We didn't even know she was gone until she was at another door crying to be let in and we weren't 100% sure this wasn't some other black cat who decided this place seemed okay.
It's been a long week. A long month. A long 250 years. That means something. It means we get to cry out in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night." And it means at least one good thing:
Apparently the Social Security Administration is sending out propaganda now. I have no idea why I got this. I do not collect social security.
Thinking about it after I just posted that, I think I had it conflated with this movie that Billy Crystal made based on being friends with Andre the Giant:
It's been a long week, even though it was a "short" week. So much to do the last week of school. So many end of year events. But we made it. We're still here. And so are you. I'm tired. But it's Friday evening. And that means something. At least one good thing.
Deeply weird to see a whole video about the moral panic around ragtime that just ignores why there was a moral panic around ragtime being "animalistic" and pretends it was about the music not sounding like Beethoven. I wonder why there was a Scott Joplin moral panic, but not Ravel.
This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. 🐈 This isn't even my cat. It's just a stray I saw.
Also consistent. 2008-07-08 I didn't even take it with this phone, or even a smart phone, but I transfer my old phone to my new phone (which is why I still have a bunch of midi ringtones.)
When you have even The Daily Caller coming out against datacenter water theft, you would think this could be an issue Democrats could make something out of.
IME anything made for a lawfirm can hold whatever books you want to put on it.
It's been a long day and a long week. We have had more terrible news. I fear it will only get worse. But we are still here. That means something. And it's Friday evening. That means something, too. At least one good thing.
Pretty much just from 1am to 7am, Jordan. But thanks for the reminder to turn my battery backup back down now that winter is over and the sun comes out sometimes.
It's been a long day. The longest I've personally had in a while. I'm tired of things being like this. But I'm still here. And so are you. And I'm glad of that at least. And it's Friday afternoon. That means something. At least one good thing.
It's been a long day. It always is when the kids are out of school but we still have to work. Not a bad day, though, even if the world is on fire. And it's Friday afternoon, and that means something. At least one good thing.
It's been another long week of corruption and fascism and frustration. But we're still here. That matters. It's Friday evening and that means something. At least one good thing.
Two cats. Former strays. The gray one is still afraid of me but not my spouse.
It's been a long and holy week. I'm tired. You're tired. Lots of bad news. And I burned my hand making dinner. But Cleveland won the home opener. And it's friday afternoon. That means something. At least one good thing.
It's been another long week. We've had hail and thunderstorms. Freezing rain and 80° days. I'm cold and I'm tired. And I'm still here. And so are you. That's important. It's Friday evening and that means something. At least one good thing.
