Your occasional reminder not to end characters’ names with ‘s’ unless you’re ready to write a lot of awkward s’ or s’s

My cousins (best friends growing up) had it. No idea why, as none of us was particularly religious. 😁

Best wishes for full and speedy recovery.

As we previously discussed, this is rough virus. My husband wasn’t the same for at least a month. Still says he can’t taste anything and has foggy vision.

I hadn’t thought about the humidity aspect!

That sounds amazingly delicious and utterly indigestible (for me). 😄

Yes. Knowing is enough. Adding to the outcry is enough. Pressuring your reps is enough. Telling your “not political” family & friends this happened, again, is enough. Supporting Minneapolis during this escalation of threat/action is enough.

I have an appointment at 2 pm. After that I can hunker down for the incoming weather. I’m kind of looking forward to it, the hunkering.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I certainly have plenty of contempt for this Congress.

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate.

Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer.

We can’t lose hope.

I laugh every time.

This is my regular reminded that if your clothes are full of tear gas and/or pepper spray, air them for a day if at all possible and then wash them twice ON COLD.

If you come home and throw them in on hot right away you will kinda gas your laundry room. <3

Here's a photo of a lovely tortoiseshell kitty with my hand resting on her back.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

I can’t remember who was here for this, but quite a while ago I was trying to remember a quote I was pretty sure was from Heinlein, and I finally found it, and it was. In case anyone is interested.

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

A large great gray owl is silhouetted as it spreads its wings high above its head in the reddish glow of the setting sun as it balances atop a thin spruce tree.

I've been lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph great gray owls many times, but this moment was really special. #birds 🌿

This is coming from a place of love and support, but…

It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’

It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’

It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’

It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’

It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

did you know? insurance companies knowingly deny claims they expect to approve later, counting on the fact that certain percentage of customers won't file a complaint or challenge the decision. this practice helps boost their profit margins.

More than I’ll ever eat lol.

This says it all.

Made the best biscuits and sausage gravy of my life and no one here to eat it with.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Reminder that free will exists and New Year’s resolutions don’t have to suck. Resolve to eat every kind of cheese, pet every dog you see, resolve to take pictures of clouds and look up what you see. No one needs to be a “better version of themselves” when they can visit every local brewery.
