Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Come on, man.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

This fight is for everything.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Democrats are back in array!

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Happy Cat Rescue Update: Tripod Tex

This post is in: ,

The little ex-feral is doing most excellent! Heard from Reilyn, who couriered Miss Callie:

A quick follow-up…I sent a note to Lori, the organizer, right after the donation; letting her know this was the leftovers from the Callie collections from the BalloonJuice community and therefore asking that she use the rest to either cover additional vet care for Tex or use to help other kittehz in need:

“Thank you! I will use extra money towards insulated outdoor shelters for the cats in Tex’s colony, and to help defray costs of TNR of the colony (and any friendly kittens we can adopt out)…

“I cannot thank you and the folks in your group enough for all of your incredible generosity for Tex!! My husband and I are pretty much speechless to receive such support from people we don’t know, for this wonderful little cat.

Tex loves to run and play. He purrs if we just look at him. I took him to our vet last week for his rabies vaccination and his first distemper vaccination. He’ll be neutered before he’s adopted out.

I have one couple that might adopt him, but if not, he’ll be on petfinder.com soon through the no-kill cat shelter I volunteer with, ewhiskers.com, here in Albany, NY.

Again, please thank everyone for me — Tex is such a happy little guy. That bad leg would have killed him with that bone infection … He is definitely worth keeping in this world for as long as possible! :) Lori”

Johannes:

I just heard from Lori that the Balloon Juice contribution for Tex’s GoFundMe—which brought her to and over goal — arrived. As a thank you, she’s sending a few pics of Tex for you and the Juicers.

Thanks so much; it means a lot to la Caterina and me, but far more to Lori and Tex.

We did good, guys.

    I would love to adopt that cute little guy… but we live in a tough neighborhood, with one 14 lb mean cat (not really, she just likes to jump on the other cat who weighs 10+ a little bit, but is faster than Punkin) but if he got outdoors, that would be a bad thing…

    So cute, hope he lands well a second time!!

    Happy birthday, everybody born this week sometime in the dim past.!!!. ;-)

    I’ve a 16 plus year old Tuxedo who’s very jealous. If not for that and the fact that I live a thousand miles or so from Albany, NY, I’d take him. I’ve always had a soft spot for the orange ones, the current President excepted.

    Tex looks very happy indeed. So glad everything worked out and wish that I could afford to send more than just good wishes to the little guy.
