Photograph of a large dilute gray tabby cat lounging on a patterned red hallway runner. Immediately behind him with bright come around eyes is a black cat with a slash of white fur at her throat. She is watching from the shadows. The tabby seems currently unaware.
Two black cats snuggle together on a dark green cotton blanket. The wall behind them is dark wood paneling. A string of fairy lights with fake greenery hangs to one side. The cat looking up toward the camera has wide, round golden eyes.
A silvery gray cat lounges on a bunch of black and purple pillows. One front paw is extended as he appears to hug a fuzzy toy bat with purple wings.
A silvery grey cat with his front paws draped over an elevated cat bed covered with beige shag carpet. He has round golden eyes and a dark gray nose. A bunch of clothes hangs on a rack behind him.
A silvery gray cat lays luxuriously on his back with his back legs in the air and his tail curled around. His head lolls to one side and he is sound asleep. You can see one tiny fang. He is partly laying on the hip of his favorite human as they sit at their laptop. There are snacks in the background and a mouse pad that has been rendered completely inaccessible by the slumbering cat. Hanging near the lofted bed are strings of fairy lights with little green leaves. They lend a whimsical air to the space.
A black cat with a white slash at her throat perches on a shelf next to a massive slip-cased edition of Carl Jung’s Black Books. Her head is cocked to one side as she inspects her surroundings with focused curiosity. A twining vine motif decorates slats in between bookshelves, running from from floor to ceiling. The wood is stained dark and looks handcrafted. Many other books are visible, including a collection by Joseph Campbell, the Temple of Man, and Gustav Davidson‘s Dictionary of Angels.

A string of fairy lights with twining green vines hang from a ceiling draped with silvery cloth. A large photo of a night sky in a pine forest hangs from the far wall. A few framed photos rest on a standing desk. The one in front is a movie still from Lost Boys of the character David played by Kiefer Sutherland.
Angled photo of a closet filled with poet’s shirts and frock coats in brocade, silk, and velvet. Instead of doors, the has thick black velvet curtains. These stand partly open, revealing the contents inside. A white and red mask designed to resemble a sugar candy skull hangs over the bar next to a matching red frock coat. In the foreground, angles an antique wooden chair covered with a black, white, and gray blanket with a large, realistic, tiger design, the eyes peering into the room. Behind the chair, on a short shelf inside the closet, barely visible beneath a black velvet jacket, a little black cat stares at the person taking the photo. Her head is tilted. Her eyes catch the camera shine and glow an eerie green.
Several black tins with distinctive black and white labels that read “Alchemist’s Cabinet” with a serpent in a solar design. One tin is open, revealing several large chunks of rich amber resin inside. The label on the reverse of one of the tins identifies this as a variety of frankincense known as mahogany gold.
Photo of a wooded backyard, taken through an upstairs window. The long, textured trunks of two hickory trees rise to leafy crowns well above the frame of the photo. A very weathered wooden picnic table hosts a plastic skeleton. In the back corner of the yard, among grass and other greenery, the interwoven path of a walking labyrinth leads to a central firepit with two benches nearby.
A black cat and a white splash at her throat perches on the pillar at the head of a heavy oak bed. Her eyes catch the camera shine. The wall behind her is cloudy gray. She looks like a harbinger of some unspeakable doom (in other words, the food bowl is empty)
Three cats sit at a glass storm door as a white front door stands open. Two of the cats are sleek black house panthers. One is a silvery gray gumdrop. The cats are laser focused on something in the yard

Two cats, one black and one gray, stand on a narrow desk topped with white stone. A tanned, tattooed human, mostly off camera, extends their arms to feed the cats Churu. The cats lick the tree with great interest. Several containers of true are arranged against the wall at the back of the desk. A corkboard hangs above with multiple chains and necklaces hanging from pushpins.
A clean-shaven white man with a round face and a cleft chin. His brown hair is in a short haircut that has not quite recovered from his military days. He wears dark sunglasses. Over a white undershirt, he wears a short sleeve button-down shirt with pale blue stripes against white. On his lap is a small child with pigtails. Their brown hair is almost the same color as his. The child wears a red striped tank top and brown shorts. They have bobby socks and old-style saddle shoes. The picture is taken outside on an open porch overlooking a yard with a massive garden, recently tilled.
A vintage photo from 1975 of a smiling child in pigtails and a striped tank top riding the glider on a candy cane striped swingset. An above ground swimming pool is visible behind them on an expansive yard of freshly mowed grass.
A giant yard skeleton stands amid a riot of Shasta daisies and exuberantly growing mugwort. The skeleton holds a solar lantern on a chain between its outstretched arms.
Four black tins with white-on-black labels that read “Alchemist’s Cabinet.” The tins rest upon a dark mat with arcane and alchemical symbols in gold and red.
Every large dilute gray tabby cat looks down, nonplussed, on his smaller feline roommate who is on her back with all of her paws in the air in a playful position. She invites a tussle. She is a black cat with a white strap at her belly, but she lays in a bright shaft of sun, so her fur looks almost chocolate colored. A long white string and a small purple cat toy lay discarded on the floor to the left of the tabby.
An arrangement of quirky magnets on a steel refrigerator door, most with cat themes. “Nobody sleeps when the cat bowl is empty” under the photo of a grumpy gray tabby. “ I may not know what the fuck I’m doing, but that won’t stop me” over a tabby kitten cavorting in a field of clover. An old panel from a Foxtrot comic strip about Lord of the Rings. “Be careful what you wish for. You will be a targeted ads for similar items forever” over an old Satanic Panic illustration of a woman in chains burning in hell. A large red heart with the David Lynch quote, “Fix your hearts or die.“
Three cats all in a line on a hallway runner rug. Two are black. The middle cat is soft gray. The cats look up as if they have been caught in the middle of something. A wooden railing leads to a shallow landing and wooden stairs on the left. The walls of the hallway are a soft sunset orange.
A large dilute gray tabby cat sits on a worn, patterned rug in front of a glass storm door. He looks up at the person taking the photo, showing off the pale cream of his chin. He has long white whiskers. An blocky ivory colored umbrella stand in a Mesoamerican design sits to one side of the door. It is filled with walking sticks, swords, and a tomahawk.
“The increasing number of ambushes and targeted attacks against law enforcement officers across our nation is unacceptable and represents a stain on our society. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal. It is time for all Ohioans to stand together in support of those who put on the badge every day, knowing they may not return home to their families. It is time to Protect Ohio Police.” Part of a press statement from Jay McDonald, President of the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police on the event of a domestic event ending in suicide in Richmond, Ohio, July, 2026

A silvery gray cat snuggles on the lap of his favorite human as both lounge together on a massive king bed. A crimson blanket has been pushed to one side, revealing the long, pale, bare legs of the human.
A photo of the upper corner of a steel refrigerator covered in quirky stickers and magnets. A black cat is on top of the refrigerator. She is moving so much, she looks like an eldritch being phasing in and out of reality.
Two black cats snuggle close together in a brown bolstered cat bed. They lay in front of a closed black curtain with a pattern of silvery leaves. The closest cat turns her head toward the camera and regards it with slitted golden eyes, her mouth opened to reveal her fangs. She looks like a gremlin.
A short-haired human with a warm peach skin tone modeling an elegant earring of silver and amber. The human has a long, slender neck and a sharply-defined jawline.
A very large dilute, gray tabby cat sits on the edge of a kitchen island with a black granite countertop. The cat seems to frown with a sneer of cold command. His name is Ozymandias.
Screen capture of the post being responded to. The Bluesky post is from user Louisa. Their post says, “But that makes it even easier to look things up! You’re already on the device containing the sum of human knowledge.“ The word “device” has been highlighted as an example, bringing up a small menu that offers the options to Copy, Look Up or Translate, with an arrow pointing toward even more options. The Look Up option has been circled in red

Ohio Senate President Rob McColley (R., Napoleon), Mr. Ramaswamy's running mate, said every Democrat in the legislature voted against House Bill 68. "Does Amy Acton agree with the liberal extremists in her own party?" Mr. McColley said. "If the press was doing its job, it would ask her." Dr. Acton said she agrees with the law prohibiting transgender women and girls from participating in women's and girls' sports. "I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law," Dr. Acton said. "As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids' health and safety," she continued. "While my opponent tries to divide us, I'm laser-focused on issues that matter most to Ohioans: lowering costs, cracking down on corruption, and cutting taxes for working families."

Two black cats snuggle together on a scarlet blanket atop a bed. They hug each other close. One cat looks away from the camera. The other cat, laying on top of his mother, turns his head toward an unexpected sound. His eyes are huge and round, all pupil, as he locks in.
The long, slender arm of a human with pinkish skin lit by the lavender glow of a gaming laptop off screen grips a mouse on an alchemy themed mouse pad. Laying next to the human’s arm with her paws pressed against it is a black cat with a white splash on her belly. Notebooks, an iPad, a sketchbook, and sticky notes regarding game design are scattered around the blanketed surface.
A black cat lays on her back next to an alchemy themed mouse pad with a black Dragon gaming mouse. The cat is curled possessively around the pale pink hand of her favorite human, who might have been reaching for the gaming mouse, but is now obligated to rub the cat’s belly because the cat will not let go.
