Cat~ma to the ailing kitties.

Seconded.

Thanks for all of the congratulations.

So, today is the anniversary of when Grace came home permanently. It's been 4 years which feels like forever.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Anniversary, Grace--and family!

I hope the drama settles, sarameg.

Six miles is great, -t! Actually, it's exhausting for me to think about, but yay, you!

Best thoughts to the ill kitties, and their humans.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Happy Grace-a-versary! Also sending positive vibes to kitties.

Juliana, Seamus was diagnosed with diabetes this year, and I've found treating it to be easy--and it's SO awesome to watch how healthy and happy he is now.

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

There are a lot of heroes in the room.

I count Grace as one of them.

You know how people don't really understand your job? Try explaining one that involves this work product:

Sensing violence: An ethnography of mixed martial arts
This article describes the sensory experiences of fighting through an ethnography of mixed martial arts (MMA). MMA is an emergent sport where competitors in a ring or cage utilize strikes (punches, kicks, elbows, and knees) as well as submission techniques to defeat opponents. This sensory ethnography involves, inter alia, the documentation of the rhythms pertaining to the cadence of drills, the flow of sparring and grappling sessions, the attunement of bodies to other bodies through touch, the beat of music accompanying training sessions, the smell of sweat and flatulence, and the throbbing pain that is registered through taste. This article relies on 45 in-depth interviews with mixed martial art fighters and participant observation over a four-year period.

Operation Pedicure is about to get underway. To be immediately followed by Project Lie in the Sun Reading Magazines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! I need a pedicure. Maybe I'll do that next. I got some containers and plants, did that, and am now listening to what I assume is Porchfest on the next block over. Good times.

-t, note that I basically never watch Nova, but I really enjoy the click bait titles. Or whatever the tv listing version is.
