Whoa. Hello new followers!

I post about my cats, rescue kittens, knit, quilt, and sometimes write books.

I require tea in vast quantities to maintain equilibrium and always choose violence. I use the word “fuck” in all of its many forms judiciously and with extreme prejudice. Rage is my default.

My overseas friends expressed concerns about what that fuckwit would do if elected again, and I just shrugged and said, “If the dipshits put that man back in power knowing what will happen, we will deserve every consequence.”

They knew, and they were warned. They did not care.
The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance.

Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke.

The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.
This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate.

The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Can the media please stop using the word “skeptic” to describe cult members and science deniers?
My mom had polio when she was five. She was living on a US military base in Japan (1947). Four kids on the base died. She was the only survivor.
“On Thursday, Mr. Gorton said that “the success of the polio vaccine was a massive medical fraud” and that widespread vaccination was a “public health disaster.” He received a standing ovation…

Mr. Kennedy spoke next, linking arms with the group even as measles cases continue to rise”

BREAKING NEWS: New cat species just dropped! 🧪

What is a tilcayo, exactly?

Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat...

The House voted 417-3 to require data centers to cover the full cost of the power lines and plants built to serve them. Utilities have been spreading that buildout across household electric bills, and this makes the biggest new customers pay their own way.
