The best way to honor the two who have left us recently, imo, is to keep being as gay as possible

Every day against my will I seem to be playing a game called “or is it perimenopause?” For example,
Am I burned out at work… or is it perimenopause?
Am I suffering from depression… OIIP?
Do I hate my house… OIIP?
Should I change careers… OIIP?
Am I on the verge of a nervous breakdown… OIIP?

What exactly happens to community cats during bad storms? Because this morning all my porch cats are not around and there’s a brand new cat here. Do they just get shuffled? Like yachtzee dice?

This is Mini, the least reactive stray cat I’ve ever seen. She showed up out of nowhere, already fixed. She watched from afar for maybe 10 days, looking skittish, then decided she’s part of the porch family. She’s tiny. And she would 100% let a kid put a dress on her.

At the risk of sounding corny, I think dogs and cats save us as much as we save them. These companion animals will never lie or cheat on you. They will comfort you through the hardest of times. I swear to you: adopting a shelter animal will be the best decision of your life.

This is Brad. He’s a doll baby who could use a good home. His increasing desire to be around people is causing him to do risky behaviors like be around dogs who are aggressive to cats. He’s fixed. Also I love him.

Over the course of the week, my wife has casually promised this dog that he could have some sushi and that she would listen to the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack with him this holiday weekend.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
