I can't remember the last time I felt so represented by one of my actual representatives. \o/
Sometimes, you just gotta call a spade a spade.

Stray cats are often scrawny, underfed, and crazed for just the smolest taste of delicious tuna.
But once they find their place in their furever homes, stray cats have a way of indulging in little luxuries, begging for a second breakfast, a little treat, or even a bite of the hooman's pizza. The gluttony of feline prowess knows no bounds, especially after a kitty has lived on the streets, knowing nothing but hunger and desire for many moons.
OMG

And the craziest thing was that after all that, I found a bunch more. Only like 7 or 8 more, but still. One hell of a haul for only about two or three hours.
Oh, and I still had half a green bag at home. I was just looking to top that one off to take it to New Seasons later. But a whole bag full in ONE trip!!!
Special tortures.

It's especially demoralizing to find there's very little made in the way of women's shoes with buckles these days. Something nice to wear to work and meeting up with friends that helps me feel like I'm a grown-up and costs less than $400 doesn't seem like it should be giving me such a headache, but then, it's shoe shopping. Nothing's at all pleasant about that. These seem promising, and I may risk buying sight unseen to avoid going into a physical shoe store.

Can we please fire the people scripting this season of the United States of America? Some of these choices are so asinine I think they're consulting genAI for their scripts, and no one is editing them.
Oh, wait, that's what the politicians are doing to make fucking laws.
I'm going to go read amnesia fic now and think, "I wish that were me."

I am already very very tired.
But.
In a magnificent example of Prosocial Mammals: yesterday, when we were like 3/4 of the way to site, I realised that I no longer had "migraine stabs" on my packing list because I had carefully arranged things so that stabs would be due on a Tuesday so I would never need to faff with stabs in a field again.
... which I completely forgot. Until. 3/4.
... so I put out a Wail addressed to Londoners who would be Heading To The Field, and one of them ACTUALLY WENT on the terrible multi-borough fetch quest to get me my stabs so I HAVE BEEN STABBED and was only one day late, not a week! which is probably going to make the next month much more pleasant! and I just. continue delighted about this.
There you go that's your anecdote of the day.

This roommate situation has officially gone off the rails… and possibly off the lease. They both agreed to a no-pets policy for a reason, and cat allergies aren't just a mild inconvenience. Sneezing, itching, wheezing, living like that daily is no small hissteria.
So when Lily waltzed in with a surprise emotional support cat and declared the rules no longer apply? That's where things got whisker-twisty. Emotional support animals can be a legitimate need, but that doesn't cancel out someone else's health needs or give a free pass to break the lease without a conversation.
It's one thing to need support. It's another to completely ignore boundaries, go full stealth-mode with a furball, and then cry foul when asked to find a compromise. That kind of cattitude is bound to spark tension in any shared living space.
It's about coexisting. And right now, one person's needs (and sinuses) are being trampled while a sneaky new roommate prowls the halls. Someone's got to step up and set things straight before this apartment turns into a full-on cat-astrophe.

They managed to get it put out fairly quickly at least, and from the time the fire alarm went off to the fire trucks arriving was, like, less than two minutes. So good on them for a great response time.
Long story short, the laundry room that the hotel staff uses to wash sheets, towels, etc. caught on fire. I'm guessing it was one of the industrial dryers in there based on what I saw. There's currently a hole in the wall leading into the laundry room, firemen still running around, and a shit ton of smoke in the hallways, but they've let everyone back inside. And my suite is about as far as you can get from where the fire was, so there's at least no smoke in here as long as I keep the door shut.
Garrus is already back to normal, but Keyleth has hidden herself under the bed and probably won't be coming back out for at least a few hours. Minimum.
June is, uh, certainly shaping up to be a month. That's for sure.
22 Pictures of Cats Riding in Style While You’re Still Taking the Bus
Jun. 12th, 2025 02:00 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
From first-class train rides to skateboard cruisin' and bicycle basket tours, today's cats are proving that travel isn't just for hoomans. It's a whole meowvement. These whiskered wanderers are pawsitively redefining what it means to travel in style.
Some felines prefer the fast track, catching views from the window seat of a high-speed train, clearly living their best commewter life. Others opt for low-to-the-ground luxury, hitching rides on skateboards like four-legged Tony Pawks, mastering ollies with a casual flick of the tail. And don't overlook the basket-riders curled up on the front of a bicycle like they're starring in their own indie film called Purr & Pedal, ears flapping softly in the breeze.
You'll spot them in pet strollers, sidecars, even strapped snugly into backpacks like furry astronauts ready for launch. Whether they're rocking goggles, tiny harnesses, or just a tail blowing in the wind, one thing's fur sure. These cats are going places.
They're winning hearts, collecting head pats, inspiring wanderlust, and racking up the miles as the true travel influencers of the animal kingdom.
