So, this is a little disturbing.

I'm a longtime reader and fan of PostSecret, a site that every Sunday publishes anonymous secrets mailed in on homemade postcards. I just got around to reading the batch posted this past Sunday, and I was surprised to see that someone had made a postcard using a photograph I or my then-partner—I don't remember which—had taken of Tornado Kitty staring down a General Patton action figure around eight years ago. The fact that someone used this photo I'd posted online isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is the abhorrent secret they superimposed over the photo of my beloved cat, who died four months ago of natural causes.

I'm not especially interested in those kinds of revelations being censored. But I do wonder about the motivation of that contributor in revealing his or her wrongdoing, and about how I can honor Tornado Kitty's memory in the face of that offense.
