Cat Mustaches

Oh, the varied uses of cats. For those with chilly upper lips, there is the Cat Mustache (via Blogywood):

Now, I adore my cats — Boo, the sweet retriever, and Spike, the affectionate bully — but, being Manx, they are not useful for this particular purpose, as you can see:

I know you love cats, too, so remember that this Sunday’s Carnival of the Cats will be here at Watermark; send in those entries! The current Carnival is here, and this week’s Friday Ark is up.

I had a lovely, and tiring, Thanksgiving Day, so that is all for today — I hope that all of you are enjoying this holiday weekend.

Oh that just cracked me up! I would never have thought of using a cat’s tail for a mustache, but now I really want to try it! 🙂

Oh, how funny! I guess there are also other ways to detect a Manx’s presence, since there’s no periscope tail to spot.

Oh we have entered into the crazy world of moustache people. And though we lack the genes to grow a moustache of our own, boy we wish we did. We do have 12 cats between the two of us, so I’m sure you guys know what that means. Cats solve all problems. Can we just say that we love you? You’re clearly our heros.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
