We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us.

all these kittens are still here.

Please share.

[Sesame Street @sesamestreet]

When little ones hear about violent events on the news or in their communities, it can be hard to help them understand and cope with what happened. Limiting media exposure and making space for them to express big feelings can help children feel safer and more secure.

THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS HOW YOU CONFRONT THESE FUCKERS.

* stay polite

* be confrontational but not aggressive

* ask for a warrant / id / badge number

* record everything

* do it in pairs.

DO NOT GO ALONE

@alsoconnor I came to post this. When I visited the U of I, I was so impressed with their planned desire paths, I remembered them 25 years later.

@SinisterNails My husband and a neighbor saw our kid's first steps. The neighbor said not to tell me. My husband told me the whole story, to which I laughed and said, "at least you saw it and not daycare."

@kindofsquishy I did a SFW version of this with my team at work about 5 years ago. We had 5min presentations on things like how to eat when traveling abroad, picking a shelter cat to take home and love, efficiently packing a suitcase, and a few others. This is more fun. Brava!

@SusieD_LON @clhubes @theyellowdress Source https://t.co/OozJl2NIEe also happy to give you personal recommendations for Wisconsin cheese.

[Ellen Pliska @EllenPliska]

@SusieD_LON @clhubes @theyellowdress You clearly never lived on the west coast (of Lake Michigan). In 2024, Wisconsin cheesemakers earned 117 cheese awards (36.2% total cow cheese awards), beating the combined total of next six highest-earning competing counties & states at the 35th World Champion Cheese Contest.

@JaydenLibran It says Monster Camp in reverse so you can see it in a rear view mirror.

Usually this is done on emergency vehicles. I've never seen it on a school bus.

@michellemfar With books?! Don't threaten me with a good time!

[Ellen Pliska @EllenPliska]

@comicsncats @jeeyonshim You want me to show this to the cat, and have the cat tell you what it is? 'Cause the cat's going to get it.

[Collin Rutherford @collin_ruth89]

Do you know what a "bottle night" is?

Probably not, because my gf and I invented it during a 2023 blizzard in Buffalo, NY.

We lock our phones away, turn the TV off...

Each grab a bottle of wine, and talk.

That's it, we simply talk and enjoy each other's presence.

We live together, but it's easy to miss out on "quality time".

What do you think?

Do you have other methods for enjoying quality time with your partner?

[Ellen Pliska @EllenPliska]

@michellemfar Sorry for the convenience...

[Ellen Pliska @EllenPliska]

@michellemfar Wait for it.....
