Fur glossy. Tail lashing. Pupils huge. Paws flying. She’s in great form. Wacky kitty mode!

I haven’t voted in person for several years, but all the polling places I remember had all the doors open to the outside air. A basketball gym, a church side-hall, someone’s home garage. And the booths are just curtained frames. But then again, I live in Los Angeles so it’s not freezing in November. Maybe it’s different in Minnesota.

Is it baked or fried?

How old exactly is that one? I can attest to it not being new in 1972. But it could actually be as old as the Great Pyramid for all I know.

Does his talking exhaust you or is it the need for you to come up with responses? Or is it that you just want to be alone?

Depending on the answer,

“I love being with you but I’m too tired for talking. How about you tell me stuff you’re learning/a story while we do Lego and I’ll just keep quiet.”

“I love you but I’m feeling peopled out, I need to be alone today.”

“I would love to spend some time with you but my ears have had a hard day and I’m going to put some cotton in and rest them. Do you think you want to just be quiet together, or would you rather go where you can be noisy?”

In the last one, the cotton balls are a visual reminder to him not to talk, because he’s going to keep feeling the impulse. It’s good if he learns to resist it, but it can be hard to learn. It also indicates that it’s not just him you don’t want to listen to.

I don’t think it applies anyway because you don’t need to talk to adults, you need a break from talk.

Those legging-thingies may make her more physically comfortable if they support her circulation. Or they might just make her more emotionally comfortable. Rather than insist she change her public appearance, you can appreciate her lovely legs in private, and be glad she’s willing to let you see and touch them.

They’re useful for when you need to write a long way in pencil without the line getting fat or taking time to sharpen. Like maybe an essay exam in bluebooks. Its been a long time but iirc there’s room inside for extra leads and maybe also a spare eraser.

Perforated bowel coming up

Ooh, reading this post got me to search “seeds and cuttings exchange Santa Monica” and I discovered there’s a Seed Library in my area! “Sprouts” popped too many wrong results because it’s the name of an organic grocery store chain.

Trans people are also a historically oppressed and marginalized group, so much so that history has hidden a lot of them. That oppression has also been rooted in misogyny. So any attempt to uproot misogyny which ignores this fact is doomed to fail.

Only their narrow definition of woman. And as an old cishet woman myself, I say the only thing radical about them is the amount of conservatism they’re channelling. There’s nothing feminist about that.

Augh, I’m okay but so embarrassed!

Just gonna add, you can use a stick of lip balm on cuticles!

If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.

If you have a bank of mailboxes that sticks out from the wall, you could try perching the “return to sender” envelope on top of the boxes, with maybe a post-it that says “Outgoing Mail” on it.

Those internet people are lying. It’s the Internet, after all.

It’s better for you to try to be a whole person, who has some social time and gets some exercise and maybe cleans up their living space once in awhile.

I’m not up for hanging wet sheets and towels throughout my condo, much less clothes. And my HOA would fine me exorbitantly if I hung laundry on my balcony. I’m seriously glad there are washers and dryers in the basement and that, after constant issues with frontloading washers, we went back to toploaders.

Newer ones have way too many digital buttons and a loud repeating beep when finished. Even newer ones, probably Bluetooth or something

Ugh. If you have even a little space on your desk you could get a “5-cup” (that’s about 2 mugs) drip coffee machine and some unbleached paper filters for about $25. You could still make that refreshing stroll in the direction of the big machine, but with your fresh hot mugful already in your hand.
