At peace, if still slightly annoyed. Seattle writer/editor, fueled primarily by coffee, lip balm, and ice cream. She/her. I’m mostly here for the cats. And the books. And the feminism. And the X-Files. Bigots can go pound sand.

Don’t forget Eric, standing around all “And Peggy!” in the background. Actually, no worries if you do forget him…daddy surely has.

Immigrant New Yorkers belong here. ICE does not. If you need help, call our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365 or dial 311 and say “Immigration Legal.” Help is here in your native language, no matter your immigration status. More info: nyc.gov/knowyourrights

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Nothing but respect for MY Digger
The intro page from the children’s book “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. The illustration shows Mike and a lightly anthropomorphized steam shovel kind of beaming fondly at each other in a sunny field. The text reads: “Mike Mulligan had a steam shovel, a beautiful red steam shovel. Her name was Mary Anne.”

I can’t believe a Sid and Marty Krofft joint gave me nightmares (OR that someone lovingly put this dreck on Blu-ray?!). But there was an episode with a volcano and pools of lava and I was petrified for many months, circa kindergarten. The theme song said it: he’s a madman with an evil mind!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

This cake has triumphed over pie in my family Thanksgiving for decades!
Screen 1, ingredients for pumpkin chocolate chip cake with orange icing

Cake:
1 tablespoon melted butter 
2 cups all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1  1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 teaspoon allspice 
1/4 teaspoon cloves 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 
2 large eggs 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1 cup pumpkin purée 
3/4 cup milk 
3/4 cup chocolate chips 

Icing:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon grated orange peel 
2 cups sifted powdered sugar 
2-3 tablespoons orange juice 
Pumpkin chocolate chip cake instructions 

1. Brush melted butter over inside of a 9x13” pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift together dry ingredients (flour through nutmeg). Beat softened butter with granulated sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, and vanilla.
3. In separate bowl, combine pumpkin and milk. Add flour mixture and pumpkin mixture alternately to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients and mixing just to blend. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake in the prepared pan 30-40 minutes and cool on a rack.
4. For icing: combine butter, orange peel and powdered sugar. Add enough orange juice to make a spreadable consistency, beating with a wooden spoon until smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled cake.

A forever favorite. Two associations I’ve had for years: one, hearing an enraged, devastated guy call up a local radio station and request this, the night the LAPD cops who viciously beat Rodney King were acquitted. I was in NY, didn’t know yet that LA was imploding.

My mom used to send me care packages, but as she was never a cooking/baking kind of mom, they’d be things like bars of soap or a couple packets of instant oatmeal. I was 30 minutes outside New York City. “They have stores, here,” I told her more than once.

These folks pick and choose when objects have agency. Their toys might be taken? “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Their toys may not make back their investment and they need a bailout, “AI will kill us”. It’s so weird how the choice of agency always shields them from responsibility.

I love Hopper (well, his art—he was reputed to be an a-hole), and this is one of my favorites. 💚 Here’s another. That morning light!
Edward Hopper’s painting “Early Sunday Morning.” A long two-story red brick building is shown from the street, in warm sunlight. The upper story shows multiple windows, apparently to apartments, with various curtains and shades at all different heights. The ground floor shows three storefronts, including one with a striped barbershop pole outside. It looks very quiet; no people are visible.

I’m 56, and finally got PT for my own Knee Thing this year, after it waxed and waned for a decade. Get whatever care you can now! (Also, blaming perimenopause at this stage is incredibly handy, because a thousand things can go cattywampus in the ol’ bod after 40, and no one has a damn clue why.)

They’re family, and being unable to talk to them in these circumstances is a terrible feeling. It’s the worst part; the only comfort is that all the previous joy and love we get from and give them outweighs the acute stress and grief. Holding you and your cat in my heart.
