Casa Rinconada, Chaco Culture Historical National Park, Summer 2015.

Happy December 24th. This happy pony picture is for all the retail warriors who have withstood the last two weeks with fortitude and grace. I noticed and I am grateful. May you get some rest in the next 24 hours before the end of the retail year onslot begins.

Break it up and privatize. It's all in Project 2o25.

Praise the gods.

Heavens to Betsy!!! I have more than 2 pencils!!! Such extravagance! 😱

Gov Bob Ferguson has declared a state wide emergency. The chances of tRump approving our request for an emergency declaration? Zero chances, snowball's chance at any of our current mountain passes, null, nil, zilch. We are on our own.

Republicans have NO PLAN to fix skyrocketing premiums. Instead, they want to bring back high-risk pools when pre-existing conditions weren't protected, create more junk health plans that bury patients in debt, and find new ways to attack access to abortion.

There are not enough curse words for this shitfuckery. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It's almost Friday. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

I was a brand new pharmacist when the AIDS pandemic hit the fan. Initially we had no therapies to offer victims. I knew zidovudine by its acronym: AZT. My sister in law was diagnosed in 1988 during her second pregnancy. I had little patience for the rampant ignorance and hysteria.

My Senator has a sense of humor!

@altfda.altgov.info hey! Just got a bulletin from FDA.gov that ranitidine oral is coming back on the market. Who ever wrote it, left out if it is to be Rx only or will be OTC. Any more info? Thanks.

This.

All this kerfuffle about how suddenly BSN or MSN degrees are not "professional" degrees is just a ploy to screw more money out of people who want to become a nurse. It will push schools to offer only a "Doctorate" of Nursing just as been done to Law, Pharmacy and Phys Therapy; 6 year programs.

My sentiments this morning: Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.😡😠🤬🖕🖕🖕🖕

I'm going to give Albertsons/Safeway/Vons the benefit of the doubt and say they are circumventing the USDA's nasty reminder to not offer discounts to SNAP recipients. Granted you have to be a 'member' but one can make up a phone # to use.

Yes! Donate to a food bank in a person's honor.

Happy Halloween, from prehistoric cowboys.

My tax dollars are well spent. Bravo!

Mom's memorial service today. I belong to a huge mixed bag of family. Gotta keep things all ponies and rainbows. My tongue is gonna be sore from biting it. Will they be able to see the primal scream in my eyes as I listen to them drone on about how great everything is? 🐴🌈💙

The Seattle Times understood the assignment.

Snohomish, WA. One of many small towns showing up.

For a couple of hours starting at 5 pm PDT, I get to disengage from the fuckshittery that is our current Federal Government andxwach some serious baseball. ⚓️🛟⚾️ Go Mariners!

That's right Mikie, rally the haters against the American people. You just threw down the gauntlet to have even more citizens of the USA show up for their country on the 18th.

It. Is. Raining ☔. A little context: the 'wet' side of the Cascade Mountain range has been very, very dry. We in the PNW get a little twitchy and bitchy when there's too much sunshine. Also, those ICE goons seem to be from warmer climes. Maybe their masks will melt off with some good clean rain.

Mom slipped away in the dark last night. One of the last of the depression babies, she endured being raised by a single mom with 2 other siblings. Mom made sure we had the education for a good paying job to be financially independent from our spouses.

It can take up to a year for the FDA to approve a new drug manufacturing facility. Do we really want this process accelerated?

Such a teeny weenie peenie being defensive of their lost masculinity. They should take their problems to a therapist, not take it out on their employees.

Turn your public radio station, stream on line, sign up for their podcast. This is a MUST listen.

This needs to been seen again. "As of Sept 1st". Tricky.

4-H competitors at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. They get to ditch school for a week while competing against other riders from all over the state. After this I go find a deep fried something.

On the alarming aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder.

I have something to say about the Charlie Kirk murder. youtu.be/LyPdCw5Hcr0?...

Flags at half staff, really? FFS www.bbc.com/news/article...

I guess 6 of the Supremes didn't listen to this story this morning. www.npr.org/2025/09/08/n... Aren't they lucky they're all 'free and white". Well, 5 of 'em are....

I put this sticker on my rental car for two reasons: 1, to help find the one of thousands of white Nissan Altimas in SoCal, 2, to get a rise out of maggots. When I was returning the car, I removed it (it's a cling). The return agent asked what it was, asked for it and stuck it to his metal podium.

My turn to lessen the tedium for my 92 y.o. mom living in a SNF on hospice. She is a 2 person assist due to a hemorrhagic stroke almost a year ago. She watches westerns for the horses and makes me read and reread Ben K Green short stories. She is unwavering in her hatred of the 'orange turd'.

So this happened last night in San Diego's Outdoor Organ Pavilion at Balboa Park: a concert commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Beatles playing at Balboa Stadium. Standing room only. www.spreckelsorgan.org/summer-organ...

I had a great weekend but a tough day. Please send your best photo of what conservation means to you. Short week coming, all the same priorities. ❤️❤️

The thing about ungendered restrooms is that they always smell of urine. Put a urinal in them. Urinals are designed that way for a reason. Also, no toilet seat covers. Seriously? Ewe.

Anyone else from WA State? Please Like and Repost, so Ferguson sees it. @governorferguson.bsky.social Please do a severe gerrymander. Every seat counts.

I supported my sister (director of local group) and went to church for the first time in 2 years. 😳 L'Arche is a faith based (non clergy) int'l organization that provides group homes for developmentally disabled adults. Seattle celebrated 50 years of service yesterday. #L'ArcheUSA

Lost is on Netflix. I have been married to the same person for 42 years. He just announced that he is a "Lost" virgin. How did I not know this !?!

Rewatched "2 Weeks Notice" to escape into a ROMCOM. Totally forgot the orange fart blob had a speaking part. Alomst threwvp the DVD into the trash but maybe I can foist it off on a Maggot.

A TSUNAMI ADVISORY has now been issued for Washington state. If you are on the coast, stay OUT OF THE WATER & AWAY FROM THE SHORE, which includes HARBORS and MARINAS due to strong currents & dangerous waves. Details here: tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/... #wawx

Congress just rescinded 9 BILLION dollars in allocated spending. Where the fuck is all that money going to go instead?!?! I certainly don't trust the 'Treasury Dept' to handle it ethically.

While I wait my turn to finish Horse by Geraldine Brooks (12 weeks out on hold), I am re-reading Chaim Potok: My Name is Asher Lev and The Gift of Asher Lev. Timely, I think, considering what this nation is going through.
