I went up to my parents house today and expected, as normal, to see one of the Newfs on what I call sentry duty. Nope, one of the outdoor cats. Sitting there as if I had somehow failed just by walking in the gate. Looking like I'd just told her I left my badge at home and forgotten the password.

My husband tried to tell me that wasn't a Girl Scout sash that it was just a green piece of fabric. I broke down the insignia I could identify and their meanings for him. I'm willing to bet at least $5 I'm right.

One of the mail carriers who comes into my work to use the bathroom took issue with the "8647" sign in the back window of my truck. Started talking about how we don't understand how great we have it here, etc. I was very adult about it and restrained myself because I was on the clock and in uniform.

The pictures I got on the game camera show one neighborhood kitty coming out for water, so that's good. It looks okay. 😀

I really want to quit my job, because I don't want to fund the new administration or contribute to Social Security that I will never see. But I have bills to pay that won't allow for barter. ☹️

My husband saw one of the neighborhood cats acting oddly, so we put some food and water out for it, and set the game camera up to see if it's possibly hurt. I hope it's okay. 😟

Someone keeps leaving mini Jesus plastic statues around the public areas of my work. So I ordered some mini Cthulhu figures. At least now he'll have someone to hang out with.

GenghisCon was so much fun! It was our first year going, but I'd like to go again next year. There were so many games, and all the people I encountered were friendly. I bought a lot of books, a couple of new games, and have decided that credit card regret is an issue for Monday.

I feel really bad about leaving Atea. We're only going to be gone a couple of days, and I know she's in good hands with my cousin, but she's elderly and I worry.

I finished "Nine Goblins" by @tkingfisher.com today. If you haven't read it, for what my opinion is worth, I suggest you do. It's amazing! Honestly wasn't expecting to cry at the end, but it happened. That may not happen for everyone, but you've been warned. Ursula Vernon is an outstanding author! ❤️

We're going to Genghiscon this year, instead of Mensa Mindgames. Mindgames has made it difficult for me to sign up, since I go as a guest and am not a member. We've never done Genghiscon, so I'm hoping it will be a good time.

It's raining here! We may get some measurable precipitation tonight. 😁

Somebody has a Habsburg jaw kink and wants to bring it back. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02...

I want one of the European nations to call in the debt the U.S. owes them. One of the smaller amounts will do fine, but just enough so that the government will have to focus on something and perhaps stop executing citizens and building death camps.

@bennet.senate.gov Do you regret your vote to confirm Doug Collins for the tole of Secretary of Veterans Affairs?

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work: "Can I see your I.D.".

I hadn't heard this song before today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljgd...

Methos to Duncan: "Remember, Highlander, live, grow stronger. Fight another day.". Some days, that living part is really damn hard.

People are standing in front of the local Planned Parenthood with maga hats on and signs that say "Honk if you support life.". I stopped and made a donation in their honor. They stopped me and asked if I wanted a free rose. I told them that I just donated in their honor. I think I upset them. 😁

I made a list of everyone on my block who is a registered member of the republican party. I do believe in helping our neighbors, except when they vote for rotten, awful people and policies.

🧵A lot of us think TFG wants to impose martial law. The United States has never seen large scale martial law, so what would that look like for us? Depending on how long it lasted, I believe the economy would completely collapse, the numbers of homeless would at least triple, people would die of

There's some days I really want to go swimming, but I work customer facing retail and the last thing I want to have happen is for me to run into one of my customers in the pool or locker room. Does that sound dumb?

When you have an appointment with a new mental health practitioner and they comment on your physical health aspects in such a judgmental fashion that the only thing to do is stop and get fast food on the way home.

I didn't have a new "Golden Age of Piracy" on my bingo card. www.ksl.com/article/5142...

One of my co-workers is strongly suggesting I purchase a firearm, learn every in and out of it and go target shooting. Just in case things go further south. I don't generally have an issue with most guns, they just aren't my thing. IMO, I'm support staff. Quartermaster, laundress, cook, etc.

We received new price tags last Wednesday, the usual day for sale changes. Almost everything that had been on sale for over a year came off sale. Some things went up in price, even if they are on sale. Some of the cigarette varieties went up $2 a pack. Gas was $2.16 when I left on Saturday.

My mom doesn't stay really informed, and as such doesn't understand why I detest some people so easily. Things like this are why I detest people. I am glad it was repaired and opened on time, but just the act. I'm sad and angry and this wasn't even in my state. mynews4.com/news/local/r...

I tried to go to the cemetery in Yuma to visit my grandpa's grave before I went to see the family. I stopped at a gas station in Yuma and asked for directions to the cemetery. The person gave a vague idea of where to go. I spent 20 minutes driving around before I said screw it.

I don't know how I hadn't heard "My Axe" by Insane Clown Posse before yesterday, but I love it! I got this sticker at a Ally the Piper show.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Should I be concerned?

All of my good cousins who have kids now have a copy of this book. I sent a text to let my last cousin know it was on the way, because I was afraid if it arrived before he got home, his wife would throw it away.

I was watching part of Noem's testimony before a committee earlier today and was again disgusted that nobody is holding her accountable for her lies and unlawful actions/orders. We know she perjured herself, where is the charge?

It is really windy here today. It's been blowing a bit over 20mph for a while and isn't supposed to die down for another couple of hours. Thank all benevolent spirits, deities, scientists, etc for anxiety meds.

You will be visited by three spirits

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I always feel really bad about setting mouse traps. I try to do it only for places I absolutely don't want to see them, like the kitchen counters or by the fireplace. Because of the way the house is, there's no good way of keeping them out, but I don't like killing things. Am I ultra weird?

Salvation army had bell ringers in front of stores today. Just a reminder that they fed law enforcement at an ICE facility earlier this year. Let's keep those buckets empty!

@profanity.accountant How'd I do?

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 why, when trump is being an asshole to a reporter, why don't the other reporters ask him about it? Why don't they ask him hard questions? We need some goddamned legitimate answers from the asshole.

A movie that takes place where your from. State, WarGames. Locally, a small piece of A League of Their Own.

Just a heads up, this guy appears to be a right winger, and not a reasonable one. @frankymfran.bsky.social

CW: She has a large sore on her paw. It's under vet treatment. Atea demanded turkey tax. She wasn't willing to wait for me to break off a piece.

My husband is willing to give Greene kudos for admitting that she participated in divisive politics. I am not so forgiving.

Summoning turtle and tortoise keepers of Bluesky! I’m doing an article for Reptiles about popular small breeds of turtles of tortoises. If you have one, what’s their care and interaction like? How big do they actually get? 🐢

Let's make him famous. Please repost relentlessly.

💙☃️ Well, there is so much excitement about the Anipal Holiday Bazaar that we are releasing our schedule a couple of days early! You'll see it's jam-packed full of fun with both daytime and evening EDT hours to give most pals around the world a chance to pop in! We hope to see you at #AnipalHB 💙☃️

If a recipe calls for dried currants, does it mean actual currants or zante currants, which are technically raisins? #baking

It's paywalled, but the headline was enough to piss me off.
