Putting this out here since I’ve seen folks panic prematurely. Just because a legislator filed a bill (st or fed) doesn’t mean it’s law. Just because one chamber (house or senate) passes it, doesn’t mean it’s law. All bills go thru BOTH chambers & may look quite different after they reconcile.

Spoiler: it was a trap. Also, worth it. 🐱

From the living room come the unmistakable sounds of a cat turning a Roomba on and off…

IDK whose cat needs to hear this, but… The middle of the litter box is not made of lava. You do not need to perch on the edge like a furry gargoyle. There are no vacuum cleaners hiding in the sand. It is 100% safe to 💩 in the middle. Thank you. 🐱

I had fun this weekend; I always enjoy talking to folks about my books. Interestingly, my booth sales were pretty evenly split between cash, square & Venmo. This year, my sales (by unit) were pretty evenly distributed between books, reusable crochet gift bags, and the poetry note cards.

Listening to Grammy noms, pt 4: If Durand Bernarr’s love sofa holds 2 but his lady’s love sofa only holds 1, maybe this is a problem they can solve by finding a nice sectional that meets everyone’s needs. Maybe his love sofa just has too many beer stains or the dog chewed the cushions.

Houston, TX peeps—free fun artisan market this weekend in the Heights! Yes, my books (and poetry notecards) and I will be there, but so will dozens of artists and craftspeople, so it’s a fun & festive place to get a head start on holiday shopping. Free admission, and (well behaved) dog/kid friendly.

Listening to 2025 Grammy noms, pt 3: Bob finds “Mark,” by Mark Guiliana to be alarming. This is his face, staring at the speaker. It is worth noting that he leaves the room for rap, and sleeps through most everything else, so his taste in music is not to be relied on. 🐱

Where’s my 🧶? Under the cat, of course! Thankfully he’s got so much floof that he can’t feel me pulling on it.

If you’re ever in the mood for some low-stakes drama, check out the comments on any Facebook post about country music. (Assuming you’re not a fan.) Country fans are some the most gatekeeping bitches on the planet. 50% of comments will be like “that’s not ReAL CoUnTrY.” & then there’s this…

Bob says, “Wut?” But he says that most of the time.
