We are not Siamese, Calicos

Or oversized Maine Coons

We would never want to be

Like those feline goons

We are Meerkats with a "K"

Not really cats as such

We play in plains in Africa

Thank you very much.

There is an unfortunately titled book called Bitch, by Lucy Cooke. The author paints a grim portrait of meerkat life. Pretty brutal. I have the book in the library's collection, but it's at my desk. I have checked it out to students.

I wish I could find a copy with an asterisk, like B*TCH. It's a lovely book about evolutionary science, focusing on the females. We rule the animal kingdom.

It's a high school library. There are boys. There are boys with moms who are just itching for something to complain about. I don't need that shit.

Animal Planet’s Meerkat Manor did not hold back on brutality. So many cobra fights and tragic outcasting

NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, meerkats have no manners.

Meerkats have a canny, intelligent, problem solving expression on their cute little faces.

They still get confused with Rand Paul's hairpiece though.

A mystery

Since you mentioned Rand, they’re mammals so I suppose meerkats can get rabies.

Mine, too. I finally managed a picture of her doing it to show people when the North Cambridge Family Opera recently did an opera that has meerkats in it, "Rain Dance". This was the second time. My kid was one of the leads the first time, so I'll link to that one instead, because I'm an official proud mom--http://www.familyopera.org/drupal/RainDance#Video-Start-7.

We have a Fed election tomorrow as the extreme right knife-edges ever closer to power via junk tanks, big corporates, squillionaire donors, blah blah.

As my pals and allies are heartily enjoying J-L Cauvin at the 11th hour (how does he channel our reviled Opposition leader so perfectly!?!), 'tis only fitting to share this genius take with our American friends!!

re: Gov. J.B. Pritzker speech, they are hearing "The North will rise again. And kick your ass again." And we will too.

The DOGEFather probably thinks that badge number is special. So would any pimply barely post-pubescent male jerk who lives in a cloud Axe Body Spray and halitosis. And wonders why the girls don't want him around.

Note the number on skum's badge: 69420 ----> 69 (sex act) 420 (stoner day)

Did Elmo get his DOGEFATHER badge from the same vendor that Hershel Walker got his big boy sheriff badge. As to Don Jr's He Man Women’s Haters Club, did he get the idea from Handmaid’s Tale, "Jezebel's"?

Karoline Leavitt is at least as much of a Nazi as Stephen Miller. Who knew?

We already knew what Miller is. But Leavitt? What's her history?

When will gas prices stop being calculated to 9/10 of a penny? Is anyone actually fooled that $3.99 9/10s isn't actually $4.00? Ain't nobody got change for a penny!

It's funny, Trump is forever calling for violence and his fans are fine with that, but for a Democrat to say we need to push back against the anti-democratic forces, that's an unacceptable call for violence.

It comes from the same place in the lizard brain that feels like being CALLED a racist is worse than actually being one.

House Oversight "now does AOC get the job?"

I'd be surprised, establishment "centrist" Dems hate progressives more than (and are more active in opposing them than) they do Republicans.

Secessionist behavior is also what Republicans have been promoting for years so they can fuck right off into the sun about it now.

A STD contracted from Steven Miller eating someone's ass would be a paradoxical problem.

First someone with an STD would have to give it to Steven so he could pass it on. However the only thing that can have sex with Steven would be Steven himself since nothing else in the universe will have sex with Steven. Does this mean Steven himself IS an STD? Maybe.

Even more paradoxically the very idea of Steven Miller having sex with himself is enough to make the thought of having sex so repugnant that birthrates in the USA would drop to zero thus eliminating STDs forever.
