Cat is back from the vet. It only took 3 of us to hold her down, and I'm the only one she clawed enough to draw blood.
She survived. Casualties light.
Cat is going to the vet today. Should I warn them to put on chainmail & a fencing mask?
There is probably already a note in her file: "EVIL." They might already be praying and have an exorcist on standby.
@Siphonay I don't know. There's a rabbit that taunts my indoor cat by lounging about munching directly under my office window. Drives the cat nuts -- she frantically claws at the glass.
The rabbit is unperturbed.
@masklayer Plot the trend as a linear function and figure out how late you could leave and arrive at work before you left.
Why does any publication pay JESSE FUCKING SINGAL to write about transgender issues?
Donald Trump approached within 240 miles of me. Can I get a restraining order?

This Saturday, at noon central time, I'll be in a conversation about body plans and how they can inform our science-fictiony speculations about aliens.

Is anyone still having any reservations about calling America what it is? The fascist states.

Wouldn't drugging our drinking water be a more efficient way for the police to pacify the populace?
Go to a trade or business school if you want safe ideas. Go to a university if you're unafraid of dangerous ideas that will expand your mind.

Oh, no. We NEVER separated kids from their parents before.
Cue shocked but unsurprised looks from Indian and Black families everywhere.
On the same topic as @pzmyers "not even a wire monkey" post, I (very briefly) discuss the American Academy of Pediatrics opposition to the Trump policy of isolating migrating children at the border, even when they and their families arrive legally and use the legal procedure for requesting asylum - meaning they've broken no US law.
No surprise, but PZ and I both took note of Trump's "no hugs for toddlers" rule.
