Features so popular they’re giving them away for free. Lol, no thanks.

We’re on round 2 of hummingbird babies in the backyard this spring.

Two juvenile hummingbirds sit in a nest, old enough that they’re starting to get adult feathers but not big enough to fly yet.

A hummingbird built a nest in our yard!

I’m not sure what’s going on in my yard this year but this (hummingbirds SHARING a feeder) is somehow a daily occurrence. (Pardon the shaky video, was trying not to spook them.)

My skinny old-man cat has exactly one white whisker, which I had to put out in the Bluesky world because I find it unaccountably charming.

A black cat lays on the top of couch cushions facing the camera, with a lone white whisker among his black ones.

My silly cat Fry laying on her back, as she does.

A small black cat laying on her back on a wood floor, four paws curled up adorably as she looks at the camera. How is this comfortable? It can’t be, but she does this all the time.

The standoffish cat has been powernapping on my legs for over an hour now and if this is how I go I’m good with it. #cattrapped

Small black cat is asleep on a woman’s crossed legs, forehead pressed against one shin and legs stretched out.

While you’re busy blocking the latest MAGA infiltrators, consider blocking @dol.gov—they’ve clearly been taken over by MAGA.

Actual rain in SoCal this morning!

My coworker/foot warmer.

A large fluffy grey and white cat lays next to a woman’s leg as she sits on a couch with her laptop open on her lap. The cat is resting partially on her feet.

Finished it. #whew

Picture of a pale yellow cable knit baby blanket that took the author of this post entirely too much time to make. 175 stitches per row—what the f was I thinking?

My beautiful dum-dum is looking especially beautiful today.

A fluffy grey and white cat lying in the top perch of a cat tree, with a thousand-yard-stare that makes it clear his one brain cell is overloaded at the moment.

The loaf game is strong in my house today.

A fluffy grey and white cat is lying on a bed with nary a paw in sight.

A small black cat is lying partially across a woman’s legs with her paws demurely ticked out of sight.

Just got an unintentionally hilarious email from the Social Security Administration. The only scammer I’m worried about stealing my personal info right now is DOGE, you got tools for that?

Screenshot of an email regarding “Slam the Scam” day from the Social Security Administration with the following text circled in red: “On National Slam the Scam Day and throughout the year, we give you the tools to recognize Social Security-related scams and stop scammers from stealing your money and personal information.” Honey, the call is coming from inside the house.

My water heater died this morning but I also got this in the mail today (thanks, past me!) so it’s not all bad, cold showers on Valentine’s Day notwithstanding.

A trade paperback copy titled “Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers,” edited by Jendia Gammon and Gareth Powell, sits on a wooden table.

$Paragraph from a Washington Post article: In Minnesota, however, there are no comprehensive figures on the impact of the disease because the state does not collect all dead eagles for necropsy, the animal version of an autopsy. Nationwide, avian influenza has killed at least 606 bald eagles in 45 states, according to findings from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, part of the Department of Agriculture. And those are just the eagles whose remains have been recovered and tested; experts believe they represent only a small fraction of the true toll.$

Little missy murdermittens has decided my higher purpose in life today is to be her bed.

A small black cat is sprawled on a woman’s lap, one front paw extended and flexed so her extremely pointy white claws are visible.

Yesterday I faced my first test of the only real resolution I have at the moment (stop getting sucked into volunteer shit I really don’t want to do) and passed. Felt guilty but still said no. (Whispering it into the void here to keep myself accountable.)

I live in LA, Starbucks. Pretty sure that ship has sailed in the wrong direction already.

A laughably ill-timed notification from Starbucks reading “This is your year. Start it off right” with a green heart emoji.

Tater has found his happy place.

Little did I know my kids were training to be assassins during the pandemic.

Ah, the dignity and grace of the feline. #caturday

A fluffy grey and white cat sits atop a busted-looking cardboard scratcher, one white hind foot straight up in the air, head not visible as he does a doubtless inadequate job cleaning his own butt.

Next!

A grey and white cat has taken the black cat’s place on a woman’s lap.

The cats have been super clear today that my most important chore is “being cat bed.”

I went and looked and he apparently is already on the “Right wing propaganda and their followers” list, so it might be that one if you are subscribed.

WTF, LinkedIn? Absolutely not.
