It bothers me that when Americans see the Russian gov’t attack Ukraine, they say “Fuck Putin” but don’t blame Russians as a whole, but when they see the Israeli gov’t attack Palestine, they say “Fuck Israel” more often than “Fuck Netanyahu” even while Israelis march in defense of Gaza’s children.

This one purrs so loudly at the vet, they can’t hear her heartbeat. She does the whole “stand on hind legs to more aggressively rub myself on you” to the vet tech, and flops and rolls over on the exam table. 😂

My 3 year old made a valentine for me at school today. His teacher wrote on the inside, transcribing his message to me word-for-word. 🤣🤣🤣

In 2020, I crocheted an amigurumi bone to be the “shank bone” for our family’s Zoom Passover Seder… when I had only attached the two bone bumps to the first end, it looked like I was crocheting something else.

We had to give our cat eye drops for ten days a few years ago for an eye infection. I still don’t know how we managed it. This is the cat.
