I am technically allergic to cats. I have two cats. One of them even sleeps on me. I don't usually have much of a problem with them. But I just thoroughly tidied & vacuumed the corner where they most like to shed, and now I can't stop sneezing, only proving that cleaning is hazardous to ones health.

I came to the 'Atom Heart Mother' album late as a Floyd fan because they claimed it was their worst album, but dangit, I love the song "Summer'68," every time it's come on my computer since I got it I've gone "What IS this lovely thing? Oh, that's right, I said that last time I heard it, too."

I offered to write “Happy 7th Birthday” in the speech balloon, but my daughter said that didn’t make sense.

OMG this. Authors are a group of people in which imposter syndrome runs rampant, creating work without a performance element so without immediate feedback from the audience, often with no idea how our work is faring, no control over it, often with out of date sales data. Prime brain weasels fodder.
Yesterday alone I, a person who writes books for a living, emailed two writers (one a friend, one more of an acquaintance) to tell them how much I'd liked their books.
One of them said I had *no idea* how much they'd needed to hear that right now.
It really makes a difference. 💗

I've met people who think telling fellow authors you're a fan is weird or cringe or fanboy-ish or whatever. I give zero fucks. I love books. I'm a fan of great writers. I've reached out to half a dozen just this week to say I loved something they wrote.

I was recently accused me of lying when I said I've never used AI. It's not that hard to do. Why on earth would I use a flawed, polluting, external brain when mine's perfectly fine? If my fridge is working, I'm not going to move my food out of it and into a wood crate in the yard.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!
