Like most cats who started life on the streets, my cat Olive has eye herpes. She’s fine, it just makes her eye crust a little goopy. But it also means i get to sing “she’s got herpe eyes!” to the tune of “hungry eyes” as I pet her. Her blep game is also incredibly strong.

Each year for my birthday I read the Dream Song by John Berryman that's the same number as my new age as a sort of horoscope for the year. This year's feels painfully relevant to The Way We Live Now: "Incredible panic rules. Fools elect fools. I myself walked at the funeral of tenderness." oof.

This book is so good but the content is so infuriating that I can only read a little at a time. In case you were wondering, ALA has always been cowardly when it comes to doing the right, but hard, things.

It’s not summer without my mom‘s orange fluffy salad—and yes, it is a Midwestern salad that’s not really salad, but it’s got fruit in it so it’s healthy. I can’t find “packages” of tapioca anymore so I add about a tablespoon of tapioca to pudding and Jell-O.

There’s a skinny little fox wandering my neighborhood. Is it finally time for me to make my Little Prince dreams come true?

So re: brown bag lunches. I think it’s a prime example of Well Meaning White People doing something hollow and performative instead of dealing with real problems. It’s not the bag that’s the problem, it’s how some racists used it to be racist.
![Image of two text messages that read: white people just learned that and want to show how awaken [sic] and thoughtful they are the problem is not the bag! It’s the mother fuckers who used the bag as a scale of color.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6yzu6uhvlyjvtw7ez5su7owa/bafkreidfppyircas2m5liwt4ajzcjtzghldsaqb6r3asseccu7tnbfvkou@jpeg)
