Never thought I would live in a time where I have to hope government agents don't harass me for what I post on social media when I try to cross the border back into the US.

And we are back to maybe post things again?

Zechariah was asked if the people should continue to fast and lament. The response from God was, "Did you do it for me or did you do it for yourself?" Spoiler, it was for them. What did God command to do instead of fast? Justice Compassion Don't oppress Don't plot Radical, eh? #Lent2025

So as someone that's gone through their entire adult life with a chronic illness, I have a really intensified perspective when it comes to health-related issues and I just want to be clear: disability does not discriminate. If we're fortunate enough to age, we'll all deal with degrees of disability.

“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”

Getting anonymous mail from "Jesus" accusing me of allowing the false idol of Trump to rise could be funny, if it wasn't threatening violence. And, if I literally hadn't spent the better part of my career fighting everything Trump stands for. WTF is wrong with people?!?

Me on Sunday, trying desperately to soak up all the goodness of sun, green plants, art, water, and music to bring my nervous system somewhere other than the dorsal vagal state it was living in for most of Saturday. It's gonna be a long 4 years. #polyvagaltheory #PTSD

Ah yes, how quickly we got back to the daily feeling of waking up, rolling over, and reading the democracy damage report (the news). #damagereport #ididntmissthis

It's been a while, Bluesky. I've had my head down. Not to ignore, not to hide, but to germinate in the fertile darkness.

Parks and Rec was always one of the most realistic government shows out there.

Hey Twin Cities folks, there are community Christmas trees at Lunds & Byerly’s stores with request tags from local seniors. If you’re able, grab a few to spread some joy. I took some that were requesting large print crossword and word search books and lap blankets.

Bluesky, meet Henson. We named him after Jim Henson because he looks like a Muppet. He has successfully brought live amphibians into the house. #Muppets #dogsofbluesky

"Like a Prayer" by Madonna now available on the latest Christian XXX-mas album. Along with "Hallelujah" by Cohen and "Take Me To Church" by Hozier.

My 🧠 everytime I see a 🐐 or a goat photo or a GOAT: High on a hill was a lonely goatherd, layee-o-dl layee odl layee-oo Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd

🧠: What is that feeling vaguely in our middle section? I'm going to assume it's... ANXIETY! Prepare for attack! Me: It's 12:30. Here, have some cheese and bread and settle down. 🧠: 🧀 good. Sorry 'bout the panic. But, uh, already sent out troops. Nom nom. Me: *Deeeeep breathes* #adhd

Blue sky 💙 #bluesky

Went to see Conclave yesterday. In a theater. With people. All 20+ years older than us. Left, checked email, and had an invitation to join AARP. Well-played, AARP, well-played.

Henson: Get up! Get up! The other one left the house Me: But we could snuggle in the bed? Henson: NOOOO. Must go out. Must bark. Must be downstairs. Me: Okay, fine, we can get up and I can do some chores. (15 minutes later) No chores have been accomplished. #doggo #Hensonthedoodle

Bluesky feels like being at a new job. Everyone seems so nice. But we haven't seen Margaret in accounting come out of the bathroom with her skirt tucked in her underwear yet to judge everyone's true colors.

Today's adventure is a quest to discover the antidote to a cursed gauntlet that has brought about dragon's fire on my arm, but first, a stop to acquire the elixir of life.

Soup of the day: iced latte

Things I've learned in the past 24 hours: *There's a Patriotic Rosary sold by an apparent Catholic cult in Alabama that features a passage from Robert R. Lee. *I went to high school with Pete Hegseth. *The first thing is used by the Catholic Church in the city where Petey and I graduated.

In times of struggle, I find peace in feeling small. Standing with all those over the ages who have stopped to ponder the flowers defiantly blooming well into autumn. Listening for the voices of justice echoing in the garden. Mütter Museum medicinal garden. #mutterplants
