A tuxedo cat sits on a turquoise-cushioned outdoor chair. He is positioned in front of a small serviceberry tree and is scanning the sky for potential birds who might steal the berries. A closeup of the same tuxedo cat showing a row of teensy teeth he is baring at the imagined birds he is guarding the tree from.

A black cat sleeps with her head leaning on a floral bedspread. Her paws are tucked under her chin and her fur glistens in the sunlight.

A black cat sits perched on a pile of books. She is in the middle of a big yawn and her bared fangs make her look like a vampire demon.

A failed “Habemus papam” meme in three acts

#caturday #catsky #grumpycatpope #failedmemes #tuxedocats #cometthecat
A tuxedo cat reluctantly sits on a bed next to his human, who has placed a facial tissue “pope hat” on his head. The human’s hand extends to settle the hat on the top of the cat’s head. A tuxedo cat swats a paw at a facial tissue “pope’s hat” that a human hand is trying to hold steady on his head. A shot of the same background with the legs and tail of a tuxedo cat just visible as he leaves the scene in a huff.

A tuxedo cat is draped over the side of a chaise longue that is on an apartment terrace with various flowers and greenery. The blue sky is visible overhead and the overall feeling is one of lazy contentment.

A tuxedo cat sleeps blissfully, resting his head on a copy of Hesiod’s Theogony, a work of Ancient Greek mythography.

Comet continues to be sick of this bullshit.
He thinks he could run the country better, and he has exactly three (3) brain cells.
Bruh.

A tuxedo cat’s very skeptical face is depicted in closeup…his eyes are squinting, his ears are back, and his whiskers cockeyed to give the overall impression of being sick of everything.

This is the face of a cat who wonders if the Chump administration will come for other tuxedoed creatures after they’re done with the penguins.

A tuxedo cat sits awkwardly with his legs splayed and a stunned look on his face. He appears to have interrupted his self-grooming routine to ponder something deep and possibly horrible.

A tuxedo cat lies curled up on a red floral bedspread. He has one eye narrowed and one ear cocked in a look that registers infinite skepticism and contempt for your bullshit.

Post a warning
A white text box contains the words, “therapy taught me all sex is choke sex when you’re being strangled by the invisible hand of capitalism.” The meme is attributed to someone called the Money Witch.

Irl footage of me yesterday on the phone with my good-for-nothing, “bend the knee” Senators’ offices.
Since when did appeasing facists ever work out well for anyone?

A black cat lying on her back in a bunch of crumpled brown paper raises her paw-fist and opens her mouth to scream in rage, baring her fangs. She looks unhinged.

Went to @huckfinntulsa.bsky.social’s opening last night and as usual, was blown away. The beauty of the land, the quiet spirituality of even the suburban overpass…Joe Andoe never fails to make me see the everyday with new eyes. #art #americanpastoral #artinamerica #landscapes
A red canvas is split in two (top and bottom) and two swooping overpasses counterbalance each other at top and bottom. A giant black and white canvas filled with subtle gradations of cloud, with a tiny horizon at bottom. The overall effect is ethereal and contemplative.

Portrait of an unrepentant sun worshipper, Comet the cat, for this sunny #caturday

(And peep the stuffed #blackpanther mascot in the upper right corner, handmade for me by one of my former students!)
A black and white tuxedo cat Lou he’s on top of a red chair in a sunbeam. Behind him is a bookshelf on which is sitting a stuffed animal black panther, symbol of the Black Panther party.

A black fluffy cat has her green eyes in narrow slits, giving her a tired and suspicious air. She has buried the front of her face in a dark blue blanket and would be hunched into a perfect cat loaf, were it not for burying her face in the blanket.

Security camera footage of a drooling oat milk thief in action.

A tuxedo cat with ears back peers directly into the camera. There is a small spot of drool on his lips. A tuxedo cat reaches his paw, claws out, towards a bowl of oatmilk that a person (off camera) is clearly still eating from.

I hear it’s #SuperbOwl Sunday so imma flashback to two years ago when I dreamt about a new tarot card of an #owl in a medieval scriptorium.
A pencil drawing of an owl at a desk in a medieval scriptorium behind a starry curtain. He has a quill in his hand/wing, and sits on a high stool on which a number of scrolls are stacked.

The #Furies have been shouting at me lately, and I think it's about damn time we sic them on certain egregiously unjust individuals, don't you?

My new translation of their Orphic Hymn drops on 2/12/15, as well as a Live Chat on 2/16/25 at 2pm EST.

A closeup of a Greek vase painting depicting a snake-haired Fury with a panther-skin cloak whipping Sisyphus. The writing on the picture says: Unleash the Furies! (It's about damn time, don't you think?) There are also details about the upcoming translation and Live Chat that are contained in the main (written) post.
