We’re finally tackling the endless question — which of my and my friend’s cats is the best? Who can truly come out on top as bestest girl or boy?

PROPAGANDA:

Crème Brûlée (MY cat): Worlds most nervous girl. She tries to cuddle ice cubes because she loves them, but then cries when they melt.

Miette (my family’s cat): Gonna be honest Miette consists mostly of crime and nothing else. Steals soup on the regular. Bites your ass when you aren’t looking.

Mora ( @bmoshh ‘s cat): She’s pretty, she’s a princess, and she’s a professional Halloween decoration! Plus, her name is “blackberry” in Spanish. What more could you need for propaganda? Just LOOK at her!

Charlie ( @autumnastra ‘s cat): More circle than cat, probably the fluffiest thing I’ve ever seen. Best Blep on the planet!

Zuko ( @autumnastra ‘s cat): He’s orange, so he’s a little special. But he’s bringing the cuteness nonetheless.

Heyes ( @readingandsiamese ‘s cat): Heyes is very proud that he won best dragon costume on Halloween 2025. Anxious sweet boy that demands cuddles.

Curry ( @readingandsiamese ‘s cat): Curry, unfortunately, won WORST Phoenix costume of 2025. It’s okay little man you’re rocking it nonetheless

Thor ( @trans-cowboy-archivist ‘s…. Cat?): Thor gets a spot on this poll because his eyebrows are just SO on point. Tell him he’s a good boy! He thinks he is a lap dog but he is 90 pounds.

CJ ( @jadedragon1903 ‘s cat): 15 year old lady who has only three teeth. This does not stop her from trying to steal your Cheetos. Likes to be pet with your feet so she’s a little freaky

CJ (Callie Jr.) further propaganda bc I will not stand for this true slander against her old lady name

She loves belly rubs and will flop over in front of you in order to coerce them out of you, she will wait very impatiently for you to pet her in this position, sometimes for several minutes

She is #1 cuddle bug and we affectionately call her "doom" because when she lays on your lap like the little heater she is, she will make your ass konk out in about 10 minutes flat, she will move from one person to the next until everyone is participating in group old lady naptimes

She absolutely can and will use you as a pillow until she decides to get up and tell about her food or other needs. She also can squeak, loves being carried over your shoulder and will yell about not getting enough attention

Heyes is also too smart for his own good and gets into everything! He is clever and anxious and sweet but js also a little thief and all about breaking and entering. XD

Guys, queers. Specifically my fellow queers.

I work at a library. We do this thing where, every so often, we weed the collection. It hurts to see books go, but it's necessary to make sure there's room in the library for new materials.

I have seen so much support for the library in text, and I've seen folks pass around those beautiful "queer your library" flyers. Keep doing that. That's great. Nothing wrong with that. But you HAVE to turn your words into action. We MUST remember to actually go to our local organizations and libraries and actually, with our own fucking hands, interact with these materials we want to see more of.

My branch is medium-sized for a library, maybe a little small. We don't have as many materials as I'd like, but we have fundamentals. Tell me why, even with all the verbal support I've gotten from my local community for the library as a resource for our LGBT+ community, every single trans biography and a good chunk of our vaguely queer theory books were on the list. This isn't a scheme to take the books off the shelves, it isn't another bigoted American governmental push. The only thing we look at when we weed is how long it's been since the last time the item was checked out.

Three years.

No one in my community interacted in any meaningful way with the few books on trans life and history we physically had on the shelves for three fucking years.

I promise you the materials you want and need are there, but this isn't a horde. This isn't a static safety net. You have to use them. You MUST use them or, in the future, maybe in three years, they *won't* be there anymore.

This isn't a vague post, there's no one person I'm hinting at or calling out. I'm not even talking directly to anyone who's directly in my line of sight. I just want everyone to hear this. Big library, small library, whatever. Doesn't matter. Please, we cannot be losing our shelf visibility like this.

I'm really surprised how many young fiber art people don't know that they can get pattern books from their local library. So as a PSA:

Your local public library has pattern books! They have crochet, knitting, weaving, and quilting pattern books! If they don't have the book you want, or the craft you want, you can ask for us to get it for you! It's free!

A lot of libraries also have free crafting ebooks and videos you can watch through their digital downloads or databases! Either go into the library for books or look online for eBooks qnd videos. I know our library has Craftsy videos through hoopla and another in the state has an amazing crafting database. Check out your library, you never know what you'll find.
