The Birthday Boy enjoyed a steak, an Old Fashioned, cake, and the adoration of his wife. ❤️ @ronandmel.bsky.social

Today is @ronandmel.bsky.social’s birthday, one of my favorite days of the year! A day when I try to explain in just a few sentences how magnificent he really is. He’s the closest thing to perfection and selflessness I’ll ever know, yet still makes me laugh like no one else. I love you, Baby! ❤️

RFK Jr. spits out a mouthful of asbestos and takes a swig from his sewage bottle. "I can already see children getting healthier," he gurgles, a bone from a roadkill bat lodged in his larynx. "The spike in measles deaths is a sign their mitochondrial vitality is spiking." His left ear drops off.

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

Gotcha Day for Dolly and Emmylou! Can’t believe we adopted them from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue so long ago. Grateful to still have our darling little floofs! 😍🥹

Well, they did it. Congress has eliminated funding for public media, deeply affecting the stations of LPM: WFPK, WFPL, WUOL & KY Center for Investigative Reporting. Not to mention my friends at PBS and KET. Now it’s up to ALL OF US! Please consider a donation to LPM.ORG ❤️

Kentucky has had 46 severe flooding or tornado events so far this year and it’s only July — public media and weather alerts have never been more important. While Republicans are turning their backs on rural Americans, I'm still fighting for every single Kentuckian. bit.ly/46cP8Yn

When your husband texts you a drama club photo he found from your yearbook: A) I clearly need to hide things better, B) This was the only part of high school I liked, and C) Big Hair Don’t Care.

@ronandmel.bsky.social’s nightly work situation. Sure, he can barely move his arms to type, but he refuses to move these clearly vital employees.

Had the best birthday dinner with this guy, who makes me feel special every day. And thanks for all your lovely birthday wishes— they meant more than you could possibly know! ❤️ @ronandmel.bsky.social

If anyone tries to snap a pic of me in a restroom, be prepared to have that phone slapped out of your hand, crushed into flushable pieces and sent down the toilet.

@ronandmel.bsky.social gets me. He made me a t-shirt with Scum of the Earth on it. 🤣 #IYKYK #WKRP #WelcomeScum #HoodlumRock

It’s John Taylor of Duran Duran’s birthday so it seemed like a good time to remind you of my shameless stalking/fan-girling at Bourbon & Beyond not so long ago. Still not sorry.

oh wow, they invented the perfect pair of sunglasses for people to wear while crashing their cybertrucks and blasting morgan wallen

Leave it to @ronandmel.bsky.social to remember what I forgot: last week was my 35th Radio Anniversary. Which means a) I’m old and b) I’ve never had a real job as an adult. Aside from a few bumps along the way, it’s been a pretty sweet ride. Bonus: met a cute boy along the way, too! 📻🎧

Celebrating the joy of another Derby gone by we weren’t forced to work! @ronandmel.bsky.social

If only there was a group of trained professionals who could assess disease outbreaks 💩

@lpm.org is a magnificent organization doing splendid work. All it takes is an email to protect stations like WFPK, WUOL & WFPL, as well as other public media outlets. #ProtectMyPublicMedia
