I'm writing a story without planning for the first time in years and the answers to what it's about are t coming easy. What I am NOT doing is consulting AI in any way.

Travel day. No sleep. It's 70F where I am and 10F at home. And I didn't bring any proper warm clothes because the winter has been so mild. Ugh.

Ok wow
Cows itch, just like us. But Veronika the cow takes things into her own hands. Or rather: into her mouth.

Scientists say it’s the first experimentally verified instance of cattle using a tool. https://wapo.st/3NzJ84A

Just talked to my cousin in MN. "Whatever you think you know, it's much, much worse."

High winds again today in Colorado with extra special super rare fire warnings.

My soul is weary from this week.

I checked the go bag before bed. Kennel is by the car. Will stack clothes on my dresser and get my bathroom bag out. Weird preparing, but I know it will take my tension level down.

We are supposed to not have power cut but I'm going to do my important electrical things early just in case (dry my hair and bake the last batch of cookies).

Seeing this floating around, and want to say this directly:

Tomorrow's fire conditions are NOT comparable with Marshall Fire (12/30/21). Wind speeds, longevity, soil moisture, RH: not the same.

We should be vigilant tomorrow. But stop with the Marshall Fire comparisons.

I have a knight (and we believe his father before him a baron) in my genealogy and now I might have to put him in a story. Sir John Taylor of Shadoxhurst.

The US will be at war next week purely as a distraction #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
A quarter of the entire deployed US Navy is now stationed in the Caribbean.

That goes way beyond frighteners.

CC needs a home! 🐈
Today's furcast pet is 1.5 year old domestic shorthair cat Candy Corn, who says tomorrow'll be warm again!

Candy Corn’s a real beauty. Huge eyes and a very expressive face. CC is social and friendly, but she needs time to relax before she opens up.

Her adoption info below from Humane Colorado!

Anyway it's a new month and I'm going to donate more money to my local food bank.

If I've learned one thing recently it's to never listen to indie writers tell you what traditional publishing is and never listen to traditional writers tell you what indie publishing is.

I know a lot of people are already spreading this info, but hoping to spread it a little further: donating to a food bank, food pantry, or food distribution mutual aid group is really important right now, as TFG and the fucking GOP are shutting down snap benefits on November 1. I'll link to a few
