PLEASE SHARE: As many of you know, I've been helping families in Orlando affected by ICE with food/bills. I met with 2 new families this week, one can't afford groceries and the other is late on rent. Trying to raise $1,000 along w/what I've put together locally. Can send via PayPal/Venmo: @KFoleyFL

Fern is losing so much hair daily it is insane. Gave a bath yesterday (she did not talk to me for a couple hours) and it only released more hair. I suggested another bath after brushing a lot more out this morning and I learned dog swear words.

MA folks—your tax dollars are going to the child-killing plagiarism company that stole from nearly all of you to flood the world in slop. This is a baffling and insane thing to do at this time. Please give Healey absolute hell for this.

Learning to frame art. Boy does it bring on a certain sailor dialect. How the fuck does one deal with this static and the acrylic glass? Like, it summons the hair of the dog down the street. Using a glass cleaner or other liquid seems like it would add moisture as I close this...

I had to run to VT yesterday and forgot to wear sunglasses on way home. It was amazing how much an hour of sun glare on snow absolutely messed me up yesterday. I have been able to manage my fatigue symptoms after q-fever pretty well, but the residual vestibular stuff... that came roaring back.

oooh we are posting super bowls? As a specialist in Islamic ceramics *cracks knuckles* I present this fabulous 11th c. lustre painted bowl from Fatimid Cairo depicting a Coptic priest. Its white glaze imitates Chinese porcelain and the lustre technique was invented in Iraq a century earlier.

The actual best grocery store queso blanco is sold at Safeway/Albertsons in the produce section with the premade pico and guac.

No pic of Fern sadly. Sorry. She has learned that the drier vent lets out a lovely blast of warm air. *This* is the best place to be if you need to do walkies outside today. She stood there for a few moments before getting on to her task, but the look of surprise warmth and bliss was hilarious.

A breakfast Mustgo. I have become addicted to Finallie Ferments' Heavy Nettle Kraut with eggs this winter.

Això és meravellós. I, per cert, demostració pots fer grans instants de tele sense tractar al públic de tontu ni muntar una gran parafernàlia (al capdavall és un plànol d'una persona passejant mentre parla. Ara, què diu i com ho diu...)

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Dragon in the deep. 🐉⁠ ⁠ Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) are cunning predators. Although they are strong swimmers, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting fishes and crustaceans. This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay.

Beautiful.

So, when are they going to allow private accounts on here?

I am craving a cheeseburger today. Maybe it is just something warm and a carrier for melted cheese... Anyhow, I think I need to satisfy this craving in some way. Later. After submitting more reports...

I am back, sorta. Limiting this to my desktop and not going to be on as often. Also, since the bot swarm was because of Fern photos, not sharing her anymore unfortunately.

#emotionalsupportcheese isn’t even lifting the mood today. No, not posting photo. I appear to be on a starter pack for fake accounts and even this connection (people in phone) feels fucked.

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024. This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

Yah. So, no more photos of Fern on here and when I get to 100 more blocks, I’m taking a break from this place. Most of these profiles follow the same patterns and you’d think after a week and a half they’d catch them. This is stupid. Another milestone will be posted at this rate. 🙄

What the fuck is with all these animal and photo sharing accounts lately. I mean it’s A LOT of them following and sharing photos of my dog, even when I ask for people not to. Blocking too many damn accounts for this place to be enjoyable lately.

I am thankful for this silly sassy over the top playhuman dog! Fern was the best medicine for me during an insane time. I also don’t need people who aren’t my mutuals reposting photos of her please. Thx.

I bought the back mat purely on rahaeli's rec and it came yesterday. I was on it for 30 minutes and it made a ton of the knots in my back better and decompressed my spine. I haven't been this pain-free in years. We have two friends in town. They both tried it and where like yo wtf is this sorcery.

As my mum keeps talking, the amount of rum soaked raisins keep increasing…

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

In addition to the questionable wisdom of spraying PFAS on food crops, organisations like @paneurope.bsky.social highlight, many PFAS pesticides break down into TFA, a forever chemical German authorities class as reprotoxic - harmful to fertility + child development - which can get into groundwater.

You’re getting sleeeeeeepy… #playhuman

The Trump Administration is continuing to play politics with hunger and abandoning their responsibility to feed people - this time unlawfully targeting SNAP benefits for our immigrant communities. We're fighting back and suing.
