A half grown black kitten lounges on a grey loveseat.

Y'know, I may not have power atm, but I have pretty easy cats. (Pic is off Elijah, the new foster, claiming the seat nearest to the fire.)

Yeah, it does, though in my experience, 4 strand round braids tend to sit more compactly.

That's what I was thinking...

Homemaker (Prairie Nightingale, #1) When a former friend and devoted mother vanishes, a con…

I really enjoyed Homemaker

in somewhat similar ways? Funny, buy cynical? Talking about real stuff, but in a far fetched enough situations that it wasn't stressful.

A lovely black kitten with ear tufts and a superb tail, perched on a bright kilim pillow, regards the camera indignantly.

Elijah has a clean bill of health, and is really coming out of his shell. And he's so cuddly! (That look is because I called his name to get him to look towards the camera. "What?!")

He still has another round of shots and a snipping before he's ready to look for his people...

That is so perfect. 🥹

This was back when they were fairly young, and they both seemed pretty comfortable with it for a cuddling position.

Two black cats lie together, giving the illusion of a black cat with two heads.

Today I am reminded of Purrberus, guardian of procrastination..

We have had the best research institutions in the world for two reasons - bipartisan support for research funding, and bipartisan support for academic freedom.

The current administration is attacking both.

This *is* the response of a moneyed institution that can raid the coffers.

This is a lot less cutting than you're seeing at many schools.

Keep in mind that they have a bunch of students who were admitted prior to the Trump cuts they must continue to support.

A lot of programs have taken in no students this year, nationwide.

I was thinking dead nettle.

(I managed to walk away before sending the last skeet. I have a bad cold, what can I say?)

He was an abusive asshole. That abuse did include me and my younger siblings.

And it also included a lot of people outside of the family.

A lot of his colleague did know me - I hung around both his lab and the company he consulted at.

She said she was glad, because she had been worried that he had come with a very young wife. (Wife being the sanitized version, I suspect.)

At the time I couldn't quite articulate how much I appreciated her kindness, and also my discomfort at knowing that her instincts really were right -

During my parents' divorce, my dad liked to take me as his plus one to various events.

Which could and should have been no big deal.

But I have this ongoing gratitude for the colleague who pulled me aside, and checked in with me, and figured out that I was his daughter.

My story is about my father.

Who, I later learned, was creeping on pretty young undergraduates (and was generally a womanizer, and my mother was an employee of his when they started dating).

He was a professor of computer science, and a consultant some of the time as well.

Really, I'd like to introduce them to due process and the rule of law. And then jail.

I'm not against a good domestic thriller. But it's hard to get excited about people whose lives are more boring than mine.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Lectures posted as videos were at least a reliable firm of delivering the material.

Though lectures - "the sage on the stage" aren't a great way to teach people. (Which is why I don't teach that way.)

Like my grandfather before me, I am antifa.

True! Though I like black kitty girls too...!

Meet Elijah, our new foster

The subtle implication that Trump v. U.S. has always been law and that a president's official acts weren't considered prosecutable when Smith started is disgustingly dishonest.

Sure! It just happened to really hit a bunch of things that freaked me out at the time.

That movie creeped me out so much.
