My dog has a mass on her spleen. They will need to do a splenectomy to find out if it is cancer (prognosis: bad) or something else.

My other dog and I are home alone at the moment without her and it is weird. Anyway, send good doggie vibes our way please.

I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.

Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is
unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17.

¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of
Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”

It is genuinely surreal to watch both the U.S. and Britain decide to destroy their own world-renowned and extremely profitable university systems at the same time.

Do not lift a large floofy dog and then immediately trip over the other large but less floofy dog.

It is not a good plan and now everything hurts.

Become a Foster Parent Temporary fosters are needed for shelter cats, kittens, and dogs. Get started now to open your home and help them thrive!

Philly area people:

The CHOP garage collapse in Grays Ferry has (probably) killed 3 people, and all the animals at the Grays Ferry Philly Paws location have been evacuated.

They desperately need cat foster homes until the shelter can reopen. Please help if you can!

Last night, I dreamed I was shadowing my daughter at a brand new high school, but before we could leave, I had to feed the fish.

A snake was in with the fish and tried to attack. It slithered out of the tank and became two lizards, which my husband promptly caught.

No more lasagna before bed.

I sang four masses in sixteen hours, ate enough ham to test my structural capacity, and took a two hour baseball nap. Happy Easter.
