You are here to exist freely not to shrink yourself for the comfort of others.

An angel at rest.

A sleeping orange cat is curled up on a patterned blanket, with its eyes closed and paws stretched out in front. He is an angel while sleeping.

Pippin seemed to think that because we moved her chair to the head of the table, the rule of not getting on top during dinner no longer applied. 😺

#Caturday #CatsOfTheFediverse

An elder tortie long-haired cat is sitting on a wooden dining chair with a light green cushion. She is in a human pose as she looks over the proceedings from her spot. She is losing a little fur over her eyes and some of her streaks have turned gray. She has a focused look on her face as she seldom has been in this position before.Pippin has carefully raised herself out of the chair and is slinking atop the table edge, her head fairly low and one dark brown paw extended cautiously in front of her. It’s the kind of cat pose that goes along with being sneaky.

Guess what! The prototype of the new series has arrived. It will be available later this year in this and one other color!

The bear videos I’ve posted have either been via the trailcam or through a window from inside the house.

Not this one. Yesterday was a sweltering 96°F so I decided to cool off in the brook. From the other side I heard a grunt and then rumbling and mashing of twigs and leaves. Then I saw a furry head. Obviously, something else was looking to cool off in the brook. 😂

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

This is very aggressively (perhaps too aggressively) stated, but he's absolutely right. People are all worried their ideas are gonna be "stolen", and my friends, I can assure you that won't be the problem.

"Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats" -- Howard Aiken, Computer Engineer, via IEEE

If someone communicates their boundaries that's them trying to keep you in their life, not push you away. Don't be a dick

MAJOR UPDATE at Porcupine Bridge!

There is a baby. Repeat. There is a baby.

This is Porcupette’s first appearance on the trailcam and Mom is showing the ropes. But Baby seems… a little hesitant to cross the bridge. 🥹 And then the recording ends. Supply your own ending! 🤗

@CoachMark Enjoy the day, and pets to the Crew!

@quillmatiq Right. Supporting ATproto is a waste of time.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️
