Our kitty is Scout, who we call Scooty. And sometimes Scooter/Scooterella/Scooterbutt/Scootypuff Junior. She prefers the Xbox controller over the Steamdeck though.

Cool! A TNR kitty!

If you see a stray with an eartip (the top point removed from one ear) this is a sign of a Trap-Neuter-Return cat. It’s the sign that an outdoor kitty has been caught, fixed, and then returned to their outdoor home. It means some humans care about this cat and their colony 🙂

More on ear tipping. More on TNR.

ME TOO! Yeah, it honestly doesn’t look real.

Being more active again is such a good sign! Happy to hear good news about Blue.

Donated, best of luck to you two, and hoping for the best outcome for Blue.

Interesting, after Googling, it looks like both Weetabix and Weetbix are a thing. It was started in Australia as Weetbix and eventually expanded internationally with a factory in England. They renamed it Weetabix to differentiate the product from that sold in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

An interesting internet rabbit hole I didn’t expect to go down today, ha! My English grandparents often ate Weetabix, and when you said it was Australian, I didn’t believe you (and had a typo lol.) Turns out it’s both. I’d assumed Brits must have introduced it over there, but it’s the opposite.

Kitty belly 😻

Seconding the lactose intolerance, I’ve also heard that most cats can’t tolerate it well. My baby girl (11) loves to beg for yogurt but she gets a dime-sized dollop at most, otherwise I’m cleaning up kitty barf within the hour.

It’s also true that kitties (and dogs) shouldn’t eat onions or garlic as alliums are toxic to them, in a single large enough quantity or over time. And we don’t want to feed any animals cooked chicken bones as they are way too brittle and can break into dangerous shards.

That said, a cat wrote this infographic and put turkey and shrimp in the top section 😅

Thanks for elaborating! I guess I’m too detached from the TERF content this is imitating to have caught the joke.

No you’re right, it would be “lip fillers,” not Botox.

But OP was too focused on attacking the appearance of a woman, without considering subject matter accuracy or whether it was fair to do so. 🙄

Not in any way defending terfs, however: lightening your hair is NOT cheap and just because your roots are showing (natural color is growing out) doesn’t mean you had a cheap service done. It just means it’s time for another one.

Regardless, we shouldn’t be attacking people for their physical appearance, even if they’re terrible people. Being pretty is not the rent women pay to exist in the world, and failing to live up to your standards of beauty is not a moral failing. That includes hair and makeup and body modification (Botox, piercings, tattoos) choices.

Edit: also Botox ≠ lip filler. (Sorry I can’t help myself lol)

I love this so much

I think I’ve seen videos of vets wearing oven mitts lol

Thanks for digging this up. I was picturing inline skating or ice skating and was a bit confused (i.e. roller derby is predominantly a women’s sport, to my knowledge anyway.) But I can definitely see skate boarding as a male-dominated sport. And historically, male dominated sports/spaces/hobbies haven’t been welcoming and accepting of feminist values.

Ooooh thank you. The video game plot point gives necessary context for the character’s name.

Yeah this one just made me feel sorry for the poor cat. Hopefully it was an accident or just the cat being a dingus…

So you also use a semicolon if you are separating a list and the list includes phrases separated by commas. For example:

My favorite things are lions, tigers, and bears; sugar, spice, and everything nice; and the ol’ red, white, and blue.

I came up with that in thirty seconds so admittedly it’s a bit nonsensical, but there are valid reasons to structure a sentence this way and a semicolon is the only thing helping those independent phrases stay separate and thus help the sentence make sense.

That said, I love semicolons in general; I use them for fun and for variety. They are useful for slightly adjusting the pacing of written communication, since the reader won’t treat them exactly the same as a full stop.

If it was actually useful… People would learn it organically and not need it to be explained.

People don’t learn how to read “organically;” you need instruction. Learning how to use punctuation is a part of that instruction. You learned how to use a comma or a period way back in elementary school, you just don’t remember specifically learning it. And a semicolon is a perfectly useful piece of punctuation.
