Kitten Who Needed An Incubator To Survive Grows Up To Be A Spitfire – Personal story – I had a cat give birth on my bed (while I was in it.) She had 5 kittens, but rejected the last two. One was still in the placenta and not breathing, but the other was (mostly) out of the placents and was breathing, but cold. I warmed him in my hands, found a doll bottle, and tried to feed him a little milk (I had no KMR and no time to waste.) He took very little, if any, but it got all over him. In despair, I laid him down by MomCat to try to figure out what to do next. To my surprise, she perked up – “What’s this” – and started bathing him. I guess he must have smelled better and tasted good from all that spilled milk. Anyway, after that, he never looked back. In fact, he became her favorite of the litter. Totally by accident … but someone else might be able to use it sometime.
Yesterday, not a lot happened, and what did happen was mostly annoying small stuff. Plus, it was hot – hotter than it’s been for over a week. So let’s just all move on from that.

Medium – Statement from Senator Amy Klobuchar
Quote – Of course this has been scary at times, since cancer is the word all of us fear, but at this point my doctors believe that my chances of developing cancer again are no greater than the average person. Click through for full statement. Pat already TJI’ed the news, but I think it’s worth a repeat (with a picture and an exhortation.)
Yesterday, I got serious about getting ready to go see Virgil tomorrow. Even though I’ve done it once recently, it still requires thought and preparation. But I think I have it pretty much together. As the weather cools down, which I assume it will eventually, it will be easier … there are things I cannot put into the car a day ahead without risking heat damage to them at this point – unless I do so after dark, whidh has its own downsides.
The Hill – Colorado officers, paramedics charged in 2019 death of Elijah McClain
Quote – An independent probe submitted to the Aurora City Council in February determined that the police and paramedics involved were were at fault in McClain’s death, saying there was no reason to stop McClain, who was walking home from a convenience store. That report also concluded that no crime had been reported when McClain was stopped and he wasn’t exhibiting any threatening behavior. Click through for a little more. Democratic AG + grand jury = results (sometimes.) You may remember that Elijah used to play the violing in animal shelters. As an animal lover and a former violinist, I took this personally.
The 19th – Even if Texas’ six-week abortion ban is overturned, clinics will close
Quote – “This law will end legal abortion in Texas. Allowing the state to do that and effectively close all abortion clinics — even if the law is ultimately struck down — will give the state what it wants,” said Leah Litman, an assistant professor of law at the University of Michigan and expert in constitutional law. “Just allowing this law to go into effect is ending abortion in Texas.” Click through for story. In case you missed this (and had no idea what Andy was satirizing) this is it.
Maybe we need to nake a category forRepublicans who are so insane and destructive that their familie turn on them. Besides Trump** and Paul Gosar, there’s Steve Miller, and now Laura Ingraham (see Meidas Touch video below). And I’m sure I’m missing some.

Beau – Let’s talk about who’s to blame for all this…. I can’t help but agree with his assessments of blame. But I also wish, as he does, that we could stop trying to assign blame right now. “Not very conducive to stopping it” is throwing roses at it.
I’ll spare you the Pillow Guy clips and the one about exploding green birds.
