I’m torn between writing a post explaining why the calls for ceasefire are utterly disconnected from Hamas’s ceasefire record, the safety of the 240 kidnapped, and the safety of everyone living in the area, and creating an escapist post filled with cat nonsense and pen stuff. On the one hand I want to educate people, on the other hand if people wanted to be educated they’d spend 3 minutes googling before posting fictional maps of the area, calling for “ceasefire now” and ignoring Hamas leadership’s own disownment of their people, saying that they aren’t their responsibility, and having zero qualms about using them as human shield to provoke just the kind of reaction that they’re getting on social media.
So here are kitten sketches, and please take the time to fact check stuff you like and repost on the internet, even if it came from your favourite hairdresser or singer.

Yes. And, please continue with your war updates. Every bit of education helps.

Sending wishes for more sanity (I too cannot believe how readily people allow their thinking to be short-circuited). The drawings are wonderful.

If you’re using WordPress reader there are three dots at the bottom of the post and you can unsubscribe there. I don’t control the subscription system, it’s WordPress’s system, so I can’t unsubscribe you.

While I appreciate your updates, it is good for your own sanity to take a break now and again. Has your kitten been named yet?

You managed to do both in your post! 😉 Education and kittens are both important. I hope you’re doing OK.

Kittens are wonderful. It is not your responsibility to explain the absurdity of calling for a ceasefire now. As Hillary Clinton said recently on “The View”, “there was a ceasefire on October 6, that Hamas broke by their barbaric assault on peaceful civilians”.
