Advocate, but tired. Accidental accumulator of cats. Lots of ADHD.

A black dog with white splotches on her chest and snout is sitting on a brown sofa. She is quite large.
Daffodil, a boy cat with long, fluffy black hair, white front paws and long white whiskers, is doing that stretch cats do where his front legs are stretched out in front of him and his head and chest are lowered to the ground. An orange cat wearing Christmas pajamas can be seen partially in frame behind Daffodil, admiring Daffy's epic stretch.
Graphic in the style of the "ZOHRAN for NEW YORK CITY" campaign logo that says "SHUTDOWN for NOTHING"
Cropped screenshot from Fitbit app the says "Sleep duration 5 hours, 26 minutes" and shows today's Sleep Score as "68".
A snail is climbing up a painted white post on my front porch. The light from the porch light casts his shadow on the post out in front of him. He appears to be looking at his shadow.
Elliot, a middle-aged orange cat, is laying on a blue bedspread. He's got one paw tucked under his chin and the other stuck out in front of him, making him look like a lounging human somehow.
Screenshot of Bluesky timeline with top post from derek guy (@dieworkwear.bsky.social) that reads, "the lion doesn't concern himself with credit scores". The post that appears directly below it is from erin biba (@erinbiba.bsky.social); it features a TikTok of an orange tabby cat whose nose is very close to the camera so it looks big and kinda goofy. The post text says, "Thank you for this giant angel baby @sesmith.lol here is another angel baby saying hello."
A very large black dog with white splotches on her snout and paws is laying on a sofa with her long back legs extended towards her front parts. Her head was resting on the arm of the sofa, but she lifted it a bit to look at the camera. A smaller, but still pretty big, cattle dog who is black with a white stripe down his nose is curled up with his head resting on the bigger dog's butt.
Elliot, a medium-sized orange tabby cat, is napping on the seat of an office desk chair. His rear legs are tucked up close and his tail is wrapped around them. His head is resting on his front legs. This is one of Elliott's favorite napping spots, as evidenced by both the claw marks at the front that he makes when climbing up on it now that his old legs don't jump so good and by the later of orange and white hairs that has accumulated on the seat.
Graphic novel-style drawing of two identical spidermans pointing at each other in what looks to be an alleyway.
A photo of the top of an outdoor storage cabinet that is covered with a jumble of fallen oleander flowers, some weeds that flew up from earlier weed eating, an old pole saw, some random yard doodads, a pair of scissors, some non-returnable recyclables that I pulled out of the returnable recycling bags, a couple of unused white trash bags, and a tiny baby praying mantis. He is green and about one and a half inches long.
A photo of part of a colorful printed newsletter with a poem about a frog and pictures of a frog and of some kids doing activities learning about nature. Very tiny by the title of the poem there is what looks like a tiny red jagged splotch (close-up of red splotch in next photo)
A screenshot of trending topics on Bluesky, cropped to include only the number 1 ranked topic which reads "1. Caturday", has a red icon to the right that contains a flame emoji and the word "Hot", and on the next line reads "14.6K posts"
Daffodil, a long-haired black and white tuxedo cat, is laying kind of loaf-like on the floor while Twig, a light-orange and white tabby kitten-cat stands over him grooming Daffodil's back. Twig is not doing a super thorough job of it, but it's the thought that counts, and Daffodil appreciates it.
A floofy black cat is laying on a stone pathway that cuts across a garden. He has light yellowish eyes that you can see even though the picture is from several feet away.
Allison, a small gray and cream-colored tabby cat, is sitting in a hard-sided Trader Joe's bag with orange fabric handles. One of the long sides of the bag takes up most of the frame of the photo. It has a whimsical design with a robin's egg blue background that looks like a sky with an old style airplane and a big cloud in it, but there are big vegetables in the sky also, like a turnip and a beet. The vegetables are bigger than the airplane but smaller than the cloud. Only Allison's head is visible, sticking out above the side of the bag. She's looking at the camera, mildly annoyed that the human taking the photo keeps trying to get her to look at them for a photo op when what she really wants is to further explore this new bag she's found on the human's bed.
A screenshot of a Google search in which I asked Google, "were Mary Shelley and Jane Austen sisters". The "AI Overview" at the top of the search results reads, "No, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen were not sisters. They were both daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft, but Mary Shelley's father was William Godwin, and Jane Austen's father was Thomas Austen according to jasnasw.com. Mary Shelley was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, while Jane Austen was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and Thomas Austen, making them step-sisters. "
A cropped screenshot from a poster that shows "Creative Routines of Famous Individuals" from the section about Charles Darwin. At the top of the image it describes what he did just before going to sleep at night as "Lies awake in bed solving problems."
Elliot, a medium-sized orange tabby cat, is laying on the floor in the back corner of a stand-up shower (the kind that's not a bathtub, just a shower).
Allison, a small gray and cream colored cat, is sitting in one of those Trader Joe's bags that's kind of more like a box with handles. Just her head is poking out of the top.
Ursa, a black great dane with a white patch around her nose poses in some too-small Christmas pajamas atop a blanket-covered futon. The hand of a human family member appears on the left side of the photo as she tries to convince Ursa to sit still for just one photo before wriggling out of her outfit.
A laminated flyer hanging on a bulletin board at a restaurant that includes a photo of a dog available for adoption at the local animal shelter and a colorful depiction of the same dog drawn by a child, below which is a description of the dog written by the same child. The description reads, "Hi, my name is Emerald. I am a 2 year old shepherd mix. Good with kids, walks good on a leash, gentle, sweet, loves attention, loves people. Please adopt me!" Two hearts are drawn at the end of the description. At the bottom of the flyer, in small print, it says, "Artwork completed by [redacted] Elementary School Kindness Club. Dogs are available for adoption at the [redacted] County Animal Shelter" (I redacted the school and county names for my own privacy.)
Elliot, a stout orange cat with white patches on his chest, is sitting underneath an antique sideboard (a piece of furniture that looks kind of like a dresser but it's made to go in one's dining or living room). The photo is taken from human-height. From this angle, Elliot is only visible from the chest down. His head is completely hidden from view.
This picture is made up of three separate photos, each of which features a different person from about the waist up. All three people have similar expressions on their faces - expressions that convey a certain type of skepticism and suspicion, like they don't trust you because they've been screwed over too many times before. These are the three people from PG&E's bizarre new ad campaign which consists of video ads in which PG&E bigwig are shown trying to reassure PG&E customers that they (PG&E) is doing things much safer now, and the PG&E customers remain unconvinced, even by the ends of the videos.
Twig, an light orange and white cat who is currently small because he's still kind of a kitten, is playing with a bundle of multi-colored mini zip ties held together with a rubber band. Zip ties are Twig's favorite thing in the whole world, so this is an amazing find for him.
A zoom-in on the lower right side of the photo from the original post that appears to show some sort of driving bridge with blurry car-like objects moving across it. I added a red arrow pointing towards one of the blurry objects that resembles a large 1970s style station wagon with a bunch of stuff strapped to the top of it.
A small pelican bird is sitting on top of a post sticking out of the water. There is a sign on the post that says "Slow Speed Minimal Wake". Some building in St. Augustine, Florida are in the background on the shore.
A blackish-brown bird with a white head and chest is standing on a post that has red triangle signs posted on either side of it. The post is sticking up out of the water in a bay off the ocean in Florida. Some land with trees is in the background.
Ursa, a black and white Great Dane is sitting in front of a white Christmas tree that is still fully decorated and lighted, but is laying fallen on the floor.
Ursa, who is rather small for a Great Dane yet still quite large for a dog, is standing on her back legs with her front paws on the kitchen counter, licking cookie dough off the beaters of a mixer.
A small light orange and white cat who is still a kitten but not a tiny baby kitten anymore is in a laundry basket. He's propped up with his paws over the edge of the basket. His head is tilted to the side inquisitively. He also looks particularly silly because he has a plastic cone on since he recently had a medical procedure and wouldn't leave his incision alone. He is not pictured here with a zip tie, but he does very much love zip ties.
A cropped screenshot showing that I just closed 1235 tabs in my phone browser
Allison, a small grey tabby cat, is sleeping on a blue bedspread. Her front paws are outstretched towards the camera, making them look very large.
Ursa, a black Great Dane with white patches on her nose and chest, looks into the camera with her dark, soulful eyes. She looks unusually dignified and thoughtful here.
Ursa, a mostly black Great Dane, is sleeping on a dog bed. She is pictured from above. Her front legs are bent and pulled in close to her chest. Her very long back legs are out straight, and since she has bent herself at her rear end her back paws are up close to her chest, too, making her look like she's been folded in half.
Elliot, a medium-sized orange tabby cat, models an oversized hoodie that is technically meant for dogs but he thinks he looks cooler in it than the dog does. He's right, he kinda does.
