Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yay new kitty!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

KITTY!

Ken shared this: "Today at our meeting our medical director told us to just move all of the emails from the OPM into a folder and ignore them. Union membership is climbing."

I got bangs!

brenda, I think my mental image of you has bangs. So how old is that?

I went and got my hair shorter than ever before, which is nice in a lot of ways, but I haven't figured out what to do with it. I feel like it could be 20s bob, but right now it's more suburban super-organized young mom. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not me.

I realize I'm finally ready to be experimental with my hair, but my idea of what that means dates from what the cool kids had... in the early '90s.

Nice. Go Ken and Ken’s Director.

My company is not shutting down any DEI programs or mission, but we did hear from our business CEO that they may have to look about how we talk about it. (I.e. the sneaky language that the OPM warned about.) I’m very much hoping that holds.

information libertarian

Today I helped my coworker through a meltdown including talking her out of buying a gun to defend her family in some kind of walking dead scenario by pointing out that a gun in the house is more likely to be used for suicide, and listened to my father urge me to tell Mr. Flea to take this “buyout” offer (which seems pretty sketch so far.)

I did get ice cream when I got home.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Nutria sound like water-rabbits, frankly.

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

These end of day executive orders and memos are fucking annoying. So now public schools. Fuck all of them.

More and more he sounds like Hitler in his bunker.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nutria are basically rats.

It's been a long couple of days, and it's hard to feel anything but depressed and powerless.

Our wings are not tired.

Apparently, Florida has nutria, but I don't think I have seen any. (maybe my cats saw them first?)

Kitty! Barkley sounds like an absolute delight!

Today, I got the all-clear from the eye doctor to swim, go to the beach, bend over, or do all the other previously restricted activities. So I am watching TV. Well, tomorrow is another day.
