Tilted to side laughing so hard it's crying emoji.
A chewed up sleep mask and a mangled pair of reading glasses.
A whimsical wildlife alert from Seattle Parks & Rec re: Jimothy.
kenpopehat on threads: ICE is thug trash. There needs to be a reckoning.
A cream/tan throw rug covers most of a similarly colored, circular dog bed. A pibble mix, white w/occasional black spots, is splooting away from the camera. To his left is a geriatric black cat squinting at the viewer. The tip of the cat's tail might be underneath the doggo, it's hard to say
Chewy, the recently adopted all-white (except for a few black spots) pibble is squeezed onto one half of his dog bed. Bean, the 16-yr old head house panther, is plopped close to the middle of the bed.
A large pittie mix is on his right side, lying on top of his human's slippered feet. The doggo is all white with some small black spots scattered mostly on his ears. The human is wearing tan socks with horizontal brown stripes; there is a mystery scratch above the left sock on her shin. The floor is old hardwood that has seen far better days.
A white pittie with black spots on his ears & nose is standing on top of a (human) bed. He is standing on an old pink blanket. The walls behind the doggo are a pleasing light blue.
A large ball of smoky cat hair sits on top of a gray pet carrier. It looks like a tribble from Star Trek.
A side view of two 1/4-each pitty mixes that are looking out the living room window. Yoke is red & white; he sits on the floor with his chin resting on the...oh crud what do you call it, the horizontal board that runs along the bottom of a picture window. Jack is yellow & white; he is resting on the back of a big chair that's covered with an old sheet. Both appear content. They are obviously thinking Profound Doggo Thoughts.
Congressman Jamie Raskin: The multiple reports of sexual assault & misconduct be women staffers & others about Rep. Swalwell are detailed, disturbing, corroborated by contemporaneous accounts & all too compelling. These allegations are disqualifying in many ways. He should follow the advice of his campaign manager & CA colleagues & end his campaign. My thoughts are with the survivors.

Graph of barometric pressure the past 48 hours or so. FML.
A chart of the barometric pressure around here the past 2 days. It's either a really bad roller coaster or it's somewhere in the Himalayas.
Picture of a far off, olive-green field with massive columns of smoke rising from the center. The text said "burning sage to cleanse 2025".
A picture of a bunch of stuff for colonoscopy prep: vegetable broth, a huge-ass jug of some sort of laxative, Miralax, Jell-O, a bottle of magnesium citrate, some white cranberry juice, & a blue PowerAde. Ugh.
Some classical painting of a young woman with dark hair. The text makes it look like she is saying: In Norway, "up & not crying" is a not uncommon response to "how's it going". And I feel like that's a very reasonable standard to hold oneself to nowadays.
Shaker, a little orange tabby, is dressed in a light blue hoodie. A sunbeam is highlighting her front legs.
A medieval painting of two women in (what I presume is) upper class clothing. The caption above the first pane says: "And I want armor for the cat." "But Lady, that..." "Do I speak Chinese or what? I said armor for the cat." The second pane is a close-up detail of what's in front of the Lady, sitting on the floor: Yep, a medieval cat in medieval armor. The only cat parts visible are the lower legs; everything else is covered in cat armor, including the armadillo-like armored tail. (Seriously, if anyone knows the actual painting/artist I would love to know. It appears to be a legit painting.)
Apologies for not typing out the whole thing; please go to Tim Onion's (@bencollins) account for the explanation.
From Washington State Memes on FB, a meme titled "Four Seasons of Washington". It is a quadrant of pictures: 1) a soggy day titled "rain"; 2) a road with construction barrels & an orange roadsign that says "road work ahead" titled "road work"; 3) a lovely scene of evergreen trees covered in snow titled "winter"; & 4) the hood of a car plastered in yellow dust titled "pollen". Fact meter = true!
Jeph the giant Ginge posts: So, I set up my new Alexa to respond to "Computer..." I didn't think about it until I turned on Star Trek, and - halfway through the episode - my house fired a spread of photon torpedoes into our neighbors' garage. This note is to say sorry again about your truck, Kevin.
A cute bunny, tan with a white belly, is sitting on its hind legs. It is wearing what I suspect is a green pinecone as chainmail over its neck & shoulders. It is holding what appears to be a thistle sharpened into a spear. Gothic lettering above & below the bunny states, "We must remain whimsical to survive the horrors of this world."
Radar the small black cat snuggled up with Jack the yellow/white pittie mix.
@allchronology.com plagiarized (in 2 parts) a post from Tim Onion just 4 hours prior. Blockity block block.
A person wearing a MAGA hat has reached the Pearly Gates. St. Peter stands at a podium reviewing their record. He says, "Says here you went to church your whole life & loudly proclaimed yourself a Christian, but worshipped rich people, hated the downtrodden, & cheered for cruelty. Like what the fuck, man?"

A small book entitled, What I Lick Before Your Face & other haikus by dogs. There is a picture of a happy tri-color dog with floppy ears, & he is licking his lips.
A white sign w/a black border, surrounded by palms & other tropical-looking plants. It says: We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks.
A gray woodland creature is holding a book & has a teakettle. Obviously it wants to be off somewhere drinking & reading its book. But noooooo, it's had to gird itself in pinecone armor, a cute little helmet, & a pike (from which the kettle is hanging). The caption is "born to dillydally, forced to fight fascists". https://Instagram.com/rivuletpaper
Jack, a yellow & white pittie mix, sits patiently waiting for a snack of some sort. He has freckles on top of his nose, & one of his ears is a little cockamamie. The house seems so empty now.
A snippet from Wikipedia, indicating that PAM spray was invented in 1959.
Jack, a 10-year old yellow & white pittie mix, is konked out on the bed after his latest oncology appointment. He is laying on his side, head near a pillow; his belly is enlarged because of his damn spleen. His two house panthers are snuggled up beside him. Bean, 14, is curled up behind his head; Radar, 13, is curled up smack dab on top of Jack's front legs. Normally Jack would not endure the indignity of Cat-On-Legs, but that day he was especially zonked from extra meds. Definitely the best night's sleep he's had in a looooooong time.
A bunch of small owls are standing on a wood floor. Their faces appear to have surprised expressions, as owl faces are wont to do. Writing above their heads indicate what each is thinking: The fuck is this shit. Fucking hell. WTF. Fuck me sideways. Jesus Christ. Noice. Holy shit. Da fuq. For the love of God.

Last seen in Arlington wearing green shirt, khaki pants, & black slip on shoes. Had his iPad but not his phone or jacket.

A graph of the barometric pressure over the past 24 hours. Dropping like a stone. Because I haven't had enough migraines lately.
Weather forecast shows typical wet spring weather for the PNW. Until Tuesday. Tuesday it says 70°?!?
Jack, a yellow and white pittie mix dog, is barely on the edge of his dog bed. Why you might ask? Because Bean the black cat is snuggled right smack in the middle of it.
As predicted yesterday, the barometric rollercoaster is plummeting. My damn head hurts.
Bean, a 15-year old black cat, is lying down in front of the camera. His right front leg is curled in front of him, while his left front leg is sticking straight out. His whiskers are sticking straight to the sides. His ears are partially flattened & twisted in highly NOT AMUSED positions. (Plus his chronic runny left eye is being very chronic-y, but that's neither here nor there.)
A chart of the barometric pressure over the past 48 hours. It's climbed up a peak & appears poised to drop like a rollercoaster. (Those odd big dips are from being at work & Jack's chemo appt.)
Editorial cartoon by Mike Luckovich. Zelenskyy, dressed in black, is resolutely sitting in a chair at the WH. Across from him sits Putin, complete with evil stare; 2 dogs on sitting on Putin's lap. One dog is Trump & the other is Vance; both are yapping at Zelenskyy like the little bitch lapdogs they are.
Benjamin, a 14-year old big black cat, is resting on a fleece blanket. His tongue is sticking way out as he licks some churu off his nose.
A somewhat smug-looking brown tabby is in front of a pink & white hearts background. It says: Roses are red, violets are blue. I left a Valentine in the litter box for you.
