The best part of my “I don’t get into arguments and have a relationship with my block button approach?” Smiting people is an excellent stress management tool ;)
To GO, AD, SE,EW,MP, M, MMcR, TS, SMcG, thank you for helping keep the kitten pantry stocked. We can’t do this without you.
They’re skinny right now but holding and slowly gaining weight. Your help will keep them fed until they’re ready to go home!

Good news! The Potats are starting to gain and hold weight!
Due to the kitten tummy issues, we need to add a higher calorie kitten food for a few weeks to help get their weights on track.
If you’re able to help, we’ve got RC babycat food on the list, or you can contribute to the gift card. 1/

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Retracting my previous WTF post. Thread re the hemp ban in the sedate bill.
This is deeply misleading. The agricultural section of the bill does NOT ban hemp-derived cannabinoid products that contain less than .3% THC total. www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/hemp/news/15...

Eggnog, stop biting your sisters’s tail, she’s trying to eat.
Cranberry, don’t growl while you’re eating, it’s rude.
Spicy, that’s my head, not a trampoline.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Happy birthday to Hugh, Haseeb, and all the terps and techs who served with them. To Marines on bsky, and all over the world. Young, old, alive, passed on, grunts and pogs, ground and wing. I love you all dearly, you are my family. Slice some cake with a sword, and pour one out for Chesty tonight.

And the big relief of the day- we kept down AM meds and did not gag or vomit them back up. This has been the problem slowing down their recovery.

Weaning week is my least favorite.
Weaning week while navigating sick Potats is the WORST
They are improving. Full stop. But trying to keep an eye on what’s causing the issue, while reducing secondary weight loss in this situation blows. 1/

(Mischievously considers suggesting an alternate name for Eggnog - there is a kind of Dutch "drink", essentially very thickened egg yolks, with sugar and a lot of brandy. Called "advocaat", which is also the word for "lawyer" or "solicitor".)
