Timmy, no! Photo from my collection. The back reads, “1954. Tim loved the decorations.”
Black and white photo of a striped ginger tabby cat standing on an upholstered chair with its forepaws on the arm. He is looking up utterly enthralled by a small Christmas tree on a table next to him that is heavily festooned with tinsel and ornaments.

hes so squishy
Mr Lover, an orange and white tabby cat, laying on a pedestal cat tower. He lifts his round head up as a hand scratches under his chin. Mr Lover, now showing off his white belly. His head hangs off the edge of the cat tower, and his arms stretch out, exposing more of his belly

People are often surprised to learn that this is by M.C. Escher! 1919. www.nga.gov/collection/a...
Very simple, clean illustration of a shorthaired white cat, sitting up but a little hunched and looking down. It fits beautifully in a square composition against a black background.

Round babby potat. 1896. artuk.org/discover/art...
Oil painting of a little brown tuxedo tabby on a red cushion, licking its right forepaw, its teeny pink tongue is visible. Everything about him is so round and soft looking.

The Demon. 1925. www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/coll...
Very detailed wood engraving of an outdoor scene. A tuxedo tabby and black kitten are side by side and both arching their backs and poofing their tails, terrified of a magpie that is casually strutting by.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are eating fast food - burgers and french fries. Green starts pulling a single fry out of the little paper bag sleeve the fries came in. It's improbably long. Green turns to Blue, showing off the long fry, which is indeed almost as long as his own head. Green: Look at how long this fry is. Blue: Wow. Green holds the fry in his mouth, toying with it, as Blue continues to marvel it as well. Green: Long boi. Blue: There is such beauty in this world.

Room service. 19th century. www.bonhams.com/auction/1981...
Watercolor painting of a young white girl in rustic dress, carefully leaning down with a large dish - presumably full of milk. In front of her a beautiful medium haired white cat surrounded by four kittens looks up in eager anticipation of the meal. It looks like they're in a barn or shed with hay on the floor.

just two guys hanging out
Mr Lover and Fishtopher, one orange cat and one brown, on a navy bed. Mr Lover is an orange and white tabby with amber eyes and sits facing the camera. Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, lays on his side and looks up at the camera.

Jezebel was a good website. Our statement:
GMG Union Statement on Today’s Layoffs Today, with no warning, G/O Media laid off 23 people across multiple outlets, including; Deadspin, Gizmodo, io9, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, The Onion, The Onion Art Department, and Quartz. These layoffs are cruel and entirely preventable. Jezebel, which has been a pillar of fearless journalism and important cultural commentary since 2007, was shut down entirely. G/O Media management failed to undertake the range of cost-cutting options it had—like furloughs, voluntary reduced hours, staff buyouts, and executive pay cuts—before laying off employees. Some of these layoffs come immediately after sites have made other hires for the same pay rate, raising questions about whether the layoffs had any forethought or were merely done at the whims of a capricious CEO. It is particularly egregious that G/O Media chose to lay off journalists whose skills and beats are so valuable to the current political and cultural moment. By laying off writers and investigative reporters who focus on bodily autonomy, technology, climate change, and culture, the company has left itself unprepared to deal with the biggest stories of our modern world—stories that require a deft, knowledgeable hand in reporting. These cuts affect not only our network, but every reader who relied on this expert coverage to understand their own changing rights and place within the world. The layoffs, and specifically the closure of Jezebel, also underscore fundamental flaws in the ad-supported media model, where concerns about “brand safety” limit supporting content about the biggest, most important stories of the day—stories that generate enormous traffic because people read and share them. Rather than rethink this model, G/O management has decided to shutter the brand entirely because of its strategic and commercial ineptitude. Jezebel was a good website, and the journalists who worked there were exemplary, brilliant, and deserved better than to have their site shuttered with no warning. Each of the journalists affected were experts in their beat, and have worked for years to develop their voice and skills. They did not deserve to be arbitrarily laid off due to “restructuring” when options remained available to G/O Media. Some of the journalists affected include: From Gizmodo, Mack DeGeurin @mackdegeurin; mack.degeurin@gmail.com Nikki Main @nlmain1; nikkimain15@gmail.com Angely Mercado amercado92@gmail.com From io9, Linda Codega @lincodega; lhcodega@gmail.com From Jalopnik, Kyle Hyatt @kylejhyatt; info@kylehyatt.com From Jezebel, Kady Ruth Ashcraft @kady_ruth; kadyruth@gmail.com Kylie Cheung @kylietcheung; kyliec515@gmail.com Caitlin Cruz @CaitlinRCruz; caitlinrcruz@protonmail.com Audra Heinrichs @audraheinrichs; audraheinrichs16@gmail.com Rich Juzwiak @richjuz; richjuz@gmail.com Susan Rinkunas @susanrinkunas; susanrinkunaswrites@gmail.com Lauren Tousignant @L_tousignant; Lauren.tousignant@gmail.com From Kotaku, Ashley Bardhan @ashleybardhan; ashleybardhan@gmail.com Isaiah Colbert @shineyezehuhh; eyezehuhh@gmail.com

Every change to Twitter is first and foremost a way to make Elon Musk feel better about himself. The fascism is important, but every change is primarily about creating a safe space for exactly one guy.
