It’s just so wonderful to see some good news.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Voted by mail over the weekend. We live outside the city limits so I can’t vote for mayor but if the SovCit wins I’m gonna be pretty mad.

Enjoying my first eggnog coffee of the season. Sorry, arteries I still love you

Y’all I thought Welcome to Derry was a prequel to the Derry Girls.

Who wants to drive into town with me? I’ll buy the coffee if you can harmonize.

At the theater last night with Babette and before the show she nudged me and whispered "the ladies next to me are sharing baby pics" We laughed quietly together about grandbabies for a bit. Suddenly Babette said "Mama WHAT IS THAT" and I peeked and this is what that grandma was looking at. iykyk

Evergreen.

Y'all, as a kid who grew up food-insecure, plz don't do this. There is nothing more demoralizing as a little kid than being reminded of your family's poverty. We looked forward to Halloween bc it was the 1 chance to be like every other kid and get access to treats the food banks never gave out.

This is so stupid. I, an aging white lady, had several aunties who were not related to me - and I know I'm not alone. It's absolutely a thing and anyone pretending to be outraged by this is being disingenuous.

I just realized it's only four days to chex mix season :D

Maybe I’m having anxiety BECAUSE I have constant chest pain. Did you ever think of that, doc? Huh?!

I thought of this day yesterday when I drove to the office and had to look at leaves without my Pearl. It wasn’t as fun.

George informed me yesterday that our insurance policy is going up by 318/month but bc of the union contract we only pay 20.00 of that. I guess his work pays the rest? idk but I’m grateful for the union

I’m ready for another season of For All Mankind. 🚀

Rainy morning, cafe au lait on the table next to me. Puppy in my lap (mostly). New book to read. In a bit I’m going to the new bread stand up the street to get a fresh loaf of bread that I will eat at lunch w some olive oil. Happy Friday.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

today in memes for the middle aged

For some reason algorithms have been showing me people who are nostalgic for 90s Seattle which is so funny to me bc when I worked for the Seattle Times in the 80s they ran a regular column by a guy complaining that Seattle was changing too much (KBO=keep the bastards out). Plus ça change I guess.

Would you really like to live in a society where you have no responsibility and no freedom, no choice, only the false option of obedience to the law, or disobedience followed by punishment? Would you really want to go live in a prison?

Mika is much happier with her onesie so we’ve ditched the cone.

Me. It was me.

When my therapist says 'i want you to picture a healing light'

I’ve been really busy lately. (No emergency it was just spay time - she’s doing great.)

Jimjam morning.

Oh it’s absolutely Puyallup.

I had the Novavax shot 2.5 days ago and have had zero side affects aside from a big sore bump on my arm which is still there but I’m not complaining. 🧡💉

oh my god i miss her so much

Oct. 7, 1925: The Lutheran Church refuses to endorse blue laws to restrict recreation and business activity on Sundays. It adds: "No ecclesiastical body worthy of the name Christian has the right to call on the state for assistance in carrying out the mission of the church."

I watched a scary documentary last night so George and I watched the Mexican food episode of great British Bakeoff as a mental palate cleanser and I’m glad to know I could ace the taco technical challenge. The only GBBO assignment I could ever complete. 🌮🌮🌮

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵 First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.) go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

It bugged me for days who Dudley North reminded me of.

Flaming Geyser Park is still here - but the natural gas has burned off so much it's not a geyser anymore, it's more like a little candle. The times I've been there the staff had left lighters at the site so if the "geyser" went out anyone can relight it.

Quote with your first anime.

Onion soup for lunch on the first rainy day of fall. 🧅🧡

I lvoe fall but I’m not a Halloween girlie. Give me rain, fog, and autumn leaves but skip me with the spooky stuff. I know I’m only one of maybe three people in this country who don’t like Halloween but oh well. I’m happy if y’all are having fun tho

the wrong people have imposter syndrome

When a video caption says "watch to the end" I immediately scroll away.

“Am I the only one who… “ There are eight billion people in the world. The answer is no.

Happy birthday Discovery! 🥳🎉 It’s been eight years since Star Trek returned to television and the success of Discovery paved the way for even more! 💖🖖🏻

Shout out if you were bodily assumed into heaven. I want details.

Blueberry muffins for Hobbit Day.

As a lifelong Episcopalian who agreed to be “saved” at vacation bible school when I was 7 bc they really talked it up and I was curious and extremely polite - do I make the rapture cut or not?

I’m playing “It is fog or smoke” again this morning.
