  • Mine went missing for a day, and then at 2am a neighbor started pounding on the door - was this our cat wailing keeping them awake?

    So I climbed about 30’ up a pine tree in my boxers, in the dark, unwrapped the cat from the tree, wrapped it around my bare chest (it’s terrified fully extended claws made this a snap, right into my flesh) and down we went.

    She never tried that again, but did enjoy annual escapes onto the roof until the arthritis got too bad.



  • Went to the mall today and one store, a toy store I think, had a big Israel flag hanging by the entrance - like I get that you have an identity at stake here but none of us want to walk under that particular flag to spend our money right now, and you could see that reflected. And that’s not anti-semitism, it’s just voting with our feet.

    Next, it’d be nice to get our tax dollars to do the same thing…


  • Own your own consulting firm which helps this occur anyway.

    But it was pre-Covid the last time I made this work, I finally got in with the idea of steady jobs - they pay you like, $2k every couple weeks just to sit in a little room all day… ok I can doomscroll in a different place for a while if you’re going to pay my bills
