I wrote a post about antisemitism in Spain earlier (and deleted it because the depression is really rough rn).

But, like. For real. Spain has maintained Judenhass with no Jews for half a millennium. I do love living here. But it gets bleak.

‘Kill Jews’ cocktail rocks Spanish town’s Holy Week: ‘An expression, it’s not racist’

In centuries-old tradition, revelers seeking limonadas say they are going out to 'kill Jews' in Castilian Holy Week capital, epicenter of pr

It's not racist like the confederate flag isn't racist.

EVERYONE LOOK AT JIJI, SHE IS IMPORTANT AND LOVELY AND TINYYY

Elderly cats are so beautiful in their delicate way! 😭 I love her little white mask!

I have a lot of cats to manage, so here they are:

The caliby in the middle is Bruja, 2 years old and majestic. She was starving on the streets and walked up to me crying for help. She was so little and sick that she was easy to rescue. One day I will post a picture I took of her at that point, because the glowup she's managed is amazing.

A clearer shot of Apolonia the torbie, 1 year old and very thoughtful. She looked extremely worried when we rescued her, but she's grown up a lot since then. She has a mustache and a kiss spot and I'm very proud of her genetics.

The whole family; please ignore Fritz the orange boy's eye boogers and pay attention to his nose freckles instead. Fritz is just like every other orange cat on the internet.

Fritz also was born with a kink at the tip of his tail which makes him look like Pikachu.

And this is Duende. She is also 1 year old. She was born on the street during a major calima, and there was tons of sand in the air when she first opened her eyes. So she's had cataracts her entire life. She is extremely calm, happy, and trusting, and can rely on her family for help if she needs it.

Yo! I'm also a Jewish cat person and used to live in Spain!! If I could I'd be applying for PhD programmes back in Madrid, it's absolutely my favourite place. I wanted to say hello!

Hi there! I lived in Madrid for a few years. I still miss it. There's technically a train that goes from here to there, but I never have the time or the funds for the trip. :C Great city, though!

Do you have cats (and pictures of them)? Cats are an unalloyed good in this world
