Kitty in pfp is my late Momo. I just adopted a dilute torbie named Gabi. All is in flux! Queer, disabled, nontheist (ex-vangelical), nerdy, depressive. Unusual likes: early music, black licorice, Tarkovsky movies.

Pronouns: she/they

Post an emergency cat pic!

Proof Gabi's been using the Cat Ball.
Photo. Slightly blurry. A small gray torbie cat is stretching as she emerges from a Cat Ball that's underneath a chair. She looks curious and sweet even though the human just disturbed her nap.

Another screenshot of the post from Nick Schifrin, with alt text.
Screenshot of a post on X.com Nick Schifrin @nickschifrin NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @Nobel Prize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador: President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] "Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT" 10:31 PM Jan 18, 2026 4.1M Views

Screenshot. Attributed to Deutsche Bank. Europe owns Greenland, it also owns a lot of Treasuries. We spent most of last year arguing that for all its military and economic strength, the US has one key weakness: it relies on others to pay its bills via large external deficits. Europe, on the other hand, is America's largest lender: European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined. In an environment where the geoeconomic stability of the western alliance is being disrupted existentially, it is not clear why Europeans would be as willing to play this part.

#Caturday Gabi

When I looked over, she had her head buried in the purple blanket. I don't have my glasses on, so I just saw a stripey cat body. It was a little creepy! Good job, Gabs.

".....Copied from a comrade: It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles. It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters. It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise. All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame. *It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this, so that they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts (again). **An even worse shame would be to start donating these items to protesters...."

I guess I'm holding it together today, but not in an kind of exemplary way. I'm going to drink some coffee and maybe watch a cartoon.

Almost-current Gabi status:
Photo. A small gray torbie cat is hanging out in the very top bed of a tall cat tower. Her head is visible and her chin is squashed down on the padded edge of the bed. Otherwise you can see one forepaw and one back leg sticking out of the side. It's a sort of half-thought-out cat and cat bed chimera!

Gabs when I got up a little while ago.

I hope your wrist feels better quickly!
Photo. A small gray torbie cat is lounging on a colorful, mostly blue and white, folded blanket. She looks as if she's considering being disgruntled. (The human taking the picture was cuddling her and has gotten up because they have to pee.)

Screenshot from X.com Rachael Bade @rachaelmbade X.com Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of the US military might described by Gen Caine. Pres Trump threatened Maduro for months -- loudly and publicly. And yet US forces caught him and his cronies entirely OFF GUARD and took a sovereign leader from his own country. Damn. 9:24 AM 1/3/26

It isn't elegant, but a #Caturday pic of Gabs hanging out in her little mudroom area is pretty representative!

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet.
Photo. A small gray torbie cat is lounging on part of a couch absolutely piled with pillows and blankets. Next to the couch are two white bookshelves full of books and plush animals. You can see a bushbaby and a Lil Bub.

My word for 2026 is:

Besotted.

Oh dear.

I thought there was enough chaos.

I mean... I *do* want someone to come over with flameless candles to listen to ghost stories & eat flan, but 'besotted' is just trouble.
Screenshot of Merriam-Webster video showing various words in rapid succession. It has landed on the word besotted.

I did it. I feel sick. (I'll be okay in a couple minutes.) But I did it.

Shit, I didn't get the half wall in the pic. Anyway!

Friends sent this for Gabi! Eeeee!

I'm excited and want to put it together right now, but my mother is planning to bring one of the dogs for a visit tomorrow. It's probably best to wait until they've left to start a project. It would also help if I tidied up the living room floor.
Photo. A box containing the pieces for a cardboard tea house for cats is propped against a stack of stuff. The box shows an orange and white cat sitting half inside the tea shop looking cute. The tea shop sign is written in Chinese characters.

I didn't fully realize what was going on up there. Gabs. What the heck.
Photo. A gray torbie cat is lounging in a furry blue bed at the top of a cat tower. Her chin is squished on the edge. Her eyes are wide and look startled. Or high. She looks quite silly. You can see some cute furry toes at the lower part of the bed, on the left.

It's nearly 4 a.m. A plumber is coming between 9 and 11 to look at the sewer pipe. My mother's planning to be here at 9:30.

So. Pausing in the episode of History Cold Case that I was watching on YouTube and going back to Jurassic Park & a nap.

Oh. Look at this silly Gabs from earlier!

She was curled up asleep, but of course she woke up because I was moving.

I did go outside. It tried to precipitate on me!
Photo. It's a shot of the top of the snow accumulation in my backyard, lit by a bright security light. There's some sparkle, but a lot of shadow and shades of gray. It looks rather bleak.

Adding alt text to the Trump Truth Social post in which Venezuela is "completely surrounded" by an "Armada".

Is there a site that provides the text of the President's stupid "Truths"? I have no idea how to ever link anyone to these.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before - Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 443 ReTruths 1.26k Likes Dec 16, 2025, 5:46 PM

If you see this and you'd like to, post a random pic from whatever device you're using. No, not an EPIC screenshot, Cadence*.

My dry Thanksgiving roses are still on my table.

*I do not personally know a Cadence.
