Happy Leap Day. Dracarys y’all.
@profdaf.bsky.social I hope this Leap Day is not too upsetting for you. I recall your post about how it is a scam on salaried workers. I agree. Try to think of it as one extra day of laser pointer with her furry majesty. My prayers are with you.

@profdaf.bsky.social I’m feeling much better now that I’ve caught up on your Blue Sky posts. Been super busy lately and haven’t been on here. But… where the cat pics?

She’s so beautiful. A reminder of all the good things in life worth living for.
One thing we don’t always appreciate is how tall cats are.

The leap year is nothing but a scam perpetrated on salaried employees. You would really notice if the calendar slipped by 21 days over the course of a lifetime?
There should be a leap month every 120 years instead. And it should be a house party with no rules.

I am being tortured by Christmas music being blasted from the apartment next door. I am moving to a country where this does not happen. Later y’all.

Don Draper advised, “if you don’t like what they’re saying, change the conversation.”

EVEN RUSSIA, whose dictator-for-life is behind almost all of this unrest, gets to stay a nation. Nobody says "Oh let's discuss the merits of Russia not existing anymore, over tea, on an Ivy League campus."

Yeah I don't know, I hear what everyone's saying but it's not okay to want a nation wiped out. We don't do that to anyone. North Korea gets to exist.
It is extremely weird that wanting a certain nation to stop existing is "a thing," in my opinion.

Okay everyone. What songs do you listen to when you need to pull out of sadness and fear? My go to is Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl”. Please make happy suggestions.

It’s always innocent people who pay the price.
Always.
Never diminish it.
There are no “buts” or qualifiers.
Doesn’t matter.
