This ad poll came across my feed and at first I thought it was about the weather and laughed at the optimism. Above 4??? Hah, we just now got up to 0!

Hard to believe, #CatsOfTwitter, that someone surrendered this creature.

Sometimes on spa day, when you’re last….it’s just as sweet ♥️😘Ari😘♥️ #Caturday #CatsOfX

Hate to ever say "even for a nazi," but after an incident we were party to this weekend, just gonna say: even for a nazi, it's particularly dickish to start something like that in a children's play place. What a weekend. Nazis suck.

Making sfogliatelle this weekend, and I can just hear my Italian babysitters from way back screaming about me using the pasta maker for the pastry dough, but it's amazing. It works!! Here's my dough on the pin awaiting lard.

Behold, #CatsOfTwitter, Millie Meow of the Million Meows when slightly disgruntled because I, a mere oafish human, disturbed her rest.

Sfogliatelle is in the oven. I have high hopes! The shells were super fun to do.

Final product! Not a bad first attempt.

I love my job. Sister just left the field and moved here on site. I met her this morning. Introduced herself by name, occupation, and number of times she's been arrested. Can't wait to get her files--it's sure to be amazing. IRL social justice warriors, not keyboard vigilantes.

I meant this to be Meatball reacting to the first thunder of the year, but Millie stole the scene in her typical long-winded manner, #CatsOfTwitter!

Still cannot believe someone gave up this cat.

Breaking a long silence to point out that according to the ancient cat laws, Millie Meow has transformed Husband into a Bond villain, #CatsOfTwitter . That there? Is a smug cat.

Also, recently procured the RiffTrax 🌽 album Cheep Tunes. There's something wholesome and wonderful about our 6 year old in the back seat belting out "Sam-u-rai COOOO-AAH-OOOO-AAAAHP!" She'll grow up right. She'll grow up knowing it's tacky to put a bloody head on a white piano.
