I think today was the first time we’ve broken 100°F (38°C). But making it to July 22 without a 100°F+ day is almost a miracle. I’m counting my blessings that I have an inside to go to.

Text from WTForecast:
“The fucking heat index is currently somewhere between OMG and WTF.”

Current conditions at Austin, Texas, on July 22, 2026 at 9:21 PM. The current temperature is 96°F, the low is forecast to be 81°F, and the “feels like” temperature is 107°F.

Current conditions in Austin, Texas, on July 22, 2026. It is currently 96°F with a “feels like“ temperature of 107°F. Read that again. The humidity is 50%, and the dewpoint is 74°. The wind is a hair-whipping 1 mph ENE.

Daily forecast for Austin, Texas, for Wednesday, July 27 through Friday, July 31. All the forecast high temperatures are in the high 90°F range, and many of the lows are above 80°F. That high low is dangerous and what kills people. I hope someone is helping the unhoused stay cool.

Happy Independence Day, all y’all! I just found out that a relative signed the Declaration of Independence: Arthur Middleton, rep. from South Carolina in the Second Continental Congress. Who knew I was descended from a Founding Father! Be safe out there, y’all—and keep your pets indoors!

It’s officially that time of year when all I do is complain about the weather.

Happy Annabelle’s Gotcha Day to all who celebrate! This little punk showed up on my doorstep nine years ago today. I neither wanted nor needed a cat at that messy time in my life, but she wormed her way into my heart and become the love of my life. Now I can’t imagine my life without her. 🧡

Four portraits of my orange and white kitty, Annabelle

I may or may not be back. I didn’t mean to stay away so long; I just haven’t had anything much to say. I’ve missed y’all a lot, though, so here I am! Here’s a portrait from Annabelle’s last professional photo session to say sorry.

Grammar nerd alert!

“Old-timey” painting of three men sitting at a table and writing. These are the speech bubbles over their heads:

Man #1: Quick question. Is it “for fucks sake” or “for fuck sake”? It’s for a work email, so it has to sound professional.

Man #2: Neither: It's "for fuck's sake"; the sake is on behalf of the fuck, so you need a possessive.

Man #3: It should have an apostrophe to show possessive. The REAL question is whether it should be "for fuck's sake" or "for fucks' sake.” Is it for the sake of ALL the fucks or just this fuck in particular?

I’m back. What’d I miss?

Just for fun, here she is (via AI) trying to steal your soul.

Here’s a little AI portrait I did of Annabelle and Charlotte a while back, and one of Annabelle and Roo (AI was less sophisticated back then, but all these ladies are still adorable.)

Double-slit experiment #SUPERNERD #Caturday

Room with expanse of tan carpet (with random items on the right side that are not relevant to this painful attempt at a joke). There are two strips—or slits—of sunlight coming through windows outside of the frame. The slits are approximately 6 inches wide and a yard long, and are side-by-side lengthwise from the camera. The sun only shines through these windows in the fall when the sun is lower. My fluffy orange and white kitty basks in the sunlight of the top slit. (Her image is blown out because she’s so much brighter than the rest of the scene but I don’t have the photo software to fix it). “Double-slit experiment” is a physics thing.😹 It proves that things are changed merely from being looked at.

Dear summer, FUCK OFF.

Current weather in Austin, Texas.
The current temperature is 85°F, down from a high of 94°F, with a “feels like” temperature of 87°F. Allegedly, it’s supposed to get down to 66°F tonight, but I don’t believe it.

Forecast for Austin, Texas. All but one of the highs is above 80°F. There is almost no rain in the forecast. Thankfully most of the lows are forecast to be under 70°F. Small comfort. It’s fucking OCTOBER.

Me communing with Pesto. I’m imagining ALL of us doing the same, loving on her and being mugged for cookies☺️ and just feeling her powerful presence. I hope our big gorl can feel all our good vibes & healing thoughts & especially our love (and orders to the EPM meds to kick that protozoan’s ass). 🧡🧡🧡

A huge gorgeous Belgian draft horse, Pesto, in the barn she rules over. She’s a reddish lightish brown with a long blonde mane. A white lady is petting her, but Pesto is more interested in cookies. The lady is 5’5” but her head doesn’t even reach Pesto’s back.

Perfect prompt for #Caturday! Annabelle would like to get in on the action, but of course she has to be extra extra. cc: @lindaforfar2.bsky.social

My fluffy, orange and white kitty, Annabelle, with her legs stretched out in front of her, her eyes closed sleepily. She’s sitting on an elderly pillow, which was headed for the bin when she took it over.

My fluffy orange and white kitty, Annabelle, on my bed. The bed has a kind of minimalist look with a woodheadboard and footboard (the only thing remotely minimalist in my house). She’s lying on the fitted sheet that stretched across the mattress. The sheet is is a lovely “Carolina” blue (Pantone 297-C, more or less), gazing pensively out the window. The light coming in is so bright that the irises of her golden eyes are slits. Her little paws, which are orange with white toes, are crossed daintily in front of her, draped across the end of the bed.

She is lying on the fitted sheet because she was helping me make the bed. I guess she decided that the rest of the covers could fuck off.

My fluffy orange and white kitty, Annabelle, lying on the back of a pale blue couch. Her right front leg is dangling down the (stage-)right of the cushion, while the other hangs off the other side. She looks slightly crazed, which she probably was, perhaps chasing an invisible foe.

My fluffy orange and white kitty, Annabelle, lying on her back on a cardboard box that has seen better days. The box is in front of a French door, and there is random stuff around the scene that she is 100% responsible for. Her pose is inexplicable: her tummy is horizontal, and one back foot is curled like a little fist, the other sort of lolling to the side. Her head is sideways, twisting to the right, and her front paws are stretched out in a couple of directions that seem unrelated to the rest of her body. She does not look like a cat, but rather some misassembled creature whose species is a mystery. Perhaps she is a Flerken.

Reminds me of this little tart

Orange and white fluffy cat, Annabelle, draped elegantly across the back cushions of a pale blue couch. One front leg dangles languidly down the back of the couch. Annabelle looks either pensive or in need of treats. I guess both things can be true.

Here’s the paper towel I used with alcohol to wipe it off. Besides being kinda gross, does it count?

Shrimp is here to remind you there are other ways to donate. The picture on the left is Shrimp as he would have you believe he really is—calm and demure. Don’t let him fool you. The photo on the right is Shrimpy’s real, honest and true spicy self. Online: squirrelwood.org/donate Venmo: Crouton-SES

Shrimp, a dark brown horse, with his head poking out of his stall gate to look at you. Something about him seems off.

Ah, there we go. The real and true Shrimpy, his head turned sideways as he grins like the kook he is. I love him.

Gorgeous, endlessly entertaining Pesto is more than happy to put her famous Needs aside momentarily to save the sanctuary she calls home, @mcrouton.bsky.social. ANY size donation will earn Pesto’s everlasting gratitude.🧡 Dat ass, tho gofund.me/1e96a8748 squirrelwood.org/donate Venmo Crouton-SES

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate! Here’s Annabelle enjoying the afghan my grandmother made for teenage Chicken during my green-and-yellow phase. Annabelle’s little paws kill me; it’s hard to tell here how adorably they’re curled around the fold of the afghan. *please note her little chicken toy

Floofy orange-and-white kitty, Annabelle. She is a pretty pretty princess. She is lying across a folded green-and-yellow crocheted afghan, a gift from my grandmother (who also taught baby Chicken to crochet), her little white paws peeking out from under her white chest hair. She’s looking up at god-knows-what (“cats can see things we can’t”) with her clear golden eye. The afghan is atop a bedspread with a boho-type print in muted blues, greens, turquoises, and a little yellow. The afghan doesn’t “match” as it’s much brighter yellow and green, but it still goes. And it makes me really happy. Even happier to see how much Annabelle loves it. Her great-grandmother would love that.

Sleepy cat with eyes closed, gazing into space heater with its feet on the heater’s base. The text over the cat reads, “Me trying to deal with challenges in life.” The heater text says, “Cheese.”

I whiffed this alt text. Apologies. I clearly haven’t met my cheese quota for the day.

I blame lack of sleep for my failure to include photos.

Photo of the blob fish in its natural habitat, on the ocean floor. It is quite handsome, looking more like a cross between a tadpole and a toad, nothing like the blobby shape we see when pictures are taken of it at sea level.

Photo of a barreleye fish, who lives in the deep ocean. It’s shaped a bit like a submarine, and most of its head is transparent, with tubular eyes that angle upward to better see upward into the sea above

Bad. Send cool stuff and/or cute animal pics. I’ll start. (But seriously. Bad.)

My fluffy orange-and-white kitty, Annabelle. She is lying on a yellow-and-green crocheted afghan that my grandmother made for me.

I don’t know if those hyphens should be there. But look how cute Annabelle is!

Wad of Cat™️

An orange, furry object on the back cushion
of a couch. The cushion is squished down in the middle like something has squashed it. On closer observation, it appears it MAY be a cat.

This is from the comments. Don’t say you weren’t warned.😹

Still of the album cover of The Who’s album “Who’s Next.” The band members are zipping up their trousers as they walk away from a “monolith” in a barren landscape (really a concrete piling on a slag heap), on which they’ve all just pissed.

AI generated nonsense using the prompt
“chicken in the style of golden age comics.” A rooster wearing a Superman shirt is using his HUMAN fingers to type on what may be a futuristic telephone while reading a comic book.Behind him, a distressed woman lies in bed, holding what may be telephone receivers, one in each hand. There’s a speech bubble over her head but it contains illegible scratching instead of words. It’s completely unhinged and inexplicable. I think I’d like to make a movie out of it.

Chicken Grrl@chickengrrl· Jul 21

No cheating. Post the last picture or video of your pet! I don’t know what this is. It looks like someone disassembled a cat and put it back together.

Weird picture of my floofy orange and white kitty, Annabelle. She is lying on her back, full tummy showing, feet splayed out. She’s lengthwise here with her back feet pointed toward the camera. She looking curiously at the camera over her round body.
