Oh boy, it’s been all of 48 hours and the fundraisers are trying to convince me that donating to Senate campaigns is going to help anything.
Screenshot of a reply to a Democratic fundraising email. The text of the email reads: Please tell me how flipping the Senate “Blue” is going to accomplish anything when the Democrats currently in the Senate are cowards who can’t hold the line as soon as it becomes slightly inconvenient for them. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 11, 2025, at 1:06 PM, Kirsten Gillibrand <info@dscc.org> wrote:  Hi Kelsey, I'll get right into it -- Kamala Harris emailed you. Chuck Schumer emailed you. James Carville emailed you. Mark Kelly emailed you. Roy Cooper emailed you. Sherrod Brown emailed you. Adam Schiff emailed you. Marc Elias emailed you. And now, I've emailed you too! All of us emailed you because ever since the GOP trifecta took office, Donald Trump and his allies in Congress have worked against the American people. Flipping the Senate blue is the best and surest way to stop them. Without control of the Senate, Donald Trump won't be able to pass his destructive ideas into law. He'll lose his rubber stamp for his extreme nominees. So right now, we need all hands on deck to win this thing, Kelsey.

Post a picture of when your pet was little

Lily turns 1 in two weeks!
Small white cat clinging on to a mushroom shaped cat scratcher. She is preparing to pounce on a toy bird. Small white cat sitting on my leg. She is smaller than the width of my thigh. Small white cat inside a small red milk crate. Small white cat sitting on my lap, biting a fox toy. It looks like she is giving the fox a hug.

Back to dunking on political texts I get. Honestly, after today, I’m not so sure.

I got this email with a job suggestion from LinkedIn and… I’m sorry, this is just the corporate way of saying “Snitch,” yeah?

I’ve been bad about sharing the silly Lily pictures here because I’ve been sending them on Discord. Sounds like I just need to take more photos of my cat to have a variety for different socials 😉 #kcskitty

Calling out more fundraising texts that I get.

Please tell me how answering a poll is going to “save social security?” Like, I need to know what the plan is, what are the steps between me answering a poll (and presumably being asked to donate money) and social security being saved.

Have some photos of Lily pretending to be water this morning (and then fighting it for supremacy) #kcskitty

The plastic is cut open along the top of the case, and the cat is poking her head out of the top and tilting her head to the side slightly, with a cute, inquisitive look.

This isn’t the first one of these I’ve gotten and I just need to say, I’m not thanking my elected officials for doing their damn job. This is the bare minimum.
Screenshot of a text message reading “Kelsey, Sen. John Fetterman upheld our values and voted no on Hegseth. Thank him and encourage him to keep opposing dangerously unqualified national security nominees: https://civicfeedback.com/ty_fetterman?id=P724 - Building America Reply Stop to End”

Going ahead and contacting my congressmen (using their online forms. I know calling is better but I don’t have the spoons for that today so I’m doing what I can) and I’m on Fetterman’s form and… why is climate change out of alphabetic order here?

My favorite part of my new job is that I can name my calendar appointments dumb things like this and people appreciate my sense of humor (I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow so I’m working 10-6:30)

To brighten the timeline: I made my cat a pom pom tonight, and it’s her new favorite thing!

I should have done this years ago, but for my own sanity…
Screenshot of an email from the New York Times with the subject line “Breaking news: Trump paints grim picture of U.S. in inaugural speech”. Over the email is a pop up asking if I’d like to unsubscribe from the NYT’s email list.

Lily is pleased that it’s warm enough for me to open her window again #kcskitty

So, I (unfortunately) needed to log in to Twitter for my job and… I thought that only paid members could have 2FA? But mine still seems to be active from long before Elon took over?
I still had my code generator active so I entered it and logged in and everything, it was just… odd?

I haven’t been updating #kcskitty because I’ve been sending these in a shared Discord server, but we’ll bring her back. Lily thinks Christmas trees are for doing a big chomp.

Something tells me my tension in this section is going to be really uneven. Can’t imagine why… #kcskitty

My thoughts summed up in one screenshot (I assume the answer to my question is yes) @ravnkeeper.bsky.social @kaitei-kinsen.bsky.social
Screenshot of a discord group chat. Pieces of an irrelevant conversation are on the top of the screen, but the focus point of the screenshot is me attempting to send “I do miss the trending tab a bit, to know things like “is discord down?” Comedically, that message has failed to send.

Do you think she understands the difference between working from home days and days off? Or when I’m working does she think “why won’t Kelsey snuggle in bed with me?” #kcskitty
White kitten laying on a bed with a blue sheet, sleeping. She’s laying on her back, curled up in the way that cats do, but with her front legs held above her head like she’s on a rollercoaster.
