Haven't done the UK age verification yet but for International Cat Day I can finally offer #ProofOfCat - we're lucky enough to be providing a retirement home for Fluffball and Chelsea. Fluffball is a big friendly floof. Chelsea is a ninja.

Also feeling angry with our government. Again. It would be really nice if they could stop acting like the Tories. I went for a donation to Gendered Intelligence this time.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Quote by Aaron B. The creator of the artificial intelligent website trap. 

Aaron B said. β€œIt's also sort of an art work, just me unleashing shear unadulterated rage at how things are going. I was just sick and tired of how the internet is evolving into a money extraction panopticon, how the world as a whole is slipping into fascism and oligarchs are calling all the shots - and it's gotten bad enough we can't boycott or vote our way out, we have to start causing real pain to those above for any change to occur.

An underlined quote  in a book that reads as follows…

β€œThe biggest communication
problem is we do not listen to
understand. We listen to reply.

– Stephen R. Covey”

And I feel it is important to mention here that I was not the one that highlighted this quote (because I’m not a monster). Again, just to reiterate, I, Adam Sharp, do not, now or ever, go around highlighting passages in books like some kind of savage.

Today is National Day of Listening so here is a quote about listening, by Stephen R. Covey, that I have saved on my computer...

Actually managed to remember that I'd done some baking for a friend who celebrates Turkey Day and took it round to her. I think I'm officially in possession of the one braincell that our household has today.

Part 1 of 4

A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. 

This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is.
Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi.
 
Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there.

β€œMiss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?”

That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.
