Does anybody know how to find a lawyer to look over a severance agreement? Preferably not too expensive, since I'm now unemployed.

Thursday would be my 19-year work anniversary. I've been repeatedly told how valuable I am and what a good job I do. I've just had my position eliminated and I'm being let go.

Why am I up? I do not want to be up. I want to be deeply asleep! Come on, brain, cooperate!

"Chevy is called the heartbeat of America for a reason". No, it's not. That's your motto. Nobody else seriously says that.

Because I am in the United States, and the SPEECH Act specifically precludes me from being sued by a bigoted transphobic miserable fascist for calling her a bigoted transphobic miserable fascist. So I can show you this report JKR doesn't want you to be able to read. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mafq8...

Opted out, of course. Mind you, this wouldn't stop someone committed to making "AI" bullshit with my image (either of me or the ones I've taken), but it really is the principle of the thing.

Monster is doing a bit better today. I'm not quite ready to stop panicking yet, but I'm getting there. (And then every time he does something even slightly out of the ordinary, I panic again. Sigh.) How you know you're going to the right place: the vet and two of the techs donated for him <3

Thank you so much to everyone who's helped out by sharing or donating (or both!) for my Monster. I've got enough to cover the initial vet visit; next is the hospital stay. He's doing okay; his checkup is on Friday, and we'll know more then. Right now he's in his box. He loves his box.

My Monster is home! 🎉I would share a pic, but he's under the bed. I hate to do this, but...the bills are excessive. (But what can you do?) gofund.me/5ec65cadf

Happy Father's Day to all the moms who had to be both parents!

Took Monster to the vet on Friday, they ended up sending us to the hospital. He has pancreatitis and his liver values were horribly high. They kept him overnight, and his one value is doing wonderfully, but a couple others are up, so they're keeping him more. His prognosis is good, but

Name a TV show nobody remembers but you. This is hard, because slash fans remember *everything*. But probably not many remember this one?

Meditation: Focus on your breath. Feel your chest move. Me: I would love to, only I lay down and now there is a cat on it.

Happy Bourbon Day to all who celebrate!

Pride today was really fun! Great to see all kinds and ages of people, and so many! It was lovely. My feet are sore, my shoulders are sunburnt, and I am exhausted.

It would have been really nice to know ahead of time that antibiotics can fuck with your mood. I've been super anxious all week.

So first-person games make me motion sick. If I play while drunk, is that more likely or less likely?

Tried to go to urgent care, but they were closed. Okay, sinuses, you have until tomorrow to get your damn act together and kill the invaders! Get at it!

Don't confuse 'canon' for 'cannon', or you'll blow yourself up & that's strictly forbidden by the Church. CANON derives from Greek 'kanōn' which was a straight measuring stick or sturdy reed. "Canon" is used by the Catholic Church to refer to official decrees: meaning 'measuring sticks of law'.

Man Fires Cannon: Boom!

Alt: Man Fires Cannon: Boom!. A dude in dark sunglasses, shorts and a floral Hawaiian shirt pulls a long cord attached to a small cannon on large wheels. White smoke billows forth, there's a muzzle flash and the cannon recoils. The man throws his hand in the air in celebration.

Tried watching Turn of the Screw. I am not Victorian enough for this horror. "Oh no! The man DID NOT HAVE A HAT!"

I tried watching Heated Rivalry. I made it through one ep. I get why people are enjoying it, and I am glad for them, but alas, it is not for me. That said, the leads are really freaking adorable.

In general love my exercise app. That said: Christmas workouts? Eh, I'll skip them. Random Christmas song in a workout I otherwise like? Sigh. I'll skip it. Being told to clap my hands "like in church on Sunday"? GTFO. Can we please just NOT? JFC (irony intended), not everybody is Christian here!

TIL my mom has a friend who will go into restaurants and order, “French onion soup without the onions.”

I got a haircut! I think it looks cute, but. I have had it this short…never. Ever.
