We adopted two cats last fall. One of them spent the first week hiding behind the water heater & was very nervous.

She now gets down from sleeping in a cat tree to stare at us implying "It is now lap sleep time" until we arrange ourselves properly for her to sleep on our laps.

This makes me so happy.

Someone from a Discord server I'm on decided to create an IRC server in preparation for the inevitable Discord collapse. Honestly, it's kind of rad.

I don't think Canadians understand just how much Americans love guns. It's distressing.

In December 2020 it had 58,291 ratings, but in June 2021 it had less than 10,000. Where did 50,000 ratings go?
