I took this great photo of Señora hosting a slumber pawty (not pictured: three additional cat toys, of which one is Batly, by her feet) and she proceeded to wake up, walk to me, boop my face, and sit by my leg
When you are reading a history of American communism and your cat says, let's share
In the contest of who loves DDL most in this house, it's pretty close to a dead heat
One magical thing about Señora and the bond we have is, if she is settled somewhere cozy that's not with me and I catch her eye or talk to her, she will get up and cuddle with me instead
Señora's mother took the big AC out of the box to install it this week and this means that Señora has more room in the box to use as a fort for the summer (off season, she carved a hole in the box to slide into)
Look, I know it was a long time ago, but it will never cease to amaze me that Kenneth Branagh fumbled the hot feminist phenomenon that is Emma Thompson (who remains pro-trans when the woman he left her for is not); also she bagged Greg Wise
Add this incredible shot of Adèle Haenel at a feminist rally in Paris in 2022 to the pantheon of great moments in protest
Señora is a wonderful role model especially where relaxation is concerned
Me when people are discussing the once in a lifetime talent of DDL
Señora used to live on the street, and now she has a favorite windowsill from which to happily watch the world go by with her foot on her very own DDL pillow
Johnny Knoxville shared this gorgeous photo on his Insta of the Jackass float at WeHo Pride. Seeing Johnny Knoxville proudly waving the trans flag is so important to me.
This is a cat checkpoint. Please relinquish your most recent cat pic on your device.
The sweetest pea; thirty seconds after I took this, she climbed the kitty stairs to sit with me
Now THIS is a lineup! Tom Morello bringing together JOAN BAEZ, Springsteen, Dropkick Murphys, Brittany Howard, Cypress Hill, and more for the Power to the People festival
A couple of the times I cried in Silent Friend were because Tony Leung is still such a smokeshow
Sometimes you plan to write at your desk but you have to stay on the bed because this is happening there
Doing plagiarism is shady as hell, but this part of NPR's story about Barkan's plagiarism is so funny
I only have one cat, but she likes to snuggle on my chest every day and every night, and it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done
