An empire’s decline has never been this avoidable or completely goddamn stupid

The most wonderful time of the year

Izzy doesn’t mind being a homebody and ducking the tourists

Can’t talk, chewing

Hard to imagine when the pendulum will ever swing back but I have to believe it will one day

Izzy espied some ducks on the morning walk and was absolutely fascinated. Curiosity can be about the simple things.

Isidora is here for a timeline cleanse if needed

This ain’t the civil war they want

I’m not glad he’s dead, I’m sorry for how he spent his life and how he’ll be valorized when he should be forgotten

The science doesn't matter, expertise doesn't matter, nothing matters to that sundowning orange fuck. The only thing that will matter is that his pet freak, RFK Jr., looks bad on the teevee and by extension makes HIM look bad on the teevee.

Ask me about selling cocaine and morphine syrup for fun and profit

This is agony. Dementia is so wicked. You see flickers sometimes.

Sometimes I see someone older than my parents in better shape mentally or physically than my folks and I catch myself resenting this person even though I know this is irrational and unkind. Parents aging can’t be prepared for.

Troops ain’t gonna do anything but follow orders. It’s a mistake to think they’ll save us.

The snuffle mat is a success. Next, puzzles.

Delay a flight three times and then force us to sit and sit after boarding. Fun. Americans don’t get enough leeway for being untraveled. We’re a bigass country and when we do try as often as not the entire process sucks.

The tech bro at the airport restaurant bar who keeps referring to the Washington franchise by their old name is on the forever shit list

I am intrigued and also uniquely distressed. Especially since I know for a fact dogs can see and hear plenty we can’t.

Today she’s three (approximately but this is what we’ve decided on given best available data). And she’s also as impatient as I am.

Someone else spotted my doppelgänger again. The guy even smokes, which makes this all the more unsettling and convincing.

Downtown doggo

If someone offered him a Nobel if he gave Alaska away yeah he’d do it

Sneak peak at my minifig Pride festival...😁 @justjoshinnh.bsky.social I got the rainbow bat wings on Izzy. Not permanent, stuck on w/ museum putty. 🤷🏼 🤣 I'm still placing figs & such so it may be a couple days yet..

Please ease into your morning. Office manager’s orders.

Living in age where nothing’s unimaginable ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be

Great: while editing WIP got a couple new ideas that will strengthen the story. Also will require even more rewrites. The glamorous life of the unpublished author. No one made me be a writer. No one made me be a writer. No one…😑🤦‍♂️😭📝

Happy Sunday all.

Our loneliness can only be fixed by ourselves. Throwing a substance or person into our internal black hole is wickedness.

"The brightest jewel in all my crown Will be my queen, will be my queen The brightest jewel in all my crown My queen will ever be."

Women are not rehabilitation centers for shitty men

My hottest take is that those who insist on labeling themselves empaths often give me the ick and then prove to be very weird people, at best

After that he has eternity to look forward to and no, I don’t believe he will enjoy himself.

“Is your calendar accurate” no I fucking lie about my availability for funsies

Timeline cleanse

And just like that my inexplicable lower back pain disappeared. I’d love to know what I did to cause it but suspect it’s what happens after you turn a certain age and the warranty expires.

She’d be a nobody without him.

Tulsi is his legacy. Rigged and stolen nonsense is part of his legacy, too. He’s never made any situation better.

I really need to stop thinking of it as my spot

Okay she’s willing to admit it’s time to start winding down

Read a definition of faith recently that called it “graciously accepting the unknown,” and that seems like it could work

I fully support all of the racist homophobes moving to Russia.

Superman ruled. Izzy is basically Krypto.

Sean Bean kept his distance from me as we both smoked, made eye contact, nodded, and did the “yeah know who you are but gonna leave you alone” nod. Dude looked like he fully expected to get struck by a meteorite any second.

It’s important for adults to show childlike glee, it helps paint the world

List, no list, smoking gun or no smoking gun, these people will never see justice. Not in my lifetime and not in this life. I’m sorry for anyone who still expects otherwise.

I give side eye to the dudes who want Epstein details. They give me QAnon creeps and yes, there’s overlap. These guys aren’t just interested. Their interests are prurient.

Last one cuz my hand hurts now, @justjoshinnh.bsky.social hoping Izzy isn't thinking of eating that Unicorn poo.. I'm pretty sure unicorn poo gem stones aren't edible! 😂🤣 Also, all the parts of the parade I've finished so far

The only good thing about the fireworks barrage is Izzy’s sleeping right through it all. Completely unfazed.

First draft WIP done. Bittersweet blues. Gonna go sip a Coke and debate how long I let it sit before beginning to edit.
