One reason I love my kings of chaos is that Leto continually wants to be picked up and cuddled. I’ve never had a cat that actively lets you know it wants up. 😻

A gift for you: If you're a parent who is regretting letting the Elf on a Shelf into your home, here is a duty reassignment order you can show to your kids that the Elf was needed elsewhere. Printable png 8X10 300dpi so it can fit well on an A4 for non North American printers.

Is there a November fest this month? Well, yes and no. No, in that everyone’s too wrapped up in the holidays to physically be here, but yes, in that we’re virtual. Welcome to “Dump Your Leftovers: Stoatsview 2025”

Meanwhile, in other news: Anticipating many people easing out of their food coma today, have done some new photos for one of @peter.petermorwood.com's favorite soups, the legendary Irish "Strong Farmer's Soup". His recipe will go up at the #MindPalate site later today. 😋

I’m in deep awe at the memory of my grandmother making Thanksgiving dinner. She would start cooking in the morning, serve dinner, have a few bites, then clean up the kitchen. I did that today & was totally exhausted at 6:30. There’s a pile of dishes, but for me, that’s tomorrow’s problem.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!
