Hahhahaha omg

The world is still on fire, but I pulled the grass out of my flowerbeds, even though it was 1132 degrees outside. And a friend tried to make me gluten free pumpkin bread. Those are the things I hold on to.

I have native violets growing in my front yard. My neighbors get theirs sprayed by Chem Lawn (Maybe it's called Green Lawn now? Either way.) It's a tiny victory, but still a victory

Happy Friday from the Arkansas hellscape! In this week's news, an actress I like died "non suspiciously." Our elected representatives have passed a budget resolution that can only be achieved by cutting healthcare for the poor. And an unvaccinated child died from measles in Texas.

I've said for years that high school gyms are the best attended churches in the south. Maybe football fields, too

Remember when Trump said he wasn't going to gut Social Security? He lied.

Absolutely loved this piece from @charliejane.bsky.social about the magic of the Arrowverse (not Darhk/Constantine magic). And shout out to Legends of Tomorrow, one of the best shows in the past 10 years. buttondown.com/charliejane/...

I work with college students. Last week, I picked up an intestinal virus. I'm rethinking so many life choices right now.

After buying our first home together, we didn't have much left over this year for new decor. This tree is small, but it's holding 30 years of collected ornaments and memories.

This is the longer version of the thing I was trying to say, which still is by no means everything I have to say in any direction. Do not try to infer or assume based on what I haven't said.You can ask me questions if you'd like to know. I will answer if I have the energy and am in the mood.
