Happy Caturday!

If they're gonna hate us this much, we need to love each other that much more.

Why should you subscribe to my human rights newsletter instead of the Washington Post? Three reasons: 1. Wash Post is owned by a billionaire. I'm not. 2. Wash Post wants Biden to pardon Trump, I want Trump crimes prosecuted 3. Wash Post paywalls its content. I don't. www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

A little eye bleach, in case you need some.

Forever guilty on all counts.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

Newsflash! Only an alcoholic in denial “promises to stop drinking if they get the job”. 37 years sober here

Here. I fixed the typo. I blame the iOS 18 autocorrect. It’s garbage.

If your mom has to step in to help you out, you probably aren’t up to the job. Just saying.

Never forget:

Jeff Bezos and I were both in the news today. Bezos is making nice with Trump. Kash Patel has said that I am an enemy of the GOP. He owns the Washington Post. I founded Democracy Docket. Both rely on paid subscriptions. Which do you want to support? www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

We don't have a real fireplace as we're in an apartment, but we enjoy putting the fireplace on the television for ambiance. It seems that Nelson enjoys it too! #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #cats

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

Stressed? Please enjoy my cat snoring.

Don't scroll without saying good mornin'.

pete hegseth doesn't want women to serve in combat roles yet he has his mother out here fighting his battles....

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on. But ask yourself: Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

The inverted Lascaux horse (Lascaux replica, France)

Agree.

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

Given events at the (illegitimate) Supreme Court, today would be a good day for you cis folks to reach out to your trans friends with words of love and encouragement—and maybe offers to send takeout or such if you can afford it

PSA: If the guy you want to be our next SECRETARY OF DEFENSE needs his mommy to go on tv to say he’s a good boy, he sure as shit shouldn’t be anywhere the fuck near the job of overseeing our armed forces. Like are you even fucking kidding with this shit? Do you hear yourselves?

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

#ProofOfCat My wife got "slipper socks" at a church white elephant party. However, they're now a cat bed.

Nugget!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

The Daily Show on Pete Hegseth

💯

When Hegseth’s nomination falls, that’s going to be three failed cabinet appointees before we even make it to inauguration. So much for a well-oiled machine. New clowns, same circus.

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind. And yet…

Ahhh, yes 🙌🏻

It didn't start with gas chambers

You guys: Felix the cat (who'd gone missing during the Jasper fires) was just found. Hungry. Dirty. Healthy. 100 days after the fire.

The actual fuck, man

It's nice to be able to post this story and not get banned. Apparently that's only something you have to worry about on real "free speech" platforms!

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

Those saying Joe Biden’s pardon of his son gives “permission” to Trump to issue wild pardons forget that Trump never asks or needs permission to do anything wild.

I was AMBUSHED by this MYSTERIOUS CRYPTID at @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social today.

Yes

The Republican pearl clutching about Biden pardoning Hunter is so ridiculous. They keep whining about him not facing punishment for crimes he committed. They didn’t cry once about Trump, who also isn’t facing punishment for crimes he committed.

spy!

Can we get back to talking about Pete Hegseth’s mom already? Thx.
