at least once a week my dogs catch a possum doing a nighttime visit to the squirrel feeder. tragically the possums are always dead, not faking, may as well just walk away

dreamed last night that I went to see Hadestown live and Jeremy Swift was playing Orpheus. got polled after the show about why it wasn’t landing with people and I had to lie because I like Jeremy Swift and didn’t want to hurt his feelings
