what if they heat up the hot dogs and sprinkle them on top with some kind of hot fudge sauce replacement? hot ketchup? HOT RELISH?

You know I thought it couldn’t get worse than hot ketchup on ice cream but you straight up went for hot relish, I’m actually deeply impressed by how gross that is.

It's called bologna? :D

SEE THIS IS WHY I DON’T EAT BOLOGNA.

Making your own cat food is impressive! Do you order taurine etc and add in the nutrients?

Yep! The recipe linked mentions a specific vitamin mix but I couldn’t find that one, so I found a decent multi-vitamin “for cat health and longevity” that includes supplementary taurine, and I use that one. 

It’s actually pretty easy once you’ve got into the rhythm of it -- I pressure cook all of it, so it’s a morning of babysitting the pressure cooker while doing other stuff. Buying boneless, skinless chicken thighs took a lot of the labor out of it, and if I wanted I could buy canned sweet potato too. The little ones don’t like it as well as they do the Sheba canned food I buy for low-spoon/emergency situations, but they still seem to enjoy it.

Do you have "Find my iPhone" turned on? You can access it through your apple account.

Annoyingly, I *do* have Find my iPhone turned on and I checked it on my iPad. It says it’s charged and online but can’t find the location; I don’t know why that would be? [Techie side of Tumblr?] 

But there’s a limited subset of places it could be, so I used Find my iPhone to Lock It and Mark it As Lost so if someone finds it, they can call Monotasker (and that’s all they can do with it.) So that’s good.

I’m sure it will appear again soon(ish), but it was just the shitty cherry on the top of a depression sundae. :-(

Wait… tags on YOUR posts are having their tags removed!???

Yep! I made an info post earlier this week, reposted it a few times, tagged it *very* thoroughly each time... and now the posts have no tags. I certainly didn’t remove them! 

And of course if you search tumblr for those tags, or others like them, you’ll find pretty much nothing for the past month, even though there have been *plenty* of posts using the tags.

I look forward to your suggestions (not that I’m a huge David Tennant per se, I am actually quite curious as to who’d you’d propose instead.)

unfortunately i’m not in the business of suggesting alternatives, only providing very spicy and deeply stupid hot takes that are only occasionally vaguely topical

The mindfulness conspiracy

You know what? I take back what I said above. :D The first part of the article was ugh, but the rest of it was good. I wish authors wouldn’t put opinion first… give it to me at the end, after you’ve made the case!

I agree with this. The initial part, where he’s hammering at mindfulness is kind of meh. His basic point -- about a type of mindfulness that insists on taking the world as it is & acclimating oneself to that so as to be a more productive cog in the capitalist machine -- is a good one, but OK, I got it, let’s move on. Once he starts belting away at neoliberalism/ privatization/ disconnected individualism and where that kind of self-abstracted mindfulness fits into the bigger sociopolitical picture, that’s when the article gets going for me.
