40 something cat mom in SoCal. Studied some stuff. Taught some stuff. Advocate for some stuff. Here for BioMed/Research/Pysch content and to stay up to date on the fall of the U.S.
A day late but Pax spent #caturday in her turret sleeping through the rain “storm” here in SoCal. Kilian mixed things up and snoozed the day away in a different “couch fort” on a different couch. It was, obviously, very good weather for napping.

And back to being embarrassed about the US again. I knew the hope wouldn’t last but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. 🤦🏼♀️

Ffs. I can’t find the words for how I feel. This “administration” has me speechless. I’m at the point where screaming “what the actual fuck” is the best I can do and that’s so over used that it hardly has any weight behind it. We need a word stronger than “fuck” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling
Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.

It’s #caturday and today my goal is to step away from the internet, rest, regain a bit of sanity, and enjoy some birdwatching with Pax.

Here’s a small palate cleanser for your feed. It’s been a crazy few days on social media and I think we all deserve to remember that there is still (at least a little) good in the world.

There is a chance that this ice cube broke my brain. I just wanted to put ice in my water, not deep dive how/why it grew a spike. Is there a war going on in my freezer than I’m unaware of? I’m too burnt out for frozen food diplomacy.

Happy #Caturday everyone. I had planned to catch up on some work but Kilian has decided otherwise. To be fair, his plans for the day look much more enjoyable 💙

A friendly reminder that the 🍊 dictator remains incredibly unpopular. Recently, I’ve been seeing more pro-🍊 comments across social media so, to preserve my sanity, I took a gander at the numbers.

🚨 DOGE dumped the entire SS database—names, addresses, birth dates, SSNs—onto a vulnerable cloud server.
Millions of Americans now face the risk of identity theft.
In what universe does this qualify as "efficiency"?
Congress must hold DOGE accountable for the enormous vulnerability they created.
