Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

No Justins, No Peace

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

We still have time to mess this up!

You cannot shame the shameless.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Cole is on a roll !

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Everybody saw this coming.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

    I just wanted to thank folks from the other day for their kind wishes to my golden retriever Murphy. He is getting to come home from the hospital today! He has lost his sight and is pretty clumsy, and I doubt the seizure disorder will be OK in the end. But even if we only get this weekend with him, it’ll be worth it. I’ll just hold him and let him lick ice cream off a spoon. Losing our cat so suddenly and unexpectedly was hard on my boys, and they’re trying to be stoic boy teens. So I really want them to feel our care and love for Murphy, and if we have to let him go soon, I want them to understand the gift and necessity of death too as part of being pet lovers.

    That said, this dog is my 3rd baby and having to be the calm mom explainer sucks. Big time.

    In other news, … GovExec:

    The estimated cost of the Trump administration’s military parade, planned for Nov. 10 in Washington, reportedly has grown to $92 million, a 600 percent increase over the $12 million the Defense Department estimated in July.

    According to CNBC, the parade is to include as many as eight tanks, along with other armored vehicles such as the Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles and the M113 armored personnel carrier. The parade as currently conceived also would include a variety of aircraft, including helicopters, fighter jets and flyovers from historical planes.

    But there is one problem with the proposal, which has not been officially announced: the Defense Department is legally barred from using any of those vehicles in the parade.

    A provision in the fiscal 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, signed by President Trump on Monday, explicitly prohibits the use of tanks, planes or other vehicles from being used during the event.

    […]

    So this morning, after I left the local Social Security office to turn in some paperwork for the MIL, I hear a strange noise close by. I turn around to see what it was and there in an empty parking lot next door was a goat bleating at nothing as far as I can tell. I didn’t see anyone going after the poor thing. It was the oddest thing I’ve seen today.

    And that’s my goat story.

    I love goats. When I was a kid (no pun intended) we had a Swiss goat. The intention had been to get a docile Nanny who would enjoy hanging out with our horses and being a combination milk goat / cosseted childrens” pet.

    My father went alone to select the goat (big mistake) and returned instead with a crafty, saucy, gigantic neutered Billy named Charles (or “Charles de Goatte”, or “”Get down off of the oil tank, Charlie!”, or “Stop eating the neighbor’s hair!!” or “No!No!No! Not the roses!!!”)

    I used to give my Dad fits by sneaking Charlie in to the house to watch Saturday morning cartoons with me. O Mighty Isis!!!

    It’s 1 a.m. and my bags are essentially packed and ready to go. There’s a little final stuff to be done when I get up at Zero Dark Thirty to dilate and put my face on. Not sure if I’ll try to get a few hours of sleep, or whether I’ll be able to. Regardless there’s plenty of time to sleep on the plane. Six hours from Bangkok to Tokyo, a brief layover and then another 10 hours to San Francisco.

    Like most patients who can afford it, I’m flying business class. Expensive as fuck, but the seats that lay down into beds are worth every penny after genital reassignment surgery. You really, really, don’t want to be sitting for 16 hours.

    Hard my final check-up this afternoon, and Dr. Suporn pronounced me healthy and healing well. There’s some stitches are pokey and uncomfortable as they come out and can make it ouchy to walk at times, and there’s some dead skin on the inner side of my labia (which is normal and will slough off in good time). Dr. Suporn asked if I wanted to see photos from my surgery, and being the medical nerd I am, I said I did. Didn’t particularly freak me out, even though I thought it might. The clinic actually send you home with a USB drive with photos and potentially some video. Not sure I need to see that though.

    Someone asked me to summarize my experience in a word. It’s difficult because there’s some many complex emotions, but I finally settled on “intense.”

    It’s emotionally intense when you arrive, the surgery and the recovery are both physically and mentally intense. But there’s also an intense bonding that occurs with your fellow patients, especially those whose surgery dates are close to your’s, so you seem them for most of the month that you’re here.

    Sisterhood is a word that’s overrated, but it’s applicable here. We’ve shared a unique and grueling experience, and that leads to some intense bonds. Realistically, I may never see many of my new friends in person again — Dr. Suporn literally has patients from around the globe — but I do plan to keep in touch online. I suppose it’s a tiny bit like being in combat — you can talk about it to others, but it’s different with someone who’s actually been through it themselves.

    It’s a bittersweet parting of the ways.

I have some nerve damage in one arm/hand that is sensitive to too firm of a mattress and haven’t had any problems with it. They are very prompt shipping-wise, and the set-up is super easy. There is no motion transfer with another person on the bed. I’ll check back into this thread for the next day or so if you have any questions.

My Murphy is mostly Pyr, although mixed with Black Lab she’s got a tuxedo and dainty little white feetsies. But she has the shepherd’s crook in her tail, the muzzle shape, and oh wow! does she ever have the temperament. To say I feel safe with her is an understatement. She’s only 90 lbs., but she would seriously take on all comers, including bears (common around here), and the police dept snapped a photo of a Puma out the office window in the town next door. (Ridiculous). And yet… people around here let their cats loose all the damn time, and then wonder why they disappear. (Coyotes and Coydogs also common.) I forbear to point out the stupidity, but the plaintive messages make me nuts.

The quilt top consists of various stars in blues, purples, greens, and yellows (his favorite colors), and each star represents a member of the family. On the quilt backing, each block /star’s area will have info embroidered about that family member (his Mom, Dad, Grandparents, Grt Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and his two cousins): where they were born, birthday, and something that they love (or loved) to do.

    We gave his Mom and Dad two quilts made by my great grandmother, and he loves those quilts like crazy, so I wanted him to have one of his very own. Hopefully he’ll like it!

    @Mel: That sounds spectacular! I’m making a batik quilt also (the best of us do, it seems), but it’s mainly to line the “seat” of my newish living room bay window. Picture the top section of a stop sign, just above the square part. I thought I’d lay the fabric out in rays, so it looks like a sun. Not sure what order I want the colors, or if I want to try getting fancy with the sections. If this works out, I’ll expand to one for the bed.

    Don’t really know much about proper quilting technique or anything, but I figured this was a pretty low stakes project to try winging it (as I tend to do)

    Mandarama

    @Mnemosyne: I’ve had my ACL replaced, and I have anxiety and medical phobia. But it was actually not horrible! I got a donated (cadaver) ligament so someone’s tissue is dancing onwards. The PT was really tough, but I promised dr. that if he’d get me through the skeery part I would do the work part. It was outpatient and pretty quick.

    We did buy the icing machine the clinic used. That thing is awesome. I think it was about $200 but WORTH it. My cat liked to curl up in the tubes of it for coolness as it was running. And we’ve dragged it out for boy sports injuries in the years since, so it’s useful.

    I love yoga and wanted to get hyperflexibility back, and I did! The only thing I won’t do anymore is roller skate, because I don’t want the risk, but otherwise I’m glad I got the knee fixed. I’ll cheer you on.

    @MoxieM: The cat we lost was one of those Houdini juggernaut cats who absolutely was going to get outside if he had to squeeze through a 1-inch opening or barrel you over. And after years of being lucky, he was hit by a car. So I totally agree with you about keeping cats in! We used to worry about coyotes because of him, although he always came inside our fence after dark and spent quite a bit of time indoors too. Losing him hurt in part because we knew we’d failed to make him an indoor kitty. He wore us down. And we still keep thinking if only we’d paid more attention that morning.

    Our tuxedo cat Lucy is happy to be indoors-only. I think she must be living a Twilight Zone episode, though…first her brother cat disappears, then her brother dog (to the hospital)…she’s giving me the Look like “I am NOT next.”

    @Manyakitty: It sounds beautiful!

    I’m not great with color combinations / color order, and I have to actually put big swatches together in the exact order that they’ll appear on the block or medallion, in order to avoid funky looking combos.

    I finally bought a large, foldable cardboard cutting board at the fabtic shop, glued white butcher paper to the surface of it to give a clean slate for my samples, and now I stick swatches on there in order with pushpins, prop it up against the wall, and move the swatches around until the order / combination looks good. It really helps me to be able to stand back across the room and see the swatches all together, to tell what works and what doesn’t.

    Some snooty quilters will insist that a “project wall” covered in corkboard is essential. Pah! The $15 cheapie cutting board wotks fine for me, and I can just fold it up and stow it under the sofa or in the closet when I’m not using it.

    @Mandarama: My grt grandmother was so scarily good at it that she hand cut a lot of her pieces by just eyeing them. I have never seen anybody else able to do that (I’d make a butchery of it if I tried!!) but then again she had had almost 80 years of experience when she started teaching me.

    My other grt grandma, my grandma, and all their friends used patterns traced on newspaper, typing paper, cut out of plastic coffee can lids, pretty much whatever they had at hand when somebody offered to share a pattern.

    I wince when I hear people insist that you *absolutely MUST!!!* have their special, $35 triangle form and $50 ruler in order to even think about cutting a quilt piece. Pencils got tracing, and a decent pair of scissors do just fine for me!

    IIRC, the Democrats have been doing very well at special elections overall, but almost all of their wins have been for state legislatures (where there are more special elections anyway). Most of the special elections for US House have been won by the Republican, but that’s because they’ve been in very red districts. The Democrats have seen impressive swings, but they haven’t been big enough to win the seats. To use a sports metaphor, the Democrats have been beating the spread handily, but not winning the game.

    Yes, Trump is a liar, and unaware of how to count. He is only counting people with an (R) by their names.

    @Mandarama: Oh, I’m so sorry– I’ve had those cats who hover by the door and wait for the tiniest opening. Where I used to live (Boston metro) the vets leaned heavily on the “keep your cats inside!” message, and it became rare to see one just wandering around.

    Out where I’ve moved to–and maybe b/c it’s mostly farm country?–the standard is to let them out, but all the hazards apply, Seeing all the notices is very upsetting. It’s as if the message hasn’t gotten around that cats can live a perfectly happy and much safer life indoors.

    @Mnemosyne: Good luck with the surgery. As to the clean up… I have no advice! Tidy is not my strong suit, despite decades of trying. Laundry baskets, perhaps? Ikea boxes typically stack, and if there’s not one near you, they ship.
