Hear yours go. #ShowMeYourKitts

A dilute tortie kitten, just shy of two months old, sniffs the nose of a ginger Persian, four months old at the time. They are in front of a red soft-sided pet carrier that the tortie had been in.

(Did AI write this training? THAT'S NOT HOW COMPASSES WORK!!!)

Snapshot of an online training module. The main text reads, "Risks and Limitations of AI Systems" while the closed captions read, "As we turn our compass east towards risk." A large graphic to the left shows a compass with the arrow pointing to the east with a big red box with the word "risk" to the right of it. The main image shows a stock image of a classroom.

(The roof is done, and the cats are finally out and about again.)

A 60+ year old ranch-style house with peachy brick and a fresh new roof. There is a tall tree on either side of the yard. The windows have "decorative" black shutters.

A ginger Persian mix lies on her person's lap in bed. She is wearing clothes that could be worn out of the house (a "crafty fox" T-shirt and skirt), but maybe can't leave since there's a cat on her lap.

With my AC failing at the beginning of the heat domes this month, sending the temp inside most of my apartment to 90°F and my office to 94°F, I have been unable to apply for many jobs this month, but the only response to my roughly 80 applications to date has been rejection. I now have $42.

(Debs continues to love Zoom, although it was Nerves who got the most attention with her tail swishing around my face while I talked. Debs was more of a behind-the-scenes gremlin.)

A juvenile grey-brown tabby curls up next to her person's Chromebook on a bed with pink floral sheets. Her head is resting against the keyboard.

Shanks@ladydingleberry.bsky.social · 3w ago

(Apparently, Debs loves Zoom even when the speaker isn't famous. I guess that makes sense because she's zooming around right now.)

A woman's hand reaches out to grasp the paw of a juvenile grey-brown tabby who is reaching for the keyboard of the woman's Chromebook that is showing a Zoom meeting of a book club.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that our students will benefit from this project and that the property is not sitting vacant as a Tumbleweed & Raccoon Academy. I'm actually going to get to teach in one of the fancy new classrooms now, even. But our town needed the hospital, too.)

Screenshot of a Facebook post from EBCO General Contractor. Text reads, "From hospital to classroom. ✨

We're proud to share the completed **Rockdale ISD College & Career Academy**! This project transformed a former hospital into a state-of-the-art learning facility that will provide students with valuable opportunities to explore career paths, develop new skills, and prepare for their futures.

Supporting our local communities is something we care deeply about, and it was an honor to partner with Rockdale Independent School District and Corgan Inc. to help bring this vision to life. Seeing an existing building given new purpose while creating opportunities for the next generation makes projects like this especially rewarding.

Thank you to Rockdale ISD and everyone who played a part in making this project a success. We can't wait to see the positive impact this facility will have on students and the community for years to come!

Mine hows am all nakey, and most cates am hidey, even when mine hoom am service brekkie. (My house is naked, and most of the cats are hiding, even when my human served us breakfast.)

Snapshot of Shanks's house from across the street. The roof has been stripped of its shingles and is a wooden layer with some workers standing on top, one of whom is holding a leaf blower. Two trucks are in the driveway, and a van and another truck are in front of the house and garage obstructing the view, along with some trees on the side of the garage.

Silly hoom. I'm do mine best to inspekt hers knittings, but hers still goof the it up. (Silly human. I do my best to inspect her knitting, but she still goofed it up.)

A ginger Persian sleeps with her face on her person's knitting project, a sock in rainbow gradient yarn. The cord of a circular knitting needle is looped over her neck.

A woman's hand holds up two hand knit socks by the cuffs. It's a bit difficult to tell because they are worked in a rainbow gradient yarn, but the cuff of the left sock is only about half as long as the right one.

A juvenile grey-brown tabby sits on a shelf near a ginger Persian mix looking out the window onto the driveway and side yard. Behind them, a fluffy brown tripod tabby with a relatively recent "lion" style cut is curled up on a wooden dining chair with a red gingham cushion. He is looking at the camera with wide eyes.

(We got our first payment from Shanks's "Rad Bobbles," and since I've long since paid off Huelga's hospital bills - and even just finished paying Ron's most recent visit to the ER - I'm donating to our friends at @crits4cats.org . )

(I had a much less strenuous morning at the mobile food pantry today, even though my main station involved lifting flats of pineapples. Sure, it helped that temps have been cooler due to this week's storms and we had plenty of cloud cover. But I think I also had a special somebody watching my back.)

Two boxes of sweet potatoes sit on a table waiting to be bagged up.

Many flats of pineapples are stacked up, over five feet high.

(So, I heard it twice last night but haven't heard it again today despite listening to 2+ more episodes, so I will assume the seemingly odd targeting WAS an aberration at the time, but I still have questions about the Alec Baldwin spot about Peyronie's Disease during the Bechdelcast.)
