Name a star after me, go on

[sovay]

Rabbit, rabbit! My poem "If it will help you think of me as Sappho" has been nominated for the 2018 Dwarf Stars Award. It was my first experiment with the form of the monostich and kind of inevitable.

Because our Brita pitcher broke unexpectedly last night, I got us a new one in the course of today's errands. I left it unattended for five minutes tonight while it was filling.



Autolycus approves.

I am glad you have such a helpful cat to supervise your household!

Only the best feline overlords in this house!

Aw, congrats! Also, lol, clearly it is in fact a cat stand, like so many things.

Thank you! Yes, it was in hindsight the local highest point.

Autolycus is a good water filtration supervisor.

Congrats on the poem!

Autolycus is a good water filtration supervisor.

He is! He's been interested in water since he was a tiny kitten. He is dedicated to his job.

Congrats on the poem!

Thank you!

Name a star after me, go on

Did you know that Bronx candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has an asteroid named after her?

Autolycus has refined the art of vulturing to perfection!

He knows where that water is and it's not going anywhere without him!

OMG, that looks like an illustration of the way a mythical character has to stand on the edge of a well but not be over the water with one foot on the ground but balancing a goat &c &c.

Only in this way can Autolycus be removed from food that is not his!

Congratulations on the nomination!

The Brita pitcher may not be a cardboard box, but it's nonetheless cat-worthy.

It's high ground and it glitters and there's water inside! It's very exciting.

If one fits, &c, Autolycus.

It is hot in Vermont. I am deeply bummed you could not abscond with us, AND ALSO MELTING.

Don't melt! How can you write smut if you melt? Besides, I would love to abscond with you to Vermont someday and it might be difficult if there's just a sort of selkie-shaped puddle on the cabin floor, I'd have to bring a bucket.
