His DC phone number for constituents to call: 202-224-5344. VM is full so try again during business hours. Or try one of the local offices.

Weirdly, his VM is full 🤔

I land in Houston in a couple hours. We are going to try to make our way out there tomorrow!

Bioethics. I still recommend books that I read in that class 20 years ago. I was a mechanical engineering major.

Yup. This was going to be my contribution. I figured someone would have mentioned it already 😹

Paolo Nutini also used it to good effect in Iron Sky. open.spotify.com/track/5EpP1l...

I loved your book so much, and I felt so seen, that I bought a copy for my mother. (The mom who asserted “You can’t be autistic. You were always so verbal.”) It’s literally made a material difference in our relationship. Thank you.

I’ll bet @michaelhobbes.bsky.social has thoughts.

Ironically, our newest little one, Ophelia, who is all black with one little white patch, is the one that “sings” all night. Niko can be talkative though, especially when he wants food, which is nearly always. Someone rescued him as a teacup-sized kitten out of a dumpster in Houston during Harvey 😿

Your tuxedo looks like my tuxedo, Niko! In fact, he’s in my lap right now. Both your cats are gorgeous 😻

Receipt for social proof but no fashion questions here!

Donated! We recently added two rescues to our pack, including a six month old Ophelia and a six year old Octavia, both of whom had been at the shelter for a bit. So very much appreciate the work of these organizations.
