I'm desperate to go to bed, but there's a convalescing kitty on my lap and I just can't

My life is objectively, measurably better where I live now, than it ever was when I lived up here in the mountains. I spent decades desperate to escape this place.

And yet, every time I get up here, swaddled in these protective hills, I get this visceral pang of homesickness.

Much Kitty™ has taken to claiming the blankets and then grumbling when you get into bed. My mom's here, and she just did it to her. Goofball.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

- Elephant

- Alligator
- Brown Bear
- Mountain Goat

Listed in decreasing order of proximity. The elephant was a quarter mile away. Moose, about the same. Alligator? 15 feet. Bear? 10 feet (through a window). Goat? TOO DAMN CLOSE.

Have you written anything specifically on "AI"(sic) as resilience targeting?

Or have you seen anything good on the topic that you might point me toward?

Oh, and thanks for all the links in your pinned post!

This is kinda brilliant actually.

I only keep my Meta account because my partner uses Messenger for low priority stuff. My login got bounced, and it appears to have been because of explicit images posted on my account.

When I changed my password, the login manager told me there had been a breach at Meta.

I feel so secure.

As someone who has had exquisitely prepared duck, I find the idea of turducken to be anathema.

When a culture gets mad
Cuz to them something's bad
That's a more

When two cultures see things
Differently we can't say
One is right

Y'all, my 13yo made a successful torte with zero help from anyone else, and it was goddamn delicious.

Racism aside, the problem with "it's not stolen, it's conquered" is that attitude is nothing but "killing you is an acceptable way to take your stuff" and I'm pretty sure that's bad. "I didn't steal your car, I conquered it" would, uh, not hold up at trial.

Once when I was a teenager, a girl I'd just been fingering brought me a pair of nail clippers (oops).

They are turning over the information of what they believe are mostly non white/ non straight people

Their resistance was to people they thought were full humans , Black people, women, immigrants and Queer people don’t count
Greg Abbott has bent his views on state sovereignty to accede to the wishes of Trump.

Texas recently joined dozens of states in turning over voter roll information to the DOJ, despite long-standing resistance to federal oversight of state elections.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Long a Defender of States’ Rights, Embraces Trump’s Push to Expand Presidential Power
Defending Texas sovereignty has been central to Abbott’s political identity. Yet he has helped Trump erode states’ authority over elections, policing and deploying the National Guard.

Drove the fuel burner across town. Got back home, and 20 minutes later I was like, "Uh, why isn't the car charging?"

(because you didn't drive that car, duh)
November 26, 2025 at 11:31 PM
I want mandatory lights on cars. Now.

Too many motherfuckers out here hauling ass, in black cars, with no lights on, in the gloomy-ass blue hour.

My students should not be homeless.

To be clear, no one should be homeless, because housing is a human right. But for fuck's sake, we shouldn't have people trying to go to college from a shelter.

Uh, did y'all MFs know about this and not tell me? Not cool y'all.
No one told me there was a new western show where Gillian Anderson and Lena Heady play rival family gang leaders?? I would like royalties please because this idea was clearly plucked out of my best dreams.
