Divest from Harry Potter and JKR, y'all. It's okay to feel sad about no longer engaging with something that meant a lot to you, but a fictional world that funds a very real assault on trans rights will never be more meaningful than caring about the safety of trans folks.

after so many years of Civility™️ and Reaching Across the Aisle™️ and Bipartisanship™️, we are so hungry for anyone to just flat-out say “are you a whole-ass criminal y/n, trick question it’s yes and we have proof” right to their faces it hits like ice-cold peppermint schnapps

Had a crown done today for the root canal I had 3 or 4 weeks ago. Fingers crossed this is the last dental procedure I need until January when I have the bridge put in on the other side.

Does anyone know of a decibel meter phone app that lets you set a timer? I need something that will measure while I am actually sleeping and exclude the” lying in bed for 25 minutes trying to fall asleep while a cat makes biscuits on my neck” portion of bedtime.

Suitcase would have torn my Harpo mat to bits if I hadn't sewed up that little rip! Getting a fun Harpo bath mat (or anything else) from my Threadless shop would help me pay off these massive human and feline medical bills! #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday linktr.ee/RainSurname

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Someone should really, really adopt Cid. This cat is the kind of cat who will take your love and return it tenfold. I don’t have enough words for him— kind, curious, charming, full of personality & presence. This is the kind of cat who will be someone’s soul cat. Elkton, MD. Apply: bit.ly/4cOmi21
Cid, an extremely handsome marmalade-colored orange tabby cat with pretty stripes and tall ears, one of them clipped as a former TNR cat.

It’s 79 degrees here at 10:30pm, outside UGH. I think the cats and I are going to melt. I am supposed to work remotely tomorrow but not sure I can even concentrate in the over-80 heat so I may have to go to the office. It will be 92 there BUT the office has AIR CONDITIONING.

Labor Day pancake brunch with Jammies.
Large long-haired tuxedo cat crouched low looking at a window. Only her black floof is visible. She is on a brown dinette table. Cars are visible out the window. The blinds are about 8 inches open, the rest are tilted open. A white metal cabine is in the background.

Just finished with a root canal. It’s not fun but I had a great endodontist who was very patient and kind. The worst part was having to pee halfway through and not being able to go until almost the end.

Groucho has some feelings about Mondays 😅
A smol black and white tuxedo kitten sits sleepily on a cardboard couch with disheveled floof, half-closed blue eyes, and a look of exasperated distain… accentuated by a magnificent mustache. If he wasn’t underage, I’d suspect a hangover! Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org

Jennifer is taking care of a lot of extra mouths suddenly—several momma cats and 15 (? I have lost track) kittens have shown up in her yard. She is feeding them, getting them fixed, socializing them as allowed, and finding them homes. They are hungry!

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.

If you’re in the Bag Area, the Prisoners Lit Project is a great org. Pegasus, Green Apple, and several other local stores have their wishlist—you can walk into the store, buy a book, and they’ll set it aside to be sent. They also have an online wishlist you can buy from. www.prisonlit.org

I’ve been in Seattle and Jimothy the raccoon is a local icon. During the same week, I visited a museum with an Egyptian exhibit and spotted this guy on the wall. Pretty sure it’s the ancient Egypt forebearer of modern day Jimothy. #connectthedots #jimothy #egpyt #mssmart

A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.

I must retract this bit of mis-information: this is not a parish boundary-marker for St. Martin’s. @dankaszeta.bsky.social pointed out the actual boundaries of the parish. In a later reply he mentioned that they city of Westminster erected this w/o ref to actual boundaries.

There are no gluten-free snacks on this flight. WTF?!?! How hard is it to have a cookie or a biscuit or some chips available? And I can’t eat the peanut bar I got because someone on this plane is allergic to peanuts. UGH!!!!!

Why are gluten-free airplane meals so bad? How hard would it be to find a pre-packaged gluten-free roll and a cookie to go with the main dish? Instead I had raw carrots, raw peppers with hummus, and some orange slices. I just don’t get it.
