  • Keep working on it until you can coax her into either stepping inside or into an easily enclosable space, then to vet for a chip scan.

    Best case scenario is that she belongs to someone who misses their baby girl.

    Second best case is no chip or previous owner super-sucks and therefore - you get a new buddy.

    We invited an abandoned gray girl in for wet food one day and she never left. Starting on her first night, she’d wake me up in the wee hours giving me tiny kisses on my eyelids, cheeks, forehead, or tip of my nose. We still have her 12 years later and she is the sweetest cat ever. Don’t fuck with her though - she will cut you 🤣





  • In the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.

    Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.

    “Hooray”

    (fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)









  • lol I would want to punch that person, too

    In this case, her expectation was that she receive whole paragraphs (with positivity if possible) for comments on her slide deck, rather than a short comment with my suggestion to make stuff better.

    She’s the dumbass who asked a technical editor to review her stuff 🤷‍♀️ 😀 😀

    (and before anyone points out my grammatical/punctuation errors above: it’s early and idgaf)
