Got a pizza with black olives, mushrooms, and red onions with vegan cheese on a thin crust. (Would love to know what cheese they used, because it was actually melty and gooey).

The cats sat begging. Chonky especially loves pizza and will get into a box and steal some if I leave it unguarded.

Y'all. The disappointment was palpable.

Like, it didn't even get much of a sniff.

I was trying to figure out why my cats are staring at the door.
Then I realized the show I'm watching has repeated sounds of knocking on a door.

Finally watched Monkey Man, Dev Patel's Indian action movie. It's excellent. Well paced. Beautifully shot. Great fights. The violence is more intense and bloody than I prefer, but it suits the intensity of the story.

But this isn't a mindless action movie. It deals with the corrupt police and fascist government of India. It includes a community of hijras (traditional trans women). It's political messages nearly got it buried.

Ok. I've got an extra month before I have to be out of my current apartment. So I will be moving in January, and don't have to do it over the holidays.
I could take February, too, but now that I've started getting things in motion, I want to get it done.

It seems to me that this rash of voter fraud popping up in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Michigan are meaningful attempts to sow doubt about voting and that they are being used as a future catalyst to incite protest and ultimately unrest for MAGA to use.

Stay vigilant. Track your vote. Drop it off at a secure ballot collection site if possible. These are not mere happenings in my opinion. MAGA is not afraid to do whatever they can to get their way.

"An endorsement of Harris had been drafted by Post editorial page staffers but had yet to be published, according to two people who were briefed on the sequence of events and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The decision to no longer publish presidential endorsements was made by The Post’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to four people who were briefed on the decision."

I'll have to see if I can get time off work in early December to fly out, look at places, and secure a lease. Then I'll be loading the POD or truck and meeting the cat transporter December 30, flying back up, and meeting them when they arrive.

Which means a few days with no furniture.

Sigh.

I hate the logistics of moving.

The most difficult part of this move is going to be moving the cats.

Flying them would be a hassle, because of the requirements. A lot to coordinate.

Paying a pet transport service will be expensive.

(I don't drive, so taking them myself isn't an option.)

Most likely, for moving my stuff, I'm going to use PODS and pay people to load/unload.

Anxiety and depression are not modern illnesses of the privileged. The only thing new is that we now recognize them. And the privilege enters in having the resources and time to have them diagnosed and treated.

Agent Orange Awareness Month is a time to honor those who were affected by Agent Orange, a toxic chemical used by the US military during the Vietnam War. The month serves as a reminder of the ongoing health issues faced by veterans and civilians exposed to Agent Orange, and the need for continued support and advocacy.
