I foster cats; sometimes I get a cat that would be a perfect Emotional Support Animal (ESA), and this is one of them! When I'm fostering an ESA-compatible cat, I list them at diffrint.org/ESAs. Feel free to reach out for inquiry here or at any contact method listed on our contact page.

If you don't have one already, I'd be happy to write you an ESA letter for a small additional fee (following an included assessment/ evaluation).

Do you need routine in your life? Maybe even purpose? Would you benefit from having an exceptionally well-behaved & independent cat who always comes for snuggles when called? Then Eddie might be the kitty for you!

Eddie (whom we call Kevin Michael Ferrari, for obvious reasons) is the smartest cat you've never met. He has a heart condition, for which he takes pills twice a day; he not only takes them like a champ, but he'll even remind you when it's time!

This kitty is the whole package: he encourages you to be more consistent with your own meds, gives you mad sympathy points and a sense of purpose for saving a life, and will provide you company & comfort on-demand.

Adopt him rn.

Congrats to the state employees that will now have a well-deserved 5 (!) day weekend around the July 4 holiday with today's announcement that offices will be closed on July 2 and July 6, in addition to the holiday on July 3 and the weekend on July 4 & 5.

To the OPSers: You know the drill, unfortunately. Hopefully you are allowed to work extra during the week if you would like, to make up for losing on 3 days' pay now.

For reference, the city is currently trying to annex a massive amount of land from the County to make it easier to develop (the County has better restrictions). Don’t think they won’t try to change the comp plan to accommodate data centers the second someone offers those 3 their kickback.

EDIT: The City voted to introduce the ordinance to approve the annexation “and set the first and only public hearing for Aug 26, 2026.”

Events are listed by the day. Events that happen every week appear first, one-time stuff after that.
