I'd imagine that at least the Santa Cruz contingent has been very familiar with Dr. Bronner's "Magic" soaps over the decades, and, well, look what I have now! And yes, the wrapper does have a lot of tiny text from Bronner's "Moral ABC" on it.

🎶On the first day of Christmas, the universe gave to me, A gray kitten in a cat tree!🎶 (The day was gray also. 😸)

Panther and Panda pretend to be one super-long cat
Tané Tachyon:
Panther and Panda curled up together in one of the heated beds
Tané Tachyon:
Suddenly we have three older kittens - Prince, Panda, and Panther - thanks to Heading Home Animal Rescue!
Tané Tachyon:
When we got Panda and Panther they were pretty freaked out at first - among other things Panda would lift the cushion of one of the heated cat beds so he could hide under it instead of curling up on it

I updated my 2020 Biden Harris sign, cutting the names out in 2 panels, sliding Harris up, & spray-painting Biden (I think he'd be cool with it) with Walz. I might cover the seam with something like a red/white/blue sequin strip but am otherwise happy!
Tané Tachyon:
Happy Caturday! A week ago I made this Lego #HarrisWalz2024 button, and have an idea for at least one other version to make also. Obviously, being Lego, it's very easy to move/add/remove elements of the design, within the constraints of the small size.
Tané Tachyon:
I just got these buttons from Kelly Pound — https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlushBot — who being in Santa Cruz County like me made for very fast shipping!
Tané Tachyon:
On 7/20 I ordered parts from BrickLink to make Lego Biden/Harris buttons, but you know what happened 7/21. I'll order the needed new letters when VP Harris picks her own VP - fortunately the contenders all have short last names that would fit perfectly!

Arthur sent me this Bunny Kingdom board game addon, and here Oswald is doing some yoga while checking it out

After seeing an AI image of Vice President Harris as Captain America, I took this photo as part of a reply wondering if there will be 3rd-party Harris 2024 merch like these Hillary 2016 ones, though having a very-recognizable logo helps

Back in May I once again set up the tent on the trampoline for the summer, and today Oswald and I were noting this thorny thistle that had sprung up in front of it
Tané Tachyon:
If Caltrain ever gets extended to Los Gatos, do you think that the station will look like this?

Happy Earth Day! Here's Oswald with one of the shirts I got at Saturday's 2024 Earth Day Event: Abbott Square & Downtown Santa Cruz celebration.
Tané Tachyon:
My childhood-fave "golden crown ring rolls", each roll as usual dipped in butter and then lots of cinnamon-sugar before being put in the pan to rise and then bake, each roll not as usual having two cherries hidden inside.

Oswald looking at (and providing a surface for a few of) many of these small and sometimes-overlapping projections of the eclipse
Tané Tachyon:
Happy 14th anniversary ACA/Obamacare! As you see I even have two official Obama shirts related to it, & there was also a "BFD" one. 😎 I have two nice Biden/Harris shirts, but I wish they'd put out more cool "issue" shirts like Obama used to as
Tané Tachyon:
Everyone should read John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, & Nate Powell's March graphic novel trilogy! As usual Oswald was helping me out with a photo to illustrate one of my social media posts.
Tané Tachyon:
I snazzed up this Lego table by adding Lego plates, stars, & clouds to its plain-white side & front panels; & boards & gold caster wheels underneath for more/better storage + ease of rolling it back and forth to access the bed drawer next to it.

Photo 2 of I just got this pretty pop-up holiday card from the Bidens, it's even got cute paw prints to represent Commander and their own tabby-and-white cat, Willow. 😺
