Cold mornings continue, so onward we go.

It was nearly 80°F here … yesterday.
Mr. Met has instincts like dogs and children do about which adults are good or bad.
We noticed Kuiper was winking and rubbing his eye yesterday evening. Didn’t clear up by this morning. Thankfully, vet was able to squeeze us in. He’s got a scratch on the edge of his iris/sclera, should heal ok with antibiotics. Poor Egg.
Ok now do America
"I know nothing about teleporting or him.”
he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare
Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?
The thing about Trump is that he's spewed hateful, insane, bigoted nonsense for decades. I'd be more inclined to blame dementia if he were posting coherent or compassionate statements.
Pundit brain has it that Trump's pope-baiting, Easter profanity, etc., are meaningfully offensive to Christians, but if you call yourself a Christian and have supported Trump through (among other things) ICE murdering innocents and kidnapping children, I don't see how the past week will flip you.
so how was the response to trump attending a ufc match while jd vance was negotiating with iran
how did that go over
Might be our last run for awhile. Warm temps roll in tonight and we don’t see below 50° for at least a week.
We’ve had 80+ hookups since September of last year—heck of a season!
What a triumph for science in spite of… everything.
I think my next girl pup needs to be named Artemis.
A grey and white Siberian husky squishes between two pillows on an orange couch.
Suspicious.
Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this.
The entire USA: what?
Melania: not me.
It is wild how much Finn’s colors changed.
NYT: US Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low The fertility rate has been falling since 2007, in large part because of a plunge among teenagers
There are some clues in the age breakdown: The fertility rate for teenagers dropped by 7 percent from 2024’s figure, setting another record low for the group. Since 2007, the rate for teenagers is down by 72 percent, and since 1991, when teenage fertility rates were at a high, the rate is down by 81 percent.
Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates
On chilly grey days, when the wood stove smoke blows through the yard, it feels very much like November. Spring is trying, but it’ll be at least another month before we get any real green up here.
A team of ten sled dogs runs down a muddy trail, attached to an atv since the snow has melted.
Sled dogs (attached to an ATV) cross a fairly big puddle. Snow clings to the trail in this shady area, too.
Ten sled dogs out ahead of the atv they’re attached to. They’re crossing the last remaining bits of snow.
Ten sled dogs head down and up a series of hills, pulling an atv.

Assuming the ceasefire holds (lol)
- we've solved the artificial crisis we created
- 13 American servicemembera KIA to say nothing of unknown WIA
- Hormuz no longer free to transit ($2M/ship)
- Iran gets $$$ and benefits from taking the strait
- Iran assumes they can keep their uranium and enrich it
Spoiler alert: we’ve always been the bad guys
Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on April 7, per AAA:

so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible
"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.
A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.
My partner is Extremely Offline and it's nice for him... until he has to deal with his Very Online girlfriend.
