I’ve been feeling a strange kind of anxiety about going from multi-variant COVID to the chance of getting the vaccine in a couple months. Honestly, I’m here for the cats, ...TBH.

I’ve been feeling strange lately.

Shelter Cat Update!

Hey all! Happy Saturday night! The Bartender and I had our two friends The Canadians over for drinks and dinner last night. We had a cheese plate, summer salad (because fruit and vegetables here in Panama grow all year and salads are accordingly fantastic-tasting) and the Tiktok pasta, and everything was great. And,…

So now that we’re coming up on a year with a pandemic, how are people doing? I think I’m getting weird. I’ve got a better situation than a lot of people—I’m able to work from home and keep a good pantry, I’m hunkered down with my husband (who is my favourite person) and my cat (we’ve managed to get her good health…

So it seems the UK is now firmly stuck in this bizarre situation where everyone knows that Phil is likely dying (or for all we know has already died) yet no one, particularly in the media, is willing to say he’s dying. Instead UK public life is stuck in this void where 99 year old man who looks like death already…

I spent a small portion of my day today packing clothes in anticipation of moving out next week. Tomorrow will be spent getting the last things I need out of the loft, plus getting what I can’t take stored up there. I’m just waiting for the email to collect my keys and I’ll be leaving the house we’ve shared for the…

High school, on my way to school on a public bus. Got up at 5AM and couldn’t sleep, so I got on the bus at 5.30. It’s still dark and the bus had 3 riders. I sat on the long rear bench.

Fortunately I don’t use public transport that much and have never seen anything really involving bodily fluids.

This COVID vaccine situation is MADNESS and it’s making me angrier than I already was. So many people I know, who work from home, who can sit their assess in their non-covid-y homes for as long as they want to, have gotten vaccines. Meanwhile, my 70 year old parents, and my immunocompromised, sees hundreds of people…

I posted around Thanksgiving about struggling with a divorce from an emotional abuser while in law school, and just about two months later, I’m two weeks (!!) away from the divorce finalizing and have locked down a dream summer job with a V10 firm (really good firm!) in my dream/home city (San Francisco!). I haven’t…

Shelter Cat Update!

Here’s a Darwin pupdate, for everyone who is a fan of cute puppers:

It is absolutely frigid here today, like praying to the car battery gods, please start cold. So, the obvious solution is to not leave the house and bake some bread, then leave the oven door open. I think I finally cracked it, this was as good as the bread from a restaurant we used to go on day trips to New York. The…

Universal health care, basic income, child care, elder care, education, and housing. Tax the fuck out of the rich. Get off fossil fuels.

First off: yeah fuck these hedge fund bastids. If they’re getting screwed at their own game for once, boo-hoo for them. Free market, right, muthafuckers?

I’m heartbroken, internet friends.

Hey hey hey from pretty Panama! Puppy Connie continues to be adorable and may be getting better behaved: less peeing, etc. in the apartment, less chasing the cats. We have dog training on Mondays, and Puppy Class on Fridays, and it’s starting to work. Having never had a dog before, I think that this puppy is an awful…
