When it comes to pictures of logs rotting in a swamp, this one is the equivalent of a Rembrandt painting…

@joat@mastodon.scot That is the deal, isn’t it? We get to feed them and care for them, and in return we have to miss them for the rest of our lives. And it‘s still worth it.

@nigelharpur@musicians.today Na, Lilu doesn’t assign blame. That smells too much of problem solving, she’s not good at that.

@jabgoe2089 Well, ideally the first, hopefully the second. With Lilu, we‘re not really expecting any learning to happen.

If you follow me, you know Lilu by now.

Lilu is one of the friendliest, cuddliest, dorkiest cats I have ever known. She is not among the smartest.

Last night Lilu spent more than an hour walking through the flat making licking and spitting noises. I grew quite concerned, but she still ate happily, and when it was bedtime she had stopped.

This morning I saw that SOMEBODY had been chewing on my chili plants.

Ich finde wirklich, darüber sollte mehr geredet werden. Denn was die #noafd hier immerhin fordert, ist die Legalisierung von Koranschulen in Deutschland!

Das sollen sie doch bitte ihren Wählern mal erklären.

If you come a bit closer, Lilu will boop you on the nose. Or pat your head and lick your nose. The latter is more likely, tbh.

@mwshook@pdx.social I always thought the collective noun for a group of bankers should be „a wunch“.

@cstross@wandering.shop @scrivenerapp@mastodon.world I bought it based on your recommendation with a vague „I might actually write one of those books someday“ in the back of my head. Never wrote a book, but it is a *great* tool to plan long RPG campaigns in.
