Only one of your parents loved Douglas Adams. It wasn’t me.

I rarely give five stars to anything, but "All The Little Bird-Hearts" by Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow is one.

This book shattered me, making me feel all the feels and then some. At the heart of it is the relationship between a neurodivergent mother and her teen-aged daughter. Could trigger some folks.

Our current cat eats treats but never deigns to beg for them.

That was a fun day, wasn't it, jj? I felt sad to hear that Mr. Sims had died but glad the museum is still there and available for visiting. What a great example of someone following their passion!

i really do think it is terrifying that technofascism’s ultimate goal is eliminating human-ness from
the world. we may be fucked up and we may fuck up in any number of ways but people being people in all our incredible variance and depth is what makes the fabric of life so rich

Damn! So sorry to hear this. You are loved by many. Stay strong!

I currently have 258 followers. Why?

I assume we all have an aversion to the color orange and are supportive of human rights for all people.

Why else did you follow me? Rude answers will get you blocked.

I wish I could attribute to author

PSA: if you don’t want your child to be gay, trans, etc. then just don’t have kids. This isn’t fucking build a bear. You don’t get to pick and choose these things about your child. You aren’t ready to be a parent if you aren’t ready to love them unconditionally.

Glad to see that there’s been enough of an outcry to get that funding restored.

This is/was a landmark study during my career as a medical librarian. This Administration is burning the libraries of both American and international knowledge. I’m crying. So should you.

Sorry this is happening. You're right, the cats will be very upset.

I don’t read a lot of books more than once but the two you mentioned by Connie Willis are on that list. And like you, I chose the audiobooks this time around.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

By accident, I saw a LinkedIn discussion about tomorrow’s planned monetary boycott. The discussion was quickly overrun with right wing folks exulting in how they would spend more to counter the effect of the boycott. Ugh!

Is there no end to the heinous and treasonous actions of these people? Seems not...:(

I have been reading the Washington Post my entire life, but today I cancelled our subscription. Its politics have been steadily moving to the right, and staffers whose opinions clash with the owners are being quashed. Freedom of speech is important to me, as is freedom of the press. Bye, WAPO.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
