Actual conversation with my very patient 18yo son last night.

Me: I'm sorry, kiddo, I'm all out of that short term, uh ...

Him: Memory.

Me: Yeah, memory. Short-term memory.

This is an absolutely satisfying result in a Texas state race between some union guy and one of the architects of the hellish and repressive social agenda that makes good-hearted people shudder at the words "school board". Read the article and rejoice in the hope that bad actors like Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott, and Ted Cruz will soon be in our rear view mirror.

It also is a stupendous first volley for the Democrats in the midterms proper.

@rufustheduck @mauvedeity Fellow tuxedo cat owner, even!

My heart cat was a tuxedo named Leroy. I have a pair of brown tabbies now whom I love endlessly, and in between was a magnificent house panther named Venus, but Leroy still has my heart. I mean, just look at him!

@hellomiakoda That's me and my cat Nibbler in physical discussion about my meds, lol. Your cat is very pretty! @dramypsyd

@jeridansky This is so chaotic! Six French horns and one trumpet? What is going on. 🤯

@jeridansky My favorite Phil Ochs line, for some reason, is "And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, the sand is burning" to start the great "The Marines Have Landed on the Shores of Santo Domingo".

Or maybe "Welcome to California, where the friendly farmer will take care of you" from "Bracero". God, he was such a talent. What a voice, what a mind.

I'm so in love with my cat that I saw she had peed in the litter box and was overcome by affection just thinking about her. #TheLadyCatherine #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington #CatsOfMastodon

To be fair, this is the cat in question:

Even if Meduro is a criminal, it's bullshit to invade Venezuela and randomly bomb the capital to grab him.

I do hope Melania is noting that, when a country decided to just go grab the head of an allegedly criminal regime, they took the wife, too.

My beautiful queen Venus, who loved to sleep on me. We got her when she was 13, and she lived to about 20. Look at that panther face, heart nose, and white whiskers. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #catstodon #BlackCats

Oh wow, I just found out a YouTube doctor mentioned my latest diagnosis, IIH, in a video. It's the first of five conditions in a YT short, but it is acknowledged. Neat. I have something to send my friends. #IIH #IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension #ChronicIllness

@skinnylatte I have never even seen an IKEA 🤷🏻♀️

U.S. urban storefronts aren't great.

Man, everyone just needs to abandon that garbage heap.

@skinnylatte It's all so sad. If and only if you have good insurance, actually having a baby can be OK. Our son spent a week in the NICU, and we still only paid something like $250. But I did have to leave my state job to keep him, because state furloughs were too unpredictable and I needed every hour. If we didn't have my husband's parents to rely on in crises, though, we'd have been in trouble a few times. I know how lucky we were, but I still didn't want to try for a second child, even though I really, *really* wanted another.

Pets are sometimes even harder, because even good insurance doesn't cover everything you might need. I don't know how to make it better. I'm sorry. Everyone deserves a pet if they want one, and all pets deserve a home. 🥺

This is a great list of fedi greeting card designers. #stationery #papermaking

@skinnylatte I love how she leans against you whenever she's not actually on you. She found her person and is sticking to you. 😽

@skinnylatte Woah, that sea lion has a mane! Is that usual? Is that how they were named? I have only seen wet sea lions, which seem mostly slick.

When I was in high school, you could buy casual tailcoats off the rack. I can't remember for sure if they were women's, but possibly. I wish that would come back. I love tailcoats. #fashion #tailcoats #LadiesAndGentlemen #androgyny

@kaia It might have fit when he bought it?
