There's no better meme than a cat meme.

We're serious, and we don't say it only because we're the internet's cat memes hub. We're the cat memes hub because cat memes are the best memes ever. Every meme is better with cats, because cats make everything better. Every meme, of whatever topic, is better because a cat is in it. It's already in a cat's nature to do the Fits & Sits, so they might as well do it with internet comedy - if they fit in the meme, they sits in the meme. And they always fit. It's just the laws of cats, we didn't invent them. But we sure are happy to live in a world that is run on cat laws. Because, again, cats make everything better.

Two very updates for Squidge Images.

The first update is we have opened up signup access for Squidge Images. Instead of having to leave us a ticket for an image hosting account, we have decided that it's been long enough, and the folks who were abusing image hosting have most likely moved on. So all that is done.

Second, and most important, Squidge Image Hosting will be down starting at 8am Pacific on Sunday, March 1st for an upgrade. Read that again.  I say this because we will inevitably get 8,000 tickets asking us why image hosting is down, and when will it be back up again. Seriously. We've seen this with FenRecs.com posts - they are completely ignored and people will log tickets asking when it will be back (later this week, we hope!).  This upgrade is important because will be transitioning from on-site hosting of images to remote hosting of images. Oh, and the upgrade should bring video support as well!  So if you have videos you need hosting and, like us, hate Youtube, you'll be able to host your videos on Squidge Images.

Again, Squidge Image Hosting will be down starting at 8am Pacific time on Sunday, March 1st for an upgrade.  We hope to be fully upgraded and back up within four hours, but we all know technology can be a giant pain sometimes.

Questions?  Leave us a message here, or leave us a trouble ticket by clicking here.

This is one litter box we don't mind cleaning out!

Having cats isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It's being woken up by the sound of a lamp crashing to the floor at 2 AM, it's constantly sweeping up cat litter and yelling "Don't eat that trash!" from across the room. The worst part, though, is cleaning their litter box. It's the closest thing we have that connects us to dog people, and we don't understand how they do with their bare hands every day. But there is one litter box that we don't mind cleaning out, especially on the weekends, and that is the litter box of laughs.

This one doesn't smell at all, in fact, it has an adorable aroma of hissterical giggles and the finest feline funnies on this side of the internet. We've got memes, tweets, threads, and pics aplenty to keep your cat-centered brain engaged and feline pawsitive all weekend! We hope that pawsitivity will last all the way through Meownday, but we can only do so much. We may be self-proclaimed meme wizards, but that doesn't make us meowgicians.

But in all seriousness, we love ending our weekends with a wholesome scroll of some purely funny cats. It's a way for us to rest and reset before we start yet another work week. It's our little pocket of joy that helps us stay sane in this crazy world we live in. It's healthy to have something to help you escape, and cats seem like a pretty harmless one to us, all things considered. So enjoy these silly slides of funny felines and we wish you a purrfectly pawsitive end of your weekend!

Bonded pairs of cats should never be separated. 

People who say that cats are solitary creatures who don't feel the need to bond with anyone don't even know how wrong they are. When cats bond with someone, they bond hard. It could be us that they bond with. Cats love their humans in ways that words could never express, but their actions show it. Or it could be cats bonding with other animals, specifically other cats. In fact, such bonds are common enough that the internet has given them a name: bonded pairs. 

Bonded pairs of cats are something special. They are connected with one another on levels that we could probably never understand. But we see it - when they are together, they thrive, and when they are not, they are lethargic, sad and irritable. They need each other. And it is our duty to make sure that they stick together. Some shelters even go as far as to reject applications to adopt if the adopter is looking to separate one bonded kitty from another, even if it means that both cats stay in the shelter longer. Because it's better to be in the shelter together than anywhere else apart.

It's been a rather stressful week, and most of the time I've been very down on myself, mostly for procrastination. But I got through it. I think I'm supposed to count that as a win, even though it doesn't feel like it.

I did figure something out, though. I often (usually?) procrastinate things that may require a decision, because when I finally get around to them the decision often (usually?) turns out to be wrong. (The decision is sometimes to skip something with a time limit, and then regretting not going for it while I had the chance. Same thing.)

Now that Discord has started age-gating NSFW channels and servers, many people (including me) are looking for alternatives. Especially since it was revealed that their age verification vendor Persona left frontend exposed, researchers say. In particular, people are looking for open source alternatives, since those are less likely to be enshittified in the future. We have some time, because most fannish discord communities have few, if any, NSFW channels, and because moving a community is always an extremely lossy process (as those of us who left LJ for DW remember well) and not to be undertaken lightly.

It's concievable that matterbridge could help hold things togather. Not counting on it. I hate this timeline.

You should also replace links that use archive.today, which includes archive.ph et.al., which I have lots of links to. That's going to take a long time. See also Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links.

Links: You can find Babylon 5 on YouTube HERE. OpenFactBook - Country Data & Statistics is the replacement for the CIA's recently-shut-down World Factbook.

Spent the afternoon at Hugh and Meredith's, where Hugh showed Sophia how his 3d printer works (and how he makes 3d dungeons out of foam). Very cool stuff, and they both enjoyed their souvenirs.

Sometimes cats enter a full house, and that's no less wholesome than them being your first pets.

You see, adopting your first cat can happen in a multitude of ways. Whether it's a childhood cat, a weird case of finding a cat in an unexpected place (usually the courtesy of the Cat Distribution System), or planning on adopting a cute little fluffball to add to your domestic zoo of pets you have at home. But sometimes it's a surprising, unexpected CDS delivery, even if you're a self-declared dog person.

This one woman already has two dogs - and that's got to be a handful. Two doggos running the show, borking and wagging, excited and happy. But then a neighbor alerts her that, hey, you have a crying kitten under your tire! She might be a dog person, but it doesn't mean she's going to skip helping a purrfect little void in need. And, you know what? We're so proud of her. We're all cat people here, but we have a very special corner in our hearts dedicated to non-cat people who still lend a hand, give from themselves to help a cat, and maybe even turn into a cat person in the process.

Cats love to play the "cool and disconnected" character, but deep down, we know that they're all secretly derpy divas. It's our job as cat owners to reveal their inner truth for the whole internet to see!

We're convinced that cameras were invented for the sole purrpose of exposing cats' true nature. We know that there are lots of other things to take pictures of, but literally none of them interest us except for cats. And if you're reading this too, we think there's a good chance that you probably agree with us. And since the invention of cameras, people have been taking pictures of their cats (amongst other things, of course). Since then, cat lovers have been on a purrsonal vendetta to show people that cats aren't as cool, calm, and collected as they like to be purrceived as.

What do you think of when you think of cats? You think of sleek, fluffy creatures that always land on their feetsies. Of cute creatures that nap all day, swat at you if you pet them too many times, and are hesitant around other hoomans. But, cats are quite the opposite! They're actually the silliest creatures we let live in our houses, and these purrfectly documented pics below are our proof. 

The immaculate images below show felines fully embracing the derp within, and believe us, they have more derp inside than you could ever imagine. If we had to give you one example, it would be that we've caught our cat trying to chew on the hanging metal switch on our lamp than we can count. It's not edible, nor is it remotely tasty (we tried). And yet, it's still their furvorite pastime.

This is just one of many things we can tell you, but it's easier to show you, which is why we've collected all these hilariously funny felines caught on camera. They can't hide it anymore, these purrfect pictures are furrever immortalized on the internet, and now their secret it out. We only hope we don't come home to find something in all of our shoes when we get home.

In a world full of seriousness and chaos, what we need is a serving of pure silly nonsense. 

We really do mean that. We are the kind of people who try to find joy in the little things. And although some days it is harder than other days, we still make an effort. And we make an effort to bring that joy to you as well. Of course, you might find that joy in friends, in family, in doing your favorite activities and working on your hobbies, but these things are not always available right away. What is always right there for us though - the one thing that never fails to make us smile - are hilarious cat memes.

All it takes for a frown to be turned upside down is a few minutes of scrolling through silly cat memes. Or at least, that is how it works for us. It's why we keep collecting these funny cat memes for all of you guys. Because we love knowing that we're helping bring you the thing that will make you smile. And also because we just love doing it. Hey, we're allowed to get two birds with one stone, right?

A pretty day, albeit chilly; I should probably have attempted that mowing.

Another sign of spring coming on: the first smooshed opossum I've seen in years. It was bad; I walked over there with a plastic bag, performed recovery and disposal. Poor critter.

My daughter “Melody” is in the midst of the terrible twos. Five or more meltdowns per day over normal frustrations/limits are typical. Recently, my mother-in-law, “Darlene” took Melody and my 6-year-old son out to run errands, and true to form, Melody had a blow-up. It was how Darlene handled it that has me seeing red. She told Melody that she was leaving her in the store and that she could find her own way home, and left her screaming on the floor! She then moved off with my son, out of my daughter’s view, and waited for several minutes before coming back for her. I only learned of this later when my son told me what happened.

When I confronted my mother-in-law, she claimed her method was helpful because Melody behaved afterward. And she said Melody was “never in any danger” because she kept her in sight at all times. After this, I no longer feel safe with Darlene going places with the kids without my husband present or me. Sadly, my husband is no help. He agrees that this was a good “lesson” in behaving for our daughter and that his mother used to do it to him and his sister when they were kids! Please tell me I’m right in telling Darlene her days of taking the kids solo are over.

This is the winner of the comics/art poll this month! Please enjoy this goofiness... and for added bonus, I'll add the sketch as well!

This was a silly 2016 cooldown sketch from back when I did livestreams. (I have been saying for years that I'd like to start doing them again, but sorry y'all, our art program just doesn't work on Linux. We haven't been able to do digital art on this comp reliably since we got it in Thanksgiving.)

If you live in the BosWash Corridor, especially in NYC-to-Boston, you need to be paying attention to the weather. We have an honest to gosh Nor'easter blizzard predicted for the next 3 days, with heavy wet snow and extremely high winds – the model predicts the damn thing will have an eye – which of course is highly predictive of power outages due to downed lines.

Plug things what need it into electricity while ya got it.

Whiteout conditions expected. The NWS's recommendation for travel is: don't. Followed by recommendations for how to try not to die if you do: "If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle."

I would add to that: if you get stranded in your car by snow and need to run the engine for heat, you must also periodically clear the build-up of snow blocking the tailpipe, or the exhaust will back up into the passenger compartment of the car and gas you to death.

As always, for similar reasons do not try to use any form of fire to heat your house if the regular heat goes out, unless you have installed the necessary hardware into the structure of your house, i.e. chimneys, fireplaces, and wood stoves, and they have been sufficiently recently serviced and you know how to operate them safely. The number one killer in blizzards is not the cold, it's the carbon monoxide from people doing dumb shit with hibachis.

NWS says DC to get 2 to 4 inches, NYC/BOS to get 1 to 2 feet. Ryan Hall Y'all reports some models saying up to 5 inches in DC and up to three feet in NYC and BOS.

2026 Feb 21 (5 hrs ago): Ryan Hall Y'all on YT: "The Next 48 Hours Will Be Absolutely WILD...". See particularly from 3:30 re winds.

If somehow you don't already have a preferred regular source of NWS weather alerts – my phone threw up one compliments of Google, and I didn't even know it was authorized to do that – you can see your personal NWS alerts at https://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php , just enter your zipcode. Also you should get yourself an app or something.
