green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

I have been told that it is #BlackCatAppreciationDay which tbh is every day in this house, I always appreciate my Giant Screaming Purring Love Beast. <3333 Nar.

If I use Mastodon to appreciate ancient Egyptian culture, and a mutual does the same...

Does that mean we have a Toot In Common?

🤔

* wait for yardwork to be done
* store
* catboxes
* dishes
* um
* yeah that's about it really

so we seem to have developed a ritual where when Spouse leaves for work a moth comes into the house (accidentally so far, but next time??) and then Raziel and I "hunt" it in the living room until Razi eats it. today he mouthed the moth thoroughly, but didn't actually eat it. I praised him anyway. hunter-training is important. *nodnod* #kittenthings

minor miscalculation... I didn't eat enough before attempting sleep, and the downstairs neighbors started making bacon at 9 pm, and the smell was coming up through the air conditioner, and I realized that I really need to eat something before going to sleep, so now I have, but I'm not sure I'm going to be *able* to sleep because I've had food recently. but I'm tiiiired. ugh. welp, here goes sleep attempt part 2... wish me luck. :P

I'm really enjoying watching the flood of newbies in the Fediverse. It's been a while. :D

oh yeah *that's* the reason I had that Laura Branigan album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IyAGpooGko&list=PLKGxGj955XWR51M0BhQYi1hSo32qVTkfs

oh the night is my world
city lights, painted girls
in the day, nothing matters
it's the nighttime that matters

I'm living in the forest of my dreams...

rediscovered "Don't Go" by Yazoo the other day, looked the video up on YT, and *dang* it is wonderfully, hilariously goofy.

also reminds me that the first three albums I ever bought (I don't remember the order) were Thompson Twins "Into The Gap," The Cars "Heartbeat City," and Laura Branigan self-titled. I remember almost all of the first two, and can't remember a single song off the last one. XD

all he did was x-ray the problem tooth and take care of that. he never, ever nags or complains about dental hygiene or dental condition, he's *always* positive and friendly, and that alone is worth my loyalty. at the next visit he'll take x-rays of the rest of my teeth, and see what else needs to be done, if anything. and "maybe a cleaning," as he said. :)

my dental adventure this morning was, as the CW says, extremely mild. the dentist remembered me, even though my last visit was 8 years ago--by the way, if you're in the North Seattle area, I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Johnny S. Lee on Aurora Ave., he's FANTASTIC--and he took care of me in less than half an hour. I've got a new temporary crown, and an appointment in 2 weeks to get a permanent one.

I am SO PROUD of their generation. they've *finally* developed music that is completely incomprehensible to me! <333 kids these days and their darned weird music!!

I went to a different pet store than my usual place this afternoon for cat treats. the person behind the counter looked to me like they were barely out of high school, and were playing what I can only assume is "music" consisting of what sounded to me like a series of nonsequential electronic test beeps. at first I thought something was malfunctioning, until it briefly played a melody--then went back to random beeping.

I'm the lizard of well wishes

I hope you have
a great day
today!

dancing with Raziel while singing along to NIN "The Hand That Feeds" and then Razi bites me. he's getting into the spirit of the song! XD #kittenthings

are there instances that specifically, in their rules, name "ableism" as a thing they disallow? disabled voices being involved in moderation are also a bonus.

to be clear, we do NOT mean any instance that uses a catch-all and includes ableism in that catch-all. forex "we don't allow racism, transphobia, etc" is not helpful in this request.

a moth got in this morning as Spouse was leaving for work, and (with a bit of assistance) Raziel took great enjoyment from hunting and eating it. such a mighty hunter. #kittenthings

going to have a Dentist Adventure! today. :P hopefully it won't be *too* much of an adventure... wish me luck?

wildlife rehab report compiled and posted to DreamWidth! https://elynne.dreamwidth.org/2299052.html

one of the interns wanted help moving several seagulls from a smallish enclosure to a larger one, and asked me if I would help catch and transport, and I said "sure!" and that's how I got bit by a seagull. XD I still have the scrapes on my hand, too. unlike ducks, seagulls can do some damage to tender human flesh!

in other not-really-news, WRENS ARE ADORABLE. and I think that concludes this edition of wildlife rehab news! (5/5)
