Heading off this morning on a new adventure… not a Laid Back Camp, but should be a laid back trip… to Japan… again! Just got to get through the 14 hour long flight to get there. ;-)

Matilda went to the VET yesterday for a checkup and a re-check of her eyes (she’s doing much better but still needs the drops for a bit longer) and if you want to know just how angry she is at me for daring to take care of her and keep her alive, these 3 […] [Original post on social.starkeith.net]

Matilda logic: * 3 different oral rinses she has to have every day for the rest of her life: love it, basically a treat * Eye drops 3x a day for a week: violates Geneva convention; basically waterboarding torture #Bunny #HouseRabbit #BunniesOfMastodon

We are so, so very fortunate to have such a good rabbit-savvy vet (technically, 3 of them at the one office) so close by (just 15 mins away by car) who can squeeze in appointments at short notice for us. Matilda is fine; she just had a bit of skin irritation around her eye - she gets slightly […]

How it started vs how it's going.

2 frame comic. the first frame, titled in the corner ''how it started, shows a news anchor looking tired, saying : after betraying
every trade agreements with
canada by imposing illegal
tariffs, the u.s. president is
now threatening, yet again,
to make canada the united
states' 51st state.''
in the second frame, titled How it's going..., the same news anchor, looking less tired, says : following canadian p.m. mark
carney's comments about seeking
a ''unique alliance'', the president
of the european commission said
that they were open to create a
new class of e.u. membership to
allow canada to become its
28th member state.

TAKE YOUR BALLOTS TO A DROP BOX THIS NOVEMBER. Don't use a mailbox. Use a ballot drop box, because the US postal service is _already_ fucking with ballots. This is not a guess, theory, or extrapolation, this is an _observed fact_. Here's the Thurston […] [Original post on mastodon.murkworks.net]

The Problem with Mail Delivery

By law, we must certify the election by a specific deadline. For the primary, that date was August 18, 2026, two weeks after Election Day. Any ballot that arrives after this date cannot be counted, even if it was mailed on time.

We are seeing two main problems with the post office:

* Slow Mail: Many people mailed their ballots well before Election Day, but the ballots sat in post office sorting centers for weeks. In one case, a ballot was mailed in late July but didn't reach our office until after the August 18 deadline. It took 19 days to arrive, so it could not be counted.

* Ballots sent Between Counties: In Washington State, you can drop your ballot into any official drop box in the state. Other counties collect those ballots and mail them back to us using USPS Priority Mail. In the past, this worked well. But this year, mail sent on August 5 didn't reach us until August 24, six days after the deadline.

So far, our office has received 70 valid ballots that arrived after the certification deadline. This has never happened before, and it means those votes could not be counted. One ballot took 19 days to reach us.

What We Are Doing for November

No voter should lose their vote when they’ve followed every rule.

To fix this for the November election, we will no longer rely on the post office to send ballots between counties. Instead, our team will personally drive to neighboring counties to pick up and hand-deliver these ballots ourselves. Even though this costs extra money and time, it is necessary to make sure every vote counts.

Hurricane Dolly now has a high chance of forming in the Tropical Atlantic.

In an unbelievable coincidence, Dolly is the next name on the Atlantic hurricane list, and country music legend Dolly Parton passed away today at age 80 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Invest 96L currently has a 70% chance of development as it moves across the Tropical Atlantic.

If this system becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Dolly.
