Decided to take the long way to my fave coffee shop. With my computer on my back. Turned out the long way was SIX. MILES. Oops. Only ran 3 but I'm gonna go through this tea like crazy trying to rehydrate. Fingers crossed the inspiration hits to get a little writing done before the walk home.

Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:

Ryan Coogler’s blues-steeped vampire epic “Sinners” led all films with 16 nominations for the 98th Academy Awards, setting a record for the most in Oscar history.

Stay tuned #Iran #humanrights

Recovered enough to take Kiddo the Younger out for a walk and get some more tea. Plus an unexpected Weinermobile sighting!

Was about to go for a run when I got hit with an unreasonably painful round of IBS cramps. Will be spending some quality time in bed with iced tea and a nearby bathroom.

“…And hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was a light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.” J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Lord of the Rings.”

Today is a good day.

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm

I mean seriously.

How am I supposed to get anything done today?

Plans after a long few days: finally relax and do a bit of snuggling with the cats. Reality: Give tapeworm pills to all 5 cats. Wish my blood luck as it attempts to stay inside my body.

Looking forward to scaring myself when I look in the mirror for the next 24-48 hours. WHAT'S THAT BLUE THING DOING HERE???

Realized after several months that one of my favorite coffee spots is literally around the corner from where we do cat adoptions. This cappuccino tastes like waking up super early on an icy day to deliver your brother's paper route. (Actual tasting notes: frost and newsprint). This is positive.

Stopped at a new place for coffee on our walk this morning. I liked it. Not super complex, but rich and smooth. Tasted like eating a hot mall pretzel outside The Body Shop. (actual tasting notes: low-ph aldehydes and Yuzu. With a buttery component from putting in more cream than usual).

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

My absolute favourite, though, is the name for Die Hard: With a Vengeance in Denmark, which is Die Hard: Mega Hard.

Innocent sign: eat and sip My dumb brain: eat and simp

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 will go: Uh oh. Oh no.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

Self care.

Five more phrases for when annoyed with someone: 5. You’re filling up my bag (Brazilian Portuguese) 4. You’re turning me into the big goat (Mexican Spanish) 3. You’re making my bees rise (French) 2. You’re breaking my chestnuts (Italian) 1. You’re prying open the lid of the slap-crate (Hungarian)

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Punk Hazard in a nut shell #onepiece

4 miles run without intervals. Followed by a yuzu spritz. I think I'd run twice that for this drink (though thankfully I don't have to!)

yagi-san trying to save me from art block.

I don't get much done when it's cold. I'm busy being a lap.

Carson fits, and so she sits. I can't believe this pretty girl hasn't been adopted yet.

What the inside of my air fryer looks like is between me and God

The longer you look at this the funnier it gets.

Nano hasn't been spending much time down here since we started fostering Carson, and Lucy has missed him. I tried to get their cute nose to nose greeting when he came in today. Got this instead.

I coughed extra loud and summoned a lucy.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.
