Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

I feel awful with this horrible cold but taking time off sick when you’re a therapist feels horrible and I’ve got a long period of annual leave coming up in April so looks like I’m going to work. WFH today though which will hopefully help.
