As I give my cat a Churu tube snack and think upon advent calendars, I realized that I'd totally buy my cat a Churu advent calendar, where we open up a new treat every day, with each day being a different flavor.

I love jigsaw puzzles. I love advent calendars.
I don't love looking at advent puzzles online and having to play "Spot the AI-Generated Art."
Found one where the stockings hung from the chimney with care looked like square blobs with random ribbons.

Bearing in mind that I'm one of those wacky people who'd be happy having my tax dollars provide healthcare to all:
How Big Mad would the congresscritters who push for work stipulations on safety nets be if the same stipulations applied to the benefits that they receive after leaving Congress?

This happened a lot to magic swords with annoying personalities
An intentionally destroyed #BronzeAge #sword found in a burial at Blaubeuren-Asch. Bronze Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before placed into the grave, in this way they 'died' with the owner. Dating 9th century BC.

So, turning off smart features in Gmail undoes the few category tabs they had set up. Heh. Guess I'll set up some rules instead.
Take that, feature I didn't want to use!

I love mystery boxes. However, my budget does not, so I rarely go in for them.
I do make exceptions for advent calendars, which are a kind of structured mystery box to me. I'm especially happy that places have been doing Halloween advent calendars.

My cat requires her emotional support phone to be in my lap before she'll sit in my lap. This phone has not been mine for over a year now.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Me, looking at my supplements: It’d be convenient to nom all these at once.
Calcium: Bring it, Iron!
Iron: Umm, no. I’d rather have quiet time with friendo Vitamin C in an empty tummy.
Calcium: Coward!
Food: Now, Calcium, don’t be like that. Besides, you like hanging out with me.

With politics, I think you have to go into any negotiation with the idea that you are a player character asking for a wish from a DM who is demonically good at fulfilling wishes in the style of ye olde monkey’s paw.

We're at the time of year where the hawk at one of my fave parks has a heat lamp. (They bring it inside when it gets too cold.) Poor dear can't fly, so they take good care of it.
And their owl continues to lurk in shadow when I visit.

Hey, I know the shut down is technically over but if you’ve got the time or money, please keep helping the food banks. It’s going to be really rough heading into Thanksgiving and Christmas after the double hit of SNAP recipients and Federal workers needing help. ❤️

Been a bit since I donated blood, so I did that today and did my first power red donation. The Nutter Butter reward I give myself after is still the best Nutter Butter ever.

Any gal who has gone trail hiking probably knows that feeling of “that dude is acting creepy—am I overreacting” at some point or another.
If a dude is being creepy, listen to your gut and take as many precautions as you can while getting somewhere safer.
