I'm going to miss social security.

I'm going to miss national parks.

If you're looking for an excellent read on this #InternationalCatDay, I highly recommend Kitty Cat Kill Sat by Argus.

It is everything the best science fiction can be.

And the main character, Lily, is everything a cat can be.

Breathtaking.

@jaunty @catlynne333 exactly.

@BrainTrust I just have zero faith in the Democratic Party and Americans at this point.

@catlynne333 what book?

The only Democrat with any chance in hell of winning against Trump is Kamala Harris.

But there's less than 100 days until early voting, and the podcast bros, pundits, journalists, and donors are going to do to her what they did to Biden and Hillary. I'm not hopeful at all.

@catlynne333 Sorry, but I'm very aware of how this all works.

@BrainTrust nope. Not happening. I'll vote for Harris (if the pundits and donors allow it) - I might text bank for her, but any Democrat who knifed Biden in the back can get by without my time, money, or vote.

@catlynne333 Americans are more racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, and homophobic than they were 8 years ago. I think Harris is the best choice. I voted for her in the primaries and was khive from the beginning, but I have no illusions about what an uphill battle Democrats now face. We're less than 100 days out from early voting.

I support Harris, but I also have zero faith in my fellow Americans.

I'm done. Yes, I still support @Vp @KamalaHarris.

But every single Democrat who failed to vocally have Biden's back over the last few weeks of manufactured bullshit is dead to me. They don't get my time, money, or vote.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst:

FYI - It usually takes about 2 months from completing the application to receive your passport unless you pay the "rush" fee:

I found these books, and their audiobook versions, to be jaw-droppingly good. I feel obligated to share, as they are utterly brilliant.

The Murderbot series by Martha Welles (audiobook version: dramatized full cast by Graphic Audio)

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman (audiobook version: Jeff Hayes)

Kitty Cat Kill Sat by Argus (audiobook version: Eva Kaminsky)

A blessed and sacred Summer Solstice, Litha, and Midsommar to all celebrating!

It's baby season! (Annual reminder: if you see a raccoon out in daylight, odds are it's a momma foraging. Raccoons aren't truly nocturnal. )

Now onto the burek!

Step one complete. Meat cooked, seasoned, and cooling off. (This is going to be so tasty!)

The classic baklava is complete! Now the hardest part - letting it settle for 6 hours before eating.
