Meet "Ryzhyk". He ran away from the hostess who is hiding from the bombing in our basement, and hid in the chapel on the closet :) In addition to the cat we have dogs and a parrot. God bless us! #Ukraine #Kyiv pic.twitter.com/AuogZPtCZ4

Jorts has a potential competitor! These tweets showed up in Foreign Affairs editor James Palmer’s Twitter feed. Ryzhyk does not look, to me, as though he is particularly scared, does he?
"Ryzhyk" is very scared, so he got out from the closet in the sacristy and came to me for Holy Mass. He did not receive Holy Communion, apparently, he did not confess! pic.twitter.com/eC0XLCLzlz

(For those not raised in the Church, one has to be in ‘a state of grace’, attainable by confessing one’s sins, in order to receive a Communion wafer. For your average ginger cat, that would mean a period of no more than 75 seconds between absolution and the Communion service… )

I can’t comment about anything without first saying all my hopes are with the people of Ukraine. I also dearly hope this is the last time our world will resort to invasion and war, …yeah, I am a dreamer. You can join me
I’m also curious as to how many geoducks are on here?

Clams surf the Web?

@mrmoshpotato: mrmoshpotato, yep.
I basically want a Wicker Man with Mitch McConnell in it (no Q – him first ) and maybe Murdoch. Yes, more complicated to get, but followed by Putaine… yes that was deliberate. Trump would be a bonus. Never mind bothering to fire them into the sun. We can do this here in srsly natural ways. Lumber +straw? <$5K. Considerably cheaper than a lift off from Earth into the sun.

@SectionH: Works for me, but what’s that have to do with surfing clams?

A little more choral music in the Kievian tradition.
In Russian, “Spaséñiye, sodélal” sung by men of the U.S. Army chorus.
In English, “Salvation Is Created” sung in the original mixed chorus version by the Te Deum Choir. Perhaps Rhyzyk, the dog, and the birds would sing along.

No, Kitty doesn’t look scared to me. Has a rather proud air, in fact.

I always wondered what “state of grace” (1990 film) meant. Pre google, I was too lazy to look it up at the library. The first two acts of the movie were great, with Gary Oldman stealing the movie, but the third act stunk.

@Amir Khalid: Yes, and I do believe he is an alum. The Evergreen State College mascot is a geoduck, hence my query.
