If you adopted a feral cat to the inside and he keeps meowing maybe he just really wants to smoke real cigarettes. You don’t know what he was up to before

I saw someone earlier say "I blocked today's main character instead of engaging, please clap" and I had no idea what they were talking about but NOW I KNOW (so I'm sharing because I hate being out of the loop and want to spare other people the frustration).
A skeet from Jessie Blue (@jessieblueaz.bsky.social) (in reply to someone, FYI, who talked about making lunch and said "please clap")

Guys, please stop with the “please clap” when you cook for yourself, get out of bed on time, do your laundry…

If your personal bar is that low, find some fucking hustle. I work my ass off. I’m not giving high fives for your bare minimum.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

Something that is mentioned in this article that I meant to comment on and then went to eat breakfast: Prime wants content that brings new subs. So their entire TV model is (by their reports) "if this TV show appeals heavily to our existing audience, it is worthless" Not sure that's great?!?

It still persists to this day. Watch how any time some white guy is caught doing mass murder, the media say "ah, this isn't terrorism, just some disaffected white guy." The word "terrorist" is being taken to mean "someone Muslim and brown."

part of the emotional weight of the past 10 years is anyone who can extrapolate a new fact from two existing facts has been screaming "is anyone else seeing this??? godzilla is coming!" right up until the point godzilla steps on a building and then the rest of the country goes "oh shit wtf?"

It's amazing what happens when you eliminate one major stressor in you life. Since I lost my worst stressor, my blood pressure has finally gotten into the range my Dr. wants, I sleep better, I've been more focused. Imagine what we could do as a society if we focused on lowering stress.

First time baking fully in the upstairs kitchen. Using the floating island for the first time. I'm making cheesy breadsticks today #Bread #Baking
A kitchen with an L shaped island in the middle. There is a stand mixer at the corner, some jars with various cooking utensils on the right, and some jars of ingredients on the left.

A friend of mine has lost her bird! He got out of an open door in Hopkins, MN earlier this evening. Info if you see him:
A Facebook post from Sue Gambill-Read:

Please share!
Lost white and gray Cockatiel in Hopkins, MN 8/25/26 
Responds to Hey Buddy, whistles, “come on” and “step up”. Not hand tame but likely to land on someone’s head. If that happens say Hey Buddy and try to get him inside. 
Got out our front door at Tyler and Lake in Hopkins and headed toward Oakes Park 8/25/26 8:00pm

I ended up having more extended thoughts on Dolly Parton over on Facebook and I thought I would share them here as well.
When I was much younger, I knew her mostly as a caricature and the object of jokes, because young men are kind of stupid that way and I was no exception, and because she willingly played along with the joke, in part because she knew it would happen anyway, and this way she got to shape some of how that would play out for her, and use it for her own ends. It took me a while to realize how canny that was. 

When I got older, I learned that underneath the caricature was a formidable songwriting and business mind. I had an inkling of what a rare combination that was in any person, but how even more rare it was for someone who was who she was, in the field and environment she worked in. Hidden in all those sparkles was a spine of steel. 

When I got older than that I learned that in addition to a brilliant mind was a heart of kindness, which directed so much of the good fortune she amassed to herself right back out the door through philanthropic work, helping those in her communities, state and country, and which allowed to see the worth and dignity in those whom so many others treated (and still do treat) with contempt.

She was always all the things she was. What changed was my ability to see and understand who she was. I'm glad I was eventually smart enough to see it all.

The flip side of understanding how much of one's career is luck is that it helps tamp down envy when friends catch luck. I have friends with movies and TV series! Other friends with ten times my sales! Good for them. It's nice when people you like get that break. They deserve it, as much as anyone.

Trixi asked for a walk again today, so I put her harness on and away we went. We stopped to talk to a neighbor and Trixi got to roll in her favorite little yellow flowers in neighbor's yard. I'd say that's a good walk even if we only went around the block.
