I think I need to just Brick my phone completely, like, most of the time. My brain is like "I'll just open these apps over and over" when I'm bored, which is always, and I'm like SURELY WITHOUT THIS STUPID THING I'D ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING TO *DO*???

We now have THREE different styles of robotic litterbox in this house.

Tabatha HATES the Litter Robot 4. So I got two other styles to try (both of which I'm leaving unplugged for at least a week).

Romeo will use the LR4, but also will PISS IN THE SMALL BOX I LEFT FOR HER, so it becomes PISS LAKE.

STOP ONE: DONE. Kind of. Waiting for husband to bring me cash for one thing (most take cards).

This one is at one of the local churches, and they have rooms all through the whole building. Raffles, crafts and soaps, pottery, etc!!
Today I am going to try to hit THREE, count 'em, THREE different Holiday Markets in my town.

By walking.

Should be 3ish miles.

Excited to do this with the actual properly supportive shoes I bought the other day!

I am not super impressed lately with WCVB's "investigative" reporting division.

They've done some...iffy work, IMO.

Big story about how there's a Mass. law "loophole" that "lets rideshare drivers get away with r-pe", and don't seem to focus much on how *prosecutors are deciding not to prosecute*.

"You can't call the thing a hoax then still use it to go after people!"

...is what I would say if we lived in a world that made any sense.

They made me un-draw them then jump through hoops but I have drawn them once again. Now to see how much longer this is drawn out before confirmation of the conclusions which I originally drew over a week ago.
Mmmm yes I have drawn these conclusions. Oh well!

Abolish gender markers on government IDs. They serve no useful function. Medical field should move off of sex assigned at birth and have a reproductive organ inventory.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

wait wait wait.

the Trump admin is arguing...that prop 50......is racist???

i'm assuming they're going to argue that it's racist against white people???
November 14, 2025 at 2:58 AM
In case you were wondering if the Epstein stuff was a line for Trump fans: it extremely was not.

It's fake. It's edited. He didn't say he WENT there. "The woman" cleared him. Etc.
