I do musicky stuff and try to make the world a better place, especially for queer kids. And in between, I snuggle with cats. Gonna try to keep this feed on the "optimism and levity" side of things, but y'know… (gestures vaguely) …we'll see.

I'm always a day late to the Maddowsphere—I listen to the podcast audio the day after broadcast—but Rachel's no-punches-pulled commentary last night on MSNBC's new lineup was, IMHO, possibly the most important block of the hour. Power well-wielded, @maddow.msnbc.com.

Henry celebrated #caturday yesterday by FINALLY defeating the feather toy that had been taunting him for weeks. He wishes you all similar success in defeating whatever demons are haunting you.

Dear people who design "relaxing" telephone hold music: Please test your recordings by listening to them on a cell phone speakerphone mode before clicking "submit." What you think is the dulcet song of crickets sounds more like a freight train on a rusty track by the time it gets to my ears.

Henry wishes you all a warm and cuddly #caturday

On a day when we celebrate Eros, let's remember the other kind of love, which only friends can give.

Someone with better video editing chops than I needs to remake this scene with a Cybertruck instead of a Pinto.

Oops 😬

Henry has a somewhat idiosyncratic take on the whole "a place for everything and everything in its place" philosophy. #caturday

It's a feeble imagination that sees only a bathtub where Grayson and Henry see a wrestling ring. (Happy #Caturday, a few hours early!)

Not only are we a day late for #Caturday, there's a new, as yet un-approved, cover on Jake's favorite sofa. It's like our priorities are completely upside-down.

Feeling powerless? Looking for a way to get involved? May I humbly recommend you consider volunteering for The Trevor Project (or some other organization whose mission you're passionate about)?

This piece just hits me in the feels today.

This is what prophecy looks like.

I don't want to say this cold weather has affected the relative humidity, but I just went through a whole new bottle of skin lotion trying to de-sandpaper the backs of my hands. (It ALMOST worked.)

Henry would like EVERYONE to know that, on the other side of this door, Jake is enjoying tuna & whitefish paté, and Henry wasn't even invited. Wasn't. Even. Invited. And it's #Caturday too. Of all the indignities.

If there is a way to successfully integrate these two items without feeling vaguely sticky for the rest of the day, I have not yet found it.

Henry is really engaged in this episode of Grey's Anatomy. #Caturday

Well (and I say this with great reverence and appreciation) shit.

A last-minute #Caturday photo of Jake tolerating Henry. (But how could you know, amirite?)

Guess who just spent 10 minutes looking for his glasses.

Donate to The Trevor Project before midnight New Year's Eve (Pacific Time), and your gift will be QUADRUPLED! Now's the time, friends!

So this is what it looks like to try to get work done on a chilly #Caturday, apparently.

He's not wrong.

I ran the dishwasher, but the spoons didn't get clean. They'd been cuddled up next to each other like two drowsy lovers on a wintry evening.

The kind of Christmas I wish for you....

In these troubled times, I think it's important for us to come together over one thing on which we can all agree: sandwiches should always be cut on a diagonal, to facilitate a yummy first-bite corner.

I give you a #Caturday vision of peace and contentment.

Folx will tell you you can't train a cat. This is demonstrably false. I, for example, have trained Henry not to jump onto the kitchen counters unless I'm not in the room or have my back turned or am distracted by a particularly funny Bluesky post.

Grayson and Henry would like to remind you who's in charge on this #caturday.

The person sitting at the table next to me in this public space just opened up her laptop and started playing music. Through the speakers. No earbuds. I wonder if she'd think me rude if I did the same thing. 🤔

Y'all. I just submitted my last final exam for the semester. I am 25% of the way through with my second Master's. 😊

I hope this finds you.

Louder, please.

A #Caturday flashback to August, when 3-month-old Henry saw his first rabbit.

Also, I really have to pee.

This quote

I know there are more obnoxious earworms (by far), but for the last hour I have had playing on loop in my brain the outro to Air Supply's 1983 power ballad, "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." You're welcome.

Grayson wishes you a pensive #caturday

Our fancy gravy boat is in dry-dock.

Me, to myself: "This is a joke. This is a joke. This is a joke."

Oh, so it's not just me, then?

I didn't know it, but I did, actually, need this.
