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.

Sinclair Broadcasting runs the Krusty Noom HHS commercial with the CECOT pics every GD night during GeoPardy. God I hate them.

A pro-'wrestling' match at the WH. Jeeezuz f*ck7ng Kryst.

Dear Idaho, you reap what you sow. Live by the sword, die by the sword. If I was a firefighter, I'd move to another state.

Here is the team, Southsound Suckafish (Olsen 30), heading north from Tacoma, competing in the WA360 boat race. Heather Tweedy, skipper. They left Pt. Townsend yesterday and haven't stopped sailing. They have go through two more mandatory 'gates' before heading back to Pt. Townsend for the finish.

Tomorrow is the WA360 adventure race in the Salish sea. A welcome respite from all the current dumbfuckery. #WA360 #NorthwestMaritimeCenter #PortTownsend #R2AK

When is Congress going to cut off Krusty Noom's credit for money to run her disgusting CBP commercial? 🤬

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone. Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation. Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

$tephen M!ller can f*ck right off.

Are you ready to rock 'n' roll?

@altnoaa.bsky.social I see what you did there! 🥰

Tahoma or Mt Rainier to the immigrants.

Salmon berries. There are red ones too. Not sweet; the first berries that are ripe in the Pacific NW.

Last hike before my work assignment ends. Wanted to see some old growth forest before it's all sold off to the highest bidder. Hoh Rain Forest, Olympic Nat'l Park, WA State, USA.

@realdollyparton.bsky.social thinking of you as you move through your grieving process.💙

Low tide, Rialto Beach, Olympic Nat'l Park.

I will not be a Christian, but you are welcomed to be one. That's a big part of the promise of our country.

Remember the fallen this weekend.🇺🇸

The podcast The Daily by NYT today, gave me an opportunity to scream fuuuuuuck youuuu at Ross Douthat. Apparently he's 'good friends' with Stephen Miller. Figures.🤢🤮

Don't be judgy: in 1938 my grammy had to leave her 3 kids (3,2 and 1) w/ her parents and get a job 83 mi. away. Her spouse had left her. She had no car & becuz this was rural Colo. no public trans. She didn't see her kids for 18 mo. This is why we have SNAP benefits today.

Just spent a few days off the grid at the BLM managed Mattole Beach Campground in NoCal. While there, a BLM ranger asked if we'd mind him weed wacking some of the sites. He said they were short staffed and he didn't know if the next requisition for gasoline would be honored. @altdoi.altgov.info

Humanity has lost a superbly supreme humanitarian, who sought to span the chasms that divide humankind as well as the walls that obviate peace. May his spirit of love forever permeate the hearts and saturate the souls of posterity.

After I finish my sheet cake I'm going to spend some quality time with a horse.
