Said goodbye to this good boy a few weeks ago. The end was rough, so I haven't been up to sharing his passing.

Felix found us as a leggy "teen" and gave us just over 18 years of joy. He was absolutely the smartest, most interesting, coolest cat we have ever had. He is so thoroughly missed every day.

Hug your pets close.

Felix, our black and white cat, laying stretched out on the table (that he knows he isn't allowed on) peering at the camera as if to say "well, what are you going to do about it?"
Felix stretched out on his back in the grass with arms and legs flung out, a common pose while lounging anywhere. One of my favorite things was his obvious trust that and confidence that he was safe and could fully be the cat that he was. I hope that makes sense. My husband often held him in his arms on his back, almost upside down to give him a good head scrub and he always limp and purring.
Felix napping in the yard. As he got older, he was a full yard napper, moving with the sun and/or shade depending on the temperature.

Waiting on my grocery order to be brought to the car and everything is FUBAR, severely understaffed and lagging. Everyone is angry.

I’d be mad too, but am instead enjoying the absolutely incandescent stream of profanities coming from the redneck lady next to me. She can’t find the right person to yell at, and keeps sending her hapless husband on sorties to try to get things moving. He wanders around, holds his arms up in despair, and returns unsuccessfully to be scolded for his ineffectiveness.

"Then what was the point of sending riot police and arresting people?

The point is absolutely to intimidate the students and other protesters into not exercising their First Amendment right to speak. The whole goal of sending in riot police, of making the statements that the governor of Texas made, is to chill freedom of expression. "

I wish Biden would go on the attack instead of pulling the bipartisan card all the time. It is ludicrous and naive in my opinion to think that Republicans and Trump will step up. Subtle shaming when they don't is pointless. They don't care.

There is immense evidence and a multitude of points Dems can hammer home. For the love of humanity, PICK ONE.

I remember in 2004, when John Kerry received the Democratic nomination; specifically, I remember thinking it was all over for the Republicans. George W. Bush had dodged the draft, after all, and John Kerry was a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War.

“Democratic leaders, when they go to work, try to implement policies that help their constituents. Oligarchs and would-be oligarchs can’t do that because the policies they implement benefit the oligarchs and hurt the common people. So instead of promising to improve the lives of the people, they promise to protect them from enemies.”

    I post some heavy shit. But there's a very good reason I have so little patience with the horrible crap going on all around us:

    Solutions exist.

    All of the energy and resources being poured into endless war right now, need to be aimed instead towards projects like this.

    It is possible to rehabilitate large-scale ecosystems. Enough carbon could be sequestered this way, to actually return us to pre-Industrial levels.

    I grew up with my father, an engineer, constantly explaining in detail the short-sighted flaws in how many things are done all around us, and how it could be fixed by people willing to do things the right way.

    This is why I'm so fired up. We can do so much better than the pathetic fate we're expected to resign ourselves to. The Paris Accords don't come close. The oh-so-greenwashed infrastructure act and inflation reduction act are laughable next to the scale of what needs to be done. People who promote net zero scams and blather about tech miracles are dodging the issue and wasting our time. They think 3C increase is acceptable. They will let us burn. They are liars who want you to believe I'm trying to discourage you by pointing out the flaws in what's happening. The opposite is true.

    Solutions exist. There is hope.

    Corporate toadies of the fossil fuel industry don't want us to realize it-- nothing else is so dangerous to the tyranny of the status quo, as the realization that solutions exist. It's an enormous job, but we CAN do it if enough resources are directed the right way.

    And every little bit counts.

    Your yard, your neighbor's yard, the median, the ditch, empty lots-- anywhere. Everywhere. Build topsoil. Like our lives depend on it. They do.

    Build connections, trust, friendships. Repair things. Find people with good hearts, people who are building something real. People who talk about work like this:

    Do you consider yourself a nerd? (Definition: a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest)

    In this context I’m talking about the word in its positive meaning, it can be tech, board games, movies, etc. It’s usually if you are a problem solver, a thinker, a techie.

    They say Mastodon is a niche platform for nerds so I just want to see the numbers. Don’t let this influence your decision. If you think you’re even a slightest bit nerdy, it’s a yes. Otherwise no. Boosts appreciated.
