Last night we were "accosted" by the Cat Distribution System™ and now we have two beautiful girls to fill the holes left by Nick and Humphrey. (Names pending until they choose to to divulge them.)

Deporting people to Iran right now, as body bags line the street, is an immoral, inhumane, and unjust act. That ICE is still considering carrying out the flight this weekend is a sign of an agency and an administration totally divorced from basic human rights. www.ms.now/news/trump-d...

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

I am not well. I haven't been well for a very long time, but I've tried to mask the worst of it for the people around me. The battle inside me has been between giving in to despair and forgiving myself. But neither one seems to be winning.

For some reason, turning 60 seems to have ramped up my depression over people who drifted out of my life over the last several years. Seeing their posts or even just hearing their names hurts.

Our PMRP 20th anniversary shirts shirts have arrived! There's still 14 days to pick something up from the store - www.zazzle.com/store/ihasst... - and have your donation amount MATCHED! (Still working on more stuff. It's Red Shift merch at the moment!)

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

So, apparently Zazzle hiccups when you use a redirected URL (such as you get from TinyURL), so people are being directed to Zazzle's main page. This link will take you directly to the product page: www.zazzle.com/store/ihasst...

TL;DR: tinyurl.com/PMRP-20thAnn... I've written a letter to members/alumni of the live radio drama troupe I co-founded, The Post-Meridian Radio Players, regarding their 20th Anniversary today. A couple of pullouts:

The Age of the Oramge Kitties in our lives has ended. Nicholas told us he was ready to go so, today, we took him to our vet, said good-bye, and let him go to be reunited with his brother. His echoes are everywhere in this empty house and that he was purring at the very end has wrecked me.

For those of you who didn't know know, back in the mid-90s, "Doctor Who" book author Jonathan Blum made a DW fan video called "Time Rift". I was invited to score this film and now, almost 30 years later, it's up on Bandcamp as a digital album, available for FREE! tinyurl.com/TimeRiftOST

I'm afraid I haven't gotten into the habit of updating on BSky. I'm kind of overwhelmed these days. Speaking of which... On Tuesday I go into the hospital for abdominal surgery and I'll be there for 5-7 days, and then 6-8 weeks recovery at home.

My list of five things I did this week, courtesy of a friend in the UK: 1. Applied to be the next Dr Who 2. Repainted my TARDIS red 3. Beamed in and out of Fort Knox 4. Stashed gold in empty apartment next door 5. Bought cheese for wife

I want to make more of a presence on Bluesky, but it's very difficult when only about 5% of the people I want to keep in touch with are here. But I'll keep trying. Kitty for algorithmic tax.

Never more appropriate than now.

As I understand, in case no one has thought about it, that in light of Trump's EOs, the ADA is *not* enforceable. That means the Disabled literally have no protections right now. Nor do a lot of people and communities. Let that sink in.

Anyone else seen an increase in Gmail messages going to their spam folders? Today I found nearly 10 messages from places I regularly communicate with. There was even one from a friend with whom I have exchanged hundreds of emails that had been there since Jan. 8th. Suspicious kitty is suspicious.

While I don't condone the killing of the UHC CEO, it's difficult to blame anyone who takes action to prevent further harm to others. Yet I'm also keeping, in the back of my mind, the phrase "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". 🙁

This is especially true when Black Disabled women speak. #DisabilitySky

It's really true, apparently. Is this poetic justice or what?

I’m starting to understand what it must have been like when Caligula made his horse a senator.

If you're familiar with the supernatural-horror audio drama The Mask of Inanna (www.themaskofinanna.com), Alicia E. Goranson, the producer of that miniseries, has released its spiritual successor, Brittle Tourniquet (www.brittletq.com).

It's official! Godzilla Minus One nominated for Best Visual Effects Oscar! (I have little confidence the Academy will give them the Award, but one can hope!)

How often do you see someone trash a movie that you loved, that has broken box office records, and been nominated for numerous awards, and thought "Did you even see the same film that I did?"

I'm so looking forward to this. I have my tickets for Saturday! www.rottentomatoes.com/m/godzilla_m...

I'm finally here, giving this thing a try.
