Charlie has decided I've done enough for one day.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Saw a thing and it made me think. Why the hell are we still giving kids crappy Recorders to learn music on? An inexpensive tin or penny whistle is easier to learn and a lot less harsh on the ears when things go wrong.

Roscoe, the other cat, has been sweeping around my ankles letting me know he's up to something. I persuaded him to get on my lap. He tried to use it as a launching point for an attack on his brother, Charlie, for control of the top of the cat tower by my desk.

Great review of the 2025 reboot of Silent Night, Deadly Night. As a fan of the original (and some of the sequels 😂), I wasn't sure what to expect but this has me hopeful.
My review of the new #SilentNightDeadlyNight is up! I had fun with this one.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

So, obviously everyone's clowning on this article, which I will not post (they love hate clicks more than anything, don't fall for it), but here's my question: Who's "we"?
Ideas--even good ideas--are cheap. I already have more ideas for books than I will ever be able to write.

When my grandmother was 9 years old, she and her family lived in Texas and they were extremely poor. She lived with her mother and stepfather and three sisters. My great-grandmother made all their clothes, and they scrimped on everything so that they had enough to eat.
