How bad is women's health care in the US? I found out that multiple cousins died of breast cancer in my family but they "were on the paternal side." My doctor referred me for genetic testing - but the earliest appointment is in JUNE 2027. How are women supposed to be able to get information?

jojo was mad that I chased her around, but she went into the sewing room to hide in one of the lavender cubes. I put down a tray of food and about 945. She started snacking on it. She took several trips back into the cubes and out to the tray, but look at the second video at how much she ate!

After a 5 minute chase, Jojo got two cans of food and was mildly interested but doesn’t seem to have eaten much. i’m going to leave her with her tray of food for another 20 minutes and see if she returns to eat more.

Jojo did not want kibble or tuna - but at 6 she finally ate some wet food, almost 2oz!

and this picture, Jojo is sitting next to Miss Mercy Buttercup and there are two dishes of food in front of them: a stainless steel dish with brown cables and a blue Willow saucer with some cooked tuna. Miss Mercy looks a little annoyed because Jojo is crowding her personal space.

When you are Hungary enough to eat the rich. Hungary is imposing a wealth tax on all assets exceeding one billion Hungarian forints ($3.1m USD). Just 63 years ago, the US taxed its highest incomes at 94%. It has been repeatedly lowered since then to its current rate of 37%.

Starting next year, Hungary will introduce a wealth tax on people with assets exceeding 67 million forints — a measure that was one of the election promises of the Tisza party, which won a decisive vi...

Jojo Update - Sunday PM - she is acting a lot more more and she’s also vocal!?!?! did she decide that she is a cat who meows after 11 years of the occasional little chirp and not really any meowing? I think she’s copying Tony.

Tony and Eclipse snuggles in the cat bedroom cubby today

in this picture, a ginger tabby tuxedo cat is snuggling chest to chest with a black cat. The ginger kitty has his paws nestled between the front legs of the black kitty with his feet up under the kitties armpit. They look very cozy.

Jojo Update: Slightly better running away and the hiding under her favorite dining room chair this time. When I put her down on the kitchen floor instead of just running away — she stopped to investigate what Seamonster was eating. Interested mostly due to FOMO.

jojo has a little white spot on her belly that nobody ever gets to see

in this picture, the photographer is holding a small black cat belly up with all her legs in the air. She looks very mad. There is a little piece of Bonito flake stuck to her nose. You can see the little horizontal white stripe across her belly between her two back legs.

Jojo’s afternoon PT - I put her in the bathroom with four dishes of different food with taste. Temptations crumbled on top of the kibble and Bonito flakes. I think she ate Bonito flakes, but that was about it and she’s walking a little bit better now.

jojo dragged herself out to sit in the sun, and then she was furious that I took her to the bathroom to give her some food

tell me about the best vacation that didn’t go as planned that you’ve had. It could be you’ve had multiple I know I have. I went to Kauai with someone I was dating about 18 years ago - we had planned to hike the Kalalau Beach Trail and spend the whole time camping.

Jojo mobility update - I had to give her the anti-nausea medication three times because she is very stubborn and would not swallow and it leaked out of her side of her mouth. She ate a little bit of kibble in the bathroom and then started actually meowing to be let out which is a new behavior.

this is how Jojo is moving as of earlier today. She’s still out in the main part of the house and I’m still able to catch her even though she tries moving away from me. Maybe we’ll just consider this her physical therapy? She will be spending the night in the bathroom.

Valentino was very satisfied with dinner this evening

A large seal point Siamese is sitting on a light maple hardwood floor with his back to the photographer, but turning over his left shoulder gaze at the photographer. There is late afternoon, light coming from the left side, illuminating his right eye while his left eye is visible, but still a little shaded. He has a very dark brown seal color all over his face and ears and tail.

The boys after breakfast: they were very content. They ate their food and then went to the sunlight. Nobody bothered me looking for extra food. They didn’t run around, trying to clean off everybody else’s plates. That tray was so clean.

in this picture, there are three cats sitting on a light blue carpet with gray pattern in the sunlight coming from the left. The sunlight forms a nice big rectangle, casting a shadow for the black cat sitting on the left. The seal point Siamese is lying down closer to the foreground and another black cat to the right behind him and they’re all looking toward the photographer, although the Siamese is squinting his eyes because he doesn’t like bright light

with JoJo sequestered in the bathroom to recover, I decided to take a shortcut and feed the boys all on one plate. They didn’t seem to mind so.

in this picture, the cats are eating breakfast in the kitchen. The square multicolored tray is covered with wet cat food and the four cats are sitting at respective quarters two black cats are across from each other. The ginger tabby is at the upper left and the seal point Siamese is at the lower right

Reason #1 I am a terrible queer: I don’t dress the part. Not butch enough. Not femme enough. Too straight looking. Indifferent to your efforts to be butch/femme - are you happy is more interesting. Makeup looks like makeup.

Mayor Jojo is not feeling well. “Vestibular disease” - she started peeing outside the litter box Monday before last, mostly on throw rugs near the dryer and the front door. Stopped eating over the weekend. She’s had two trips to the vet, including the early six hours at ER last night.

in this picture, we see a black cat sitting on top of a low litter tray just passed a powder blue toilet. Just before the toilet, no lower left corner of the picture is a textile fabric cube bed that is lavender. On the floor there’s a light blue throw rug. The cat is looking toward the photographer.

Tony actually uses the boxes in the base of the cat condo, but he’s young.

did a little #baking this evening, but that pizza is taking a long time to brown on the bottom #sourdough

A beautiful crusty round loaf of sourdough bread

A half sheet of pizza on parchment lined aluminum tray inside the oven. Hard to tell what ingredients are on it in this photo because the oven light is dim, but it will be delicious.

You know what? If someone has $1 billion in assets subject to California's Prop 40 tax of 5%, at the end of the day, they'll still have $950 million. Tax the (really) rich.

Ah - Nextdoor - where a man who is almost 25 years senior to me considers us “the same age“ and in a women’s conversation about where to hand off menstrual supplies, comments, that “doctors hand out hysterectomies like candy“ and we should keep our ovaries if we want to keep using our own hormones.😳

my iPhone showed me this as the featured photo of the day. My mom’s kitty Paddy when he was just a bebby #tuxedocat #kitten

A very cute gray and white tuxedo cat with a very pink nose is casually sitting next to a window with his front paws up on the windowsill. The right paw crossed over the left paw. He is gazing toward the photographer and through the window we see it is a sunny day with a blue sky with streaky white clouds. There is a bush close to the window window and in the distance, we see a couple of trees and the top of another house. The room has white painted walls and mini blinds.
