I'm just a copy editor, standing in front of the Fediverse, begging people to stop separating subject from predicate with a comma, e.g.:

My friend from upstairs, visited me.

Just. Stop.

Please.

Canceled my instance membership at Patreon.

Need to find a new home elsewhere.

I'm not continuing to give money to . . . whoever is getting it these days. Once I choose a new instance, I'll be happy to pledge that money to the admin there.

Grandkitten Edition

That tiny ball of fluff in the center of the pic is Odin. He's about 6 weeks old. Very fuzzy. I think there's a fair bit of Siamese or even Himalayan in him; he's got the points on ears and nose and a dark tail.

Hanging out this afternoon at bio daughter's place, while she's on her way to see Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins and her guy is out with his buddies getting fitted for suits (wedding coming up). Granddaughter went up to her room to nap, so it's me with Toast (the dog) and Odin (the tiny rescue […]

[Shooting range practice]

First time with my 380. Not too shabby.

I finished off a box of Federal, then switched to Fiocchi. LOVE the Fiocchi.

Might shoot this for my CCL qualification.

Weight: 182 (starting: 206)

No changes to measurements since last time.

Still loving this. Made a cheesecake in the Instant Pot the other day. Almond flour and flaxseed meal are musts for baked goods like lemon poppyseed muffins; a silicone muffin pan is […]

[Target shooting]

Going to shoot my S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ 2.0 this afternoon.

Last week, my shots with my Sig Sauer P365XL (9mm) were disappointing. We think the old ammo (gift from family friend) was partly the cause, because changing to the new rounds led to improved results. I haven't […]

Personally disappointed that Harris's campaign refused to allow even one Palestinian American to have 5 minutes on stage.

Israel isn't being bombed out of existence.

Yes, I'm a registered Dem. Yes, I support Harris/Walz.

They were wrong in so many ways not to allow what the […]

Early impression of tonight’s #dnc2024 event:

It’s woke as fuck.

Which, I gotta say, as an old, cisgenderd white dude who is also woke as fuck, is lovely.

If you’re not watching; turn on C-SPAN. We’re having a great and joyful time!

Today my second monthly donation to the Democratic Party processed.

I've never, ever done that before.

Felt damn good to see it on my bank app.

Over the last two days, I watched this "overview and dissection" of folk horror, from the classics we think of immediately to newer, less obvious, and less well-known films.

I heed to watch more Japanese and Filipino horror.

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a novel.

I am hoping with my whole being that there's no repeat of 1968.

I was only 10, but I remember watching the news. Not even Walter Cronkite could make it less scary.
