My friend just rescued a cat who had been in a hoarder’s house and then in a shelter’s cage for five months. Came home today.

I haven’t wanted to hug something more in my entire life than I want to hug Bob.

People are taking “fake it til you make it” waaay too far, wow. We need a new adage like “learn it until you make it” or something.
Blocked someone who told me they intended to pirate my work because they can't get it exactly where and how they want. Maybe they will, but they're an asshole to go out of their way to tell a creator that, and I'm not tolerating assholes on this site. It's easy not to be an asshole, y'all.

Dog came over to me and whined to be let outside and I said, "I can't take you out yet, there's a cat on me." She literally sighed and went to lie back down.

I say this ALL THE TIME
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Building on this, “Feeding AI” also devalues the labor of archivists, while endangering original records as well as the authenticity and reliability of the records. People do not understand that end of the work and assume we can just digitize everything. No. No we cannot.
(standing in the NARA reading room, “feeding” a raft of unpublished government documents into AI somehow, as the archivists are definitely applauding me, telling it to find the important stuff)

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I've collected his work here...

A story I found about Haiti:

In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
