My brother's kitties who stay with me while he's in Ukraine came here about a year ago now. They had never seen a dog before in their lives, and we have a German Shepherd whose greatest joy in life is licking her kitties on the head (we had 2 cats already she grew up with).
Well, tonight, she got to lick one of the little ones, and she grinned like an idiot for 10 whole minutes. Hahahaha

In a thrift shop earlier today run by "Christians". I bought a little something and when dude started in with the preaching, I pointed to the sign in his front window warning off homeless folks and the other sign saying "no public restroom." Which is also to warn off homeless folks.
I told him "when you start acting like your christ, maybe I'd listen, but in the words of Ghandi,"Christians are so unlike their christ."
He just stood there kind of squeaking as I took my item and left.

As some of you know, I am a linen bedding enthusiast. Like flax linen, not the generic term for bedding. Anyway.
My favorite brand is simple & opulence. I just replaced a set I have used for 10 years as they finally became threadbare. I bought 2. One set from Amazon, the other direct from the brand itself.
The set from Amazon is, I swear to gawd about 50% the weight of the set I bought direct.
So Amazon now has the Walmart effect.

From an anthropological perspective, the entire human race would not have survived had it not been for childless members of the pack stepping in to help raise the young of the group.
Aunties and uncles and grandmothers and siblings made these groups ultimately successful although humankind nearly went extinct several times.
JD Vance is an uneducated moron.

2024-07-30 22:38:13

I need y'all to understand why the "weird" is SO EFFECTIVE with the right wing assholes.
These people have NO internal compass. They rely on their community of other fucksticks to tell them who they are. They have NO IDENTITY OUTSIDE OF THEIR DUMB LITTLE GROUPS.
So when you call them freaks or weird or whatever, rejecting the ideology of THE GROUP, they see it as a personal attack.
BECAUSE IT IS.
THIS IS INSANELY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DEFENSE.
I know this because it is my literal lived experience.

Resting today. Although that's pretty much every day while it's so hot. Still working to find someone to come install a heat pump. That is proving to be an enormous challenge. Unfortunately, this is in no way a DIY project unless we were going to to the mini splits. Which we may just end up having to do anyway.
Finding tradespeople in this state is ridiculously hard.

I explained to my brother in Kyiv that what this feels like is an orderly revolution.
The air is electric with possibility that is unique to Americans. I can't adequately explain it. Underlying all the capitalist bullshit is an undeniable spirit. Americans, at our core, believe we can do anything if we put our minds to it. Irrepressable.

Was just laughing thinking about my grandmother. She rarely left her house, but had "telephone friends" as she called them. They never left their respective houses, they never hung out or did anything together...just talked to each other on the phone.
We lived in rural Texas. We had a party line phone.
I laugh because I ALSO have "phone friends". I talk to you all...on my phone. We don't hang out or do anything together.

So apparently one of the tornadoes in Oklahoma was so bizarre and rare it spun clockwise. Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin anti-clockwise. Another tornado spun up at the same time moved over its path, and then WENT BACK over the same ground again. It moved WEST in a storm traveling EAST. These two things were happening simultaneously in a supercell thunderstorm traveling northeast.
