Pete Hegseth insulting our military leaders and insisting on making top brass take fitness tests twice a year and do physical training every single day is one sure way to piss them off and make sure they won't comply if he tries to use the military against the people. Heckuva Job Petey!

Jane Goodall has passed away. She is one of my heroes. She protected animals and their habitat for her whole life. She understood that animals have intrinsic value. We could all stand to be more like Jane Goodall. www.huffpost.com/entry/jane-g...

Honestly, I love it. 70s fashion will always be some of my favorite. I only wish it could be made with natural fibers!

Where do we think Ted Cruz and JD Vance will vacation during the government shutdown? Maybe a closed beach like Chris Christie did while denying others the right to be on that beach?

"A lot of good can come from shutdowns. We can get rid of things we didn't want and they can be democrat things. Like cutting programs that they like. We'll be laying off a lot of people who will be affected and they're democrats. They're gonna be democrats."- Trump on the Republican shutdown.

Ronan Feral has been here 14 months. He was a true feral, trapped at over 8 weeks, so very, very skittish. I am the only person who ever sees him because he hides all day and only comes out at night but recently he's begun staying out on a cat bed during the day and today he groomed Comfort.

🧵I read a wonderful book called Revolutionary Optimism by Paul Zeitz and he described assessing four circles of service, circles that put Love at the center of each of our decisions, in this order, starting with,

An update on the Grindr account of Mike Johnson. I'm glad this man is taking steps to protect himself and that he has a lawyer. We saw how Lindsey Graham put a stop to the sex worker who outed him as a client. www.youtube.com/shorts/3gB-k...

I feel called out.

Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in the new democratic representative Adelita Grijalva of Arizona. In response, this man is threatening to release Mike's Grindr profile and IP address if Johnson doesn't swear her in by tomorrow. (Release The Grindr Profiles!) www.youtube.com/shorts/jEmG7...

Lorne Michaels never invited Carol Burnett to host. He never invited Betty White to host even though people begged for her. But he invited Trump to host and Elon Musk, two of the least funny people on the planet. Is Lorne Michaels misogynist? Yes, I think so. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/car...

How it started vs How it went: (These military leaders were NOT impressed by Pete Hegseth's "rally".)

What is something that brought you Joy today? For me, a friend took me with her to get a massage from a really good massage therapist. She knows I've been through it in 2025 & this gift made me feel better physically and mentally. It's been a decade since I had a massage. I am really grateful.

Republicans WANT this Republican Shutdown! Make sure they get all the credit for it. www.joemygod.com/2025/09/repu...

I am disappointed in Bill Burr for selling out and performing at that Saudi Arabian comedy festival. Pete Davidson too. His father literally died because of Saudi suicide bombers who likely acted with the knowledge of their government. These were some of the stipulations on comedians who performed:

A second kidnapped person who was shot at the ICE facility has died. Those poor people... That shooter wasn't shooting at ICE agents. He was shooting at kidnapped people. Shooting fish in a barrel.

Has anyone used an Amazon wishlist or a Chewy wishlist for prescription foods? My vet tells me it's not possible but my vet also has their own store and pushes me to buy from them, even though it costs more. The vet says we can't because the prescription is in my name but so is the wishlist/delivery

I found my Halloween costume!

My friend feeds the ferals where she lives. I remember when these "tuxies" were tiny babies a couple seasons ago and now they just think they're part of the colony.

Time to go walking through the mud

South African preacher Joshua Mhlakela has set a new date for the “Rapture”. Prepare for End Times next Tuesday.

What is something that brought you Joy today? I got three good hugs today from three different people! They were warm sweet heart-to-heart hugs too.

'Tis the season of Face Full of Spiderweb. Sorry Spider for the Godzilla-like destruction of your home and work! Sorry bout the squeal screaming too. Hope you enjoyed the dance.

These images are from Durham NC. North Carolinians still want the Epstein Files and still want consequences for rich pedophiles.

So the vet who shot up that Mormon church did it because a Mormon shot Charlie Kirk. Interesting. So much infighting on the right. They're going to destroy themselves and each other.

I think Halloween is getting close. Let me look for signs. Signs:

Bad Bunny is performing at the Superbowl. Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican. Puerto Rico is part of the United States. The people complaining about "a Spanish Superbowl" or a "foreigner" performing are ignorant racists.

Operation Valkyrie: a plan where a network of military officers and civilians from Germany's conservative and aristocratic elite, many who initially supported Nazi policies but became disillusioned by the regime's brutality & incompetence, sought to assassinate Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime.

"Eric Adams has served courageously and authentically for decades as a member of the NYPD, the NY State Senate & our 100th Mayor. During his time in office, crime is down, affordable housing up & NY has recovered from the COVID pandemic." - Hakeem Fucking Jeffries who has still not endorsed Mamdani

Me: "Look at you! You look very handsome! Let me take your picture. " Ronan:

This country is in the grips of a mental health crisis. A crisis that is going completely unaddressed. How are we going to - free people from cults? - address the neurosis and paranoia that lead to all bigotry? - address the obsessive compulsions that lead to hoarding money and power?

Jacob Chansley is suing Trump for $40 trillion dollars while also claiming that he, the Qanon "Shaman" is actually the president. The whole complaint is just batshit crazy. The right has a "crazy" problem. www.joemygod.com/2025/09/qano...

Himb's hamsum

There were five mass shootings in the U.S. today, two of them in North Carolina. Five. Mass. Shootings. And the day is not over.

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

Today I heard someone use the word, "Queerdos" and I have instantly fallen in love with this portmanteau. Adding to my personal lexicon.

This interview is very interesting and informative. youtu.be/8uwFyrvyqII?...

Hoof and Paw does elder horse rescue but sometimes they rescue another kind of critter too. Sable was rescued over a year ago, unable to eat but surgery saved her. She's doing great now and so wanted a young friend. Tinsel showed up this past week: www.facebook.com/share/v/1A77...

What is something that brought you Joy today? For me, at my firedance class, a new student unlocked today and just flowed. She was dancing and smiling and giggling and at one point even stuck her tongue out and then went, "HaHA!" It was fun to see her have that experience and be proud of herself.

Last night a troubled war vet with a TBI drove his boat by a NC music venue, shot into the crowd, killed 3 and shot 8 others. He was known for needing help. NC republicans just overrode vetos so we have no concealed handgun permits & they want to repeal all permits/mental health background checks.
