Today’s cat is a threesome intently focused on a chipmunk 🐿️ #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Three cats sit at a glass storm door as a white front door stands open. Two of the cats are sleek black house panthers. One is a silvery gray gumdrop. The cats are laser focused on something in the yard

Today’s cat is investigating the bathtub #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

A black cat hunkers near the drain of a white bathtub, inspecting the space. She looks up at the person taking the photo. Her eyes are her visible only feature.

Today’s cat is just about to jump on my shoulder #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Action shot of a black cat with a white splash at her throat balancing on the edge of a narrow wooden bookshelf. She is intently focused on where she plans to leap. The wall behind her is pale lavender.

Today’s cat is a handsome beast #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky #Caturday

Close-up photo of a dilute gray tabby cat with gloriously long and sweeping white whiskers. He has pale green eyes with bands of gold. His face is serene.

Today’s cat is enjoying a treat #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Two cats, one black and one gray, stand on a narrow desk topped with white stone. A tanned, tattooed human, mostly off camera, extends their arms to feed the cats Churu. The cats lick the tree with great interest. Several containers of true are arranged against the wall at the back of the desk. A corkboard hangs above with multiple chains and necklaces hanging from pushpins.

And this is Tina’s dad, my Uncle Ray, who, for the first decade of my life, was my surrogate father Air Force. Vietnam vet. Intelligence. Took me fishing. Adventures on his motorcycle. Went up in the Cessna he occasionally flew to keep his pilot’s license Took me UFO watching 🛸

A clean-shaven white man with a round face and a cleft chin. His brown hair is in a short haircut that has not quite recovered from his military days. He wears dark sunglasses. Over a white undershirt, he wears a short sleeve button-down shirt with pale blue stripes against white. On his lap is a small child with pigtails. Their brown hair is almost the same color as his. The child wears a red striped tank top and brown shorts. They have bobby socks and old-style saddle shoes. The picture is taken outside on an open porch overlooking a yard with a massive garden, recently tilled.

From my cousin Tina, who found these amongst her mom’s things Dated 5/24/75

A vintage photo from 1975 of a smiling child in pigtails and a striped tank top riding the glider on a candy cane striped swingset. An above ground swimming pool is visible behind them on an expansive yard of freshly mowed grass.

Vintage photo with rounded edges from 1975. Slightly off center, the photo is of a smiling child in pigtails with their hands on their hips. They wear a striped tank top and brown shorts. They squint in the sun. The flat expanse of freshly mowed grass around them suggests an expansive yard.

Pushing up daisies 💀

A giant yard skeleton stands amid a riot of Shasta daisies and exuberantly growing mugwort. The skeleton holds a solar lantern on a chain between its outstretched arms.

Working on a new line of stuff for the shop. Really happy with this packaging design #WitchSky

Four black tins with white-on-black labels that read “Alchemist’s Cabinet.” The tins rest upon a dark mat with arcane and alchemical symbols in gold and red.

Today’s cat is … playing??? Probably playing (no one was yelling) #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Every large dilute gray tabby cat looks down, nonplussed, on his smaller feline roommate who is on her back with all of her paws in the air in a playful position. She invites a tussle. She is a black cat with a white strap at her belly, but she lays in a bright shaft of sun, so her fur looks almost chocolate colored. A long white string and a small purple cat toy lay discarded on the floor to the left of the tabby.

Forget “The last saved pic on your phone is your personality” memes Show us your fridge magnets!

An arrangement of quirky magnets on a steel refrigerator door, most with cat themes. “Nobody sleeps when the cat bowl is empty” under the photo of a grumpy gray tabby. “ I may not know what the fuck I’m doing, but that won’t stop me” over a tabby kitten cavorting in a field of clover. An old panel from a Foxtrot comic strip about Lord of the Rings. “Be careful what you wish for. You will be a targeted ads for similar items forever” over an old Satanic Panic illustration of a woman in chains burning in hell. A large red heart with the David Lynch quote, “Fix your hearts or die.“

Today’s cat is plotting with friends #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Three cats all in a line on a hallway runner rug. Two are black. The middle cat is soft gray. The cats look up as if they have been caught in the middle of something. A wooden railing leads to a shallow landing and wooden stairs on the left. The walls of the hallway are a soft sunset orange.

Today’s cat is interested in whatever I’m eating #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

A large dilute gray tabby cat sits on a worn, patterned rug in front of a glass storm door. He looks up at the person taking the photo, showing off the pale cream of his chin. He has long white whiskers. An blocky ivory colored umbrella stand in a Mesoamerican design sits to one side of the door. It is filled with walking sticks, swords, and a tomahawk.

There was a tragic incident of domestic violence a couple of towns over Ex partner targeted a woman & her 13-year-old daughter It ends in a shootout. Four dead, including one of the responding officers And this FOP statement just makes it all about them in a way that boils my blood

“The increasing number of ambushes and targeted attacks against law enforcement officers across our nation is unacceptable and represents a stain on our society. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal. It is time for all Ohioans to stand together in support of those who put on the badge every day, knowing they may not return home to their families. It is time to Protect Ohio Police.” Part of a press statement from Jay McDonald, President of the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police on the event of a domestic event ending in suicide in Richmond, Ohio, July, 2026

Today’s cat is too cozy to care 🫘 #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

A silvery gray cat lays on his back, cradled in the folds of a scarlet blanket. All four of his paws are in the air. His eyes are closed. We can see all of the liver colored toe beans on his back feet.

Today’s cat is feeling mischievous #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

A black cat with a white splash at her throat rolls around on the top of a steel refrigerator. The refrigerator is covered with quirky stickers and magnets. The cat looks directly at the camera. Her pupils are dilated and she is ready for shenanigans.

It is Watson’s turn to take up all the space normally reserved for the laptop (pardon the washed out, naked legs. It’s hot.) #CatBreak

A silvery gray cat snuggles on the lap of his favorite human as both lounge together on a massive king bed. A crimson blanket has been pushed to one side, revealing the long, pale, bare legs of the human.

Media: Photo Title: The Cat Would Not Hold Still #CatBreak

A photo of the upper corner of a steel refrigerator covered in quirky stickers and magnets. A black cat is on top of the refrigerator. She is moving so much, she looks like an eldritch being phasing in and out of reality.

Today’s cat is showing off her fangs #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky #Caturday

Two black cats snuggle close together in a brown bolstered cat bed. They lay in front of a closed black curtain with a pattern of silvery leaves. The closest cat turns her head toward the camera and regards it with slitted golden eyes, her mouth opened to reveal her fangs. She looks like a gremlin.

Picked up these lovely vine-themed sterling earrings for my @wildelyria.bsky.social from the @peculiarityshop.bsky.social Love the rich yellow and almost red bits of amber As always, a fantastic experience

A short-haired human with a warm peach skin tone modeling an elegant earring of silver and amber. The human has a long, slender neck and a sharply-defined jawline.

Yes, the images are broken It’s not just you

A very large dilute, gray tabby cat sits on the edge of a kitchen island with a black granite countertop. The cat seems to frown with a sneer of cold command. His name is Ozymandias.

It’s this easy. I don’t understand the perceived hurdle here:

Screen capture of the post being responded to. The Bluesky post is from user Louisa. Their post says, “But that makes it even easier to look things up! You’re already on the device containing the sum of human knowledge.“

The word “device” has been highlighted as an example, bringing up a small menu that offers the options to Copy, Look Up or Translate, with an arrow pointing toward even more options.

The Look Up option has been circled in red

Interview where she makes her disappointing transphobia crystal-clear. “I do not support boys playing in girls sports,” is a statement that is reductive at best, ignorant of nuance, and erases trans students for the sake of a sound bite.

Ohio Senate President Rob McColley (R., Napoleon), Mr. Ramaswamy's running mate, said every Democrat in the legislature voted against House Bill 68.
"Does Amy Acton agree with the liberal extremists in her own party?" Mr. McColley said. "If the press was doing its job, it would ask her."
Dr. Acton said she agrees with the law prohibiting transgender women and girls from participating in women's and girls' sports.
"I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law," Dr. Acton said.
"As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids' health and safety," she continued. "While my opponent tries to divide us, I'm laser-focused on issues that matter most to Ohioans: lowering costs, cracking down on corruption, and cutting taxes for working families."

I don’t know what they’re plotting. But they’re plotting. #CatBreak

Three cats sit on a patterned hallway runner. The rug is mostly red and cream. The cats are black with one gray tabby who is easily twice the size of everyone else.

Today’s cat is FOCUSED 👀 #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Two black cats snuggle together on a scarlet blanket atop a bed. They hug each other close. One cat looks away from the camera. The other cat, laying on top of his mother, turns his head toward an unexpected sound. His eyes are huge and round, all pupil, as he locks in.

Finally! We’ve reached an armistice. #CatBreak #CatSky

The long, slender arm of a human with pinkish skin lit by the lavender glow of a gaming laptop off screen grips a mouse on an alchemy themed mouse pad. Laying next to the human’s arm with her paws pressed against it is a black cat with a white splash on her belly. Notebooks, an iPad, a sketchbook, and sticky notes regarding game design are scattered around the blanketed surface.

M. Belanger@sethanikeem· Jul 1

It was a trap #CatBreak

A black cat lays on her back next to an alchemy themed mouse pad with a black Dragon gaming mouse. The cat is curled possessively around the pale pink hand of her favorite human, who might have been reaching for the gaming mouse, but is now obligated to rub the cat’s belly because the cat will not let go.

Today’s cat is surprised today is already a new month #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky

Playing around with sticker designs because @sticker-guy.bsky.social ‘s silver foil/hologram special is too cool to pass up. We always include some free stickers with orders from the store. All short runs. Can’t wait to see this one in the silver:
