Came back here just in time to see official structural support for antitrans bigotry and mocking of trans perspectives from the highest public position. Fucking hell, maybe all money fueled platforms are cursed to woo rich bigots and their bootlickers.

Let’s put this to bed.

Thomas does know he's black, right? He has to know, and yet...

Waite is officially my cat(child). He's learned that he also loves bean paste dumpling or bun filling, and will shove his face into mine until he gets some.

Fed all the cats and myself. Showered. Took all pills and supplements. Flossed and brushed my teeth. That should be enough for a full day, right?

Every day that I wake up and see both he and his understudy are still breathing is a disappointment.

I set aside a bowl of grated sweet potatoes while preparing Thai red bean stew and turned around to see my kitten Waite on the counter, happily eating from the bowl.

LinkedIn recommended I follow Jordan Peterson. If anyone was looking for another sign of the site's absolute uselessness and impending death, here it is.

I can't wait until Peterson merit's a "Who?" response. Into the bin with him.

Reading "The Mushroom at the End of the World" (strongly recommended) and every time Tsing writes *salvage* accumulation I struggle not to read it as *savage* accumulation.

They're usually good at one thing only: a jargon rich con game. Fuck these assholes.

And yet their barely literate followers still seemingly believe that voting Repub will make them well off.

Sam spent the day at the vet; she seemed to be having issues urinating, so I wanted to get her checked out. They gave her gabapentin because she's grown to really hate the vet's office, and now she's wide eyed, a little unsteady, and trying to settle in to ride it out

It's so quiet when all the cats are asleep.

Elon Musk is an apartheid nepo-baby failson desperately trying to fill the holes in his heart with external validation from nazis, fascists, bullies, and bigots. All his money (which is blowing away as his stocks plummet) can't buy human connection.

Amal El-Mohtar's "The River Has Roots" is the perfect book to savor in the quiet liminal time between obligations, quiet morning before too many people are out. Highly, highly recommended. I'll be sad when I finish it.

How long until Fetterman pulls a Sinema? I've got a profound case of buyer's remorse.

What's the ratio of malice and stupidity that keeps these obviously unhealthy, visibly old assholes alive well past their expiration dates? Is there a checklist for numbers of people harmed relative to extra time?

I've got a sore throat from sinus/allergy issues, so what's my strategy? Chili infused naan with spicy mango pickles to make it burn as well as ache.

I'm not sure if I'm chasing endorphins, trying to confuse my discomfort, or something else.

I'm sure he has a taster, but I'm also sure that person is underpaid and suffers regular abuse. I can see letting some questionable stuff through.

Continually amazed no one has taken a shot at Elmo, or slipped him some spiked ketamine yet.

"The Tomb of Dragons" (Katherine Addison) came out yesterday and I overlooked it somehow. I guess I know how I'm filling every spare minute today.

LinkedIn recommended I follow intellectual lightweight Jordan Peterson and inspirational scam artist Tony Robbins this morning. WTAF? Looks like their algorithms are as "quality" as the rest of their site.

Any time I vacuum I miss my cat Lily, gone just over a year at 17. She'd look at the machine, decide it had nothing to do with her, and go back to sleep every time while the other cats slunk away.

One thing I don't understand about martial arts/crime revenge stories is the mook who watches the anti-hero take out 20 of their colleagues but still decide, "Hey, I have a serious shot of taking this revenant out all by myself". There should be a lot more running away.

Inspired by "Demon City"

I've discovered the work of Aliette de Bodard, and am smitten. If the body of her work is even remotely similar to "Navigational Entanglements" I'll have so many good things to read.

It's why I haven't been to FL since 2022.

I'm still refining arguments that took place 15-20 years ago.
