Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did not know Naomi Novak was astolat. I mean, I knew there was a connection, but not the specifics..

I feel weird because I was so scared of TWOP back in the day, and now with podcasts I interract with so many of the OG TWOP people, Sarah D Bunting (sars) in particular because of true crime. I actually talked to her on zoom and I was verklempt! But it is so weird to be like, I feel like I have known you for over 20 years, but I am a lurker. And also I totally understand why TWOP, which is so big, had to be really hard as against natter, but of course natter is what I am here for! But so weird tat 20 years later, my podcasts are authored by the old TWOP crew…. Including NPR and Slate.

Punishingly Intricate

I did not know Naomi Novak was astolat. 

I have no idea what this means.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

JenP, I am here to validate your perception of chipmunk cuteness! They are so stonkin' adorable it hurts.

Lol I’m so glad I misread that about Naomi Novik, I was worried it wAs another JK Rowling situation and I would have to be sad. Much relief.

Thank you, JZ! I don't think I'd ever seen one in person before. Delightful!

We are celebrating Independence Day with friends at a Brazilian steakhouse later.. Meat all around! Seems fitting.

Our wings are not tired.

Send the house sale ~ma my way. I just showed the house to a couple who are looking to move to my neighborhood to be near his parents as they have a toddler and want a bigger place. He actually found my website, perhaps the only person who ever has found it. The house isn't listed but he reached out to me to see if I was interested in selling. They seemed to like everything and really no other house has quite the location mine does for little kids since I am on a park with a great playground. Anyway, it would be really ideal to sell it without having to list it and have showing and all that.

Now that they are gone I am packing packing packing so I can get out of here in the morning.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy 4th to the US Buffistas! No plans here, other than watching A Capitol Fourth on tv.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Had my friends from Reston over for brunch. So nice to be able to have people over. They are headed back now and I’m doing laundry and some more outside stuff that is in the shade.
