A two-panel meme. A small gray kitten sitting on a blanket looks off to the side, with a caption “oh no.” In the second panel, it looks unconcernedly forward, with the caption “anyway”

This is who runs this account
A black & white photo of a three-year-old girl, sitting at a round table with a tablecloth hanging over the edge. There is a plate and a glass on the table. The girl is wearing a fedora and is looking at the camera with her chin in her hand. The brim of the fedora shades the upper part of her face. The photo has an old-timey white border with deckle edge and the margin is printed with "FEB 58"

Screenshot of a post from nathancjun: The mental gymnastics to accuse Obama of doing mass deportations but ignoring that he did it more efficiently, at a fraction of the current tax-payer's expense, with higher deportation numbers, while following due process and without ripping children out of cars or raiding schools and churches is giving me a migraine. You're literally accusing Obama of doing a better job than Trump you dumb stupid fucking illiterate morons. [below the text is a photo of Barack Obama, holding a microphone in his hand and smiling at the camera]

Statement from Matt Moberg, Chaplain of the Minnesota Timberwolves If you're a church posting prayers for peace and unity today while my city bleeds in the street, miss me with that softness you only wear when it costs you nothing. Don't dress avoidance up as holiness. Don't call silence "peacemaking." Don't light a candle and think it substitutes for showing up. Tonight an ICE agent took a photo of me next to my car, looked me in the eye and told me, "We'll be seeing you soon." Not metaphor. Not hyperbole. A threat dressed up in a badge and a paycheck. Peace isn't what you ask for when the boot is already on someone's neck. Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don't want to be interrupted. Unity isn't neutral. Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons. Stop using scripture like chloroform. Stop calling your fear "wisdom." Stop pretending Jesus was crucified because he preached good vibes and personal growth. You don't get to quote scripture like a lullaby, while injustice stays wide awake. You don't get to ask God to "Heal the land" if you won't even look at the wound. There is a kind of peace that only exists because it refuses to tell the truth. That peace is a lie. And lies don't grow anything worth saving. The scriptures you love weren't written to keep things calm. They were written to set things right. And sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is stop praying around the pain and start standing inside it. If that makes you uncomfortable-- good. Growth always is.

Read this and keep in mind this was back in *early December.*
A post from Matt Little that reads as follows: ICE cut off her wedding ring. Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5'4", and white. Just in case you thought you'd be safe. She walked to her neighbor's house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to "get back." She didn't move. Seconds later, they threw her to the ground, handcuffed her, and hauled her away. She spent five hours in leg shackles at a federal building. Agents cut off her wedding ring and threatened to pepper-spray her in the truck. Her husband spent all day trying to find where they'd taken her. Federal officials wouldn't tell him. Her "crime" was simply standing on a public street, watching, and asking questions. Read that again: here in Minnesota, a U.S. Citizen was arrested, restrained, and disappeared for hours, not for interfering, not for resisting, but for asking a question. If they can arrest Sue Tincher for standing on a public sidewalk, they can arrest anyone.

Goshen IN has this police booth downtown, built in the late '30s. Not sure how it might fit in, but it kinda *looks* like a space heater, so there's that.

(I think a movie was filmed in Goshen about 25 years ago, but no one on earth actually watched it, so I think it's fine.)
A black and white photograph of a small octagonal concrete structure, not a full-size building but big enough to stand in and with windows on all sides, on a downtown street corner. In front of it is a line of police in uniform, flanked by two men in suits. There is the hood of a car visible on the left, and downtown Victorian-era store fronts on the right. Picture probably taken in the late 1930s.

#Caturday
A photo with two panels. In the first, a stone statue of a large cat (as in a puma or jaguar) sits on a platform, looking down at a beverage can sitting on its pedestal. In the second panel, the cat is still looking down, but the can is laying on the ground as though the cat statue has knocked it off the shelf (as cats, large or small, are wont to do).

Well, *these* are adorable 🚋😍
A photo of the trams on the Busan Sky Cap in South Korea. Bright blue, yellow, and red trams ride on elevated rails, looking more like a child's toy set than actual transportation for humans.

Gracie contemplates destroying the tiny Christmas town 😽
A mostly white cat with tabby gray cap and tail is sitting amidst a Christmas display. There are two small Adirondack-style Christmas trees adorned with white lights and ornaments. Next to the cat are several ceramic lit holiday houses, and two ceramic vehicles. The cat is looking thoughtful.

...also, here's Gracie with a stuffed monkey and axolotl.
A mostly white cat with tabby gray tail and cap is sitting on a cat bed. Her tail is curled under one of her front paws. In the foreground, on the right, is a knitted toy, a purple stuffed monkey with an orange cap. Sitting behind the cat is another toy, a yellow, orange and pink axolotl. Its face is sticking out from behind the cat.

This was the sunrise pic I took on the first day of the Biden presidency. Pete Buttigieg used to say "think of what it will be like the morning of the first day when Tmp is no longer president" so a lot of us took a pic like this. Cannot wait until that is the case again! ❤️
A picture of a sunrise. The ground is dark and the top of the sky is still deep blue but there is yellow and orange near the horizon. There are several bare trees across the photo as well as a columnar evergreen.

Gaudy Night, by Dorothy Sayers
“I have been afraid,” he said simply; “because I knew that from anything you said to me here, there could be no going back…But I will ask you now, and if you say No, I promise you that this time I will accept your answer. Harriet; you know that I love you: will you marry me?” The traffic lights winked at the Holywell Corner: Yes; No; Wait.

Have been saying this since his 1st election. He just HAD to be the Big Guy. And now, if we're lucky, we'll see his ass in jail.

If less lucky, at least disgraced & eventually forgotten.

(NOT that we should ever forget the damage he has caused, & do everything to keep it from happening again.)
Text reads: Trump could have just continued to live his life as a filthy rich pedophile prick and he probably never would have been exposed, but because he has the biggest ego in the history of mankind and just had to run for president, he's about to go through the most humiliating public downfall we've ever witnessed, and I think that's beautiful.

Sunday morning breakfast flight: bacon & egg biscuit, sausage & egg biscuit, & a cranberry orange biscuit in the middle. (the biscuits are miniature)

they were delicious 😋
A rectangular plate sits on a placemat. The plate has three biscuits on it: two breakfast sandwiches, one on each end (one w/bacon and one w/sausage, with egg sticking out around the edges), and one in the middle with cranberries. The plate is white with blue flower lines around the edges and yellow handles sticking out at the short ends.

"go to the pickup lockers and wrap some of the doors with holiday gift wrap"
"which doors?"
"doesn't matter, just pick some"
...
A store display showing a wall of lockers for customer order pickup. The wall is labeled "pickup lockers" but in an effort to be festive for the holidays, some of the locker doors have been covered with holiday gift wrap. Unfortunately, the doors chosen have included the "lo" in lockers so the wall reads "pickup **ckers"

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

[looks up last saved meme]...valid
A woman in a long white dress is lying on a fainting couch, her head on a patterned pillow, and is gazing out a window with a thoughtful but vacant expression. On a side table rests an open laptop (photoshopped into the original painting). Text reads, "She googled her symptoms, and it turned out that she just needed everyone to f*ck off."
