Listening to the audiobook of “God’s Junk Drawer.” I got to chapter 9, and a thing I wanted from chapter 1 happened. Fuck yeah.

Thunderstorm here in the desert. My poor cat is freaking out. This is maybe the third time in her entire life that the sky has made noise.

When you hit a certain age you understand that Tom Petty's line "I love you more than the sins of my youth" is possibly the single most romantic lyric ever written.

HEY YOU ON THE BIKE Feel bad that this slipped past me, but I Am Elemental is doing their annual toy drive for kids with cancer. You get a cool action figure, a kid going through treatment gets one. Or there's an option to donate both figures. If you can spare the cash, it's $30 for a good cause.

Normally I hate political fund-raising texts or emails, but @chriswarcraft.bsky.social's team manages them well. I am not *directly* impacted by his race, but I am throwing a little into the campaign because change has to start somewhere. I am glad he's braver than me.

Finally saw “The Ministry or Ungentlemanly Warfare” tonight. It is an excellent “mad men doing wildly dangerous things in war time” movie and is far better than I had possibly imagined.

Living in the desert is hard on personal hygiene. I took a shower not 30 minutes ago, and I haven’t yet let my air-conditioned house, but I’m already feeling dried sweat. Thanks, I hate it.

Dolly Parton was one of the most powerful forces for goodness and kindness in my lifetime. She did many things to help many people and she did them because she saw they needed doing and she could do them. She didn’t need or want acclaim, she just had a genuine desire to help people.

ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Like my friend here, I too grew up dirt poor. Hell, sometimes dirt pitied us for our poverty. Like, one box of malt-o-meal to feed a family of 4 for 7 days poor. School food programs in OK, AR, and CA made sure I got to eat at least once daily, usually with a some vegetables. Feed ALL kids.
