Not just you!

If you’ve also been feeling pretty beaten up about *waves hands at the universe*, check out the rescue operation for Cat’s new dog Velveteen. Strangers came together to save this dog. It’s heart warming in the best way possible. I needed the reminder that not everything sucks.

She’s at the ferry terminal! Less than an hour before we meet our new family member!

AHHHHHHH!

I am so flabbergasted & tearful & grateful & JUST REALLY EMOTIONAL over everything that’s happened around this so-special pup since this saga started on…good god, how was it only Wednesday morning?

That it has meant as much to so many of you fills me up to the brim.

Cabi smooshed up in his desk nest

A sleeping tabby cat named Cabi is lying curled up in his bed. His head is resting on his front feet. The beans of one back paw are visible. His tail is curled in too. You have never been as cozy as he is in your entire life.

I would like to read this book.

On a light pole in Mountain View

A flat round rock is painted sky blue. Written on the rock is “Vote yes on 50”. At the bottom, below the writing, is a blue star and red, white, and blue wavy lines. The paint is a bit faded. The rock is leaning against the base of a light pole.

All my sympathies. It’s awful that their lifespans are so much shorter than ours.

At the Apple Store, my tshirt is close to the official color. I’ve helped three people so far, but haven’t been able to get any help myself. Do I get a commission for the laptop and monitor I just sold?

This sounds like the opening scene of a kid’s book.

Kagi is awesome. No ads, plus the ability to block sites from your search, means that you just get what you’re looking for. I switched earlier this year and haven’t regretted a moment of it.

@rougeforever.bsky.social The National Trust needs your expertise!

Customer feedback this week;

‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’

Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

My stomach is upset. As a native Michigander, the only possible cure for an upset stomach is Vernor’s ginger ale. I used to be able to reliably get it at a couple of Safeways in the Bay Area, but now I can’t find it anywhere nearby. I shall die of upset tummy.

Have you tried Kagi? It’s a paid product, but it does what you want it to do instead of feeding you crap.

Today is one of my favorite holidays on my calendar: Hobonichi 2026 On-Sale Day.

They are still shipping to the US from Japan. The base shipping cost is $47, plus I prepaid another $30 in tariffs. Last year’s shipping, on a much larger order, was $30, and of course there were no tariffs.

@nora.zone The little cat forgot to step on the wizard in the morning, so the charm that was sharing the wizard’s goings on has wore off. Maybe it needs some freshly ground herb?

It’s called skywater. If you dig deep in the lore of your people, you will find methods to manage it. You probably already have one in your closet. The hood on your hoodie is a vestigial structure that was used by ancient people to keep skywater from marring their eyeglasses.
