Oh the humanities...

A bit wild to me that my father and my aunt fighting the culture wars has escalated to me doing book reports on banned books for them. I feel like this would warrant blogging in another time period.

Elana Arnold's What Girls Are Made Of was a tough read, was definitely sexually graphic (in a literary way) and the author's note really drove home the experience of the book. I'm not sure who I'd recommend it to but am glad to have read it, even if BookLooks was sad it exists. #Books #Bookstodon

“I’m done with true crime. White people can find someone else’s trauma to listen to while they use an elliptical at 5 AM on a Saturday morning.”

Sometimes your the pillow, other time, the kitten.

Max hates other cats

He hates them coming into his territory, gets upset when he sees one out the window

So when we rescued Molly, we introduced them SLOWLY

First 2 weeks, she was in her own room. We put things that smelled of her in his favourite places

Then we let them eat treats on either side of a doorway covered with a scarf. They saw each other briefly

Then short times together, slowly getting longer

It worked. Now he tolerates her

And she LOVES him

Sometimes I feel like a competent, professional, 40-something, and then I have to look up formal business letter formatting because I use it less than once a year and feel like a child.

Why are End Citizens United fundraising emails indistinguishable from Trump ones in style and tactic?

Grammarly left fingerprints all over the email headers and yet the red-letter call to action is missing "survey" making it word salad.

ECU's privacy policy email address responded to my CCPA do not sell/unsubscribe request with an automated message saying they don't respond to their emails due to a high volume of mail.
