There must be NO agreement for GOP vaporware promises.

Have we learned nothing from Charles Schulz?

Looking at the footage of Trump standing like his batteries just died at the "health" press conference, & I think I see the problem.

Miller was holding the legs of the guy who fainted, & apparently dropped Trump's remote control.

The electronics are more miniaturized these days, of course.

Found something yellow to wear to No Kings (don't usually shop at Walmart, but ...).

I regret to inform you that commands like these are still ignored even after they've grown up.

This is the look you get.

Back in March I had contact cards printed to give people at protests & other locations. Originally the image was going to be a cat sitting on books, but I was in more a badger mood than a cat, and @tkingfisher.com was kind enough to give me permission to use her drawing. 1/

For future reference, you might consider installing one of these in open windows to keep them from going through the regular screens. They're inexpensive

I hope they're home soon!

Murphy is all worn out after helping make the bed.

Group of protesters in front of a church at the Collingswood NJ No Kings protest. Organizers estimate 5,000, which I think is pretty good for so close to Philadelphia.

Cat was boarded over holiday weekend (staff *loved* him!), but looks like I'm forgiven.

Here's the ones from 4/5 remounted for 4/19 in place of last week's Tesla signs.

He's adorable. Mine is currently hanging out behind me hoping it will warm up enough that I'll open a window for him.

For us it was usually an actual mouse.

I'm getting business cards to give folks for contact info. I was thinking of using a cat sitting on books, but now I'm thinking about licensing the war badger image from @tkingfisher.com as more in keeping with my mood for the next four years.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I found my pic from London:

So I was looking into maybe booking a hotel near DC for the Women's March on 1/18. Prices are all over the map, mostly out of my price range. But in skimming down the list, one hotel's price caught my eye.

$666. Really.

Maybe they've fixed it, since I got the AI Overview anyway. 😕

Murphy is the first cat I've ever lived with who has no interest in human food. It still feels weird to eat without cat fussing.
