"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

My biggest mistake today was failing to grab my writing notebook off the shelf before I sat down. Because I now have a cat asleep on my legs.
Per the cat-owner covenant forged when we adopted Verity, I am not allowed to move her until she wakes up. These are the rules. Work be damned.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

The verdict is in!
Harley is just chonky.
What's more, she had already been spayed. No scar when they shaved her bellah, so they had to open her up.
So we definitely know that not only are there no buns in her oven, but the bakery done closed up shop.

Harley is at the vet today, where they will shave her bellah and check for a spay scar. If they don't find one, it's spay day.
So I'm sitting here, waiting to hear what's up.
For now, enjoy this adorable video of Harley cuddling her sleep mat last night.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

A "modest margin" when Mamdani beat his next closest challenger by 8 points in a three-person race. Trump won by just 1.5% and it was played off as a seismic realignment of American politics and culture.

Our rescue (arfpnc.com) helps a lot of folks with free food for their pets. So I can confirm that donating food to rescues can really help.
And if you find yourself needing food for your pets? Reach out to a local rescue. If they can help, they will.
