If the shoe doesn't fit, then that isn't your shoe. Stop trying to wear it and then getting mad at everyone else that you don't think the shoe fits. The more you try to wear the shoe, the more it looks like it was your shoe all along.

Ash would not use his litterbox tonight until which conditions were met? Select all that apply: A. The litterbox was fully cleaned and changed, B. I used the toilet at the same time as a Pee Buddy, C. The Western Pine Seed Bug was removed from the box, D. The faucet was running at the same time.

For those who are blessed by the gods whose cats use the wood pellet litter (no, I don't need advice on transitioning a kitty to different litter, Ash said Hell No in no uncertain terms): Do you use a sifting nested litter box? I've sat for a few kitties who have a traditional box for pellets.

Tried to get Binx in the "right light" to show her Ghost Stripes. Stop laughing! I *did* think I could get a kitten to pause in the right light. Slightly blown out, you can see some of her ghost stripes. Way blown out, dayum! There's a whole ass Tortie under there! Like white "stars"-- #cats

Most annoying effing night. I have a motion censor light in the stairwell going up to my office, which starts in the bedroom. Effing thing starts going off while Ash is in bed with me. Batteries now removed for the night. To paraphrase Master Shake, I'm 40 or 50 years old and I do not need this.

Lights off, after dark, please. Tonight is expected to be another very active night. Watch local radars after sunset, you’ll likely see the “blooming” grow as more and more birds take off under the relative safety of night.

Every. Single. Problem. In this entire story can be easily remedied by one simple solution, which is don’t fucking let your cat wander around outside completely unsupervised! You can’t be outraged and furious about what your cat gets up to when you don’t even know where it is!

Ash would like to offer the helpful advice of, perhaps, not eating the alley blackberries at this particular height.

It isn’t enough to care – eg after the devastating wildfire season in Canada, less people were willing to vote for climate-related reasons, not more. Why not? Because they were missing the hands. The bigger the disasters, the more our sense of efficacy plummets. I explain more here:

Solving the climate equation

Most people worry about climate change, but few know what to do. The right tools allow us to convert scientific urgency into effective action.

I also hated square dancing as the weird boy in school. Then of course I found out that Henry Ford was behind the whole square dancing trend, because he was convinced the Jews were corrupting pure white kids with Black jazz. So square dancing is racist and antisemitic! We can hate it forever!

I heard the term "do-si-do" and had horrific flashbacks to forced high school PE square and line dancing classes where students chose their own partners. I started ditching because 1. No one was choosing the loser girl and it was an exercise in humiliation, 2. I loathed both the moves and the music.

Hot Take for #FossilFriday - the quest to make paleontology "useful" and "relevant" and "high impact" has backfired spectacularly. A hypothetical "Big Data Approaches to Deep Time Ecosystem Services" almost always end up largely disconnected from actual fossils. (thread) <1/n>
