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.

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.

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.

This Ajvar is god-tier.

Yay! 36 layers, each brushed with butter.

BUTTER. SO MUCH BUTTER.

I was promised ajvar and slivovitsa during the planning stage of this project, but I think it's better to mess with filo dough while stone cold sober. Tomorrow's lunch/dinner is going to be delicious.

omg filo dough is troublesome...but tasty

Hot syrup action!
