You guys will never guess what MLB douchebag John Rocker is up to these days.

Update: Daniel brought in homemade cinnamon rolls!

Today I realized (thanks FB memories! the one thing FB is good for) that it is my 17th work anniversary and of course I have outlived almost everyone who hired me / my board so What Kind of Cake Should I Pick up?

Have you seen Blueberry 🫐 lately?

I wanted to report that our neighbors Mario and Nori just came by with a Christmas gift--one of those fire blankets. I am so touched and honored-I am sure they bought them all for their kids and grands, and we got one too. I'mma knit them some hats now. I love my community.

Godspeed Delilah. This is what A Little Extra is for, to give a little extra for unexpected vet bills & shelter needs. If you can make a contribution to build up our coffers for the new year, it would be greatly appreciated! Having $2500 or so in the account allows us to rotate out some $ as needed

Fatniss and I survived the first half of the dentist. We go back NEXT Wednesday and then all this deferred maintenance should be done. Funny story-my insurance doesn't cover it because of reasons but they charged me just the copay. So we'll see what happens next week.

Fatniss and I are on an adventure

You know people are allowed to post dumb shit, sometimes bad takes, and they shouldn't be bullied off BlueSky--just like you're allowed to overreact to some innocuous nonsense, and lose your shit over it and still go on with your day. Stop holding certain ppl to a higher imaginary purity standard.

This is for @isamiscreant.bsky.social - how about this dog?

Attention @thegoldenratio4.bsky.social cousins

Here's a goofy video of Rufus Russo Rojas playing tennis ball, where we have two balls and he just runs back and forth switching them. After the first two throws, he keeps going down the hill and I just stand there and pretend I want one of the balls.

Is "optionality" an actual word?

Two things from this morning 1. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social Hasan is on Velshi right now!!!! If you're not subscribed to @zeteo.com you should consider it. and 2. Jackie Alemany from The Weekend morning show needs to be on the Weekend Primetime and replace Elyse Jordan.

I need this, don't I? amzn.to/3YTd7H5 -- also, for FOTS--there's a highland cow one in this link too! You all need to branch out in your inflatables to other holidays!

Did I say Cuba? Yes, yes I did.

Good morning from Laddie Marmalade, his dusty fake fur mouse and the fact that we seem to have attacked Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro? WTAF.

Have you seen Waffles lately?

Reminder!! Reminder!! Reminder!! Yes-you say your rabbits before you say Happy New Year. It is always THE FIRST THING YOU SAY on the FIRST MINUTE of the FIRST DAY of the MONTH.

Good morning

On the 🛣️ again

Early Reminder! Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit any time after midnight December 31-Jan 1! For Good Luck ALL MONTH LONG

Finally home. I hate that fucking drive so much. I am honestly looking forward to a time when I have no reason to do it.

OMG the wind.

"Although the data have been encouraging, the compelling opportunities we see in our late‑stage pipeline led us to focus our investments where we believe we can deliver the greatest benefit for patients and shareholders," said CEO Jan van de Winkel. 😐

On the road again!

Good morning from Connecticut.

I forgot to post a picture

Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla is mad we didn't let him drive but duder is on the good travel drugs

Happy Boxing Day from Laddie Marmalade who already lost all 4 of his fake fur mouses under the fridge. And now is sulking.

In other news, Jose stopped by to say Feliz Navidad just as Ben and I were fixing our plates for dinner so I slid my filet onto another plate, added potatoes and green beans and he joined us. Clown Shoes is now his new bestie-- he calls him Paysito (little clown.) Good time. 🎄❤️

I have spent the last week making and baking the holiday treats for my childhood that I would make with my mother every year. And I suspect she won't remember any of them or the time we spent together assembling our little plates for the neighbors and friends, and I will be devastated.

Merry Christmas everyone, from Laddie Marmalade who seems to have opened his presents of fake fur mice before we got up this morning.

The grocery store parking lot was far more batshit than the actual grocery store. Just an FYI if you are going out today-use the back entrances and exits into whatever shopping center you're visiting. You will thank me later

I have other good news; it's Sumo Citrus time. And they are delicious.

Update: Our luck seems to have held out! That *was* my last diagnostic mammogram! Happy weekend, all. I love you.

5 years ago, before Fatniss came to be my constant companion, I was at another facility. If our luck holds, this will be the last diagnostic mammogram we'll need. We have some infusions in the new year and then, Hippo 🦛 willing, we are released back into the world in May.

Hey @jeneye127.bsky.social I thought you might like this open.substack.com/pub/thebroke...

This is unhinged.

Every time @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov vote with Republicans when they don't have to, I make a note of it. When they've voted with this administration more than they haven't they've lost my vote because we might as well have both of them be replaced byRepublicans -1/2

Power is back. I have made a batch of lemon muddy buddy mix with a terrible recipe that I had to tweak on the fly and now a batch of gingerbread cookie dough to roll out on Friday (or maybe tomorrow night) and maybe another cookie dough to put in the fridge

Marj has done some really lovely work for many of us on here-I have the nicest bookmark of Ladybug (and yesterday was the 7th anniversary of Ladybug Delivery Day!) so follow, like and submit a pic!

The universe is conspiring against me. I have been trying to take leave for Dec but I was too nauseated to do much of anything, then I had to go into the office to do some stuff so I lost any momentum, and now today--POWER IS OFF. I still don't have my tree up; I'm so discouraged. I hate everyone.

There was a tortoise at the mall today.

Update

Important Day today! It is @thegoldenratio4.bsky.social MOM @jengolbeck.bsky.social's Birthday!

Nicolle and Eddie tonight. All the tears with them.

What a shit weekend.

Update: Swissmas was a disaster. I'm not gonna throw them under the bus because I love the bakery and the store, but definitely won't be back for one of their special events ever again.

So much terrible news this morning but here is Blueberry with a biiiig stretch and a tail scramble
