Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

A nice thing about that one WNBA lady talking mess on trans kids is that basically all the rest of the WNBA is like “oh actually I like trans people so 🤷♂️“ 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
The try hard guys @jessethorn.bsky.social @jordanmorris.bsky.social cant stop trying hard! This week, the guys try Country Time Filled Ropes. With a name that bad it has to be good, right? Only one way to find out!
The cities versus rural areas and exurbs thing is so wild. If you live in a city and say that Iola, Kansas is kinda boring you are history’s greatest monster, meanwhile there are whole television networks dedicated to saying that all cities are hellholes fit only for junkies and murderers.

Amabel Holland@amabel.bsky.social · 3d agoit never got much traction, but this video I did about A THOUSAND CLOWNS has gotten so many kind comments and emails from creative people (screenwriters, playwrights, even the son of the film's editor Ralph Rosenblum) & that's been satisfying in its own way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRiC...
