I was making a snarky comment about our congressman believing absolutely nothing other than what would get him through the next election when I remembered I've heard him say "I believe in God the father"etc from a couple pews away on Sunday mornings and shut up.

I should not need to know this much about how kentucky fills a vacant us senate seat, nor all the controversy about the process.

Had an unusual experience at the gym this morning-- both the people in the women's locker room when I arrived were more masc presenting than me. That's a first! But I expect some bigots would be wanting all 3 of us to prove we were in the right locker room none the less.

Listening to SkyNews whilst getting ready for work (at 2:30am there aren't a lot of news options) and they tease news out of the US, a prominent republican senator has died. Of course I assumed it was Mitch! But no.

So if a senator from KY is too incapacitated to write and sign a resignation letter (and highly unlikely to ever be able to return to work), is there any mechanism to remove him without his consent? If someone, his wife perhaps, has power of attorney for him, could she do it on his behalf?

Got even less sleep last night than the night before, due to all the damm fireworks. It was so bad that my cat who is usually pretty chill about such things was freaked out.

A brilliant lefty church move would be to collect a fund that would pay PTO for those in a congregation who don’t have it so they can observe the Triduum

I had been a regular at the gym until covid closed it, and hadn't picked up the habit again. But this last Wed, I decided it was time and went back. It's good, very good.

If we had local elections in February, I gotta believe my city would handle clearing snow and ice from the streets a bit better. The mismanagement is stunning and our mayor is the most hated person in town.

Seriously, what's so dangerous in walking a mile in 4" fresh snow at 15F? Way safer than driving, given the state of the roads. And I definitely dressed too warm for the conditions.

For the 2nd time in my years working in grocery, we've broken our logistics/supply chain. The 1st time was in late March 2020, when our warehouses had to stop outgoing shipments to unload all their incoming trucks.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social not requiring all employers to provide paid sick time is outrageous!! I work with someone who was diagnosed with flu yesterday and told to stay home for 3 days but she's working today, because she doesn't want to be homeless. How many people will she infect?

If the penalty for goodness is death, well, as the Bishop of New Hampshire is fond of saying, you can't scare people who are baptized and thus have already died.

Further developments: King Herod has announced his intention to eliminate all male children under the age of two from the area. "You can't be too careful with these undesirable elements," a spokesperson said. Local mother Rachel, when reached for comment, was crying too hard to speak.

All day at work I was looking forward to getting off so I could continue reading my current book. Top of my list to bargain for in our next union contract is paid sick time (of course) but I think we should also try for a reading day, for when you don't want to put down a book and go to work.

Had the most extraordinary dream last night. Sweet Maggie here was an astronaut, in a blue NASA jumpsuit circa 1986, throwing a hissy fit up on the ISS because there are no laps to sit on in microgravity.
Maggie the cat, definitely not an astronaut, curled up comfy cozy under a gray blanket

I assign tasks to the cats when I leave for work: Mac gets mouse patrol and keeping an eye on the backyard squirrels, Maggie gets keeping my pillow warm. They both did their chores well today. Mac greeted me with a dead mouse when I got home, and Maggie was napping on my pillow.

Expecting a weird day working in the supermarket. We're a high SNAP usage store; yesterday was crazy busy, with customers concerned that there was a chance existing balances would be frozen (they're not supposed to be, but I totally respect the instinct to stock up on nonperishables just in case).

Sharon @shkhill71.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
So the first topic in today's meeting at work was setting up some free food in the breakroom if/when SNAP ends. We have a lot of workers who rely on it.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.
--
Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.
