It is also the perfect size to fit my cats (voids!), but they have declined to wear it

Did an LLM write this copy?

(This morning’s sledgehammer was not involved in the making of this fascinator)

I made a fascinator for Halloween.

A small witch hat made of black felt. It has a purple band and spider webs embroidered on it in light gray and silver thread. It is about 4 inches tall.

The same small witch hat as in picture #1, but with my hand picking it up for scale. It is about the size of my palm.

I bought a sledgehammer this morning. Ask me anything

Room 3: It’s an unfamiliar room filled with furniture. My glasses have just been knocked off my face and I don’t know where they went. 3/3

Room 2: I’m driving a manual transmission car. Every road is uphill with a stop sign at every block. There is a line of cars behind me. 2/3

Room 1: I’m in the middle of the room in bare feet. There is a layer of Lego covering the floor. I have to pee very badly and there is a bathroom in the next room. 1/3

I have, in fact, been to Keene! My kid spent a number of years across the river in Brattleboro. The Toyota Brattleboro would probably be a big wheel cargo unicycle with a removable rain tent

My local Costco had Novavax, Pfizer, and two versions of Moderna.

I needed to hear this

Many things are being destroyed & the news of it is a psychological & political onslaught.

So it’s important that you create things.

It can be art, cookies, a community pantry, a garden, a mask bloc. It can be beautiful, practical, silly. Just create & share.

It’ll do your brain & the world good.

My partner says, “I love a good French dip sandwich as much as the next person, but… “

A postcard reading “You are invited to a Peace of Mind Seminar. We invite you to learn more about how planning for your final wishes may shield your family from unnecessary emotional and financial burden.” These words are superimposed on a photo of a French dip sandwich with a cup of au jus and crinkle-cut fries.

Three potentially unrelated facts:
1) I am at work
2) My underwear is falling down
3) I have a roll of packing tape

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

I once got an email thanking me for a thank you card I sent, so this request is reasonable

Thankful to be a part of the DFL team that passed Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) into law last biennium.

ERPOs aka Red Flag Laws work. They prevent suicides, homicides and mass shootings. ERPOs save lives.

Use of the year-old statute is on the rise following training. Law enforcement’s broader safety concerns about the law have not come to pass.

Okay, I was just told at the Maplewood Costco that they have Novavax but they only do walk-ins weekdays before 7:30; otherwise, we need appointments.

🐈‍⬛ Black Cat!she Creep-ah! 🎃 (Cathy Crea) @cathycrea.bsky.social · 23d

CVS appears to have Moderna and Pfizer. Walgreens too. Every Moderna I’ve gotten after the first knocked me out for 2 days, but last year’s Novavax was easy-peasy for me, so I’m hoping for a repeat.
