I have opinions and know stuff. Minneapolis enby witch with a pain disorder and cats. Part of the local sky cult. In my previous life I was a forensic psychologist, re: child sexual abuse. Now I garden and spread love to counteract my inner angst.
Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The meeting of the cats did not really go great. I accidentally left the door open, and the old man wandered in while the visitor was in hiding. She came out to say hi, and he yowled because he was not expecting that. I carried a yowling cat statue out of the room. 😆
Cats be catting.

Anyone else like a good, plain salty chip or pretzel?
No dip, just the taste of the chip and salt.

Worth watching not just because it's fun. The Frey admin choosing to implement the budget priorities of their friends over their foes is not how the council's power of the purse is supposed to work.

Ani DiFranco's Reveling/Reckoning was really mind-blowing for me. Maybe it was the time in my life, or maybe it was the era, but I immersed myself in those songs. I'd chose which one to listen to depending on the mood. My handle "silentmachine" comes from Garden of Simple off that album.
