If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

A stock photo of a white man sitting in front of an open laptop. His head is resting face-first on the desk. In one hand he holds a takeaway coffee cup while the other hand gives a tired thumbs up.

Pippin and Merry would like to extend a formal invitation to their snuggle-nest for purry make-it-better cuddles.

Pippin, a dark grey cat, and Merry, a brown-and-white tabby, curled up together in a large cat bed under a wooden coffee table. Pippin is in the foreground, close enough that his face is cut in half by the edge of the photo, and looks inquisitively at the photographer. Merry is further back, and his eyes are only half open, as if he has just woken from a nap. They look generally cosy and sleepy, and like it would be a tight squeeze to even fit a third cat in, let alone a human.

This also goes for cats. This innocent-looking little fucker will, in his quest for cheese, actively reach into the fridge with his furry little crime arms.

A grey cat loafing on a green chair and looking up at the photographer. His pale green eyes are very wide, and he looks perfectly, utterly innocent. Butter would not melt.

I emailed Waterstones via Eventbrite, and this was their reply:

Email from “Events” at 11:07pm.
“Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your email.
Yes the event will be recorded and shared with ticketholders after the livestream so you can watch it at your convenience.
Kind regards,
Waterstones Events Team”

Wrt the monk parakeets, a favourite poem immediately came to mind:

Tumblr post by @ dharmagun, 30 Aug 2017.

Higgledy-piggledy
unparliamentary
green parrots quarrel
outside in the trees

Squawking out epithets
uncomplimentary
Squads of unmannerly
Oversized peas.

Oh dear, it appears Seaman has escaped his game and turned to stone.

A fish with a man's head. The face stares impassively.

Proof! We had the curtains drawn and the aircon blasting, of course, but several rooms were still uncomfortably warm. Cats were floppy and lazy all day, as were their humans.

A screenshot of the official Bureau of Meteorology weather app showing latest highs and lows. Highest temperature: 44.9° at 4:31 pm. The temperature listed is for somewhere in South Australia, though the exact location has been blacked out.

Melting. It got to nearly 45°C today. Here they are in a brief awake moment.

Two cats lounging on a windowsill. The closer cat is a brown and white tabby, the more distant is dark grey and slightly out of focus. Both cats look unimpressed.

Then Perish meme. Text message bubble with the text “Then perish” followed by an orange-tinted closeup photo of Barack Obama’s eyes.

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. (Died from sudden-onset heterosexuality… tragic.)

Tumblr text post.
@ MarkovChaingang: “bisexuality is just a phase, but you should capitalise on that phase and have as much gay sex as possible until it ends. you never know when you might become straight again. don’t let it go to waste”
@ EternalFarnham: “hearing the sonic the hedgehog drowning music in the middle of gay sex and desperately scrambling to finish before i become heterosexual again”

Merry and Pippin send both sympathy and gentle snoofles. Pippin in particular, as he has had many dental surgeries (he only has four teeth left, hopefully you have a few more!).

Merry, a brown and white tabby cat, and Pippin, a solid grey cat, stare at you soulfully. Their expressions seem serious and sympathetic.

Pippin sees that you are having egg for breakfast. Pippin is also fond of egg. He would like a little, if it isn’t too much trouble.

A dark grey cat sitting on a dining chair. Only his little kitty face is visible above the table; he looks both curious and polite. Aww, he thinks he’s people!

If you see this, post an image you shared because it made you laugh

A photo of a tackle box with the compartments filled with various preserved meats, cheeses, nuts, olives and the like, with the text: When you’re going on the boat and want a little charcuterie board snack, introducing the “Snackle Box”

Pippin is down to just four teeth, his upper and lower canines. Apart from blepping more frequently (because there are no teeth to hold his tongue in), he’s just the same as before, or possibly even more chill. He even still likes eating kibble!

A handsome grey cat standing and staring directly at the camera, his pink tongue out in a silly little blep.

Despite appearances, Pippin here is in fact a cat, not a squid.

A grey cat on a windowsill, sitting in such a way that all four of his legs and his tail are in one big, tentacle-looking pile.

Things are shite and keep getting worse, but please enjoy this mediocre photo of an ibis that came to visit. Long live the majestic bin chicken!

An Australian white ibis, a white bird with a black tail, black head and long black beak, casually strolling on the footpath between a narrow suburban road and a partially-dead front lawn.

Merry and Pippin like sunbeams, but they also like being comfortable, so they find the sunniest spot on the couch blanket (instead of giving me snuggles, the ungrateful wretches)

A tabby cat and a grey cat, both curled into sleepy circles, their heads pressed together, snoozing on top of a burgundy blanket. A pale gold sunbeam ripples over them.

Two Elvish-looking champagne glasses with silver decoration, in a matching metal holder. They are sitting on top of a barrel with two bunches of flowers behind them.

Face Reveal. Wrong answers only. (In high school, I once got told, “I love your new profile pic, you look great!” I had to say, “Thanks, but it’s not me.” I had changed it to Amy Pond for a “Change Your FB Pic To A Doctor Who Character” Week. I guess the red hair and hazel eyes confused them?)

A film that takes place where you’re from. (A strangely difficult task! There are many films that were *shot* here, but not so many that are *set* here. But I loved this movie when I was about nine, partly because I recognised so many of the locations!)
