My sister has rats!
They're clever, sweet, and clean.
“Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women. The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.”
Why? Because they didn’t like the leak that showed their deaths were preventable. So they think they fired the leakers. This is what happens when you try to suppress the truth.
Oh, yeah, the deaths are linked to the draconian anti abortion law.
I bet he likes the smell. Associates it with you.
Oh, that's tough. It can leave you feeling like you started on your back foot. Hopefully, however, the work culture will make it such that it's no big deal.
After posting about missing Anna, Chonky came to bed with me and cuddled all night.
It's colder weather, but it's still something he's only done a couple of times before.

'Ruby Bridges Hall was the 1st Black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana on Nov 14, 1960.
Bridges was 1 of 6 Black children in New Orleans who successfully cleared the test determining their eligibility to attend the exclusively white elementary school.
For the 1st yr, she needed federal protection every day w/ protesters at the school gates.'
1/2
'White parents withdrew their children & staff refused to teach Bridges, except for Barbara Henry from Boston. For an entire year, Henry taught Bridges alone, just the 2 of them in a classroom.
Bridges still lives in New Orleans & serves as chair of the Ruby Bridges Foundation, advocating for tolerance, respect, & diversity. she emphasizes that racism is an affliction that primarily affects adults & the importance of preventing its perpetuation thru the exploitation of children."

It's like some kind of club
Doing OK.
I've had a knot in my stomach since the election, and I miss my kitty who ran away...but I got some good writing done for work today and I've got a big pot of baked beans in the oven and I had some good cuddles with my other cat.
On the balance, a pretty good day.
Accurate
I was inspired by people talking about how terrible green bean casserole is. And I like to have a mushroom dish at Thanksgiving.
So I'm thinking mushrooms, spinach, vegan bratwurst, wheat berries, homemade mushroom soup with vegan sour cream, and topped with fried onions.
I miss my cuddle bunny.
Chonky is sweet, but Anna was always wanting to be in my lap or on my feet. Never imagined I'd miss waking up to her in my face.
Chonky seems fine Day after she ran away, he was pacing at the door, meowing. I thought he was looking for Anna, but it turned out someone had dropped a hotdog and he could smell it. If anything, he's happy to not need to compete for cuddles.
“He’s going for the trifecta of putting nakedly loyalist, unqualified people into these jobs as a way of saying to everyone in those departments, I’m in control. I run these. You’re going to do what I say. And forget the Constitution. Forget the law. Forget everything except loyalty to Donald Trump,” Nichols says.
YES. It's a loyalty test. You either go along and become complicit, or you don't and become a target.
Classic fascist play.
My sister used to work at a call center for an insurance company. Thanksgiving was the most chaotic day of the year. Lots of cooking-related accidents--and a significant portion were deep-fryer related.
