Transcription A Bluesky post from "Slippy", @damnslippy.slippy.me, with a profile picture of a woman with short, purple hair holding a knife: Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they \\\can\\\ talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them." :::
i’ve been feeding my dog chicken thighs after her last hungerstrike. She recognizes the difference in between my knifework on sausage/veggies and chicken.
My cats tell me when it’s dinner time, not the other way around :)
My dogs have learned that the sound of a knife on the cutting board means there’s a chance food of some kind might make it to the floor, so they come running.
