Our two puppy home disaster.

On this day before our protest, please acquaint yourself with Herschel Grynszpan. He succumbed to the temptation to use violence against a Nazi and ended up being the excuse for Kristallnacht. MAGA is praying for a triggering incident to assault us. Don’t go there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hersche...

I think that these so-called left-wing shootings are all fake. There are too many things that don’t add up at all. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but things just don’t add up at all.

You knew it was coming...

It turns out he was only talking about free speech he agreed with...

I honestly wonder why Canada doesn’t just welcome in U.S. citizens with the education and talent to expand Canadian business. If you want to weaken the U.S. you should invite the brains and talent to leave.

I’m just here to say that an iridescent green skinny little fly landed on me today and sent me down a rabbit hole looking for what it was. It was a “long-legged fly”, a harmless little pollinator. Gorgeous metallic green like a hotrod! This is the sort of thing that makes me happy: Learning!

This cool rock is basalt with little olive-green dots with crystals in it.

Zephyr puppy loves his patient big bro.

I do love where I live.

Crabby old Artemis got charmed by this kitten and still babies him even though he is bigger than her. 🥹

The world is too mean and sad for me. Over 60 years of feeling like an alien in the world. I remain tethered thanks to people and animal family, but it is hard. Why is it so awful?

Is there a difference between a couch, a sofa, and a davenport? And why is a vanity both that thing you sit in front of to put on makeup but also what the bathroom sink is in?

Today I dropped an edible in the bathroom and couldn’t see it and I was panicking because we have dogs who will eat anything sweet. My cat watched me look for it and then hooked a paw under the vanity and threw the gummy at me. Then he bit my toe.

Best leaders in my lifetime.

Shout out to the many folks who cannot protest because of disabilities. It’s hard. Stay positive.

I sometimes wonder if being a bit different keeps you from being racist. Like I never saw my tribe as “White people.” I saw my tribe more as the polite oddballs of any race or creed or color or gender. Why would MY PEOPLE be defined by skin color?

This was a sorely missed opportunity

My wife was cleaning the storage room and I opened the door to see this…

I watched about 20 upcoming movie trailers today. They were all incredibly violent. There are many violent movies I enjoy, but ALL these movies were horror, blood, and monsters. I wonder what that says about us?

#dogs. Zephyr digging in his toy box.

Today I thought my wife and I could get a king size mattress to the dump. Well we did. But it included me and a dog riding it down the stairs. Me falling down outside. Us renting a u-haul, and both of us exhausted.

Sometimes I wonder what we lose when we toughen up in order to survive the meanness of the world. “Grow a thicker skin” people say when you feel hurt. But callouses don’t just reduce pain, they also reduce nice sensations.

Sometimes I just want coffee. No milk or syrup or cold foam or stuff. Just coffee. Good coffee.

Small joys are actually the most important things in life.

#kitties #cats Kane wants to grow up to be a dog.

When you lose a pet who isn’t old enough for you to even be grateful they died peacefully, it’s awful. It’s like someone ripped part of you away and you are left with leaky eyes and a lump in your throat all the time.

Bella got suddenly very sick and, after a visit to the emergency vet and exploratory surgery, we said goodbye. I am broken. She was just a year old. I wish you could have all known my goofy, protective, mama’s girl.

Accurate!

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

It’s important to remember that MANY folks could not attend these protests due to work, previous commitments, illness, or disability. And many others didn’t know about them!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Massive turnout at today's #HandsOff! rally against Musk and Trump in St. Paul, Minnesota 🔥🔥🔥

Ashland, Wisconsin showed up for their #Handsoff protest. A very small town up on Lake Superior with the lake still half-frozen, but folks came out. 150 -200 people conservatively.

This is Spring where I live. 😂

#cats This is Henri La Pouf. He is very old and thin and probably only has weeks left on the Earth, as he is in pain these days. He has been a good kitty all his life. His kitten pals made his last weeks happy.

Elon Musk cannot understand why people don’t like him. So he tells himself that anyone who opposes him must be “paid protesters”. Since he has to buy friends, elections, baby mama’s and even kids he thinks everything and everyone is transactional. It is not. Our hatred of Elon is free. #ProudBlue
