It is Cat Day. Here is a Cat. Her breed is "just showed up one day". Her name is Spot. You must tell her that she is a good cat, and pretty cat.

A month-old orange tabby feral kitten squinting her eyes at the camera, giving her a humorously grumpy facial expression. She has white areas around her eyes that resemble eye shadow. Someone once described this expression as a "skronkly" look. The backs of 2 of her litter mates can be seen at the bottom of the frame, one orange back, one black.

Spot says goodnight, hooman

Close up of an orange tabby kitten laying on her back, her right front paw reaching up towards the camera. She has big pale green eyes, big ears, & a tiny pinkie nose

Oh no the kittens are now named Spot, Socks, Gertie, & Shady. 2 of the 3 orange ones are female, way higher than average 1 in 4 chance

An orange tabby kitten named Spot sitting in a Tupperware container & looking directly at the camera. Her little nose is pink & her eyes are pale green

An orange tabby kitten named Socks with a white spot on the right side of his pink nose & white socks on his feet is sitting in loaf position & looking up at the camera

An orange tabby kitten named Gert (short for Gertie or Gertrude) with no spot on her pink nose but who also has white socks sits in a clear Tupperware container looking up at the camera shyly, considering going away from the big hooman that brings food & plays with teaser wands with her

A black kitten with pale green eyes named Shady sitting faced away from the camera but turning to look over his shoulder with disdain at the camera operator who just wants him to come play

That is a cute flock! My (1st & only so far) flock was smaller but still fun. One of them lived way past the average age & was around 13 when she finally crossed the rainbow bridge & she was much more of a pet by that point, she taught me chickens can have a lot more personality than I'd expected

Oh no one of the kittens has rapidly socialized & decided she likes to nap on my lap & receive pets after a feeding time & also now is named Spot. (I must tell her she is a good cat, & a pretty cat)

Oh no one of the kittens is becoming adorably playful

A 4 week old orange tabby kitten with white socks & belly rolling upside down to swipe at a blade of pampas grass. His blue eyes have that psychotic murderer kitten stare that is somehow adorable

Oh no the mama cat let me briefly give her a head scratches while her babies timidly devoured some wet food

A calico shorthair adult cat on the right watches over her maybe 4 week old litter of 4 as they experience canned cat food for the first time. To the left of the mama is a tiny black kitten looking into am improvised cat bowl unsure of itself, as 2 its 3 orange siblings get ready to chow down while the 3rd orange kitten, the most timid of all, stays back near the entrance to its hidey-hole AKA the small area underneath my AC unit

So this evening Austin had an intense rainstorm blow through & then pass us just in time to give us the rare Rainbow in the Dark in the East With Spectacular Sunset In The West combo *Ronnie Jame Dio-ing Intensifies*

Y'all are missing out by not having me cook dinner for you tonight

A burrito filled with Refried black beans, avocado rice, & shredded green chile chicken. Topped with enchilada sauce mixed with shredded cheese, some fresh shredded Oaxaca cheese & Pico de gallo, with a side of charro beans & sour cream. A glass of elderberry mead to go with the dinner sits behind the plate.

It is above and beyond all my expectations. The team at Dragonsteel really outdid themselves with this. The interior art is gorgeous. The pages are thick & velvety smooth. My only complaint is that I'll be nearing my 60s when they finally print every volume.

If you see this, QTP with a sword.

View of the first officially licensed Heron-Marked Sword, point down. The handle is wrapped in blue leather with gold wire. It has a circular brass guard with an additional brass cross guard, & a stylized heron wading in rushes etched on the blade

For me his rehab started with these two pages Oh damn am I about to go read HoX/PoX yet again

Cyclops having a conversation with Sue Storm of the Fantastic 4 where he says "My family has spent our lives being hunted & hated. The world has told me that I was less when I knew I was more. Did you honestly think that we were going to sit around & take it?"

Cyclops being told by Magneto & Professor X that to prevent the creation of a Nimrod sentinel, they will have to assault an orbital platform in close orbit with the sun designed by Tony Stark & Reed Richards, which is being protected by Sentinels & ORCHIS personnel. He asks Xavier "...does it need doing?" Xavier replies "yes." Cyclops answers "then it will be done."

Life in this country may be fucked up right now but I made some bomb ass tacos so for a little bit I can just enjoy them (see alt text for what's in them)
