GOD. DAMN.

You know how when you do something because you have all of these good intentions that doing this particular thing is going to make you a better person or enlighten you or help you relieve the burden of whatever the f**k this thing is that you’re relieving the burden from…? And you go into a situation thinking how f**king awesome it’s gonna be and you kind of get ready for the fact that maybe it’s going to suck a little bit, but you don’t (kind of) f**king care because you’re feeling bold. Do you know where I am? Have you felt this before? And then you get into the situation and you’re in it and you realize that it’s a f**king train wreck and you can’t walk away, because why the f**k would you walk away? You’re already in it and you might as well ride this f**king horse into the ground, because you picked out the f**king horse so you might as well ride it, right?

So, that’s me. I am currently riding a horse, and it is a horse of despair and fury and every other f**king feeling that you could have, and that horse is named Kamala Harris‘s book. If you have not read it, I do not suggest reading it, particularly in this moment when the President of the United States is a piece of s**t pe*****le and people are trying to protect him and not protect him at the same time because they’re having this fake quandary about morals.

I’d advise if you do buy the book, set aside some time to not have a great day or maybe buy some s**t you can shatter or drink.

Anywho, Maple Bacon is cute as ever and progressing great and she had her second vaccine and did very well and she would like everybody to know she’s a big girl and I’m really glad she doesn’t know that everything is a f**king mess.

“If McDonald’s has a summit, Churu should have one and ask me to be their guest speaker…”

On Friday, we packed up the car (and our feelings 😭) and set off on the big goodbye adventure for our two favorite foster girls, Mavis and Emmy.

Mavis, our tiny blind queen who somehow stole the entire internet’s heart, and Emmy, her brave, purry bestie/bodyguard. The girls curled up in the backseat like they absolutely knew something dramatic was happening. (They did. They always do.)

We documented every second… The car-seat acrobatics, the mid-trip cuddle sessions, and of course Mavis’ signature “I’m small but I run this show” energy. Emmy, as always, kept her girl safe, soothed, and snuggled… because that’s just who she is.

In Maryland we handed them over to their forever family (the one who already loved them before they even met) to continue their journey home to Kentucky.

And yes, I cried (but I waited until they drove off). But here’s the thing - saying goodbye hurt because loving them was real. And getting them to the exact life they deserve? That’s the whole mission 🫶

Friday was full of feelings, beautiful ones, because Mavis and Emmy are exactly where they’re meant to be- together, adored, and already busy breaking in a whole new set of hearts. ❤️🐾✨

Two kittens. One car. Zero chill 😹

We’ve officially begun The Great Southern Road Trip, starring two tiny chaos goblins who believe every rest stop is their personal kingdom and every snack is legally theirs. One’s climbing the carrier like it’s Everest, the other’s acting like they’re the world’s smallest tax auditor, judging my driving from the backseat.

We’re stocked with treats, tunes, and an unreasonable amount of optimism. Follow along - because nothing says “adventure” like crossing state lines with two purring, biscuit-making copilots who have no idea what a road trip is, but are absolutely convinced they’re in charge.

First Day of School - Graduation.

Perfect then.
Perfect now.
Perfect always.

Happy forever, Mavis.
You stole *all* of our hearts ❤️🫶

🐾 An Important PSA from Maple 🐾

Hi. It’s me. Maple. The tiny ball of floof you cannot stop looking at. I get it, I’m distractingly adorable. Like, national-security-level cute. But maybe… take a break from staring at my perfect face and go check out those Epstein emails everyone keeps pretending don’t exist but do and now we’re getting to read them and they’re as awful as we expected them to be…

Because while I’m over here chasing toy mice and purring like an angel, there are actual monsters out there - and no, not the vacuum kind - “grown-ups who hurt kids” kind. (Spoiler: pe*****les are bad. Like, burn-in-a-litter-box-forever bad. And if you’re bending yourself into pretzels defending one because he’s your cult leader? Congrats, you’re bad too.)

So yes, admire my whiskers. Share my photo. Call me perfect (because, obviously, I am 😽)… But then maybe go demand a few answers from the humans who think kittens are easier to look at than corruption.

With love, fluff, and zero tolerance for creeps,
✨ Maple 🐾

That handsome member of Antifa is my Grandpa Mike. I’m positive if he were alive today, he would be horrified.

We hear “thank you for your service” a lot today, but words don’t keep our veterans housed, fed, or healthy. Politicians love to stand for a photo and talk about patriotism, yet too many turn their backs when it comes time to fund real care and support for the brave service members who protect our country and our rights.

I come from a family with deep military roots, people who believed in service, sacrifice, and the promise of a nation worth fighting for. Watching how veterans are treated now feels personal. It’s not just policy failure, it’s a moral one. These are people who gave everything so the rest of us could argue, dream, and live freely. They deserve far more than lip service, broken systems, and an administration that rips away their benefits

Some days, it may not feel like the country we love anymore. The division, the noise, the indifference, the hate. It’s disheartening, to say the least. But I still believe in the America that my family served for, the one that can be better, fairer, and stronger. It’s on us to fight for that future, to demand that our leaders take care of those who’ve taken care of us - at home, abroad, and everywhere in between.

Honoring veterans isn’t about one day in November. It’s about standing up every other day of the year and yelling to remind those who refuse to listen- they fought for us. Now it’s our turn to fight for them.

“Did you say, roadtrip?”

Well, it’s happening, friends. The tiniest queens of chaos, Mavis and Emmy, are packing their little whisker bags and heading deep into the South. Like sweet tea, porch swings, and “bless your heart” territory.

They’ve found the most incredible mom in the history of moms - seriously, this woman might make Martha Stewart look like a slacker.. And she’s ready to give them the royal treatment they clearly believe they deserve. 👑

Yes, it’s going to be hard to say goodbye. We’ve watched Mavis grow up, find her confidence (and her seeing-eye bestie), and turn into a full-blown diva over the last month and a half. But it’s time for their next big adventure.

But don’t worry, we’ll be capturing the whole road trip as we drive these two fuzzy drama queens down to their forever home.

So grab your tissues, your snacks, and your best “y’all”because Mavis and Emmy are goin’ South, and it’s about to be adorable chaos on wheels. 🐾🚗💨

Maple and I watched, “House of Dynamite” last night and the entire film the only thing I could think of was, “holy s**t if this ever happened in the current timeline with this clown car of *losers* we have in charge of s**t we would be so epically and totally f**ked” which not only ruined the movie but left me somewhat sleepless that Der Trump and Drunkseth are in charge of of this sinking ship in the middle of a crisis.

Anyway.

Bet that wasn’t the blurb you expected with a kitten slurping milkies, but there we are.

Meet Maple.

This little kitten has been sitting in our municipal shelter for over a week. More than a few times I’ve been asked if I would take her, but have been very hesitant, because of financial restrictions, and because of the animals that I already have in my care. I try to be very careful and remember to prioritize the animals I’m already taking care of, making sure I can afford, both financially and emotionally, to take on new babies. Which is hard. I want to save them *all* but after nearly destroying this little mission a few years ago, when I *way* overdid it, and took on way too much, and broke myself in every way a person can be broken, I taught myself to listen to my limitations. Even when the voices in my own head, and the voices around me, tell me otherwise.

Last week, the raffle and auction we held covered all of our medical debts, and this week our friends awarded us a grant, which just so happened to be the number I needed to save a new life.

That life is Maple. She is the direct reflection of the power of donations and what happens when small rescues like me, can afford to do more ❤️

Maple is 2.5 weeks and perfect. As always, I’m obsessed with her already (shocking no one 😹).

Thank you for helping me save her life 🫶

*I* don’t know about everyone else but I could use a break from the outpouring of Islamophobia hate rage and the crashout happening from folks who don’t even *live* in NYC over something that is never going to affect them or matter in their lives because, let’s be real, they were never coming here to visit in the first place and IF they did, they’d eat at the Olive Garden in Times Square and take a picture with the Naked Cowboy and complain when they can’t figure out how to read a subway map and end up in the South Bronx, not South Street Seaport.

Aaaaaanway. These two are ridiculous.
