Author of fictions and strong leisure time opinions. My Wings Rising epic fantasy duology is from Meerkat Press. I also write horror, funny sci-fi, and maybe essays soon, and I take pics of cats, flowers, and food & drink. Bay Area, CA

It can't be real. I do not believe someone exists who would try to sue over the damage of rescuing the daughter he almost accidentally killed.

Always a good time. I secretly enjoy sprinkler repairs because they are impossible to do dry.

Yes, that'd be great! I'm not convinced that a younger Dem candidate would automatically get that, though. We need to get out the vote, no question, and have a clearer message than "I'm not that guy."

I don't think I'd be feeling any less stress if another Democrat were running in his place. Pretty much equal, honestly.

15 years ago, sometime in the month of July, in a barn in North Carolina, this absolute Queen was born. Happy birthday, Mazu!

Gonna keep urging people to write postcards to voters in swing states or volunteer to phonebank from home. It's easy and every little bit counts and means a little bit less someone else has to do. As long as there's time, there's hope.

We were invaded by kittens for late night snacks tonight. I am unable to resist their cuteness and bar them entry. I CANNOT DO IT.

Sure, I'm fine with that. The Reapportionment Act just happens to be my pet cause so I can't help but throw it in there too, because so many people don't even realize it exists and the huge role it plays on making both the House and the EC, and the Presidency by extension, less representative.

Electoral College votes *should* be closer to democratic representation because they = the # House members. Unfortunately, no Congress has undone the cap placed on representative #s in1929, effectively making the People's House, and the EC, as unbalanced in people power as the Senate.

As a Banana Slug alum, I can report that they have no natural predators. Humans can, however, eat them, but it's not a tasty experience.

Achievement unlocked! Last year, my friend Jen and I made a pact to enter poetry in the Alameda County Fair. We both barely made the deadline in May . . . but we achieved matching silver ribbons! I think we can safely add "poet" to our writer resumes, now.

Timeline cleanser. Just down the street from the rental house is a house with 2 dogs. One is a basset hound. It climbs up the little rock wall there and sits in the top of the playhouse. It takes the slide down. It is adorable.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Campaign news has overshadowed this.

For all those who missed it: the administration announced $1 billion to help communities be more resilient to climate change/natural hazards.

I fear I made a grave error in thinking I could wrangle our hot tub chemistries. Followed shortly by several more grave errors of throwing far more chemicals in than I meant to ... I mean a tablespoon is just a teaspoon with more confidence, right??

Rad Na from Chai Thai Noodles in Hayward! This wide rice-noodle dish comes with Chinese broccoli and cabbage in a luscious, soothing gravy. I opted for the tofu and was quite pleased.

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

New = bad is really the core of it and also old = character supposedly. I like to comment with how much of an improvement I think a remodel usually is and how much more fun.

Maybe! For some reason, regular deodorant did not work for me when I first started needing it, but this whole body stuff totally does.

I was using a medicated powder the last few years for it, but let me tell you--Native Whole Body Deodorant is working amazingly well instead. If you want to switch things up.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

Y'all are aware that the ONLY reason Biden wasn't able to deliver on his initial promise of student loan forgiveness on the scale he wanted to was because the Supreme Court shot it down, right? And that he still managed to forgive over 100 billion despite this? The lack of awareness is nuts.

Conspiracy theory time: The Supreme Court makes clear that unofficial acts taken by a president are fully prosecutable, and the next day we learn about tons of evidence tying Donald J. Trump to Epstein.

I once thought John Roberts was a fairly reasonable choice for the Supreme Court. Dude was just waiting for the moment to let his extremism out.
