I listen to a bunch of paranormal podcasts, bc I like ghost stories. There appears to be a template: two women, talking about spooky stories; one is kinda skeptical, and the other is FULLY READY TO BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING. It’s adorable.

AUGH I just remembered a band existed but I can’t remember their name or any of their songs, just that it was a super cute lady singing and her partner playing music, and it started with a P.

I put a cat door into the bathroom/laundry room. When I am in there and do not let her accompany me, Hestia looks through the cat door at me with longing and despair.

In “Straight Man,” the MC finds out a colleague has written a novel and hasn’t published it or pressed it on anyone else. He admires someone who can keep their novel to themselves. (We should all be forgiven our first novel.)

I imagine he got the nomination because the GOP knows it doesn’t have any chance of putting a Republican into the Colorado governor seat. They’re not going to waste a real candidate on that campaign.

“This might be my favorite @tkingfisher.com book” is what I say every time I finish one, and this was no different. But it really might be.

I just finished “Snake Eater” by T Kingfisher. Can confirm that if you move to a tiny town in the sticks, the (mostly senior) people will be VERY interested in you, and if you are polite and volunteer to help them, you get to hear some weird shit. It’s pretty great.

The US decided not to be fascist. Universal healthcare. I have added to my collection of obsolete skills. I built a bunny barn. I have made weird art. I have loved and lost and found I cannot help but love again, even knowing that loss is the price of love. And it’s good. It’s hard but it’s good.

But there is a middle-aged Pyrenees mix who has joined the crew, and a young black dog of indeterminate origin who landed here and was granted sanctuary on the condition of good behavior. There are several Angora rabbits, and many have won ribbons at fancy rabbit shows. There are chickens.

My daughter Ash lives about an hour away, and she’s happy. SHE’S HAPPY, at last. Most of my current pets have passed. Sylveon, Mew, Todd, Jolene, and Artemis are gone. Hestia is 14 and I know her time is coming soon. Banner (horse) is an astounding 33 years old, still alive. I visit him when I can.

I might actually get to retire someday. I’ve published more books. My son Cameron is living in Boulder with his wife (who he hasn’t met yet in 2026) and his babies, who have not been born yet. Those beloved grandkids spend a lot of time up here w their mountain hag of a grandmother.

I’m going to turn this into a spell. It’s 2039. I’m 60 years old. I’ve lived in my tiny mountain town, in a literal cabin in the woods, for 15 years now. The pain is still there, but it hasn’t gotten worse. There are a couple of platonic life roommates, and an enormous garden.

I got my e-spinner working! It’s one of the first Electric Eel models. Started spinning some of Todd’s fiber. (Satin Angora rabbit.) 🐰 He and Hestia are very fond of each other.

“Evil can’t be dumb” is a wild place to start from, and I STILL cannot fathom how he got from there “anything smart people do must be good”. My guy that is a springboard to crimes against humanity.

I’m not a historian, but I have degrees in art and religion, and I feel reasonably secure in pointing to those to say that yes, the world has always been this stupid.
