I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

Bahaha, Abigail, you truly know us. We are, indeed.
Ahh, cats! 😂 Abigail is the quintessential one!
Very true!! Abigail is a paragon of cat behavior...love it!
Such a cat move! haha
*Laughing from the preview on the home page* Gurrl Abigail, YESSS!!! Thanks for being a Fur-baby Mom Cathy, and writing for the one without the ability to type (yet.)
Hhahaahahha! I laughed sooo hard Cathy!!! Spoken like a true feline friend!! 😂
Indeed Cathy, indeed!😂👏👏👏
I love the twist there, Cathy! LOL! And that we are!
I wouldn't have expected any less of a cat!😅💕
Exactly what I expected 😹
Dear Princess Abigail, Of course we're all grateful for you. But is your mom grateful for you? You're like the best thing that has happened to her. Ask her if she's grateful for you but only do it when she's asleep. 3am would be a good time. Lots of love, Princess Dhar-Sheena
That cat!
Lol you know it Abigail! 😂✨️🙌 Good one
Abigail is wise! Love it 🥰
Oh that saucy little kitty. But she is correct
Yes, we are grateful for you, Abigail! Now if we could just pass you around for snuggles, pets and purrs we'd appreciate you even more! Suggest you consider tackling that for the 2050 challenge. Fun Haiku, Cathy!
Mic drop!
