#Cats
Having one cat who has to be coaxed to eat anything extra (there's no hiding medication in a treat, she doesn't like treats), and another who eats everything edible in the room--including salad greens, pasta, what have you--keeps one on one's toes.
(Yes, I did turn my back on the wrong cat just now, how did you guess)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/02/17/cdc-covid-isolation-vulnerable-sick-leave/
And today, the #CDC has indeed scrapped any isolation guidance for #COVID patients--which means that the CDC has decided to let the pandemic rip through the population.

Watching some "decluttering gurus" on YT, and one thing I haven't seen any of them suggest is, "try buying fewer things for a few weeks/months after a major decluttering"--instead it's all about decluttering your house several times a year.
Which.

Can't help but wonder whether now that the effects of #ClimateChange are finally being felt in Europe, actual action will happen.
Because despite millions of people having died due to climate change in Asia and Africa--longer droughts, more and stronger storms, etc--too many of the people who cause most of the pollution that heats up the atmosphere haven't felt that they actually have skin in the game, and so they shrug and go on.
Until now.

So, Rachel Maddow caught #COVID, so several stops in her book tour had to be cancelled, and she's still sick, so her show tonight is being hosted by someone else.
I remember that her wife caught COVID during the early waves, and was really really sick, and I have wondered at seeing #Maddow doing public events unmasked.
Then I remember the massive government "it's a cold if you got the vaccine" propaganda, and get angry all over again.
I hope Maddow recovers quickly and well.

#HurricaneOtis hit the Mexican coast overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, with winds intensifying something like 80mph in a couple of hours right before making land.
The Mexican government is reporting only 27 deaths--which I can almost guarantee is lowballing it for PR sake.
Meanwhile, "upstanding" "Christian" USians are posting online saying how "it's an improvement", and to not "let the rest come up here" and so forth.
I hope they all go to hell everlasting.

@npub1yse…jaay I just hate the circle jerk of shooting themselves (and authors) in the foot that publishers have had going on for the past of, three decades (since digital books became a serious thing).
Publishers could have helped all authors with good distribution at reasonable prices/fair contracts, so authors would sell more copies.
Instead we get this bullshit, and indie authors don't generally have the visibility to sell enough reasonably priced books to make a decent profit for their work.

2023-10-20 21:45:40

As a voracious reader who has a very tight budget and doesn't mind trying new authors: I wish to hell that publishers understood that they would get a lot more of my money, now and in the future, if they made first-in-series books accessible.
If you price all books in a series at $13 or more in digital, you are guaranteeing I won't be able to try, unless I remember to ask at the library.

This is an important piece.
Let us be clear: children performing sex acts with/for adult consumption are *always* sex traffic victims--because children cannot consent. Even if they say 'yes', children cannot consent to sexual acts with or at the instigation of adults. That's child sexual abuse.
But adults can, and many do, choose to earn money through sex work, and that's their right. Do not conflate.

The twitter account for #Bouchercon just posted:
"Attention Bouchercon 2023 Attendees: A small number of attendees have self reported positive tests for #COVID. If you are concerned about your exposure, please take the Covid test and any reasonable precautions to stop further spread."
I don't know what "a small number" means, but if you attended Bouchercon, please test ASAP--antivirals must be administered in the first few days after a positive/infection.

@npub1yks…rgk5 I'm going to guess it's to try to control sweating/body odor.

@npub1yks…rgk5 I love that the Swifts are using the studios own hubris to kneecap them.

PSA: #Bouchercon, #COVID
ETA: "mild allergies" my foot; it's the long-term, unseen and unfelt damage COVID does to your organs that should worry you.

@npub1yks…rgk5 a couple of weeks ago, he nuked video and images from before 2014, so yeah, lots of shit has now vanished entirely.
I asked a friend who deleted her entire feed, and she used an app that would do a fixed number of 'free' deletions per month, but now they charge, and again, only fixed number per month, which defeats the purpose. And they ended having to do a lot of manual deleting anyway.
I don't feel like paying for shit service, so nuking seems to be my remaining alternative.

@npub1yks…rgk5 for real, I'm always afraid they'll chuck something I actually need to do my job, because they don't know (or care) what I do.

@npub1yks…rgk5 so many.
And with things getting so scary otherwise (COVID, climate events, the fascists, etc), it feels...more final this time than when people abandoned boards for blogs, the blogs for social media.

@npub1yks…rgk5 Central Florida; I'm not going to bear the brunt of the storm unless is makes a SHARP right hand turn earlier than expected.
Loss of power (and with it, internet) however, is likely, because shitty private corporation.

I'll check in as I can, but if I lose power I essentially lose internet (my phone is a joke), so if I go dark, it's not necessarily bad news.
