This is Calypso. Our neighbor’s outdoor cat (now our garage cat) brought her to us in the dead of 100 degree summer. We brought her in and she has never tried to even go to the garage, much less outside. She’s like nope, 6 weeks of that garbage was enough thx.

WATERLAND by Graham Swift. I had to read it in 20th century British and Irish novels class and every single person in it is loathsome. And there is a whole chapter on EELS as a metaphor and I hated it.

You should go buy this because it’s excellent. I also just finished FAMILY PLOT and omg, @cheriepriest.com, it creeped me out so much I couldn’t put it down and then I had to read a chapter of another book to be able to sleep. And that ending? Ahh! Buy her books.

Y’all. I have contracted the flu from goodness knows where. Do not get the flu. Breathing feels like inhaling fire and swallowing feels like hot 60 grit sandpaper is rasping the inside of my throat. Coughing makes me cry.

I have the occasion to be sitting in an orthopedic surgery center waiting room this morning. Never let anyone say that men don’t gossip. It has been one story after another all hour and the respective wives involved have said nothing but an occasional name when someone forgets.

Dutifully called my terrible MS senators this morning knowing full well it will be like talking to a wall. I hate calling and I hate voicemail. But I hate this bill a lot more.
I’m calling to urge senator hyde smith to vote against HR 1, the terribly named big beautiful bill. 

The Medicaid cuts will further degrade our already atrocious rural hospital situation. I do not understand why an elected official from Mississippi wouldn’t fight to help his constituents knowing our already perilous situation. 

The funding for ICE is absolutely obscene, and taking money from Medicaid patients, snap benefits, our already poor schools, and the consumer financial protection bureau to fund concentration camps run by unidentifiable masked men in the United States of America is sick and terrifying. I understand there is no chance I will dissuade my representative in congress but I cannot be silent. Please do right by the people you represent and have the
courage to vote against this.

Read this early today and could not agree more. This afternoon a big squall line with 80mph winds came screaming through and had to come back to it. This area just cannot lose the NWS. Watch out, Bree, storm’s coming your way since it just got past me!

as someone who lives in one of Alabama's most tornado prone stretches, every article like this terrifies me. if you do not live in a place where surprise death funnels drop not irregularly from the sky, it's hard to explain the weird bond you develop with the person who warns you about them!

I am forever intrigued by these posts, but I realized recently that my early career steel mill training runs DEEP in my bones. Apparently I went to too many weekly meetings before my brain finished forming that I am still terrified of certain things to this day.

IT IS ME, LEAP!!! I interrupt my Iditarod training to bring you VERY IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
Two sled dogs stand in harness on a snow trail, although "stand" isn't exactly the right word. The dog on the left, Leap, is smaller and blackish with a whitish snout and chest. She holds a rope in her teeth and pulls backward hard. The dog on the right, Colbert, is black and white and lunges upward with a look of wild enthusiasm on his face. He kind of looks like a bear, but hungrier.

People make parody videos all the time about how our local weather man knows every single road, gas station, and intersection in Alabama and it's NOT EVEN REALLY A JOKE. He knows the geography of every part of his area extremely well. Which matters when tornados are dropping from the sky!

Can we all agree that this is the weirdest Christmas mascot ever?
A wooden cut out of a character called Mr. Bingle hanging from a mantle. He’s a muscular snowman for some reason wearing an ice cream cone on his head, red and white striped oven mitts, with a jaunty red bow tied around his neck. There are holly leaves sprouting from his back for some reason sandwiched between his head and his muscular legs and butt.

People are missing out, they’re wonderful. If we can’t find them a home soon, we’ll need to transfer them to a bigger rescue w/more reach. 😭
