I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sadly I feel like I need to save my despair days for darker times upcoming.

Yeah. That is the feeling.

Mostly I'm just very very angry and ready to argue with idiots on the Internet. Grrrrr.

This is exactly why the Capybara Intervention was invented for. Whenever I see friends trying to reason with stupidity/bad faith folks for too long in a way that harms them and their environment, I politely ask them to post a cute picture of an animal to cleanse the timeline.
Also, hiiiii. Sorry for the radio silence. It takes so much time and energy to fight the bad faith actors here, that I absolutely neglected this wonderful space. My bad. So belated happy birthdays, various~mas and ooof, I'm sorry for all of you. I miss you and hope that you take good care of yourselves.
And yeah, the time to double down on community building/maintaining efforts is now. It takes so much more time and effort just to keep whatever little you have once you've entered the stupid-less-democratic-timeline.

Shir, so good to see you. Have been thinking about you.
Doggo has another UTI, we're 99% sure. Took her in for a culture yesterday. Asked to start her on antibios today instead of waiting for results, poor noodle. We'll see. It's her third since September. Apparently more susceptible because of Cushing's.

Well, it looks like our robot overlords are upon us (having defeated a feline overlord)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
For those not on FB - Dylan got his driver's license yesterday and just now drove himself to school to take his senior photos. He needed a little guidance backing out of the driveway (it's a weird shape and is actually quite tricky without a lot of practice) but turned safely onto Rt 9 and I haven't heard a loud crunching sound or gotten a panicky phone call so fingers crossed it seems all is well!

That's just one battle Toddson, the war is far from over.

Wow to Dylan driving!

I'm very angry and not at all ready to argue with anyone which is pretty frustrating. But that is how anger takes me a lot of the time, so it's a familiar sort of frustration. Capybaras sound like a good alternative at the moment.
