This week is going fine so far, but last week I said goodbye to my kitty buddy, Ralph. He was 18. I’ve known him his whole life, and he’s lived with me for most of it. (A friend of mine left him with me when she moved and couldn’t take him with her.) This guy has been by my side through so many changes in life, always the sweetest of cuddle buddies. I still keep expecting him to hop up on my lap when I sit down.

I’m not really interested in oil changes, but my Chevy bolt is chugging along just fine. Anything but Tesla.

Every time I think I can’t be more dumbfounded at the state of things in this country, I’m proven wrong. This is the actual front page of the HUD website right now.

Opposite here, I was an F last night, so now I’m an H.

Yeah, it took me a second to process what they actually meant. 😂

I did not know that was a thing. 😂

My friend’s daughter’s name is Freya; it would be cool to see that and other names from various mythologies get a popularity boost.

That one is so much fun!

A Wrinkle in Time

Ass is the most complicated word in the English language.

I apparently think up a lot of bullshit.

Yeah, actually, that checks. 😂

What a sweetheart ❤️

Ugh, that sucks. I wish I had some sort of advice to offer, but everything in this country is so fucked. Rooting for you.

I wouldn’t say that’s irrational at all.

It would be cool to be able buy merch with the option to donate the same merch (or cost of merch for other needs depending on request) to another person in the community.

I always hate when people are sad but… I told this guy straight off the bat that I’m in a monogamous relationship. Had some excellent conversations with him about socialism. He kept trying to kiss me. He’s a nice guy. He’s mostly sober but on a bender because he can’t deal with the world. Damn, do I get that. But fucking boundaries, man. I finally just up and left mid-conversation.

Happy that my current representative has a spine. I’m in the midst of a move, and my new representative, not so much. Just emailed him to let him know I’ll be campaigning against him in the future.

Thank you!

I officially got the job offer that had been in HR limbo for awhile, so that’s a huge relief! Less than a week until the big move. Trying to force myself to take a breather now and then between frantically getting things done.
