Instagram has correctly sussed out the one type of scam I would definitely fall for
Remember that Afroman song about all the productive stuff he was going to do but then he got high? Well, that’s me, except instead of getting high I was waylaid by my cat sitting on me.
No matter what is happening at any moment, my cat Dorian is INVOLVED. Today I am making gifs to honor Dorian's commitment to being constantly part of all things
