and my dear #cats, Kentucky and Louisiana! Welcome and nice to meet you!

Hellooooo Mspsocial! Nice to meet you! I'm Josh. I like reading, gaming, and many other things.

Here are the living beings that depend on me, Kentucky cat and Louisiana cat. Kentucky is from Kentucky, has no teeth, and enjoys chasing her toys. Louisiana's origin is unknown, but that was her name at the Minneapolis shelter so it seemed like fate. She enjoys waking me up in the morning to feed her.

I'm Josh and trying to figure out how to be a lawyer.

I have two cats, Kentucky and Louisiana.

I post about the Court, USPol, puzzles, my cats, and whatever media catches my fancy.

A reboot of Argento's "Deep Red," but the cold reading that instigates the action is an episode of "Crossing Over with John Edward." Almost everything else the same.

Ok I promise that's the last edit of that.

I teared up reading Sandra Day O'Connor's letter today, which announced her diagnosis of dementia and her retreat from public life. My emotion was in part based on her place in history and part that the letter was a non-partisan appeal for civic engagement in an era where everything is tinged with bile, rancor, and bad faith.

It feels strange to do something of a pre-emptive mourning for someone, but that's what the aftermath of reading that letter felt like.

TFW you think you created a problem for yourself and only really have yourself to blame.

Partially a result of the way this interview is presented/edited, but I felt you could literally see brain cells working overtime here.

I said I would do something for a friend and now realize I can't do it due to a scheduling conflict.

Kind of nice to work from home, deal with some house issues, then come in at noon for work.

Working from home, waiting for Ron the Sewer Rat.

Him: But social media! People might take it the wrong way!

Me: Gosh, I wonder what that's like.

I posted an article on FB--the one regarding debunking Trump's migrant caravan claims--and a friend sent me a long text about it, pointing out various issues with it. I told him, "If you can't publicly post this to the actual thread, I really don't want to hear it; I subjected myself to public scrutiny, you can too."

Like, if you separated me from my child and deported me, I don't think my impulse would be, "You win this round, gub'mint" and tuck tail and stay away. I am coming back for my kid. You know, protecting your family, one of the most human and relatable impulses.

I wonder about how much of the caravan is fueled by Trump administration policies--meaning that the crackdown, child separation, ect., has led people to more methodically organize.

I bought some new candle holders!

This is the closest I've ever come to honestly believing that someone can pushed by something liberals are doing into voting Republican.

In case you, like me, have relatives who think 4k migrants and refugees are going to suddenly show up in their backyard. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/five-myths-about-honduran-caravan-debunked-n922806?fbclid=IwAR2rfnBLMLaAt587GcEmq6LVVTDZIHbsa720C_ng4qJrlfwSg6CZy5E9RU0

Doing an all night movie marathon on Friday night. The lineup:

My main drain line is backing up, so that's fun.

The last time I felt this overwhelmed was before I took the bar. Is that weird? Feels weird.

Better now. Just had to get out of the crowd.

Concert emotionally overwhelmed me. Had to step out. Everyone around me was having a great time and I just was not.

Band's fine though.
