No problem!
Cats are odd beasties, kittens in particular. She’ll be back. Try giving her paper bags, cats love to dive into bags for the dark space and the crinkly noises.

Why does my kitten like to crawl under blankets?
Cats like soft, dark, enclosed spaces. Probably also to chase after rustling noises that sound like there might be a mouse or something under there.

Yea guys. Me too. I want black women. I want the Queen of Junkertown, and I want her to be a member of the First People. I want obvious, canonical LGBTQA+ characters, especially trans and non-conforming ones. I want anglo-saxon and West European characters to just stop being released, for God’s sake, we have too many of those. I want more “good” aligned dark-skinned characters like Lúcio, I don’t want the bad white people only to be of an endangered culture like Moira, I’m tired of morally questionable POCs like Sombra and Symmetra.
But fuck me if I’m not stoked to have an absolutely ridiculous space hamster in a ball.
Not everything gaming does needs to be politically charged on purpose. They created a moon gorilla. They like going ridiculous on Overwatch.
We still need to press for more actual representation on the OW cast, we shouldn’t stop. But Hammond is ok. It’s absurd, ridiculous fun. We need fun.

Photographer Tarek Mawad and animator Friedrich van Schoor just spent six weeks embedded in nature to create Bioluminescent Forest. The filmmakers state that everything you see was created live, without any effects added in post-production.
Concept: a post-apoc survival game where the premise is that the previous batch of heroes stopped one of those allegorical JRPG-style apocalypses, but the physical consequences didn’t magically undo themselves afterwards, so now everyone has to to deal with symbolic bullshit like your agricultural land being replaced with forests of stone hands, or that giant eyeball where your capital city used to be. The tone could be horror, but it’s not; rather, the emphasis is on how incredibly inconvenient it is for everybody that pieces of the world have been transformed into half-baked metaphors for hating your dad.
zero light plants
THIS IS SUCH A SPECIFIC AND SUPER NECESSARY POST.
They’re all easy to care for, too. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soaking wet, and voila.
Bromeliads usually die after they finish blooming, but the rest of these will happily grow until the end of time.
Summer tips!
Summer is upon us folks, and this year’s looking to be a real scorcher. This Bushveld rain frog [Breviceps adspersus] wants to remind you to all stay cool this season. It’s okay to use your hind legs to dig a little hole in the moist soil to sit in. It’s not weird! In fact it’s great exercise, helping to give you magnificent glutes and hammies while the rest of your body remains a perfect sphere.

This is not as melodramatic as it sounds:
Get that IUD. Stock up on birth control. Snag some morning after pills. Get a passport/make sure yours is updated.
What’s next at the Supreme Court will set us back generations.
Roe will be overturned as soon as they get that seat filled and if you think I’m exaggerating I’d urge you to look at the opinions this term and then consider what happens when all we have are Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan filing gorgeous, fiery dissents that will make absolutely no difference in what will come to pass.
Especially if you live in a state with a “trigger” law. Do it. Do it now, uterus owners. Protect yourself while you still can.
I was just discussing this. I think I’m going to.
I just refilled my BC, buuuut I should do that.
