Julian Nubaby (2016-2025) I was honored to be your human. Thank for you for being my Nubaby. I will miss you so dearly. Give my love to Miles. Until I see you both again. Run free, kitty.

Julian Nubaby has given us almost nine months on a three-to-six month diagnosis. We've treasured those moments & not taken them for granted. Now staring down the barrel of making the humane call, my inner child has deftly bypassed various mental blocks to remind me how unfair it all is. He's right.

Same. Enlistment numbers were up last year (which of course Trump took credit for). Wonder if we'll get clean reporting on 2025 enlistment next year. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a bump in enlistment as austerity measures kick in and alternatives diminish. Economic conscription is real.

Trump will federalize D.C. police, deploy the National Guard, & send the FBI after homeless people to combat a made-up crisis in D.C. But on Jan. 6th when violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol he couldn't be bothered to call the National Guard. Make it make sense.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

I love when Molly Ringwald adopted her into the Breakfast Club. Don't mind admitting that I'm jealous.
