Grabbed a roll of coconut matting for the bees and other insects in preparation for next week's hot weather. Along with some medium sized stones in a tray, it will make a good watering station for them while minimizing the chance of drowning. I'll make up a large batch of slightly weaker sugar water for the hummingbirds and replace it more often than usual.

The duo have been outside roasting together on a deck chair all day. They came in for a nibble and some water, Cheese had a bit of coconut oil. Shorty has stayed cool inside on a shelf.

I&#39;ve tweaked the color and lighting because I couldn&#39;t get a good picture of him. He&#39;s been losing fur again, and it&#39;s obvious that he&#39;s sensitive in some areas. It&#39;s not as bad as it&#39;s been in the past, but he&#39;s on that path. You can see the bare patch on his back leg. There are others on his sides that are sensitive. #CatAllergy

Cleaned litter boxes by spraying them with a weak bleach and detergent solution. Wowzers. That was a hell of a combination. I won&#39;t be able to smell anything until tomorrow.

He can be difficult to coax up but once he hits the wool, game over.

Mac was at about my knees when I decided to grab him by the knape of the neck and pull him a little closer. It would have worked fine, he didn&#39;t struggle at all. However, my body decided to have a moment and cramp up somewhere in my midsection that shouldn&#39;t get cramps, and he bailed.

One of the reasons people on the left talk about fuel prices is because this is a big go to for the righties. I asked a neighbor about it, he was silent. Told him I didn&#39;t want to hear him talk about it ever again. He moved the conversation to another topic. Those talks can have lasting effects.

I&#39;ve recommended this book a dozen times on here, and am doing it again. I haven&#39;t read his latest essay on the bunker because I can guess and it&#39;s too depressing at the moment.

McCarthy only got as far as he did because of a complicit media. Still, can you think of anyone comparable to Murrow in the last couple of decades?

Saw the orange one referred to as &#39;yam tits&#39;. It&#39;s the little things that keep me going.

I&#39;ve been on a Swedish murder mystery kick. Picked up The White Lotus to change things up and bailed after 15 minutes. Spring Tide is what I&#39;m starting tonight. I don&#39;t even notice the accent anymore.

Julie DiCarlo published a block list of all the reporters at the dinner tonight. I can&#39;t access it because I&#39;m not a bluesky member. Be nice if there was one floating around over here.

I&#39;ve seen this sentiment expressed the last couple of days, none better than this. #NoKings
