He was just a cat, but he was my friend, my companion during good times and bad, always up to join me for a cigar and purr louder than I thought a cat should be able to. I’m so grateful he came to spend his last three-and-a-half years with us, but I miss him so much.

When #Bach composed "Air on the G String," I wonder if he knew how funny that name would be when translated into English.

A pardon for someone adjacent to child trafficking. Interesting, right? It’s almost as if he’s working up to something.

I've discovered a new #MandelaEffect. I am 100% positive that "Jealous" by #GeneLovesJezebel was a hit song, yet I seem unable to find anyone else who remembers it.

I wonder if the finger-waggers are, now, reflecting on their *own* intent versus their *own* impact.

Advice to #universities deciding whether to lose federal funding by not signing the #Compact or lose state funding by signing it:

Whenever you aren't sure what to do, ignore the consequences and do what you know is right.

When they started recruiting a bunch of #incels from the internet to be #ICE agents, it became inevitable that they would detain a US citizen because she is Hispanic but took her husband's non-Hispanic last name and they thought her identification was fake.

I do not advocate violence, but I *do* advocate whooping transphobes at #chess. This one only lasted seventeen moves with me. This is an open challenge to all transphobes, right-wingers, incels, Cult45ers, and DeSantisistas that I am *not* afraid to settle our differences on the chess board!
