Why is it cats are better at flirting with humans than humans are? #catsofbluesky #blackcats #void

Today was good, if full of awkward realizations like that I have no idea how to put on makeup anymore, because @flyingghoti.bsky.social and I basically went on our first date since before the pandemic Chesapeake Shakespeare Co's Comedy of Errors gone twenty shades of hon. 'Twas cute.

Few things are as humbling as trying to get a curio cabinet from one place to another around Baltimore. If there's a handbook I don't have, please share. I'm seriously going to get the waily wailys if what feels like it should be a fairly simple logistical problem continues to thwart me.

A neighbor, who worked for the federal government, just asked for help after being illegally fired. Without the legal system's rulings as enforceable recourse, where are we going and how do we stop it? When will enough people see the need to apply the brakes for it to matter?

Awake with imperious cats, coveting beauty I can't afford. Despite #WilliamMorris railing against plutocracy & saying art should never be for The Few, exclusive licensing for his art is in the hands of a company that charges around $400/roll of wallpaper, negating public domain rules in perpetuity.

I ranted it in MAGEC, & I'll sound the horns here, too. Folks who are nearing the end of winter & who live in places where it's invasive: it's time to destroy an insidious evil in this land. Time to revel in righteous destruction. Of #EnglishIvy. chesapeakeclimate.org/learn-how-to...

Meanwhile in #nativeplant / #artsy news, I'm thinking about making stencils of some of my favorite local flora, since we're gonna have to take walls down to replace our rusted shut pipes anyway. Trying some extremely preliminary stretches of #Packera aurea and #Rudbeckia hirta.

Am I wrong, or is #Google conspicuous in how it isn't publicly praising the administration right now? Because if I'm not wrong, I want to know how best to pester them to bring #Google+ or similar back. I feel like they're better positioned to put up a Facebook-comparable platform than any other.

Lousy few days thanks to chronic pain and disability gunk. I have can't-work-anymore level fibromyalgia. I often describe it without the name because I cannot tell you how exhausting it is to contend with people's assumptions it's (always) a minor annoyance of a condition, or even that it's made up.

It's one of those thank-goodness-for-TENS-units days. Nights. Lifetimes. It will never cease to amaze me how much of a relief it can be to confuse any-old-pain by creating weird-other-pain over top of it until the body's screams sound like white noise. #TENS #zap #chronicpain

Probably a good time to consider rejoining. We just don't have gallon of ketchup space though.
