Zoot
April 2003—October 2005

Zoot () passed away in the early morning hours on Monday, October 24, 2005. I adopted her as a six-week-old stray on Memorial Day in 2003, when I found her crying piteously in my driveway in a heavy rainstorm. She immediately started purring when I picked her up, which sealed my fate.

I don’t know what the cause of death was: I found her on the floor next to the couch, with no apparent injuries, when I woke up in the morning. When I’d gone to sleep a few hours earlier she was as affectionate and playful as always—the picture of rude feline health. Losing her is a blow, and I miss her. I’m posting this because I’m retiring her blog, and I wanted to let folks know why.

With Republicans trying to rescind child labor laws, teachers packing heat, guns legal on campuses, the persistent persecution of LGBTQ, and the increasing stupidity of the American public, I'm putting forth my story "Blood Drive" as the most prophetic short story of the 2000's.
