So! After this current 4-year bender with a chaos engine, how long will it take to undo the damage? Two generations, three? CAN it be undone? (May need to up the meds again, clearly I am still thinking. Can't have that.)

Oh fucking shit. This is so scary it literally made me stop breathing for a bit. If transmission via dried feces works in mammals the way it does in birds (see link), then mice are a VERY EFFECTIVE vector for spreading this directly into human habitated areas (www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...)

Once a week, I make fresh food for the dogs to add to their kibble. Mealtimes include a lot of dancing. At *least* once a week, the little monsters make me wonder why I go to so much trouble for them. Like today, when Penelope got me up at 1:30, and again at 4:30, to go out bc of tummy trouble.

ALSO. This is the last day for the 25% off preorders sale at Barnes and Noble! Does the spook-infested art deco mansion of a silent film star sound like it's relevant to your interests? Then I'VE GOT YOU COVERED, FOLKS 👇 www.cheriepriest.com/blog/barnes-...

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

We need to stop referring to Muskie's goof troop as "children." AFAIK, they are all legal adults, and should be prosecuted as such. 12yo Black boys aren't men, 20yo white boys aren't kids.

I admit to cynicism. I've been like this since I was ten or so, when the good people of my small town showed me who they really were in their nice Sunday clothes. Wasn't raised like this, I learned it. And damned if people don't keep showing me who they are. There is good out there, but it's losing.

The full list of "forbidden" keywords is in Darby's thread. It's appalling. ["Female" and "woman" are among them, but weirdly, "male" and "man" are not. 🤔]

You have to understand that Target is a Minnesota company. It’s one of the biggest businesses in the Twin Cities. This is a really big deal.
