Now if only the fines were high enough to make it cheaper to actually do the right thing.

If you love a book, tell someone. Recommend it. Loan your copy. Send a link. Ask for it at your library. Word of mouth goes further than you think.

Signs redeployed thanks to the hot water heater refusing to light after several attempts (and I'm not unfamiliar with gas appliances). That was a lovely discovery after 4-ish KM walk in 35C for pet sitting, followed by prepping my larger pepper planters.

My autocorrect tried to turn my alt text description of "actual daylight" into "scrotal daylight" and my brain is too done with today to contemplate what that would look like.

Don't let the light fool you: I'm actually going to bed an hour later than I really should be for my early shift tomorrow, and it's 28C inside right now with our dinky A/C running. ๐Ÿซ

It's interesting how many men have chimed in to helpfully point out the dragons in the audience won't write reviews about bad portrayal. You are telling on yourselves. So we both recognize it's not about knowledge, it's about accountability over about staying clueless about inner lives of women.

I just saw an interview with a male fantasy author where he said "I guess I haven't really written female protagonists because it's not really something I feel like I can write from a place of knowledge." Reader, this man wrote a series with a whole ass ancient dragon as their protagonist. ๐Ÿ™„

#BirdGlamour knows Western Flycatchers by any other name would live up to the "difficilis" part! In 1989 the species was split into the Pacific-slope Flycatcher & Cordilleran Flycatcher. They were merged back into the Western Flycatcher in 2023 because there aren't enough consistent differences!๐Ÿก๐Ÿงช๐Ÿฆ

Mr. Ash is out for his cooler evening walk, with the term "cooler" being somewhat relative.

Ah, yes: another heat wave in a 100-year-old house without central A/C. One of the many MANY reasons I am grateful that I can work from home: I can make sure Ash is doing well.

Oh, paranormal TV. Watching a show on phenomena that's really not cool to name out loud or type... But the white person talking about an "encounter" as a teen when "out with friends, around a fire, just hanging out..." Sweetie, I, too, grew up rural. Ya left out the drinking and getting high part.

Ash is an evil mastermind. He meowed at Rich to lay on the bed with him. Once there, Ash curled up next to my pillow and meowed at me until I joined them. Of course I did. When I got in position, Ash then stood up and got into the "Please Hand Feed Me Second Breakfast" stance. He played us both!

I just got an email from my local greyhound rescue that Caliente, the dog track at Tijuana, is closing. If you're in southern California and thought about a retired racer this might be a great time to reach out to an adoption group. Retired track dogs make awesome pets.

If I hadn't already sold my soul for a cup of Earl Grey back in grad school, I'd be soul-putrefyingly tired right about now.

I miss mockingbirds! I heard them when I was in the States. Every once in a while I'll hear one outside of the clinic I take notes for remotely.
