Once inspired the NYT Science Times to "try harder." Now I post about my cats on BlueSky. I used to be someone’s big sister. 📍wentrogue.bsky.social
- "How was I supposed to know that ectopic pregnancies can't be reimplanted?" asks GOP legislator who wrote the bill mandating implantation of ectopic pregnancies. "It's not like I'm a doctor or something!" radio.wosu.org/post/lawmaker-…
- In my grief stupor, I took in this medically fragile and half-toothless cat last weekend to see if he might integrate with the household. His name is Gerald and his person up and died on him a little while back, leaving him homeless.
- Replying to @Catballou and @twcuddlestonMax used to become one with the laptop. The ghost in the machine.
- My son and I are not amused
They've gone and provoked the ire of the Childless Cat Lady Caucus. Shit's about to get real. - “I am an incoming captain of my high school's cross-country team who helped bring my team to win the conference championship this fall. If I were to compete as a girl, I would still be half a minute behind the fastest girl in the state.” #LetThemPlay
- Speaking of obituaries, I love this line from one I just ran across, about a cat I never met: “Fredward was 17 years old and spent his entire life using his only brain cell to love everyone he met whether they wanted it or not.”
- Septuplets solving a mystery
- After Iowa defunded Planned Parenthood, the number of abortions in the state rose by 25% in a single year apnews.com/article/bb4a9a…
- Replying to @WentRogueNeedless to say I returned home with Gerald that very day. My spouse, who’d been in Texas for a couple of weeks, wasn’t thrilled with my unilateral decisionmaking process, and who can blame him. He has since returned home and safe to say is smitten. POV: spouse.
- Walt Straka, a 101 year old Minnesota survivor of the Bataan Death March, turned down an invitation to receive his Congressional Gold Medal in a White House ceremony: “I would have gone if Obama was still in there.”
