Let’s do! We will be traveling next week but afterwards, we should find an evening or weekend when you could drop by. Gerald absolutely ADORES everyone he meets.

Q: Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? A: Hmmm. Probably repeatedly stab myself with a needle on gorgeous summer afternoons.

Several months ago I had the bright idea to replace these boring (see cuff) buttons on this red flannel shirt, a sweet Buy Nothing find, with these cute-as-a-button shiny little black ones (see front). I’ve never dealt with buttons that are a bigger pain in the ass. Every few weeks I add another.

FYI, I just found out for my Minnesotan folks that Cub Foods sells the Outshine mango frozen fruit bars with the Tajin seasoning. This was not something I was aware existed, so thanks for Bluesky.

In a sharp contrast from the punitive measures used today, vagrancy laws at the founding of the country actually mandated support for the homeless community.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire was blasted at City Council after saying Houstonians "do not want to see encampments" and that "the homeless do not need to be in public space."

"But they do not have a private space," homeless advocate Elizabeth Sheffield told him.

It’s been a real lifesaver around here. Gerald eats like a dog. I’ve never met a cat so ravenous and indiscriminate! He doesn’t seem to mind it one bit, either—he doesn’t get frustrated, just eats a little less wolffishly.

Not really! He gets antsy sometimes, but hasn’t quite figured out when it’s time. Mind you, we portion it out in very small quantities, so food is delivered about six times a day.

We also give them a tiny portion of wet food twice a day. Gerald gets his on a “lickimat” to slow him down. It’s brought much peace to the household, as Willie is a pokey eater and Gerald would hover over him and disturb his sacred mealtime, but is now occupied trying to get every last morsel.

We had to get an automated feeder last year when we realized how quickly he was gaining weight. It’s been great, though: I like that the delivery system and ME are two different entities now. I have NOTHING to do with the food arriving. It’s an act of god.

Then you have problems reading. I am not “sensitive” to the word abortion—I’ve been part of the movement for quite a while, and embrace the word. I also understand that someone who is elated to be pregnant/losing a wanted pregnancy doesn’t deserve a lecture in semantics while they are in crisis.
