Compassionately intolerant

In silly, but potentially super-helpful, news...I've entered Cagney in a Petflow 'cuties pageant.'

If he wins, I can donate 500lbs of food the the New York Avenue shelter of the Humane Society, here in DC. This particular shelter does not get the big bucks and their charges are mostly unadoptable dogs and a metric ton of cats (it's litter season).

If you are of a mind to help and would rather not bother going through facebook, the direct link to his ballot is here.

He would also win a year's worth of kibble, which you know...would be really nice.

Many thanks to those who have voted already and to those who will.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Hey, DCistas!

I am having a 4th of July party at my house in College Park, and I would love to see some of you there. Said party is doubling as a birthday party for Captain America, because Avengers fandom has eaten my soul. There will be a 'happy 94th, Steve!' cake and bomb pops. 1940s dress is encouraged. Email me at my profile addy for the details.

X-posted from NoiseDesign in F2F:

We have about $585 for the F2F. According to Pix this will cover the hospitality suite and some snacks and give us about $150 towards prom. If we have prom at our house chances are the $150 will cover whatever we need. If we are having it at the hotel then we will need to pay for the room for Prom and for food and drink through the hotel. Pix should be getting an exact quote on what that cost would be tomorrow, but it will be at least a few hundred more.

For those who have LinkedIn accounts, and who may have other on-line accounts that have the same username/email and password combo...my DH made me change all my stuff and linked me to this. [link]

The comp sec sector is, in the main, treating this hack seriously and advising proactive passwords changes for LinkedIn users. Better safe than sorry.

We are almost there! I finally got in touch with the catering coordinator at the hotel, and we’ve established the food/drink minimum for one of their rooms--I’m going tomorrow to check out our two options.

With the help of some very generous Buffistas, we are now only $315 short of what we will need to cover the HS and Prom at the hotel. ND and I will kick in $100 of that as well as provide sound and BBQ food Friday night.

I’d like to book tomorrow if you all think we can raise the final couple hundred dollars. That total will include two nights of the hospitality suite, open bar at Prom for 3+ hours (I’m working out details now) and snacks. What say you? Discussion in F2F thread.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There's an opening for a senior writer/editor at my organization in the Triangle, NC. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me at my profile addy for more info. It's a pretty good organization, and much of the crazy that had my pulling my hair out last year has been resolved.

Spam time!

My friend L. and I made a video in order to win a concert in my backyard by our favourite musician, Joel Plaskett. The video is a bit silly, but it contains many adorable cats (sorry Hec) including mine. Please watch, and if you like it, please help us win by liking it on You Tube. [link]

Thanks!

(My friend L. and her boyfriend did all the heavy lifting. i.e. directing and editing.)

ETA: A vote for me is a vote for kitties!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, peeps.

For whatever random reason, I noticed that the code and CSS is bastardising the standards. Which is to say, currently the > and ] quickedits expand to illogical tags ( t cite and t dfn respectively). For the sake of everything sacred in the free world, this has to stop.

What does it have to do with you? 15 of you are going to get some weird behaviour, based on the fact that you're custom styling "cite" right now. 4 of you will get much less easy to spot weird behaviour since you're custom styling "dfn".

I will be changing t cite to t blockquote and t dfn to t span class="indent" later today. If you want to change your custom stylesheet now, just look for the line where you define cite and add blockquote thusly:

cite { formatting deets}
becomes
cite, blockquote {formatting deets}

And similarly, add .indent to your dfn definition:

dfn {stuff}
becomes
dfn, .indent {stuff}

Change should be effective as of about 5PM board time or so.

Now let me go see how badly I borked the post's formatting...
