Solidarity with your fellow workers! Don't buy anything from Starbucks.
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

We were gifted a used litter robot 3 about 1.5 years ago. Despite a recurring bonnet error problem & some mystery litter leakage, it was still a huge improvement from multiple standard boxes.
Since I got a modest windfall, we just upgraded to a 4. I'm immediately impressed with how quiet it is.

Wife didn't latch the front door so our cat Goblin escaped. We ran around the block hoping he hadn't gone far because it'd been less than an hour- no dice.
So i settled on the porch to keep an eye out during my lunch.
Lo & behold, 10 mins later I hear the dog 3 doors down going nuts. 1/

There's a 127 yr old Dutch bakery almost an hour away from me. Since I was little, my family would go once a year to acquire an excessive amount of glorious almond pastries to enjoy over a few days.
Once us kids moved out, it was really hard to coordinate this trip- a new tradition was needed. 1/

My DM wife requested i stat up some kobold mobsters and a rampaging slot machine encounter for D&D tomorrow.
Think I hit a good balance of buff/debuff randomness that won't be a headache to run! She might not like that spinning the slots are a free object action, but the debuffs offset action econ.

My wife was excitedly harvesting the first big round of garden tomatoes this morning, carefully placing them at the edge of the raised bed behind her.
Only to turn around and discover that Phineas had already helped himself to the biggest, prettiest Purple Cherokee.

I love my neighborhood so much sometimes. Yesterday I was on my porch when a pack of six 7-10 year-olds lead by a girl with a snow shovel stop in front on my yard.
Leader: Hey mister!
Me: Hey, kids, what's up?
Leader: Can we pick up trash in your yard for a few hours?

A couple adolescent raccoons visited while I was on the porch tonight. Probably only about 16in long nose-to-tail.
The other one was way more adept at dodging my camera.

While it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be after 10 years, I have no clue what I eat that creates such vibrantly orange crumbs.

I've been workshopping a Sisyphus joke too, but it's an uphill battle.

I think the MAHA right rejects the fact pregnancy is a high risk condition for 3 reasons:
-it undermines eugenics & the idea that health problems are moral failings
-it supports that birth control & abortion are healthcare
-it makes the cruelty of forced birth more obvious

Slipped going down the last couple stairs in my house. Probably jammed knee and definitely bruised ass cheek.
Just when my arm was finally healing from shoveling, dammit.

Ok, it may not look like it, but this is a big deal.
Kaegan (tuxedo) is elderly, has always been anxious, & averse to climbing anything taller than 3ft.
Goblin (void) is very dominant & territorial.
So them snuggled together on the 5ft high cat shelves above my desk is a minor miracle.

Remembered I have absinthe, so i louched a couple glasses tonight.
I'm still nursing a tennis elbow injury from shoveling many tons of dirt a couple weeks ago, and i have to sink some posts for trellises in the AM, so I deserve a treat before bed.
