This is basically how I got into volunteering at the cat rescue

Mostly this

My nephew named him Rocky and I visited him today

One of yesterday's kittens decided we were best friends and I wasn't going to argue

Horrendous run today but I did see one of my very best friends, the rock with a smiley face on McGuinness Boulevard

Garrus is 16 today! Happy birthday to the big man, who is completely unaware of how old he is

The wind hit it (my hair) just right, it looks normal now

When I was Orpheus for Halloween a few years ago I carried around a real one but as @hedbot.bsky.social pointed out, real flowers as a giveaway wouldn't be very practical

One huge advantage of going to the Hadestown pro shot at AMC Empire 25 is they give you a fake rose when they take your ticket

This is Chili and he's going to Petsmart in downtown Brooklyn today and you should adopt him if you want a little orange guy in your life that wants to be hugged more than anything else in the world

It's Scott's birthday and the shop where I always get greeting cards had this hat for sale so I guess what I'm trying to say is that for Scott's birthday I bought myself a hat

The NYCRUNS app -- official, but not attached to your actual NYCRUNS account; this just shows race results and literally nothing else -- posed this question to me last month and I haven't really moved past it Also, horrible opsec, guys

Anyway, here's Scott and me on a pier near our apartment with the Knicks skyline in the background, let's get a "happy belated anniversary" going in the chat

So! He was doing a photo op in the park across the street from my early voting polling place. See "rules" below. (Note: I followed them but I'm not sure everyone did) Scott and I went and were fifth and sixth on line. Mamdani is very gracious, smiley, and, yes, really handsome in person

Met my mayor today :)))

Name a tv show you’re positive no one remembers but you

Not to brag, but I only fell down twice and only cried about it once I love Start Making Sense and I loved how the frontman admitted this was a very disorienting show to play

"I'm sure my books and I are in for a fascinating evening." 💔

Not enough discourse about one of Nick Bilton's most dubious accomplishments

Happy Pride

Thinking about him (Jimmy Stewart as Ransom Pritchard in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance)

Rejoined the Weird Hair Gang

An evergreen recommendation: Museum of the Moving Image is the only place you can see Sopranos logo concept art, a sketch of how Big Bird works, The Skeleton Dance, and me wearing a cardigan that I bought because it looks like a Tony Soprano shirt when it's buttoned, all in one place

SPOTTED: American Canto in a little free library in Astoria, Queens

I was distracted enough by how terrific DC, as a city, still manages to be that I only made one There Will Be Blood joke the entire weekend

I still have a few Funko Pops at work, four of them are Oscar Isaac, I call them the Oscars Isaac, and they look like this

I helped the Cubs win on Saturday by doing a shot of Malört immediately before going to Wrigley Field. Also, I am now so accustomed to Malört-adjacent digestifs that it tasted mostly OK 🎶 Hey, Chicago, what do you say 🎶

Please enjoy this photo of Paul F. Tompkins at Varietopia last night

First, do no harm

Let this be your annual reminder that in the book of Luke, we find out that Jesus's top priority after being resurrected was asking for snacks
