TWO YEARS AGO TODAY, I STOOD IN THE CENTER OF A GIANT PENTAGRAM, DRANK FROM THE OBSIDIAN CHALICE, FELT THE DARK PRESENCE WELL UP WITHIN ME, AND GAZED AT THE HEAVENS WHILE A SINGLE STAR FLICKERED OUT FOR ETERNITY.

FROM THAT MOMENT ON, I KNEW I WOULD FOREVER BE BEIGE. #BEIGEPARTY #NOTACULT

@andrew So many responses and good ones too! But I don’t see you replying to any. Wondering. Hope you see soon such an outpouring. Heck, if you do nothing else but follow each person who has replied, you will have a massive kickstart on your stream.

I hope you are aware that single instance servers/instanes will need to furnish reason other instances should allow your instance access and chumminess. Other instances will notice you the more you interact with other instance members and vice versa.

So maybe I’m the first person in the #NotACult beige.party to notice your call. Welcome!

PS I may be only a social member “bear of simple brain” explaining what I just suggested. All are welcome to say it better than I. 😉

I think it’s time for more of my followers from “the old instance” be sure to follow me at this #NotACult party. So I present a tiny #TipOfDay for dog owners who want to give good quality dog food economically. Our terrier Buddy has the nerve to be picky about his food. Pretty uppity for this dog from a shelter. Oh, who am I kidding: he’s smart enough to have figured us for patsies.

Dry dog food from Aldi or Costco that is grain-free works but he rarely will eat it alone. We usually add 1/3 cup of “wet food” (canned dog food). It also works out with 1/4 cup cat food! Since Covid took hold in 2020, have you noticed the availability and choices for dog food has dropped by maybe half? AND unless you want Chicken you are limited. Buddy likes beef, duck and sometimes-rarely salmon or tuna.

So I continue to make his food about every 2 months. I’ve shared the photos and recipe I developed, in the past at the old place. Do you have tips to share about pet food? This cat food I get is whatever is on sale in a small can. Gets about 3 or 4 meals mixed with the dry dog food. Only a few times a month for the added cat food. I rotate his food a few times a month, adjusting the ingredients in small steps. Oh yes, I save a LOT of money and it’s better nutrition. #DogsOfMastodon

Early morning in dark kitchen I prepare our dogs meal in 2 stainless steel bowls. On the left is dry brown dog food kibble with canned cat food being mixed in. Small can cat food top center. To right is bowl with water and tartar control added to deter tooth decay.

An opportunity #DogsOfMastodon #MonDog for all who follow me here from my #NotACult party. Yes I am a very concerned USian, but I also still have a sense of humor. My posts have a lot of boosts and links about what some call “politics” or use a tag like #USpol. I generally don’t use content warnings but I know some people have to unfollow or mute or block me or some posts. I always hope people just scroll on by posts they don’t like.

But in the meantime, how about dogs? Dogs are really good people. Buddy is making sure I know about priorities such food and naps. Here, I had only left my spot on the couch for 5 minutes. I am sorting and culling about 15 boxes of records and documents. New sturdy Bankers boxes with better labels and sorting. This dog was sleeping on his dog bed 6 feet away when I got up. He’s fast.

Tan and white chubby and old terrier napping on the gray-green couch. He’s taking up completely the only place I left on the couch surrounded by file boxes. Photo from above couch and crooked.

@quasirealsmiths We are pretty much in line on outlooks. I think that since I’m decades older than you and have dealt with many decades of repression and saw it up close as a child and our family had bomb threats and death threat, well I guess I have grown up alert. All because my father was a high school teacher “on the wrong side of town”.

I’m also at the same time very wary of what will happen with Social Security and Medicare because my disabled adult son and I depend on it. So on one hand zero fed to give and thinking I better just post pretty pictures and be more quiet online. So, each of us online will have to find an equilibrium. I am fine with scrolling past things I’m not interested in. Am expecting people will just ignore anything I post that they aren’t interested in. #NotACult is very nice. I appreciate your reply.
