"Fancy Feast is expanding into feline-inspired human cuisine, with a New York City Italian restaurant
designed to celebrate the company's new line. Gatto Bianco, which means 'white cat,' is described
as an 'Italian-style trattoria,' and will be open for dinner reservations on August 11-12 only"

"For those who can't get their paws on a reservation, company will post recipes on its website."

But skipping the recipes and serving the real cat food
to your guests would be an unforgivable faux paw.

"Australia fines air traveler nearly $2,000 for carrying undeclared McMuffins"

"$2,664 'infringement notice' — or around $1,874 in American dollars — for 'failing to declare
potential high biosecurity risk items and providing a false and misleading document'."

For contrast, some health food experts insinuate that just eating "fast food" is punishment enough.

There really is no excuse for carrying food items into Australia. They make it very clear that this is a no go and they give you plenty of opportunities to declare it and get rid of it before it is discovered and becomes a big fine. What was this person thinking? I mean come on...Australia does have McDonalds and Egg McMuffins and something even better...Aussie pies

"Demi Lovato says she has 'adopted the pronouns of she/her again':
'I've been feeling more feminine' "

Complements fashion where clothes may be worn again after storage for several years
... especially when they fit once more.

Does this suggest "Coming Out" or "Going Back" party
"Call me whatever!" may be appropriate for the invitations
to guests who struggled to remember the pronouns.

As for the people who were reprimanded (or worse)
for not using the correct pronouns ... ?

"Charismatic pastor, 46, of trendy Miami church is fired after having affairs with THREE worshippers"

These stories about charismatic preachers going astray
hint that charisma is not the best evidence of a spiritual leader
(or even political leader, military leader, etc.)

In other words, if we're responding to charisma,
the influence is not necessarily "spiritual".

"(For Subscribers) Demi Lovato changed her pronouns again."

"Experts say that Lovato changing her pronouns isn't that uncommon
and should remind us that gender identity is fluid and can change over time."

Apparently, we'll need occasional confirmation that we're using correct pronouns.
Cartoons suggest a way with their thought bubbles, but color coding on gender fluids
(like fashion accessories) would be easier public communication.

Interestingly, the planned microchip under the skin (in hand?)
for personal identification in the future could broadcast
gender identity to an inquirer's device.

Include "human" since robots will be ubiquitous
... and their gender identity may be important.


Brave New World humor ...

"More momentous than a child's first words,
parents now await a child's first gender identification
... and friends await their final gender identification
(considering demand for correct pronoun usage)."

Apparently, the brain signals when it's time to switch activities.

Best guess: Several hours of more mental than physical activity should rotate
with several hours of more physical than mental activity. Then, after several rotations,
an appropriate period of rest and relaxation. Strict timing balance may not be required
for certain combinations of activities.

"UK hospitals now 'birthing people' "

A third of England’s state-run maternity hospitals have adopted terms such as 'birthing people'
or 'pregnant people', in addition to or in place of 'mother' or 'pregnant woman' "

At least the pattern is obvious
... a newborn would become "birthed people"
... the father-person is "non-pregnant people"
... the family pet is "non-people people"
... unpaid hospital becomes "angry people"
... then new family is "homeless people".
