Burned out educator, beleaguered stepdaughter, hater of all things AI. Waiting for the day I can open up that bottle of Fascist Tears vodka and drink on that glorious day.

Other than that, I'm sure you can find someone local who loves doing that stuff.

I don't know about you, but... What I need is a body double* who is not in my family, so as to avoid that kind of energy when deciding on what to get rid of. And the need to understand neurodivergent associations of things with memory. My things are meaningful because of what they hold for me.

Surprisingly, no dental problems. She ate exclusively dry food for something like 10 years because I heard that it helped with dental problems. She now eats exclusively wet food because she tolerates it a lot better.

They have a fountain they both drink from and I water down her food as well. Thanks for the confirmation. She hates ANY kind of unasked-for contact. Just getting her to the vet really pissed her off. I'm not going to put her on an inhaler!

Yeah, she's borderline on the kidney disease, and the food she eats is hypoallergenic, so it would be between kidney disease and her having asthma attacks and barfing constantly, so no on the kidney food. She's also very underweight.

Ah. I pull my lower lid down, which is how I get drops in. But my niece called that a superpower. So I'm guessing that's also not an option for you. For me, practice helped, but there is a lot we can't control.

I put all the hit pieces in the trash, and all the flyers from orgs I know and support, along with our ballots and official voter guide in a pile. I also text myself any info from reliable sources. Then we sit down and fill out our ballots together and bring them to the closest collection site.

October is "gather your sources" month for Californians. We often have many propositions on the ballot that are actually not what they say they are. They are worded so that a specific org is either rewarded or punished.

Right? I thought about it because I have one really smart cat. But she would just tell me she's bored and hungry all the time.

We're not sure. About 15. so that's part of the convo I need to have. Is this something that will possibly extend the healthy part of her life, or is this the beginning of the end? Open to thoughts on this.

Results are in. Possible early stage of kidney disease. Everything else looks great--except her heart. So, I can to take her to a cat cardiologist and pay a lot of money. I likely will. But I want to have a conversation about the possible outcomes first.

She is home--the tests won't come back for a week or so. Meanwhile, her teeth are fine, oddly enough. New problem: Other Cat doesn't like how she smells and thinks she is an invader cat, all other evidence to the contrary. Still hissing at her after two days home.

I came here to say that my cat is at the vet and I am a complete mess. We are finding out why she is losing weight. She's old, and probably has kidney disease and bad teeth. But IDK. She's been there 2.5 hours and no phone call yet. I should have asked how long it would be. Also, fuck AI.

Damn, this has come full circle. One of the original anti-vax arguments was that the Amish don't get autism. (They do, of course, they just don't get dxed.)

You will save yourself time and regrets about your life decisions if you skip the new Ted Lasso season entirely. Misogynist, Harry Potter references, and the worst writing you have ever witnessed in your life. Don't do it. 0/10.

We had a solar eclipse in 2015? 16? I was working at the time. The whole campus came outside and looked through various contraptions. It was really fun. And spooky! We haven't had a good solar eclipse in Ca in a long time.
