Squiggle is the toughest, cutest, wiggliest mofo around - if you have any money to spare, please toss some her way?

We've had an incredibly anxious night with wobbly baby Squiggle, but she's still with us & tentatively a bit better -- vet described her as "one hell of a fighter."

Please help us keep her fighting ❤️

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

What if the rapture actually happened ages ago but almost nobody qualified & that’s why there are unsolved missing persons cases

WhatsApp message reading:

"I can't believe how nicely they play together!" I thought, moments before Alice bicycle kicked her precious baby in the head

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I was 100% expecting to have to do a long explanation of all the ways in which he was a wrong ‘un

and then my dad just started admiring marksmanship

Katie @zizifothsi.bsky.social · 28d

Me: *getting ready to start a whole PowerPoint presentation*
Me: *deep inhale*
Him: yeah 100%
Me: …
Me: well now I don’t know what to do with all the energy I built up here

In today’s heartening news my right-wing boomer dad and I had a conversation about current events where we were in full & vociferous agreement, so there is hope for the offline population

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk “far right” and showings its readers his views - not “common sense”, not “conservative”, but far right conspiracy.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Charlie Kirk in his own words: ‘prowling Blacks’ and ‘the great replacement strategy’

The far-right commentator didn’t pull his punches when discussing his bigoted views on current events

He also spoke about not believing in empathy & I for one think we should honour the man’s beliefs

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

this is going to be useful as a reference point for when you're dealing with people who just don't understand, won't believe, or also lionize the sort of person being posthumously lauded right now

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

I can SEE her licking her chops after I’ve tricked her into a delicious treat, yet she still acts as though I am trying to murder her. She is a menace!

Katie @zizifothsi.bsky.social · Sep 2

So ANGY

Today’s weaning attempt: smeared a little bit of wet food on her paw so she’d have to lick it off. She’s now walking around squeaking furiously about her suddenly delicious foot

Like, not only is her kitten about half her total length at this point, she is also a CHONK. Alice is the hardest working mother in show business
