This is my neighbors' cat. This is my kitchen floor. Above him is my AC vent. I'm pretty certain he believes he lives here now.
@openpike.bsky.social, hell yes DS9 is the best damn Trek ever made!
Happy Star Trek Day (US)! Decided to clean out the piles of tree detritus built up behind the gutter guides at the 2 corners of the front of the house, and...yeah, bits of acorns and leaves and twigs and other tree debris just kept on falling and falling on me
Friday Night Fang Hang (Note: Not my cat but is my couch)
Which damn feline declared today Reject All Freshly Opened Canned Food Offerings?!? Motherfuckers, the price keeps going up, and I can't afford for you picky bastards to reject all these cans.
Woo boy, the big hot fucking mess anyone with a brain expected has indeed come to be!
1/ Just in: An anonymous federal worker has filed a whistleblower disclosure warning that the U.S. Postal Service's attempt to create a system to regulate mail voting for the midterms has been "rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed." @propublica.org has the details 👇
This is Lucky, my neighbors' cat. He was once again crying at my patio door to be allowed inside for food & a break from the heat. His humans are currently having a family party in their backyard. Apparently Lucky is not lucky enough to be part of the family. Lucky needs a better home—& not mine!
Weekend greetings from the big-ass buffalo on Route 66 in Sapulpa, Okiemolah

I got a really nice shout out for my volunteer work with the kitties at Tulsa SPCA! The older I get the more I suspect I understand cats and how they behave far better than I do humans....
Maybe #StrangeNewWorlds spoiler-ish? I think I need someone with far better visual talents than I have to create a version of this bit but with the SNW puppets
Monday morning thunderstorm, so I took pity on the neighbor's used-to-be-indoor kittyand let him inside for the duration. Hell, if I'm letting him spend the hottest hours of the day inside, he might as well come in to avoid the rain!
Oh golly, another rejection email from a company's LLM-powered hiring platform sent @ 2:30 AM on a Saturday. Glad no one's putting effort into making the appearance of human involvement in this process. So glad I spent $$$ for pro help to better market my skills & experience to a fucking LLM agent
Oof. Door-to-door pest control salespeople rolling along my street on their Segway Ninebot knockoffs & hitting me up while I'm on my front porch in the shade reading need to understand that no, I don't buy pest control this way, and no, the ants & spiders & wasps other me not. Share the land, man!
Revisiting Justice League Unlimited's "The Once and Future Thing Pt 1: Weird Western Tales," written by the superb and greatly missed Dwayne McDuffie. So much fun...but no part of Oklahoma looks like that!
Watching for the umpeenth time "This Little Piggy" from Justice League Unlimited, and...this ep has EVERYTHING! Wonder Pig, Zatanna, and a singing Batman!

My Monday: Floof pooped in his carrier on the way to the vet. But hey, it was solid & easy to clean up once we arrived. Floof pooped in his carrier on the way home from the vet. Not solid. Very smelly. Traffic was backed up. I was fighting hard not to upchuck from the stench. Fun times.
In TNG's "The Neutral Zone," why didn't SOMEONE ask one of the school teachers to lend the unfrozen people an Earth history text or video highlight reel or any media to bring them a little up to speed? Nope, just stash their freezer-burned butts away to trot 'em out for plot points when needed!
@greatesttrek.com and @benjaminahr.mobi, I think it's long past time to make over the "For Some Reason Jake Sisko" drop into one for James Kirk for #StrangeNewWorlds
Oh the fun of doing all the things ya need to do to get another month's supply of yer sanity med only to be stymied by...the health care system and maybe too the health insurance? Blargh. Sanity is overrated.
When you're a lorg kitty and your cardboard scratcher is meant for a smol kitty
Hey there, Universe, it'd be really great if you'd cut me some slack and, say, let me finally land a new job? Dealing with ALL the stress isn't fun, and then it keeps piling on? Not a way to live. Also, if you could pass along to the CDS that no more cats are welcome here, that'd be great. Merci!
That face you make when you get to your cabana and find it already occupied
