The Lady Catherine is sad because I have stopped petting her for 10 seconds. She might die from the neglect. #CatsOfMastodon #TheLadyCatherine #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington #fedicats #AllCatsAreBeautiful

@GuyDudeman@beige.party @HG@beige.party And for Day 11, that is not bad at all. It's sad, but I bet your kids know your mom is broken and are being nice to her and ignoring her insults as best they can. You having a little quiet time with the babies afterward should help. Best wishes for an uneventful remainder of the visit.

I am exhausted and limp and overheating, but I have finally taken a SHOWER. For days, our main bathroom has been inaccessible due to mold remediation, and I wasn't up to cleaning the dead bugs out of the shower in the backhouse. Today there was a final application of chemicals, and when I came back home, the vapors had dissipated enough for me to finally spend a few minutes back there. Now I'm damp and clean and moisturized and wearing pajamas for the first time in a week. Things will really be better when we can sleep in our bed instead of on living room furniture, but this feels like a nice step. Hey disease twins, is it POTS that makes you want to puke and pass out after a shower? Because something sure does. #ChronicIllness #IIH #POTS #Fibromyalgia #migraines #DiseaseTwins

@NorcalGma2@sfba.social She is the best dog.

For the past 36 hours or so, we've had an industrial fan drying out the inside of some moldy walls, which makes hecka noise. My husband said he was going to get out of the house after work to get away from the noise - he works at a desk right next to and facing the mold corridor. He sat outside for 5 minutes, then came back in to do computer stuff and listen to music. Now, I don't want to dog my sweetheart's taste in music, but for the first 10 minutes, I thought he was trying to pick a ringtone. "I gotta get away from the noise" = "I'm going to listen to ambient that sounds like a Nokia in a spin dryer"? I love his unique outlook.

How is everyone celebrating the first annual Dolly Parton Day (9/25)? I haven't done much yet, but I'll wear my silver cowboy hat later when I'm running errands. What-all are you doing? #DollyPartonDay #DollyParton

@serge@babka.social Disgusting. I'm furious on behalf of every member of that synagogue. This should be unacceptable behavior, and the fact that it's not feels like an omen.

@NaClKnight@c.im That's good shit! I can hear his "voice" in the guitar, which is something I like to find in my rock. Thanks for the recommendation!

@gomichild@aus.social I have not mastered the spoon method. I have to just squish the pit around until it's loosened enough to come out. It's gross and I whack myself with the spoon a few times. Better than whacking myself once with a knife, but still unpleasant. Man, I freakin' HATE avocados.

@elana@babka.social Awww, just like mama. ❤️

@MLE_online@social.afront.org But thank you for reminding me why our fancy new paint and roof didn't keep the house much cooler - literally, it's not the heat, it's the humidity!

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world It's taken me years to get here, but I can really appreciate the beauty of a flat horizon now. Maybe it's the busyness of my current horizon in L.A. Great picture, beautiful sunset. ❤️

@MLE_online@social.afront.org Stupid humidity. 😫

@craig_groeschel@zeroes.ca @Edmonds_Scanner@universeodon.com Where else are you going to find rabies in the city? We need raccoons.

@alexpsmith@beige.party That was wild. I mean, not a bad strategy to get your opponent to resign, but wow.

@Wallflower@beige.party The poor baby. I'm going to be thinking about her. I hope she has a painless passing, with a full belly. 💔

@meganmariehart@mastodon.social I'm glad you're saving your voice for that, as much as it sucks to call in sick. I'm sending all the good vibes for your body to fight off the germs quickly. ❤️

@jhv@triangletoot.party Children of the Corn

@AncTreat@sunny.garden Oh, awful. I'm sorry you're facing this.

@DarthSn3ak3rs@infosec.exchange That's a wonderful experience you had with Don Cooper! I'm glad you were able to learn from him and pass the knowledge along. May his memory be a blessing.

@jared@spookykitties.com That's amazing news. Congratulations!

@davep@infosec.exchange That must be a relief. I'm glad.

@Wallflower@beige.party I'm glad you got to hear that and get that hug. They will miss you there. The company messed up. But you are now free.

@CM30@ohai.social It's the news dilemma overall, not just online. But sometimes a good story can catch fire, like the Bricks & Minifigs chicanery. My unsolicited advice, as a retired journalist: Budget a couple hours a workday to following up larger stories like this one, while reserving most of your time for the news that pays the bills. Best of luck!

@CM30@ohai.social I feel you. None of this is easy, but it's rewarding to make a career of journalism. I'm glad people like you are out there doing the work. ❤️ Super ultra best luck with the job hunt. It's rough out there.

@sashag@anarres.family Yes, that looks like your style! Very cute.

@Catawu@mastodon.social @nyhan@fediscience.org @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org It's really hard to get worked up over people losing their investment seasonal beach houses to weather. Could NPR not find a single person on the east coast who lives in a house threatened by the sea? Those are the homeowners I'd like helped.

@dec_hl@mastodon.social Here's Nibbler at the vet, looking not very repentant about scratching his favorite human, my son. Not even when the evidence of his crime is presented to his face. What a rogue. ❤️❤️❤️

@andersgeek@wehavecookies.social I'll play this for him! Thanks.

@GuillaumeRossolini@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange I love medicine that successfully tastes like a treat! My two cats just had that for the first time, and it was great. So easy.

So many mosquitoes. 😫

@crimsonbutterfly@vernissage.photos That is such a cute bird. He looks so happy!

@catmisgivings@stranger.social Thanks for this heads-up - I'm sure I'll see this soon. I already saw what I considered a bad read of some scans that were "assisted by AI." I hate this for us.

@WrenArcher@beige.party Owww

@coleens_@infosec.exchange Always bringing the apocalyptic fashion, you are. ❤️

@NaClKnight@c.im I'll listen to more of this artist for sure, but for me the classic example is Brian May. Nobody else has that sort of rounded, friendly? sound. I feel in love with him just based on that sound. Another good example is Eddie Van Halen. Sure, you can expect that the speedy, clean tone on Van Halen tracks is Eddie, but on Michael Jackson's "Beat It"? Hell yeah. Two notes in. I can't find the voice for every guitarist, though. I'll never know if that's an Eric Clapton solo, for instance. It doesn't always mean they're bad, it just means that they don't speak to me, i guess.

@mrundkvist@archaeo.social Wow, those fuchsia leaves look like flowers. They're so bright!

@nolan@microsh.art It's so much better than what I've been doing, that's so true.

@TheEddieShow@beige.party She looks so happy! 😻

@GoldenKoi@mastodon.social Why are deer the most beautiful animals? Wow. ❤️

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca I would be a lot safer on my walks if I used my walker. But the broken sidewalks and occasional lack of cut curbs are demoralizing and reduce or eliminate the benefit of the walker. The city has been fixing sidewalks, which is nice. But my will has been broken. 😕

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world Awww, sweet cuddle buddies.

@anathema_device@bne.social Maybe this was what he had in mind? "Until 2002, the church would not recognize the marriage of any divorced person whose ex-spouse was still living." ( https://www.history.com/articles/royal-family-divorce-remarry-meghan-markle-wallis-simpson ) I agree about the brother being a grifter. He's always hated Charles, I think.

@llewelly@sauropods.win The poor little guys. 💔

@TheEddieShow@beige.party Look at that dapper young man! What a ray of sunshine. ❤️

@adhdeanasl@beige.party I love this song. As far as I can tell, it's also the origin of the phrase "purple rain," which is neat. On the other hand, I've lived in Southern California for 6 + 5 years, and I've never seen alligator lizards in the air. I keep looking and hoping. 🥺

@kevingamin@twit.social Hell yeah

@dabertime@mstdn.social This is the sweetest thing I've ever read. I'm so happy for you two, to have that kind of relationship.

@deliaturner@mindly.social You'd better feed him. I think he means it.
