Friday: Cat, Blogging

With Kevin out on vacation, I volunteered my cat, George, for some Friday blogging action. (I usually blog over on Mother Jones‘ environmental blog, Blue Marble.) 

George is way more involved in the lives of the humans he shares his home with than any other cat I’ve encountered. Most cats ignore you, or only occasionally deign to hang out. But George is always all up in your business, trying to do what you’re doing. Including (actually, especially) when you’re trying to blog:

Kevin is back next week, so you’ll get the full Inkblot and Domino treatment. In the meantime, happy Friday.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
