I bought my child a two-record set of Bing Crosby Christmas songs for her record player. I don't know when I am anymore.

Said today: "I am the John Wick of urine sample providers." Anyway, if someone lost a kidney infection, I've found it. Please give identifying characteristics and I'll be glad to return it. (Or, yanno, the antibiotics I just got will handle it. WITH A PENCIL. Who the fuck can do that?)

My daughter works at a Starbucks (though no longer a unionized one, which I hope they'll fix). She's participated in strikes several other times and values everyone who doesn't cross the picket line. Please honor the employees who are trying to better their lives!
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

I am a die-hard Dodgers fan and I want to say, I would have been thrilled if the Blue Jays won tonight. They did so well, and I was cheering all your victories, too!

It rained a lot last night. On our walk this morning, we saw a metric crapton (precise scientific measurement) of earthworms on the sidewalks, plus a bunch of robins ready to do violence. It was an earthworm abattior. Which is, on reflection, the worst Earthworm Jim fanfic ever.

Also on Adventures in Mundanity: Went to the store for Tabasco. Overheard a lady complaining she couldn't find the Tabasco. Located the Tabasco an aisle over. Chased down the other lady to tell her Tabasco was in Aisle 18. Received her spare $1 off coupon for Tabasco. Received Tabasco karma.

Today, I called a pet food company for serving advice (because their "feed this much" chart stops short of my house bear), and warrantied a pair of socks because they wore out. Elsewhere, the fascist shitwad who runs my country seized the capital police. Cognitive dissonance, y'all. And now, 5Calls.

Just a reminder to Pride-celebrating folks (and everyone else) that, as you explore all aspects of your sexuality, you should only use objects with flared bases that are intended for the activity you're using them for.

Someone hit a squirrel in the street in front of my house. I'm watching a beautiful, industrious crow skeletonize it with really amazing efficiency. Happy lunchtime, bird!

My youngest daughter handed me "House of Leaves" to read. I have parried with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and The Southern Reach. I am convinced Area X beats the house on Ash Tree Lane.
