reason 1001 why i have not once regretted cancelling my subscription to the L.A. Times

one month gone from me, except in spirit, which lives everywhere around me and in my heart. my beloved Charlotte, adopted by me 1/28/2010, died 11/3/2025. it is believed she was 3, possibly 4 when i adopted her. ❤️‍🩹

i will forever grieve my parents' deaths. i will be forever grateful they did not suffer to live through the Covid lockdown, as both passed while in assisted living. and now i am grateful they will not suffer to live though this.

just came across a post regarding information needed about an electrical device. having repaired such a device myself, after a phone chat with a repair guy. i know a thing or two, but the poster limited who can respond. i get why megaphones limit who can respond. still 😹

They don't care if we live or die. Great Lakes Cheese Co.'s shredded cheese sold at major retailers, including Target, Walmart, and Aldi, has been recalled in 31 states and Puerto Rico. The cheese was recalled on Oct. 3 for containing metal fragments. On Dec. 2, the FDA updated the risk level. 🌱

i think i am a little fragile today because tomorrow marks one month since my wonderful and beloved Charlotte passed away. this day is one month since our last day together, one we spent mostly at home. me grading, Charlotte nearby, mostly watching me. i think she knew death was coming near. 1/2

an acquaintance and neighbor i've known since the 90s said something both judgmental and mean to me. i spoke up for myself, and i think she heard me, but she offered no apology. have to admit, the confrontation took the stuffing out of me. just needed to say this

laundry is washed, dried, put away, and the bed has been remade and towels hung. i always feel better about myself when laundry day is limited to a single day, lol.

Please continue to share Melia. She’s located in Hempstead, NY. In the shelter 813 + days, NO fault of her own. There are funds available for training for her adopter or reputable rescue group. Let’s make some holiday magic! She’s a gem waiting for her human. ws.petango.com/webservices/...

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Donald Trump’s disgraceful attacks on Minnesota’s Somali community are injecting more of his poisonous racism into our beloved home state. Hearing him single out our people based solely on their race and country of origin is downright disgusting.

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

Republicans are a cancer on the nation and the world

i will be happy once i am there, but i am in no mood to go to campus to teach my night class.

One month from today, 22 MILLION Americans will see their health care premiums rise by an average of 114% thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans.

Well, maybe if your entire profession and industry weren’t filled with morally bankrupt hacks endlessly chasing clicks and ad revenue while presenting themsleves as having integrity and a devotion to the truth, people wouldn’t be so disillusioned about the “honor” of journalists.

a shirt i "lost" has been found as of a few minutes ago and only because the "high" temperature for the day has dropped, prompting me to open a dresser drawer i'd not had the commonsense to search. @maudegertrude.bsky.social, you were right. the shirt did in fact turn up. 😹

in memory of Spider, Pete the beat, and Johnson and Johnson, among the all too many, among the all forever missed

this morning, my fave live view cam is showing a winter wonderland of about 7 inches of snow on the ground. the town where i grew up took in about 5, so more than enough to cover a wonderful sledding hill that's, little doubt, already covered with kids over and over rocketing their way down

still miss Edwards (Jerrika Hinton) from Grey's Anatomy. been binging seasons 11/12.

the local electric light bicycle club just pedaled past my house! so happy when they ride down my block.

hooray! the tree lights have come on. snow is still falling, but the accumulation seems minimal (the temp is only now starting to drop). super pretty view. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADsY...

two more dogs in snow sighted on the live cam. this time a big one and a tiny one each with their person, each of them playing as much as walking along the sidewalk ❤️ also, whoops, pickup driver, allow oncoming traffic to pass before you left turn into their lane!

oh, no a truly wonderful playwright ad astra, Tom Stoppard

never give up! never surrender! Sia is a miracle ❤️ so is HerdMom ❤️

and I just spotted my first dog walker, a man i think (figure was swaddled in a puffy coat and hat) walking two large dogs, who were clearly delighted to be out on a snow walk. love so much live watching this live cam as the camera angle, field of view, and depth of field truly mimic human vision

enjoying very much this morning the feed from the Greendale, WI live camera facing Broad Street, as it is providing a lovely view of snow falling. have seen a few pedestrians on the sidewalks, but no one walking a dog just yet. but there will be!

this is my first holiday without my beloved little girl, Charlotte. i am grateful today for the many, many years she was my most wonderful companion, we traveled cross-country, we visited California's mountains, deserts, and shores, but mostly we kept each other company. i miss her every day. ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

this is appalling for reasons well beyond Elaine Miles played, as i am sure many remember, Marilyn Whirlwind on Northern Exposure. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

yet another lesson in Republican depravity and indecency. they had all the time in the world to safeguard the victims www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

THREAD. 3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

I’m glad to see updated reports and praying for the two National Guard members who are in critical condition. My heart is with their families as they go through this unthinkable pain.

I'll never get over Bob Woodward, in the early covid days, taping an interview with Trump where he admitted how dangerous the virus was. And instead of save lives, he saved it all for his book.

Please repost Jaeger. So many good dogs in need of good homes. He will be euthanized because his human never returned for him.

I will take this dumb take as a flimsy springboard to show the absolutely exquisite apple pie that my friend made of me and my husband for our wedding
