do any of y'all have enough 19th-century polish (ca. 1820s) to translate this for me? is it saying someone is from austria? #genealogy

Two lines of Polish handwriting that I can't decipher. Maybe a name (Mariya Butryna) and a place (Austryi)?

when your human mom won't give you your third treat of the day:

A brown tabby cat sits elegantly. (No she's not, she's sitting weirdly like a human? and she's very triangle-shaped and staring off into the middle distance like she's having an existential crisis.)

y'all wanna see the comment that got me blocked on a junk journaling post? i'm purple

A scrapbooker says, "I just laugh because it's all scrapbooking, which has existed since the 19th century. A rose by any other name...will go into my pages. ;)" Another scrapbooker agrees. I comment, "Then call it scrapbooking. There's nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade."

I got a thank you card today and I'm gonna cut up the envelope. That's junk journaling!

The inside of a yellow envelope with cartoon bees on the flap.

meanwhile, a local dar chapter

Some transphobia from a DAR chapter: This chapter is in full support of women as biological daughters of the American Revolution. God bless America, the greatest country in the history of the world!

A screenshot of Tomodachi Life. A Kirby Mii wears a pink heart hood and a pink jumpsuit. He's crouched in the sand like he's taking a shit. I don't know how else to describe it, y'all. Kirby is shitting on the beach.

It's the same picture as above, hopefully not a black screen this time?

Came home from work a little early and #biptheclowncat is snuggling me 🥹

A brown and white tabby cat is curled up on a blue couch. She's backed up against a gray blanket with ghosts on it. I'm under the blanket so she's backed against my butt.

this is how my spouse found me and the cat yesterday when he got home (i had a migraine)

A mama beaver is asleep, turned so that she's partially laying on her back. A baby beaver is snuggled up against her chest/neck.

i'm being very productive today

A discord screenshot from me, Cee. It's two messages sent within 12 seconds of each other. The first message says, "they're awake" and shows a tiny beaver kit with its eyes open, snuggling mom. The second message says, "false alarm," because the beaver kit has closed its eyes again.

Fully asleep #biptheclowncat

A brown mackerel tabby contorted into such a position that it looks like she's mid-somersault. She is asleep.

can any of you read the last line of this? edited to redact location. what i can read in the alt, but basically it's the last bit after "soon" that's a mystery #paleography

April 26 1897
Mr. W. N. Royall
[redacted]
Dear Sir
Pleae

and then who knows

In the last week, #biptheclowncat has scratched me on the same leg twice. First it was accidental, but this morning it was because I dared try to put her in her carrier 😑

Two scratches on a white thigh. They're both about 2 inches long. One of them is old and scabbed, and one is fresh and red.

Happy #NationalPetDay from Bip, who likes to watch people shower like a perv #biptheclowncat

A brown tabby cat sits on the floor and looks toward an open door, which leads to the bathroom.
