Lola, our second stray who came inside last week, had her babies last night. Three grey and one black. They are beyond cute. ❤️ In related news, we’ve gone from 0 to 7 cats in under a year. It happens fast, y’all. 😂

A friend of 25 years passed away this week. He was only 46. Completely unexpected. Still have more questions than answers, but at this point, I'm not sure it matters. His passing is yet another solid reminder that no days are promised. Also, that grief is a non-linear bitch. Gonna miss that dude.

Today in “Stuff I’d Rather A Robot Do”… I showed ChatGPT photos of recipes I plan to make this week and told it how many servings I want, and it made me a lovely grocery list with all items combined. I’m sure some of y’all have been on this for a while, but it was a fun first for me. ✨YAY AI✨

Husband’s watching church online and I can’t help but think it’s truly a miracle that Jesus was able to get his message across without all these lights, screens, sweeping cameras, fog machines…

I’m curious… Who all is planning to participate in the economic blackout on Friday 2/28?

I think it’s nice when people cite the sources they’re holding up with one hand while thrusting their first in the air with the other this is On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder, and it’s about $12 and fits in a purse or a large pocket

Some thoughts on Wednesday-night’s tragic air accident near Washington, DC: The mid-air collision of American Airlines flight 5342 and a US Army VH-60 helicopter is highly personal for me. It literally hits close to home as I live approximately three miles away from National Airport.

Alrighty friends -- I present the next installment of "It's never just a cat"... another addition to our feral pack of love. Meet Todd. He's favoring his back left leg a bit. I wish I knew how to help him, as I fear calling him in may result in a worse outcome. Guess I'll just get more food. 😂

Three hours before graduating, my son brought home a cat. We are a dog house. We did not want a cat. Seven months later, said cat owns all of us. I also have a group of feral cats I now feed with attachments to all. And now it seems our pack has grown more. Lesson: It's never "just a cat," y'all.

“Trump has promised to pardon Jan. 6 rioters when he returns to the White House.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.

Hey, it’s one of those Mexican firefighters who came over here to take our jobs. And save our kittens.

This hangs in one of our vet’s office’s exam rooms. I’m not sure who made it but it’s clear why they framed it. Thought y’all might appreciate it too.

For those who put up a Christmas tree: How long do you wait after the big day before you take it down and why? Genuinely curious. 😁

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanza, and happy Wednesday, from our family to yours. 🤍

Today marks eight years without a cigarette and I still miss them all the time. Twelve years clean and sober, but I don’t miss that shit at all. The smell, the taste, the action of smoking, however… I’ll be a smoker until I die. I just won’t be one who smokes anymore.

Happy We-Didn't-Hit-Our-Sales-Targets-So-Cyber-Monday-Is-Extended-Again Day to all who celebrate.

Now would be a good time to call your mom to ask how long you should microwave your turkey. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️

Hello my novice baker friends! This is your annual reminder that wax paper and parchment paper are not interchangeable for one important reason: The former catches fire and the latter does not. Have fun!

Was psyched to give @proton.me a try with their 50% holiday discount. Got it all set up and realized there isn’t a way to give read/write permissions to another calendar app. Has anyone found a way to work with this? I have other accounts I can’t bring into Proton, so third party cal is a must.
