Thanks to everyone here for making my feed today the exact right mix of commiseration, compassion, and cat pictures.
In return, here is Sean being adorable at my feet, with his little paw thrown over his eyes.

Anyone running a company with US employees who says they're committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace had damn well be drafting a statement to their employees reaffirming that commitment, and denouncing the actions of this shit-assed administration.

I just got a push notification using "subdued" and "Trump" in the same sentence. WTF, journalism?

Oh, and I know all y'all who follow me are smart folks and already know this - but remember, just because someone isn't posting about [insert horror here] - it doesn't mean they are unaware of it, or don't care about it.
We all have to stay sane and it's going to look different for everyone.
If there is one thing I can say about folks here I follow, it's that they do deeply care about their fellow humans on this planet, even if they're not posting about it.

Snack time!

Made up a batch of cheesy ranch bacon dip - great satisfying comfort snack, and very easy.
1 pint sour cream
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup bacon pieces
Mix it all up, chill in fridge for about an hour, and enjoy with chips, veggies, or hell, grab a spoon and go to town.
I always put in more cheese & bacon.
If you’re abstaining from pork or meat as a whole, you could substitute turkey or plant-based bacon.

Cat talk time!!
I've gotta brag on how polite & smart my furry boys are.
They SO very nicely sit and wait while I'm getting their wet food ready, and Jorge has learned to follow me to the living room for his food. (They have to be a little separated for wet food time, otherwise Sean will ignore his special food and eat Jorge's.)
And I almost got you a Jorge shot, but as soon as I picked up the phone, he moved, and when I tried to follow him, he decided it was a game of chase, LOL.

T anyone and everyone:
If you need to block/mute/whatever certain terms, names, hashtags today or for the next four years? Do it.
If you need to turn off the TV, radio, laptop, phone, push notifications? Do it.
Anything critical you need to know will find it's way to you, regardless of whether or not you're watching the firehose of news. And I sure as hell won't judge you for it.

Alright, here we fucking go.
Got up, took my meds, Sean got his meds, I have coffee, ESPN is on TV, and I've already written my reps today.
If you're more comfortable with written comms than phone calls when trying to communicate with your reps, I heartily recommend ResistBot. You can access it via Text to 50409, Apple Messages, Messenger, Instagram, and Telegram.

On the off chance any governmental member of Denmark is around and sees this:
Tell Trump to go fuck himself, and get the rest of NATO to say the same for threatening an ally.
Hell, cease exports of the butter cookies if you have to.

I'm probably not in a majority here, but setting aside all the so-called reasons for the TikTok ban in the first place, I feel like ByteDance fucked up.
They're going to be beholden to Trump, which is never a good thing, and even if they don't personally piss him off, they're still subject to his whims about China and anything else.
I would have taken the L, gone dark, and never had to deal with Trump again.

Was poking around the computer today and rediscovered a couple cross stitch bookmark patterns I made a while back.
Put them on ko-fi for free for anyone feeling crafty. Or who just likes to collect cross-stitch patterns, LOL.
