zelda sat very still for her meds today like a good baby, meowing pitifully instead of wiggling like a demon, and has been rewarded with her beloved refrigerated renal support wet food

zelda thinks SHE should get garlic bread (she is not getting garlic bread)

A sign of societal progress is that both of my children (now 25 and 19) were utterly baffled when I explained that the title Ms. was a controversial political statement when I was a kid. It’s completely normal to them, not worthy of comment or even something to be thought about

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.

I think it’s been too long since we’ve had some rain. A couple just *skipped* down the road past my place, in the rain, dressed in swimming attire.

fellas, is it a spoiler to find out a character is in an upcoming patch because the devs wanted people to know that the character is in an upcoming patch

zelda says the everyplate box is for HER

clocked out. as i walked to the bedroom i asked zelda "cuddle?" and she went MRAHHHHHH and ran ahead of me

half hour left. zelda just meowed VERY pitifully at me

needed to work a twelve hour day today if i wanted to keep my weekend 100% clear for reasons and oh my god this is brutal

working overtime. it is currently when i normally clock out. zelda is Not Pleased

fortune's weave and twelve kingdoms jp digital editions coming out within days of each other i'm going to be so busy

some guys are having An Argument in the parking lot across the alley, and while it didn't sound like a *heated* argument when i opened the back door to check, this is Not The Day i wanted loud continuous yelling outside

waiting patiently for her wet food (she has already had an entire can of renal support wet food today and will not be getting another)

zelda will have a taco, one at or the ither

(I would like to see more than six months pass in between intervals of Minneapolis making national news please)

shit like this is why i refuse the narrative around MPD being understaffed, underfunded or under-resourced because like another significant chunk of the force is blocking off 7th street especially between chicago & park nobody will explain how they overspent $30 million either

since we're talking about llamas please enjoy this trio of semi-domesticated llamas from my grandmother's friend's inca history museum and restaurant on the shores of lake titicaca

as the obligatory bolivian in the msp feed i am not watching the llama costume contest because none of the llamas i've actually been around in bolivia would consent to such a thing and it honestly stresses me out a little lol

star tribune is reporting the suspect in the loring park police stand off is dead. he shot multiple people including two cops

working on her just sitting in my lap while i'm wearing the sling. normally she refuses to do this but today she sat quietly for a few minutes and i made sure to give her a ton of attention. she also did a lot of bunting and squirming and put her foot in the sling of her own accord a few times

Police have closed off access to HCMC. Nobody gets emergency treatment but cops, I guess.

zelda would like everyone to know that she is shocked and appalled that i once again did not give her my burger. "i don't care if it had onions mixed in and onions are poisonous to cats, i should have a burger" she is reported as saying

KSTP reports people in Nicollet Diner reports there is active shootout in progress with two MPD officers shot, Loring Towers still the key location. - KSTP said MPD confirmed the officers involved. Multiple intersections shut down. Rene Cooper confirms 15th & Grant - multiple victims.

there’s been a shooting in downtown minneapolis. law enforcement vehicles are flying the wrong way down lasalle in loring park. sirens all over. this response is like when jamal mitchell got shot in 2025

okay apparently even though i got a fair bit of zelda's meds on her ear's inside hair i got enough on her actual ear that it's still working, she's almost done with her wet food already
