Remodeling Cat Lady for Democracy

Not a leader but a VERY active participant/supporter of Democracy

#Atheist in my late 50's w/3 feline family members

Cat sanctuary where I volunteer Furball Farm
My rower broke & I was trying to fix it so didn’t hear the horns. As soon as I realized I ran out to record but was too late & it was just our police letting ICE use their bathrooms. So yeah, they’re here & apparently our city govt thinks ICE is just fine

Everybody’s sleepy at Furball tonight

Think I'm going to celebrate figuring out the roof situation by buying 10 Churus at Furball to give to some kitties (they sell them to visitors, so I like to buy 1 or 2 every Friday. Mainly for my little man, Stewie)

Gotta get over to Furball but wanted to let you guys know that likely I'm going to get the roof redone. Retirement account is very, very sad 😆 Relieved that if I have to sell, I can (insurers refusing to write the house due to the roof age-last done in 2004 but not leaking + house was built in 1890)

Walked to the gas station at lunch for the usual lottery ticket & saw lots of out of state vehicles w/tinted windows, sitting w/engines running. Can't see the drivers to see if they're in their ICE costume w/mask, though. If they're ICE businesses should refuse service, but no ICE out signs here🤬

Had marshal training & get to try it out at the next big protest in March. Nice to have a bit of a break. Even though the seige in our small towns is minimal, the hate it incites still has a significant (emotional & psychological) impact on us.

Such a relief to have the deep polar vortex we've been subjected to for weeks now finally lifting. Maybe even be headed to some above normal temps, but don't quote me on that as I didn't look up averages. Honestly, a massive relief. Double digit below zeros are so hard, no matter where you live

I swear, every time I hear James Spader I think it’s John Lithgow (Blacklist preview popped up on Netflix)

Marshal training is tomorrow! Even if we turn the govt Blue in November, I'm guessing protests will continue for a long time as we work to cleanse the govt of the festering filth it's become. I figure marshaling is a good skill to have

I'm not on any Meta platform, but if you are-this is perfect. The Loppet Luminary was my absolute favorite event in MN for many years (during the colder years where the ice was thick enough). Really nice, creative use of luminaries from folks who know how to do it

Reminder that Minnesota is still an occupied state, still under siege by the US govt. ICE is still here and ICE is worse than border patrol, based upon the interview with Don Lemon

My life is so dramatic. For example; I had a call at lunch so missed trying to get a little workout in. Plan was to work out after work, instead.

However, 35 pounds of cat has landed & it ain't budging. So dramatic

One day Lynne read a post on BS. She knew the poster speaks English, and yet...

Yes, this was the day her "I'm so old" status was sealed.

You know how all the streaming services have kid profiles? I think they should also have pet profiles. My guys just LOVE the wildlife stuff. They get jaded super fast (probably because they can't get to them in the TV), but at the moment they're enamored of the deer stuff I stumbled on.

Hmmm, ICE seems to be less active over the past hour. They must be on seat-filler duty for the Melania movie.

When, when, when are local organizations and especially those fighting the regime going to get off of Facebook? It's so hard to find info because they make excuses as to why they can't find another platform or way to share info. They're impacting our ability to fight fascism

America, where poor white people vote for a govt that takes away their health care, safe/abundant/affordable food, etc-because they'd rather see those with less than they have stripped of even the most basic rights & comforts.

Got quite the workout snowblowing & shoveling-more snow that I thought! My very kind neighbor had already cleared the front walk 1X (I've had so few people do nice things like that in my life-I'm sure he doesn't realize how much it means to me). Zippy's all uncovered & tucked into her shed, too

Four ICE sightings so far today in my town of about 25K. They're going through town and taking video, mostly.

Newton makes me laugh every single day. I try to hold the blanket edge up when he sticks his nose under to tuck away in a blanket for the day, but he won’t go in if he can’t nudge his nose under all by himself. Weirdo

At the point in life (5 yrs or so from what was previously reasonable retirement age) where I'm so worried about how much electricity I'm using & how much it'll cost. Doing dishes, laundry, distilling water for humidifier, running the humidifier, charging snowblower battery, eegads!
