… it’s because they are starting to caramelize, isn’t it?

I did the same thing, but it was at the rib cook off in Reno and my dad’s half dozen ribs.

Donut is finally eating the prescription food. Not the HP stuff but the novel protein kind, rabbit to be specific.

Here’s hoping she doesn’t change her mind

She is 15 and has had a good life. I don’t want the last bit to be suffering, even if that means saying goodbye sooner.

I can’t hold on to the last min this time, I won’t do it to her.

Donut hates the new cat food. She is walking around all sad, making the saddest little sounds.

Is starving to death better than intense abdominal pain? My thought is no… going to an internist to get more questions answered and see if there is a humane way to extend her life.

Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say Doesn't that make more sense than lots of people caring about Cracker Barrel?

These systems. I think folks should do whatever they can to protect their mental health while staying active in ways that protect/strengthen themselves/their communities.

Also consider this article when thinking about online rage bait:

We are in an extremely toxic place online, in general. The worst part - I suspect a majority is bot and algorithmically driven outrage. People feel powerful when pulsing with anger and online is a great outlet to vent without doing anything, which further supports the oligarchs running 1/

Finally watched HIM and… I didn’t think it was bad? The sports stuff isn’t really for me, but there was a lot of cool and disturbing imagery worthy of more than the 30% rotten tomatoes gave it.

We recently watched The Cell, which is beautiful in a similar way.

Now is also an excellent time to check your voter registration status! It’s not too late to register or make updates to your registration to participate in this election.

CA folks, I voted YES ON PROP 50.

Gerrymandering is objectively anti-democratic, but if Red and Purple states are going to do it (and they are), then the only way to ultimately put a stop to it is for Blue states to respond in-kind. Having the moral high ground won’t save Democracy.

Damn, Katie Porter, what happened? All begs the question of what else is happening when the cameras are off.

Is she being judged harshly because she is a woman? Yeah.

Is her behavior worthy of judgement? Also yeah… that get the fuck outta frame comment β€”YIKES

I’m the same way. Thankful to have a partner who doesn’t think I’m overreacting. I still remember how he sat me down to share when Ruth died… he knew I was going to loose my shit, and he was right.

My love to you. From my perspective, you’re a completely sane empathetic as reacting as such.

This is exactly how I feel. Really thankful to have the privilege to work with an EMDR therapist during this time. It’s helped me so much, everyone who needs it should have access.

Sending you and everyone else in this thread my love, support, and wishes for a more peaceful tomorrow πŸ’›

It’s funny how he has time to have an opinion on the Super Bowl halftime show but not the President calling to arrest political enemies or Epstein or anything else worth a damn.

Where is the smoking gun? This all seems really run of the mill resume and education stuff, which the majority of folks fudge at some point in their careers. Nothing even rising the to level of a full lie, more like embellishment.

This case wouldn't exist if he was white.

Tremors is a great movie… wish we had more weird/random monster movies.

Trump is now calling up National Guard troops from states to send them into other states.

He’s trying to send California troops into Oregon & Texas troops into Illinois.

This is illegal & threatens to tear apart our country even further.

He is trying to provoke a civil war.

Watching the new (old) Solaris and something about the ambient background sound makes me wanna sleep. It’s so good, as it turns out this used to be my go to nap movie for a reason.

… is that ICP??
