i have a gray cat now for the first time in my life and she is ADORABLE

look at this cutie pie in her lil donut
mellie snuggled in her shaggy pink cat bed. she looks like she's sleeping in a big fuzzy donut and it's so precious i could die. there's no junk on the floor next to her. that must be your imagination. another shot of mellie in her bed, this time head up surveying the room. note her adorable white chin. once again, there is no random crap on the floor. you saw nothing

i didn't realize the new testament specifically says to stay woke, that's kind of cool
1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 The Day of the Lord [1] Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. [2] For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. [3] While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. [4] But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. [5] For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. [6] So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. [7] For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. [8] But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. [9] For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. [11] Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. (ESV)

Bad deeds are by bad men, I learn. In truth, I doubt the very term. I think, if we are understood, That we are not bad. And we are not good. They say to weight my grace and sin – The balance will reveal my kin. More useful time is spent instead sorting decades into blue and red. There's none so wretched as to lose the right to do right when they choose. (You think you know what you ever could but we are not bad, and we are not good.) A man can craft a wooden shelf without becoming wood himself. One thousand sins are not enough to change your spirit or your stuff. All you who look to your insides to find the evil that there lies fall prey to risible falsehood – We are not bad! We are not good!

the good news is, it's probably a lie? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

but yeah here you go
tumblr post from bomberqueen, sept 1 2019: oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from boston, with the strongest boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer. his farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. this was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. now, you don't just like flood the bogs and then go around it in a boat or whatever. no, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such. post continues: well when you're in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don't like it, so they're, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the eater onto a tall thing. so yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was "are you cool with spiders?" "you'd be amazed," he said to us, shaking his head a little, "how many guys would just straight LIE. like, you think i'm asking you that question to be cute? nah man you're going to have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. you really gotta be chill with spiders if you're gonna work a cranberry harvest." 1st response, from use microwave2000: happy international workers day to the cramberry bog spiders 2nd response, from indigobluerose: i want any cranberry farmers reading this to know, really truly know, that "are you cool with spiders" is NOT A SPECIFIC ENOUGH QUESTION FOR THIS SITUATION. hashtag: there is nothing i want to be climbed by in large numbers

reminds me of this analysis:
a lot of people are confused by the concept of "cat years", sp here's a guide t how you can think of the age of a cat less than 1 year: just a little baby 1-3 years: just a little baby 4-6 years: just a little baby 7-10 years: just a little baby 11+ years: elderly baby

excerpt that i found particularly shocking
On a recent episode of the Carmudgeon Show podcast, auto journalist Jason Cammisa described a phenomenon occurring with some LED headlights in which there are observable minor spots of dimness among an otherwise bright field of light. “With complex arrays of LEDs and of optics,” he said, “car companies realized they can engineer in a dark spot where it’s being measured, but the rest of the field is vastly over-illuminated. And I’ve had now two car companies’ engineers, when I played stupid and said, ‘What’s the dark spot?’ … And the lighting engineers are all fucking proud of themselves: ‘That’s where they measure the fucking thing!’ And I’m like, ‘You assholes, you’re the reason that every fucking new car is blinding the shit out of everyone.’”

actually, a more statistically defensible point i could be making is that people are simply not more dangerous after they have committed a crime

anyway, excerpt:
The system’s myopic focus on psychopathy as an irredeemable moral failure ignores growing research that indicates that psychopathy, as rooted in impairments in thinking and feeling, may be more manageable than previously thought. Research indicates that appropriate interventions in childhood and early adolescence for people displaying psychopathic traits can reduce the risk of developing psychopathy in later adolescence or adulthood. Other studies show that, for people with diagnosed psychopathy, therapeutic interventions that are targeted to the person’s information-processing difficulties can lead them to act more empathetically or, at least, less antisocially. This leaves open the possibility that psychopathy could, with further research and investment, be managed within an appropriate treatment setting, such as a forensic hospital. That situation marks a compelling alternative to long periods of untreated incarceration within jails and prisons, whose abhorrent conditions only worsen psychopathy and its effects. Locking away anyone with a mental illness, including psychopathy, without treatment does not make society safer. Instead, studies show that the practice only promotes recidivism and more antisocial behavior. If the criminal system’s role is to ensure public safety, it must treat and manage psychopathy—and all mental illnesses—through evidence-based approaches, rather than merely passing moral judgment. If it does not, our jails and prisons will continue to be incubators of public danger.

reminds me of this classic
facebook post from tiny tim's foster family with 2 pics of a fat lil kitten. text reads: i've been very worried about cheesecake lately, because she is so bulbous. i was worried about worms or, worse, fluid buildup from fip. i took her to the vet yesterday. they ran some tests. looked for fluid. i was stricken with anxiety, heart racing. untreated fip is usually fatal to kittens and losing cheesecake would be too much. the vet comes back into my room and hands me my carrier with cheesecake back in it. her face doesn't indicate much. she looks at me. i look at her. i am terrified. "just fat", she says. cheesecake is just fat.
