Barney! He's a very croaky boy at the moment, which does not bode well for his desexing appointment on Friday. It's all URI and if he was a toddler I'd encourage them to cough all the gunk up, but kittens are even worse at English than toddlers are.

A mostly shadowed tabby and white kitten face. You can see one eye, half of a little pink nose, and a tiny splotch of paw. It's very Phantom Of The Opera as he cuddles on my chest.

The sole, solitary, unitary reason the Bay Area became the center of the US startup world is because at the time today's current startup model formed, California was the only state that completely banned noncompete agreements in all forms of employment, period.

oh, hey, I remembered it's Wednesday in time to post a #wipwednesday photo! I was matched with this project by @looseendsproject.bsky.social and have spent about 30 hours on it so far while on Yeeterus Recovery I've never done so much confetti stitching 😅 but my technique is definitely improving

"People shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them". OK, so, even if that is true ... they do anyway. Are you going to punish the kid because of choices their parents made? Deal with the reality we have rather than your notion of what people "should" do.

I've made this point before, but it bears repeating at intervals: Yes, every kid, regardless of their parent(s)' income. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but let's go with just the top few.

This is Ernie. Ernie is not a kitten, but he is coming to stay with me for a bit to hopefully learn how to love humans and be adoptable. He was trapped by Grace of Illoura Animal Refuge back in April.

A tabby cat with giant wide green eyes, no, even wider than you're imagining. He's inside a carrier looking very scared. The door is open and you can see a bowl of food in front of him.

I am begging police departments to not let neurotypical people handle the tedious details of inventorying old evidence. I couldn't find some items from 1995. I eventually discovered someone back in 2007 shoved items V1, V2, & V3 into a new envelope and labeled it "item 001: misc" Ofc I fixed it

(The answer to grade inflation, btw, isn't "tougher" grading. It's recognizing that grading, especially letter grading--not a very old system--serves employers but not students. It incentivizes cheating & corruption. Other evaluative frameworks are possible.)

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

there's a half dozen open windows in this house, plus and entire catio, but this is the window she needs to be in right now

the double-hung window in my shower is open a few inches at the top, since it faces a busy street and I'd rather not flash people without their consent. Ginny the irrepressible cat is standing awkwardly in the open portion with her left paws down on the latch and her right paws up in the open area, because it's not wide enough for a cat to sit comfortably
