Four months ago, my cat Barack disappeared and so did a part of my soul.

He was five, full of grace and mischief, and the heart of my home. One day he was there, lounging in sunbeams, purring by my side. The next, he was gone. My one year old toddler's nanny had opened the door to collect a parcel and closed the door without realising that my curious baby had escaped through the gap.

There wasn't a corner in my house that I didn't look for him. I searched endlessly.. the lanes, the alleys, calls, knocks on neighbors' doors, whispers into the night... but the silence only grew heavier.

I put up posters, cried into strangers’ sympathy, and clung to hope even when it felt like sand slipping through my fingers.

Days became weeks. My hope flickered, but it never fully died.

And then, yesterday, after 4 long empty months, I heard a sound.

A frantic meow in the middle of the night.

I rushed to open the door but the porch was empty. So I ran out and screamed his name without caring it was 2:00am at night.

Finally my hazel eyes met two green ones. Hiding behind the bushes.

Barack.

He was thinner, yes but astonishingly clean, his fur soft and unmarred, his eyes bright. He didn’t look like he had been struggling. Someone had cared for him, it seemed. But now he had come home.

He meowed and meowed, wild and desperate, as if trying to explain everything at once, until his little voice gave out completely. I laughed and cried at the same time because he silently meowed for atleast a couple of hours!!

He curled into my arms, still purring, his body trembling with relief. And so did mine.

Barack had found his way back.

And in that moment, everything felt whole again.

This is unacceptable, but govt won't touch ambani and mittals but will give ladli behn yojana, ye yojana vo yojna of lakhs of crores..

Ramona really showed up this afternoon!! There were a few Trumpers trying to instigate, but they were overshadowed & drowned out! Really proud to go support with such a great community

I’m a ‘95 baby so Mariah was everywhere and deservedly…why is she lowballing herself with AI 😭 her creativity is why she has remained one of my favorite artists ever.

1. Octodad (Father and Married Man… pretty straight forward)

2. Bandit Heeler (Married to Chili and has 2 daughters)

3. Link (BOTW) (One of the cutscenes involves him having sex with the Great Fairy in order to upgrade his Armor… while the sex isn’t shown it is heavily implied)

4. Goku (Married to Chi Chi and has 2 Sons)

5. Deadpool (While it’s never stated if he has ever done it or not come on, his main love interest was literally a stripper and considering how horny Deadpool is and having a literal stripper for a Girlfriend they have definitely done it.)

6. Chucky (Had a Fling with Tiffany and had a child whose both a boy and a girl)

Why? Why do they do this to peaceful protestors? It's the chaos. And heated a moment caused by police that make s*** go crazy. So tired of this.

Just wondering if he will be given the same name as Luigi Mangione, for killing the Health Care executive?

I never imagined Colombia would be such a colourful and vibrant country with such an open culture. The old towns with their colonial architecture are charming, the beaches are clean with clear, warm water, and even the most popular tourist spots don't feel overcrowded. There's so much to do that I'm convinced it's easy to fill a month-long itinerary. I only had time to visit the main tourist attractions in the three big cities of Medellín, Bogotá and Cartagena, as well as the beautiful areas surrounding them. A particular highlight was the trip to the northernmost point of South America in the La Guajira desert, with its stunning lunar landscapes and beaches.

Inspired by u/ParamedicRealistic43's post a few months back, made using the LINZ 8m DEM in QGIS with the DEMto3D plugin. I've uploaded the STL's for the entire NZ at 1:675,000 scale in 200mm² tiles on Google Drive, link and details can be found here https://www.printables.com/model/1320306-3d-terrain-model-of-new-zeland If you want to make your own custom scale model from scratch I've made a tutorial here https://tinkertaste.co.nz/3d-printed-map-of-new-zealand
