I guess Groot had a long day at #ErieComicCon2025 this past weekend.

You needed some fresh pictures of Vonnegut today! And a bonus shot of Arthur in one background. #adoptdontshop #catsofbluesky

Santana loves snoozing in a box by a window. She's our only real foster fail. Sweet soft girl. #catsofbluesky #tuxedocatsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Vonnegut enjoys laying on the bed of my jointer. It's probably nice and cool. Don't worry, it's not plugged in or used - my shop space is currently dedicated to foster cats. #adoptdontshop #catsofbluesky #fostercats

Hollis knows exactly how beautiful she is. We adopted her 7 years ago when she was just a very beautiful kitten. #hollisisagoofyasscat #catsofbluesky

Kittens! Siblings. Carson (light color), Curie, Truth, and Goodall. Still spicy but getting better. Mama is a solid black void kitty. #kittensofbluesky #catsofbluesky

A recent project 3D printed at @open-works-bmore.bsky.social . These are curtain rod finials for our home. I love fun filaments! The hole in the base is for a setscrew, there's a nut embedded in the print. #3Dprinting

Jimmy Swaggart is dead. Good fucking riddance.

The Republican plans are based on getting more for the money. Take the example of cutting money from health care and giving it to the military. This not only achieves deaths overseas with bombs and whatnot, it also kills Americans by denying their health needs. Multiple deaths for the same dollars!

Here is a kitten for you. Moderate spice on this one. #kittensofbluesky #catsofbluesky

To all of you who joined the protests yesterday - thank you. #nokings

I read this recently. Enjoyed it. Recommended. Looking forward to the next book.

This fine selection of Chinese pocket knives is a Father's Day gift from my son. He knows how I like my pocket knives. Turns out you can buy confiscated knives and knife-adjacent objects from the TSA. By the pound. Now every vehicle, project bag, and toolbox can have at least one knife.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Sweetie Santana spent some time with me tonight. Made me happy. #tuxedocats #catsofbluesky #8647

Trump Grants Refugee Status To Former SS Guards

Today is #3Dprinting at @open-works-bmore.bsky.social . Custom canisters and Lego-compatible bricks to mark when I create a MOC. #AFOL

Vonnegut (grey) and Arthur (the other one) say hello. #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

I was this old when a barista first made me a pretty foam design in my mocha. Powell's Books in Portland OR. Lordy what a place.

This year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are Bad Company Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast, Soundgarden, the White Stripes, and, OH MY GOD, WARREN ZEVON!

Foster kitten Vonnegut has lost his baby fangs, and our son found one. See how smol it is? Vonnegut is about 5 or 6 months old, we don't know for sure because he came from the streets. #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Vonnegut! Such a helpful boy! (he didn't know that today was his neuter appointment!) He is still a perfect kitty. #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Foster fail Santana. Check out her bicolor toe beans! #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #fosterfail

I couldn't resist putting up a couple more pictures of foster Vonnegut for #Caturday. Our house cats weren't playing with the donut and V was happy to get a new toy. #catsofbluesky

Having access to 3D printing means it's pretty easy to inject some fun into mundane functional stuff. The outside lights are to be left on but I have turned them off by mistake a couple of times. Printed at @open-works-bmore.bsky.social from a model on @thingiverse.bsky.social. Thank you!

I was finally able to get a decent overall photo of our foster Vonnegut. This adolescent guy came off the streets of West Baltimore and has turned into a perfect kitty. Cuddly, playful, and oh so handsome. That's his still-mostly-feral brother Arthur with him. #catsofbluesky

A question for the hive mind - does anyone have a good primer for doing alt text? I'm trying but don't know if I'm helping or not. Thanks.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

I make little bag tags out of scrap materials (this is acrylic) for my knitting friends. This phrase struck my fancy. #foxtrotdeltatango

Amos Burton is a very handsome boy. We adopted him a couple of years ago from our local humane society. #catsofblyesky #adoptdontshop

Miles is such a handsome boy! #catsofbluesky #tuxedocatsofbluesky

Mary Shelley left us today, off to a local shelter to be up for adoption. She really came to trust me, which is a lot for a former street cat. I'm going to miss her but will have the scars she gave me as a reminder. #catsofbluesky #blackcatsofbluesky

Kittens having a grand time with a toy. Jules (tuxie) especially digs it. #catsofbluesky

Derangement is the only reasonable response to this presidency, as he and his toadies destroy everything that makes us a great nation. Also, fuck these imbeciles thehill.com/homenews/520...

In memory of our foster cat Riker, who was with us for a couple of months in the spring of last year. A street kitty who'd seen some shit but still managed to be a love bug. He had FELV so spent the last year at a hospice in PA. We found out today that he passed away. Farewell buddy. #catsofbluesky

I'm old enough that I remember when: 1. Pay TV meant no commercials 2. Republicans believed in the rule of law.

Well played.

Meet the sock yanker. Designed by my son (and laser cut from scrap acrylic by me) to let me reach that last recalcitrant sock stuck to the back side of the washing machine drum. Works a charm! See a need, make a tool. Made at @open-works-bmore.bsky.social .

I love this stuff. And I admire the company and their positions.

Mary Shelley is one of our fosters. Her kittens, Arthur, Jules, Phillip, and Vonnegut are also with us. They all came from a colony in West Baltimore. Mary is somewhat unpredictable, but now that she's the only adult in the room she's calmer and more affectionate. Doesn't GAF about the kittens.
