States vote at different times, so I beg ALL of you to check when your state is voting. If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.
THIS is how you move the party further LEFT. PLAN YOUR VOTE!!!
Primary schedule here:
* "2026 Statewide Primary Calendar:"
https://www.270towin.com/2026-state-primary-calendar/I don't know where you live, so I can't link this for you, but I find the Progressive Voter Guide online very helpful in narrowing down candidates in the often packed primaries where I live.
I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.
REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.
State and local elections have a massive impact on your quality of life.* Alabama (Runoffs), District of Columbia (Primaries), Georgia (Runoffs), Oklahoma (Primaries)! Don't forget to vote June 16!
* Maryland (Primaries), New York (Primaries), South Carolina (Runoffs), Utah (Primaries)! Don't forget to vote June 23!

* The kittens are again trading intestinal distress off, but Clawdia doesn't get it as badly as Saffy and Saffy did pretty well of the nutrisource. Too bad we are out of it with no prospect for more this month. I am implementing my program of using the Livia safe kibble samples in flavours Livia doesn't like and see if I can get them both settled at once.
In other news, Saffy hasn't knocked books off the high shelf with her butt in days. I have hopes the alarming clatter last time scared her off doing that. I remember the trouble Livia had when she was growing this fast because she kept losing track of exactly where her butt was in space, and I think this was a similar problem where Saffy was miscalculating her new turn radius.
The Nice Refugee Lady was cleared to work as of Tuesday so as I write this at too early in the morning on Tuesday she is in my kitchen sorting things out. She has met the kittens. After some thought Livia has tentatively decided she's familiar enough not to properly hide from and so has left her secure hide for my bedroom. Brave girl ,Livia!
* Tuesday morning, the Young caregiver came for four hours. She needs to get all eight hours in before being away for a family thing later in the month and we are desperate. This ate my morning. Amoung the really helpful things was she took me across town for my glasses and to ethical grocery. I told her it was all right to wait in the car if she wanted or shop for herself if she needed anything. she opted for the car. This is hugely helpful as that's about as far as my car can go in a trip these days and the hotter it is, the more dangerous for the car.
This basically took like two days of spoons and really fucked me up, even wth the grocery store scooter thingie. It was incredibly helpful to have someone to bring in groceries and put them away for me again. This is literally one of the things I am supposed to have an aide for. *glares hard at the Asshole Agency*
I was already getting ready for bed as she left as I was struggling to do things like stand and breath at the same time at that point.
The glasses seemed fine at that point. Seemed. So I've got progressive lenses and have have for a while. (For those of you who have good eyesight and/or are under 50, progressive lenses are like bifocals, only instead of a sharp cut between far vision and reading vision, it's more gradual). I have a very extreme prescription, plus astigmatism. I can not function without glasses and they are expensive because of things like bifocals not being covered, nor ultra light lenses, which I need because no modern lens grinder will make my prescription in anything but ultra light. Medicare thinks bifocals are unnecessary frills for some reason, also ultra lights and scratch resistance even though pretty much any senior needing glasses likely needs all three and so do a lot of people with disabilities needing glasses. (glares hard at Medicare.) Like yes, it's nice they cover most frames, but I wish they'd let me apply the part of the frame benefit i don't use towards necessary modifications to the lens. Sigh.
Anyway, what m I using for riding in a car and grocery shopping and navigating my apartment? The top part of the lenses which is for far vision. So when i get up i have cat and fish maintenance and cat messes to deal with. I need to make and eat food, etc.. Glasses are fine. They are also a really pretty green and gold like they are from the emerald city and they are very sturdy, something government frames weren't back in the day. (You used to get six choices of frame. you got glasses every two years. The glasses would break a year or less in. It was a Problem). Now you get an allowance for normal people frames, which used to be tiny and cheap, so the frames would break a year or a year and a half in and one was always patching them waiting for the two year benefit roll over. Now it's a generous frame allowance every year, but you still have to pay for most of the lenses. The glasses seemed fine. Seemed.
Then I sat down at the computer to play with my friends. It was exhausting. The blurriness and double vision gave me terrible eyestrain. i know adjustment takes time, but my vision was just so much worse. I have never had new glasses where the vision was dramatically worse than the old glasses. The headache and eyestrain were so bad I had to switch back.
Glasses aren't returnable. The money is spent. They said I should come back and they'd see what they can do.
Wednesday I dragged myself out to the optometrist despite worries about the car. The glasses re too bi. Neither she nor I noticed when we picked them out. Like literally too big for my head. So whenever there is money for Amazon again, I need to find some sort of sticky nose thing to hold glasses on? IDK. I overdrew my bank account for glasses i may not even be able to use. I got her to bend the ear thingies some more, but I'm not sanguine. I'm supposed to keep trying over the weekend and see if this is enough adjustment to make them feasible.
The old ones are blurry also for reading, but not as bad.
Fuck!
The good news is they are fine for driving as I still needed to do my library run and hit the coop on the way back for veggie burgers and tomatoes. I ended up finding four starts as well. Another tomato varietal, a marigold (I accidentally killed mine two springs ago and last year's didn't take.), another thai basil as I like to have them planted three places in case one fails (I use a LOT of fresh basil), and a lettuce start, because none of the lettuce I planted in May sprouted for some reason and the other lettuce is close to picked over. It is infuriating to be buying starts this late in season. I usually have staggered crops going gang busters at this point. IDK. The tomatoes all look to be growing well at least.
In other news, Saffy is so bright! We were given an intermediate level puzzle feeder last Wednesday. The directions said leave it open and put treats in there so they get used to treats in the feeder. Two days ago I introduced them to the idea that the central fish thingies have a treat under the cover and Saffy worked out how to knock the little fish domes out of the way, and was smooth by last night with it. So there are four flip top compartments and if you slide them over after knocking the fish domes off, you can find extra compartments underneath. I'd been hiding treats in the under compartments to use as refills. Today with zero hints, never having seen me slide anything, she broke into the underneath compartments. I left her working out how to use a hinged flip top.
She flipped them both! This one is harder or her, as you have to get your paw in at the correct angle, but she has solved the puzzle feeder entirely now. She did it in three days, clever girl.
I do not want to imply anything wrong with Clawdia. She's just way more interested in finding toys. She likes treats, but she's also really happy with he current kibble samples.
Clawdia will be playing nearby for a lot of this, watching her sister safe crack the puzzle feeder. They are social learners as a species, and I have hopes of her picking it up, either from her sister or hints from me.
Also, Saffy is growing really, really fast and is hungry all the time the way Livia was, so getting all the treats out of the puzzle is more exciting for her. When I say growing fast, she's approaching Livia's length, though not her height or solidity. (Livia is very muscular and sturdy. Saffy is currently the cat equivalent of an Afghan hound).
Meanwhile, Clawdia is a little bigger than Tavy was, but not by much. She is also a big fan of cuddle naps during lung time, which is one of the many things I've been missing.
* A friend gave me some of the sticky glasses things and they do work. I no longer thing of them as "The Torture Glasses." I am now doing a test patch on either side of my nose where I treat one with anti-acne cream and one with benadryl to see if I am allergic to the sticky nose things. (If I am, it's likely the adhesive.
When I came out of my room Saturday three of the other four mammals I live with had made So many Messes. so many. It took about an hour to clean and had to be done before I could make food. None of the messes were malicious, but most were collaborative.

Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 24 [DW Edition]
Jun. 14th, 2026 10:15 am↑↑↑ Available dates:
June 16 & 18
June 30 & July 2
July 7 & 9
Good morning, y'all, and welcome to Lonely Prompts Sunday. ^.^ If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.
