Countdown day 1425: "Might purr Might hiss Still deciding Always cute" #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1426: Not saying that I egged them on while wrassling, but also not saying that I didn't :P There may or may not have been singing of 'kung foo fighting' involved. (Those cats were fast as lightning!) #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1427: Voidboi - stately, statuesque, and creating a gravity well /riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhhtttt/ on my nip. #CatsOfBluesky

If you're finding it hard to create stuff right now, be kind to yourself. Not only is shit real fucking bad, but this is the last desperate gasps of the cold, dark season. It's hard to do ANYTHING when the world is cold and dark, but the sun will be back soon, bilge rats. We'll get through it.

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Countdown day 1429: My boys have never been fed. They are forced to compete over the dregs of the scraps of the cat food cans. Cat food cans that were never, of course, filled with actual cat food. Just these dregs. #CatsofBluesky

3D printer playtime!! Today was testing merging two designs. This is my aesthetic: functional, whimsical, and if at all possible, batsical. 4 hours ago, this combo design didn't exist except in my brain. Now it does. Magic!!

Countdown Day 1430: Cats counterchanged #CatsOfBluesky

I wanted Star Trek sci fi future, not Snow Crash

Trump issues new executive order: Only the president can speak for “what the law is” It was fun doing democracy with you.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Countdown Day 1432: I love my lunchtime migraine nap buddy. #CatsOfBluesky

Everybody posting screenshots from news articles start including alt text challenge

Countdown day 1433: "Here, let me help you with that dinner left in your whiskers...." #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1434: My mythology bookcase imploded today. My eldest cat disapproves of this turn of events greatly and would like me to rectify it A.S.A.F.P. She does NOT approve of these books being on HER section of the couch. #CatsOfBluesky

A new law signed by Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah prohibits unions from negotiating wages and other terms for teachers, firefighters, police officers and all other public employees, joining just two other states that have banned collective bargaining in the public sector.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

I have a problem, and it's called "this open bag of dried mango slices, existing in my house." I need an intervention. Or a safe with a timer or something. (They're really good though)

Countdown day 1436: It is hard to pay attention to both the "Real World" chaos and the details in this Powershell meeting when a boneless vibrating pile of grey fur wants attention. #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1437: Today is the holiday of Tu B'shevat! (Jewish tree birthday holiday). I am celebrating by eating fruits and defending my fruits from overly curious felines. #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1438: My very Midwestern cat thinks he can just 'sqweeze right in here, ope' and I won't notice him trying to sit on the work computer. Dude, you're like 12 lbs and NOT SUBTLE. And pretending to be a bag of cornstarch when I try to move you will not let you win this :P #CatsofBluesky

Countdown day 1439: No thoughts Only floof #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1440: Rare picture of the cats' human! It's my birthday, and while I have some house project stuff to work on later this afternoon, spending the first part of the day relaxing and reading with various combinations of cats! #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1441: "What's this? What's this? Vrooming everywhere? What's this? What's this? I'll attack it from the air!" Every day. Every. Day. #CatsOfBluesky

IN THIS HOUSE we believe that ALL CATS are BEAUTIFUL, FASCISM is a plague on HUMANITY, the ONLY RESPONSE to illegal orders is FUCK YOU - MAKE ME, and EVERY DAY is SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY

Countdown day 1443: We spent 10 full minutes like this. Staring. Then reality snapped back into place and the birds outside became more interesting again. #CatsOfBluesky

My greybie cat is very loudly proclaiming that he is trapped in the bathtub. That he got into. And nothing, I must stress ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is preventing him from leaving. Except his own braincell. #CatsOfBluesky

Countdown day 1444: Missile lock engaged. Countdown to strafing run on brother 5....4....3... #CatsofBluesky

"Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess"

It’s not theory. It’s praxis.
