Jesus, you know things are going downhill when a presidential frontrunner reminds you of nothing so much as this guy.

I wish I could give you double stars for those mathematical names.

Haha, that is adorable.

Huh, I might be unfairly biased against long-haired cats then. We had one as a kid, but she was a barn cat who would rip your face off when you tried to groom her, which probably contributed to all of the hair clumps the barn swallows made nests with.

And now I sound like a hayseed, so there you go. Also your cat is…

I am always impressed by people who can handle long-haired cats. They are so elegant, and yet so floofy. If I had a floofcat, our combined shedding might re-carpet the whole house.

Awww, s/he looks like a cat I had as a child. He was named Lumpy. Maybe not the most flattering name in hindsight, but he really was just a big lump of chill. Your kitty has such lovely green eyes. :D

Her name is Millie, or Millicent Vanillicent, because I am a huge dork. Pouncellor Pawpatine has also been tossed around.

I already posted a picture of her on Jez yesterday, but I’mma just leave another cute kitten pic here for anyone who needs it tonight.

A ginger girl who was, apparently, born in Hawaii before getting shipped to the mainland. My cat has been to Hawaii and I have not.

I think last night we settled on Millie over Pouncellor Pawpatine, but we’ll see which one actually gets used more.

I just adopted this kitten a couple hours ago and she is asleep on my shoulder right now, you guys.

Once BF and I were watching an amorous ram trying to do his thing on a cliff face in Wyoming (down the mountain and across a river, for safety!) We were sitting there giggling with random French tourists when the lady sheep turned around and walloped the ram right in the ribcage. She sent him sprawling halfway down…

Dude did grow up in Brooklyn and attend college in Chicago; it’s not like he’s lived in a magical white bubble his whole life. And he’s been specifically talking about prison reform and the economic plight of minorities since he announced his campaign, and before that as well. What part of his current platform do you…

So, at this point, my question is: What else should Bernie Sanders (and his supporters) be advocating to get the support and respect of BLM and its followers? What specific policies do you want to see him put forth that he hasn’t already? And if not Bernie Sanders, who do you support that will do better for these…

Hm, sounds like there is more to unpack there, then. In that case, I would give him until the end of October to propose, and then lay it all out for him if he fails to do so. Emphasize that weddings take time to plan, and you need to know his feelings one way or another so that you don’t get left twisting in the wind.…

If it doesn’t feel too weird, you could just ask him about it? That would be my approach, but I have always been very informal about wedding stuff. If you want to keep it a mystery, I guess you’ll have to live with the anxiety and anticipation building up until he proposes. He still has plenty of time and set himself…

Cysts are the worst, my sympathies.

Pretty much everyone has that feeling about Hillary; it’s because she’s a phony riding a wave of political power. We are watching her be catapulted to authority with no real convictions of her own while leaving a trail of corruption scandals in her wake, and voters are savvy enough to smell something rotten. How…

Naming a snail after someone is literally the most romantic thing I have ever heard of, and I may love your grandparents now. My boyfriend and I have a similar competition going to be the first to find a new species and name it after the other. That boy is gonna be forever enshrined in an index of Silurian sponges, or…

About to kick off a three day weekend with my boyfriend and his assorted family by scraping some more of these 30-million-year-old, agatized snail fossils out of clay and then nabbing yummy Thai food.
