I'm digging the flowers in the batted vase!

Ohhhhhhh. That would be AMAZING!

Kanopy has a 4K restoration of Caligari and now I kinda really want a 4K TV.

It's not *completely* forgetting as much as failing to prioritize. 😆

It's interesting to see more people coming to grips with the problem of "The police are doing and protecting shitty things" and "Our officers did not violate department policy."

Mmhmm.

I make little plans when I have to leave my usual seat at my dining-room table. Three or four things to do while I'm up and puttering about.

I know I'm in my late 40s because the first thing on the list these days is usually, "Pee."

Also, this is what it would look like if @fumblebee.bsky.social had three.

The two kittens trying to meld together! 🥹

Late for caturday, but it's Snack Pack photo time.

Ruffles (tabby kitten with white stockings and face) curled up on a white blanket.

Cheeto and Ruffles sprawled together on a white blanket. The nose of a teddy bear is in the top right of the image.

Frito, a tabby kitten with white forelegs and shoulders and a white blaze and cheeks, stares fixedly to the right while being petted. A laptop keyboard is visible behind him. There is the sense he is about to spin and pounce on something offscreen.

I honestly don't know why I watched that, but the word "bijective" sounds a bit like you can hit someone twice with the same spit gob, and that's fun.

“The demonstration in the capital, Antananarivo, was one of the largest since the protest movement erupted on September 25, sparked by anger over power and water shortages.”

"That the average Massachusetts girl is not impressionable has long been asserted. This proves it."

The Longton Gleaner
September 29, 1911

A Massachusetts girl in a fall
wrecked five glass floors in a public
library building, landed on a marble
floor in the basement and then walked
away. That the average Massachu-
setts girl is not impressionable has
long been asserted. This proves it.

I've been sitting here being melancholy between games and scrolling and it's just kinda like, "Oh. That was a good idea. This is dreadful. I don't think I could attempt that now. I gave her different cats! That seems very mean."

I'm gonna make coffee. Should I watch The Cabinet of Dr Caligari? 🤔

I used to think about writing a bunch of poems from the point of view of a woman who wakes up basically in the wrong timeline. It seemed like a good way to write about homesickness and grief and disorientation and loneliness.

I think I took a stab at exactly two poems.

This is much funnier to me than it has any business being.

I remember a couple. I had a Star Wars one at some point. I thought it was really cool and then I realized I messed up: Star Wars lumchboxes were for boys.

How're you feeling, @jillbles.bsky.social ?

If I didn't mark my 10 p.m. meds as taken in the app on my phone, I wonder how many times I'd take them. 7 p.m. meds take longer to put together, so I can't entirely forget, but I have sometimes forgotten taking 10 p.m. meds pretty much immediately.

Once again: I meant to do something, then I thought of the above, and now I have no idea what I meant to do or what I should do now.

Sarah LR @kerendith.bsky.social · 17h

Wow. I just got shunted straight into the memories of getting marked extra weird in other kids' heads when I was 7ish 'cause of my little lunch containers from Japan. Nothing like a bento box or anything. They just had little characters similar to Hello Kitty or something.

Anyway.

Sigh.

I was starting to worry since you hadn't mentioned them! Yaaaay! Oh my gosh. They must be so big now! "Kids, this is where we get crumchies."

Sarah LR @kerendith.bsky.social · 18h

Hahaha! The IDEA!

Sarah LR @kerendith.bsky.social · 22h

Oooooh! That is *great*!

Holy shit. I'd've guessed she was quite a bit younger, but STILL.
