We managed to wait a whole month and a half after the loss of two of our three cats to go to the animal shelter and adopt again. Meet Lady Gizmo de Gadgette (pink, very soft, got in my lap immediately at the shelter) and Portia the Explortia (tiny, whiny and affectionate).

Robert E Lee was a traitor, and a murderous one, and he did it to defend the concept of slavery. All these things must seem very admirable to our current president.

A big raspberry-flavored thank you to Jake F. Tapper for pointing out how Biden "seemed to be getting a bit old" while the current resident of the White House goes ranting at the German leader about all his bugaboos on worldwide television.

Let’s remember this moment

when you rubbed against my hand, my
beautiful licorice cat
let’s remember this moment
when we had enough to eat
when we were warm and safe

whatever they’re like, whatever
tanks roll down the pike
