Lots of books, lots of video games, a lot of cross-stitching and generally in a low-lying state of annoyance. Don't tell people what they can and cannot read, it's annoying.

Happy to announce that the extremely sweet cat that has been living outside my house for several months has taken to the cat house I bought for him. Cat tax incoming.

I read the essay. It was terrible. She provided no evidentiary support for her assertions, and the grammar was a disaster from beginning to end. Saying "I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul" would have been kind.
This is tantamount to quoting characters in Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" making small talk about constellations for your Astronomy exam.

I did the angel tree shop today. Got the young lady I was buying for $70 in Nintendo gift cards, as she wanted Switch games and since I don't know what she plays, I will simply facilitate her ability to choose for herself.
Also a lot of clothes.

I honestly think they don't even know at this point.
So are we invading Venezuela to cover Hegseth’s crimes or to create new ones? I can’t follow this at all.

if you're in Indiana, would highly recommend writing this person and thanking them. they're going to get a lot of people yelling at them, and it would be good for ppl to see they get support when they stand up to trump.

I really hate these guys.
The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.
And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

Husband and I are old, and this may contribute to the fact that we have only stumbled upon Jesse Wells.

This is inexcusable.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

So no one decided to let me know that the NPR Books We Love for 2025 was finally out? I've only been checking near daily for the past week and a half.

I've had my phone for three years now and only got it when I lost mine. I'll replace it when it stops working, kthanx. Things are expensive.

I'm sorry. Pickleball? Really?
The cocktail stuff I knew about. When seeing Predator with Dad, I literally pointed out the poster with the cocktail menu on it as we both started laughing. I do have a morbid curiosity about how that movie would have been on 2 hurricanes.
