I saw a notice about the water being shut off from 10pm to 6am. So I filled bowls and pots with water. What is not in the pictures is the bathtub full of water. Wojo only seems mildly annoyed at the sounds of the fire works or maybe at me for taking his picture.

That is just one room. So many cool things. And Fort Tryon park is great too. My cat Wojo was rescued in the herb garden 15 years ago. I have a 2 hour commute to one job and a 45 minute to another (all public transportation) but I still love living here.

Fuck the power of the presidency and fuck the power of the courts. A democracy is about the power of the people. We need massive protests. Six of these judges need to be thrown out and the court must be expanded. The power of the people need to lead this country now!

I hope so. The feelings of dread and panic whenever I think of this upcoming November are just overwhelming.

I read that he had a cold last night. Too, the whole thing was such a debacle. Personally, I would have felt awful sharing a stage with that monster even if I didn't have a cold.

I don't agree with all of what Biden has done during his time as a politician. But there is no denying that he is a good and decent person. I will vote for the person who is decent and good. Who will hear us when we disagree with the fascist pile of crap who spreads hatred and chaos? It is obvious

This is Wojo and Mau taking a nap together. Wojo is the tabby.

I know this can happen. But, about 8 years or so ago is when I first had to deal with diabetes. My cat Trillian had it. We kept in under control for about a year. Then she crashed hard. It turned out that under the diabetes was lymphoma. Now they can run a more complete test, but it costs $800.

Commit a bunch of crimes - legal trouble. Get lawyers to try to cover up those crimes - they get legal troubles too. Who'd have thunk?

My cat Wojo was diagnosed with diabetes today. I'm sad and overwhelmed. It is not the diabetes itself. I had to deal with this before. It is that I just lost my cat Gand a few months ago to an illness that he had no chance of beating. Diabetes is not the same, but shit.

To the men who follow me and then DM me despite no previous interaction. First, I'm a lesbian and have no romantic or sexual interest in men. Second, I will immediately unfollow you.

There is a thing in my neighborhood where people blast music from their vehicles. It seems some will stay in one spot and do so while others drive around with music blasting. The loudness can be painful even when I'm home with all my windows closed.

It is bad enough that some asshole is sitting in their vehicle blasting music for almost two hours now. But worse, it is house music. Repetitive, crappy, mindless, shit house music.

I don't remember how much they cost then. I don't think they were extremely expensive, but I remember it feeling like a chunk of money at the time. Worth it!

I still have the black leather stiletto thigh high boots I bought from them when I was in my 30s.

Great question. The best I can do is a chant that helps to reduce my anxiety just because it drowns out the voices. It does not bring me calm or assurance.

My cousin died from this last summer. It is such an awful disease. I'm so sorry.

I live in Inwood Manhattan so I have great parks all around me. Before a high-rise went up, I was able to see the Cloisters from my kitchen window.

I have no kids and at this point in my life, the choice is final. I did not have a good childhood and have every reason to believe that I would have been an awful mother.

This would bug me too. It seems to stem from the idea that all teachers should teach out of pure love without caring about being paid or who they are teaching. That idea along with the "lets run higher ed. like a business" makes me nuts.

That is just ageist then. Fostering is supposed to be temporary.

I'm 61 years old. When I was 11, I remember being horrified by a lot of what was happening in the world. I never watched that movie because I could see what was coming a mile away. It wasn't that movie that traumatized me.

Lately Lucy is tolerating Mau more. Just a day or so ago, I noticed Mau's meows changing. Before his meows were scratchy. Now he is incorporating a sort of squeak that sounds an awful lot like Lucy. Could it be that Lucy is giving Mau tips to get my attention?

It sucks but life without my cats would be not good. I owe them what little sanity I have left.

I do worry about this. For one of my three cats, the organization I adopted him from will find a home for him if I die first. For the other two, I'm not sure what I will do. Right now, I really can't home more than three. Vets have become so expensive.

I am new here. I started this account because Post News may be shutting down. This is a picture of my cat Lucy. She often underestimates her size. I can relate.

I often walk by a truck that has written on it "we have" fresh produce. I do not understand what they are trying to say.
