Would it help if I sent one of my cats? Even at book rate (3-4 Months) Ausar shouldn't cost much.

Airholes are extra, though 🙀😹

@ATXJane @Jene_Sais_Quoi

This is sound advice, and while I don't tend to advocate the use of drugs (and ethanol is a drug), a glass of wine & a hot bath can do wonders, as well.

Engage in activities that comfort you. I...don't think this is psychologically bad advice.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi

😔

I am truly sorry, and wish there was more I could do.

If so, let me know: DM me, whatever. If I'm slow to get back to you, it's not personal, I assure you.

I am sorry I can't be more supportive at this time 😔

Frankly wondering if either of these cats have any decent trade-in value.

Would...would it be by weight or by pelt...?

While not trying to put down the work of @lilyunsub (who is awesome, BTW)...

If you're in the US or - even worse - in the - I'm personal friends with the guy behind dirtboxradio.com/ - and he's got some seriously tight stuff going. Haven't checked if Dirty Thursdays is still A Thing (he's got a very full plate IRL), but totally give their stuff a whirl. Hooligan remains a fave mixer of mine.

Yeah, that did NOT last long; they're already hassling me for their midnight snack as HEAVENS FORBID they go more than 5-6 hours without cat fewd 🙄🙀

-In the wild, P. Bengalensis hunted for food
-In captivity, they hunt for *suckers* (who will give them food)

Sorry, had to lock my account down earlier, so...reposted this.

FTR, a personal friend of mine runs dirtboxradio.com/ - if you want me to make any intros, LMK.

Following my previous post, here's a remix worth the watch/listen to 😁

OK, so...it's been a rough time for me over the last few days, so here's some decent music I found on YouTube I wished to share.

No Die Antwoord; no Andrews Sisters; no Jane Siberry or ninAHAgen; just some solid and some .

Enjoy 😉

*said in Folger's commercial voice*

We've secretly avoided waking the cats and plan to do so until midnight: let's see if they can tell the difference 😸

On the off-chance it distracts you, the Canadian author John P.J. Pinel has an excellent text book on the topics (I lost the original in the house fire; Yes, I'm on of THOSE bibliophiliac geeks who kept their original textbooks; had to repurchase this one post-fire).

Per my (now antiquated) & classes, it absolutely is.

Welcome to...being human, with a big-ass crinkly brain.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi

Take care of yourself, and if there is anything I can do, please let me know. My responses may be slow, though they're genuine. 😔

@Jene_Sais_Quoi

Please keep in mind that blast injuries are not confined to the battlefield (or blast radius) - they should be considered for any victim exposed to an explosive force. And this includes PTSD (even for those well outside the destructive radius).

PTSD is nothing to be ashamed of: for those of us who have...to put this delicately, "on the wrong side of the gun"/having been shot at...it's traumatic. There's no shame in that.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi

Yes they are. I know this.

I'm sorry you had to endure this, and even more sorry for anyone injured or killed by the blast 😔

Here's an UPDATE to the situation.

OK, by the way, the bomb went off at 12:02 AM

I was a bit rattled, so I posted the wrong time.

I literally posted one minute after it went off.

The girlfriend I called is a journalist, I had called to see if she knew anything.

anyway, they think it's gang related...

and, that is pretty much it.

I am still pretty fucking rattled.

bombs are LOUD... bombs in a city, are FUCKING LOUD

Jay boosted

OK, so an update:

I AM FINE... so is my family

at 23:20 I heard a LOUD explosion that shook my apartment and windows.

about 5 minutes later, a steady stream of first responders for about 10 minutes

I called a friend of mine who lives 5.4 kilometres away, she also heard the explosion.

We talked for a few minutes, and then hung up, she also didn't know what was going on.

Now, I hear police helicopters above.

This explosion was less than a kilometre from my home.

@Jene_Sais_Quoi

Yeah, as the gets an increasing amount of control, you can expect to see more of that. Civil War 2.0 will be one of insurgency. Not like I'm a genius for seeing that: it's super-obvious.

Think of it like being in in the early 1970s. Or in in the 70s/80s.

Fun fact: the basically invented the suicide vest. Few people seem to recall that.

Those of us who were, do.
