to throw for 4,000 passing yards in a single season.

The other Patriots QBs to accomplish this? Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe 🔥

A majestic, long-haired Maine Coon cat with silver and black tabby fur sits regally in a doorway. The cat, Sully, has a thick, white ruff around its neck and a long, bushy tail extending across the dark slate floor. He's looking off to the side with alert, yellow-green eyes. In the dimly lit background inside the house, Frankie is partially visible, sitting and looking in the same direction. The interior features dark wood floors, a white wainscoted wall, and a large Roman numeral clock on a dark gray wall.

I am no longer listening to or supporting any journalist who sits there while the president insults and demeans one of their colleagues. Get a spine or go away.

Courage only counts if you use it when it’s courageous to use it. Otherwise it’s cowardice wrapped in excuses

My pharmacy is better than your pharmacy. #ALTtext #pharmacy #support
This is a close-up photograph of nine different sized prescription medicine bottles stacked on a shelf. The bottles are typically opaque orange or amber plastic with white labels. Personal identifying information on the labels has been partially obscured by white, digital masking. The photo features handwritten notes and doodles on the labels of the middle bottles: One central bottle has "Love you :)" written in purple ink. Other labels have small purple heart symbols and smiley faces drawn on them. The visible information suggests the contents include medications like Gabapentin 100 mg Capsule and Topiramate 25 mg Tablet.

A person is not a people. If you are saying ‘them’ for the actions of ‘him’, you are wrong.
And inevitably when the mob expands, ‘them’ will include ‘you’. And it will be too late for us all.

Sully & Frankie forgot Mama's "rest & recovery" order; threw an impromptu, all-night music fest. After hosting a literal rave yesterday & through the night, the two little mischief-makers have finally crashed & are now sleeping the afternoon away. #cats #catsofbluesky #caturday #mainecoon #vermont
A top-down view of our long-haired, dark tabby/Maine Coon cat Frankie lying on his back on a light-colored carpet, stretching one paw out. He is next to a woven wicker basket and under a warm honey colored, pine coffee table.

"I'm not a lap cat. I'm not a LAP cat. I'm NOT a lap cat. I'm only doing til Mama is feeling better." (Buries face in blanket and falls promptly asleep.) #ALTtext #caturday #catsofbluesky #mainecoon #cats #petsofbluesky #SAVR #cardiology #aorticstenosis #openheart #Dartmouth #vermont
Close-up profile of Frankie, the majestic, long-haired, dark brown tabby - Maine Coon mix, nestled comfortably on a pale mocha-colored furry blanket. He is looking off to the right with a dignified expression, while Mama's hand is visible, gently supporting his chest. The background shows soft indoor lighting, white curtains, and some simple wall decor, including framed pictures and a small shelf with plants.

"Mama, how long is this recovery thing supposed to last?" #SAVR #openheart #newlife #aorticstenosis #bioprosthetic #ALTtext
A detailed image of a fluffy, large, long-haired Maine Coon cat named Sully, resting indoors. Sully has a thick, multi-toned gray and silver coat and is lying on a white and gray rug. He's looking directly forward, and his large, expressive eyes are the central focus. His eyes are a warm, golden-green, framed by the distinctive dark tabby markings that converge towards the nose, giving him an alert and intelligent gaze. The background shows a scratching post and dark wooden floor, creating a cozy atmosphere.

A full-length vertical photo showing two long-haired cats, Frankie (on the left, with dark, charcoal-colored, striped fur) and Sully (on the right, with lighter gray, charcoal and white fur), sitting side-by-side with their backs to the camera. They are gazing out a full length glass door that opens to the outside. The immediate foreground is raw, light-colored plywood flooring with some white paint splatters and construction materials nearby, including a partial paint can on the lower left. Through the glass, the yard is visible, showing yellow and orange autumn foliage on a few trees and several large orange pumpkins resting on the lawn.
