Considering current descriptors. Please check back later. (But I do like cats. And donuts. Edited to add: Also like the Oxford comma. Not necessarily my hill to die on, but maybe one to take an arrow to the knee on?)

Oh look: My local public radio station lets people make donations online in any amount over $5. And there's a little box to type in what motivated making a donation.
In completely unrelated news, I know someone whose former Paramount streaming account cost was definitely over $5.

He's behind me, isn't he?

Things I have learned on Bluesky (copper merchant edition):
1. Anything can evolve to reference Ea-nāṣir.
2. Ea-nāṣir has many fans.
3. So many ways to reference Ea-nāṣir!
4. Ea-nāṣir's bad rep may be a bad rap.
5. Eventually everything will devolve to reference Ea-nāṣir.

Found a book I don't remember owning (it happens) while half-heartedly decluttering today. Agatha Christie, The Golden Ball and Other Stories, 1984. Includes stories from 1920s & 1930s. Sat down and started it. Picked it up and put it down several times over the day. Finished it. #WhatI'mReading

Somehow managed to not eat all day. Threw together quick dish from a recipe I had not tried. Had planned it for in airfryer but defaulted to frypan. Honey glazed tteok, with Li’l Smokies. Tinkered recipe a bit & will tinker more bc temp too high. Overall 7 out of 10. #RateWhatIMake

Sitting in my kitchen. All I can smell is pancakes. I have not made pancakes in many weeks.
Two points:
1. Why does my kitchen smell like pancakes?
2. I should make pancakes.

On 25 March 1911, on the 8th to 10th floors of the Asch Building in NYC, the Triangle Shirtwaist factory caught fire. Doors had been locked to prevent workers from taking breaks or stealing (and to keep out union organizers), so many could not escape. 146 people, mostly immigrant women, were killed.
