Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

White supremacy is terrorism.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Consistently wrong since 2002

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This fight is for everything.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

whereaway Lou and Earl Girl

From longtime lurker Whereaway:

We manage a feral cat colony in our backyard, and the kitten’s mother is one of my ferals that we have not been able to trap and spay yet. The kittens were about 4 weeks old when I found them piled up in a corner of the yard, while their mother was off at the feeding station. Mimi (the calico) spat at me ferociously, (considering her tiny size) but I just scooped them up, brought them inside, and introduced them to the wonders of soupy wet food. They loved it immediately, and they’ve been enthusiastically eating, and growing like mad ever since.

We’ve had them 8 weeks, so they are about 3 months old now. They love people, although they are shy when meeting someone new. They follow me all over the house, and enjoy sitting with/on us when we watch TV. They are very good at using the cat box, and are eating both canned and dry food now. They have not been vaccinated or sterilized yet, although they have been given a check up by our vet, and they have been wormed.

whereaway Mimi

The leader of our little pack is Mimi, the calico. She likes to be in the middle of everything (she just jumped onto my computer desk a minute ago!) and doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything. Even in the summer heat, she likes to cuddle up with our big kitties, her siblings, and even my salt lamp! She loves to chase the red dot, and goes crazy watching the cursor move on my computer screen.

whereaway Earl the Girl

Next we have Earl the Girl, who was originally named Earl Grey when she was misidentified as male. (Oops!) So now we call her Earl Girl, because it rhymes. (By the way, I’m sure there wouldn’t be any problem with giving any of the kittens new names.) Earl Girl is a grey and white tuxedo cat. She is very sweet, and likes to cuddle under my chin, and sit on my shoulder.

whereaway Inky

Our last little girl is Inky, who is not quite solid black, and slightly fluffier than the rest. She is the shyest of the group, but loves to play, and can generate an amazing purr when petted.

whereaway Lou and Mimi

Our little boy kitty is a black and white tuxedo cat named Lou. He is a pretty mellow fellow. He loves to hang out with our biggest cat, Tucker. I have a feeling Lou would adore a big, cat friendly dog.

The kittens are in Colorado Springs, and we open to delivering them to new homes in other parts of Colorado. If you need more information, just ask us.

Anybody needs a kitten or two, got a lead for good homes in the area, leave a comment below. Or send me an email at AnneLaurie (dot) verizon (dot) net, and I’ll forward your message to the Whereaways.

    Frontier Airlines has $39 round trip flights to Colorado Springs from Phoenix. . .

    Is that fate knocking ?

    Oh my god, such cute kittens!! Good luck finding them a home. Thanks FSM I’m nowhere near CO or I’d finally become the crazy cat lady I’ve tried not to be.

    Sigh, I would love Inky especially, because I always try to rescue the black animals, who are slower to get adopted. But I am too far away and already have (officially) too many for the municipality I’m moving to. Sad face.

    Wants the calico. Wants her.

    Now must snuggle Pancho and Lefty before releasing them out into the store.

    Absolutely. Totally and completely a sign. Go.

    Only hard part will be not taking them all.

    Want, want, want!! But already 2 animals over our apartment complex’s limit (it changed after we’d been here a year & we’re just lying about our group).

    I did send it on to my Denver-based daughter, she’s in her last year at DU, and may know people who are in need of such adorableness.

    God bless Anne. One of our cats was rescued from a shelter and the other homeless cat found us. They are now part of the family and are vigilant sentintals. One of them is always on guard and alerts us to dangers in their own way.

    Want sooo much but my dog is such a horror with other animals. I think I need a big farm.

    This is the longest inhave gone without a kitty and I don’t like it one bit.

    And thank you so much for caring for the ferals. My friends and I are still feeding and trapping ferals.

    I have resolved that henceforth I will always acquire kittens in pairs. My two youngest are litter mates (feral born) who have grown up to be inseparable cuddle buddies. It warms my heart to see them curled up together. Inky and Lou would make a great tandem – black and tux, just like my two. And of course, calico coordinates with everything.

    I may have a person or two on the string – I’ll email Anne Laurie if it looks like they are serious!
