California’s Central Valley. Sometimes I tell stories. She/her.
If Oscar Isaac weren't already awesome enough, he understands and appreciates the meaning & purpose of the details of his #Frankenstein costumes.

Having become annoyed with American pfeffernusse recipes, I realized that my German, while rudimentary, is sufficient for reading a recipe (I just can't read the 83 paragraphs of SEO verbiage before it).

Everyone's Oma made them differently. The only point of agreement is honey, not molasses.

Carol's grandparents have taken over her dining table to make protest signs. They very much want Chuck Schumer "out" as Senate Minority Leader, due to his lack of backbone. Thus the slogan: "Schumer is not fit to lead / Sells us out to watch us bleed."

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Can't stop thinking about the gorgeous fever-dream that is Guilermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

WHERE Victor gets his funding is a good touch to point forward to the realization that in today's world, Victor would still be an awful person, but he'd be treated as a rockstar "disruptor" like Theranos.

Yesterday's adventures included a trek through fog to an estate sale in rural Madera County, dripping in mist and silence, only interrupted by workers in high-viz jackets trying to get people to buy at stupidly high prices.

THE BALLAD OF SANDWICH MAN

This is the taLE of Sandwich Man,
Whose aim was straight and true,
Who fought for his home with deli meats
As any man should do.

Border Patrolman Lairmore
Wore armor thick snd strong
When he felt the sting of a whole wheat roll
He shouted, “This is wrong!!

I found a rare photo of Parsley's likely kitty-daddy (right, the short-haired cat), and yep, they really do look alike. They have the same passive resistance to being carried, same fur texture, and same obsession with reflections. We never figured out Mr Smiley's origins or home.

In 6 months we'll get stories about 3 people who actually left NYC after Mamdani won and they'll say shit like "I couldn't bear to see my city destroyed" and then it will turn out they lived there for 9 months but had no friends so they went back to their parents' 2nd home in suburban St. Louis

Yesterday I let too many on the right steal my joy about the sweeping Democratic victories. Today, I'm taking back my joy and spreading joy. I've watched some cool interviews lately:

1) The Magnificent Others: Steve Vai

2) The Magnificent Others: John 5

3) Rick Beato: Neal Schon

All on YouTube.

🎶but I'm not a bad bitch
and this isn't savage
took damage from a sandwich
gonna need a big bandage

now I smell like cabbage
I'm covered with garnish
my image has been ravaged
reputation is tarnished🎵

Look I don’t get any food aid from the govt, never have, but if a grocery offered discounts to people who had lost SNAP? Not only would I NOT feel cheated in some way, I’d be more likely to shop there, on the grounds of “at least they have some human decency”

I think that ban is wrong.

The Official Spokescat is annoyed that I keep showing him my feed and exclaiming “here’s a cat who looks just like you!”

In my defense, there are a lot of brown fluffy tabbies out there.

It’s still morning here in California, so one last chance to admire lavish #halloween displays. #skeletons

An important part of the reason for the FALSE portrayal that people who get SNAP don’t work is so that people don’t realize the problem is the companies who don’t pay a living wage.

Parsley and her Unka Spokescat are playing hide-and-seek in the guest room/my office. Being cats, they believe if they can't see you, you can't see them.

So there's Unka Spokescat's entire body sticking out from behind the door, while Parsley runs at him and taps his butt.

Be otherwise advised there's a woman at the Hampton Tolls in NH wearing a tshirt emblazoned with chocolate chip cookies. "I'm a Tollhouse Cookie," she told me. #HappyHalloween

Spotting this car in traffic was an A-Ha moment.

This is the face of a cat who’s been begging nonstop for din-din since an hour after breakfast. Now that it’s his correct feeding time, I almost don’t want to encourage his belief that his begging is what gets him fed.

Parsley in her pillow fort. Guys are here to fix the HVAC, so the little cat needs a defensible position.
