I am damned near to old as dirt, I can't handle loud music in my pickup while I'm driving. If I'm looking for an address I have to turn ot off. There are still a few songs, though, that make me crank it. "Free Bird," "Closer," "Jack the Ripper," et cetera. I just caught "Dragula" on the radio.

I knew the story of Kitty Genovese thanks to Harlan Ellison. I knew that evil triumphs when men do nothing before that. I have no difficulty in believing that 50+ jagoffs did NOTHING while someone was being victimized, though. People have been sh!tbirds since forever. That is why it is up to US.

"Not all men?" That's very close to BULLSH!T given how many men were involved in the rape, how many men were involved in merely slapping those rapists on their wrists, and how many more men knew and said nothing. 🤬 If YOU don't speak up, YOU are also the problem. Actions speak louder than words.

How did we let THIS history repeat itself? 🤬 😥 I grew up in a neighborhood full of the original antifa, the ones who won WWII to restore peace and safety to the world. They would be enraged and appalled that fascism has been allowed to take root in the US.

This opossum is getting bolder. From dining next to our cats to almost snoozing with them. And the cats? They don't object, they are happy to share their food and water, I wouldn't be surprised if sharing their napping couch was any different. His slightly-younger sibling is a bit more skittish.

This is Eros, one-half of our oldest pair, age nine. Here he is enjoying today's last gasp of summer. Last night we had two small opossums out in the studio raiding the cat food. Eros calmly walked over and dined right next to one of them, sending a clear signal as an elder to the other cats in

We had a visitor out in the studio last night. All three cats I had with me noticed, but none bestirred themselves to bother a hungry little opossum. He noticed us, decided that it was worth it, and ate his fill, sniffed out the water, and drank.

This is Eros, my first TNR fail. My neighbor's daughter found him as a wild kitten, earned his trust, and took him in. She brought him over to show him off and to borrow a bit of kitten & cat food. Her mother was fine with a kitten in theory, but freaked out at the reality of him being black.

Opossum update: We have at least three, perhaps four, living under our front porch. I've put out an extra water dish and a plate of apple bits for them. Clark, one of our older cats, has taken to lounging on the step to keep them safe. He won't even let me approach, I have to detour around so

Okay, #caturday, here's our Tiger Lily. A little feral found by a rescuer who couldn't keep her or her littermates who were sheltering in his parked boat. One went to one family, two to another, and Tiger Lily and Marco Polo came to us. She's been living the good life since then.

#caturday switchup! Y'all get to see our cats at least once a week, so I'm going to give a shout-out to Penny, their faithful friend and protector. She's our family dog, living where she is most comfortable since my BIL got her as an adolescent from a shelter almost 12 years ago. She's a gem.
