I voted for @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social and moments like this, cement my resolve and confirm that I made the right choice.

Sitting in a chair. On this autumn afternoon. My front yard is surrounded by nature. A wee woodpecker pulls a tree apart, one tiny sliver at a time. It's only concern, to exist. Each speck of tree pulp, a reminder of its conviction.

Betty has a skin condition, which on top of a thin coat of hair, she gets oily and stinky. We can't bathe her as often as we'd like, so this is a blessing. Plus, it's calm down her itching. Smells good in a mild way as it neutralizes the funk.

KIYAC — the Kat for Illinois Youth Advisory Council — is putting on its first campaign event! Come get a free car wash, drop off your winter clothes, and pick up a yard sign at Double Clutch Brewing Company in Evanston til 10:30!

Donald Trump, his entire regime and his acolytes who are still sucking him off, will be tried for crimes against humanity and found guilty and duly penalized based on their level of involvement. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Also, Release the Epstein Files, you child fuckers!

Walt Disney started Disney World on 27,000 acres of mangrove swamps and citrus farms in central Florida. He drained it and removed all the native species so that 10 million people in the first year open, could ride in a teacup.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Once again, out into the world to support local performing arts. Tonight's adventure is a horror/camp musical. Pics to follow.

I appreciate this post overtly.

Ever since people have been able to digitally monetize themselves, their self-esteem rests solely on like$ and comment$ and reshare$. These things have become their capital both literally and figuratively. Attention economics is not working out so well, not really.

It makes my heart hurt and my eye twitch when people try to use multisyllabic words and do so incorrectly. They butcher the pronunciation and/or use one that doesn't mean what they think it means.

Downtown Pittsburgh earlier this evening. Nice night for it. We went to Harris Theater, which back in the ultra rust belt days, screened XXX movies. Liberty Ave was the red light district. The theater is now an art house cinema.

So, this is one possible option for a side gig, sort of. www.goodnatureprogram.com Get paid to take a poop

One of my favorite French restaurants is reopening after a catastrophic plumbing event flooded two floors. We have a reservation later this month and cannot wait!

So much chaos, just to protect monsters in the Epstein files.

At last I fully understand what my long dead uncle meant by, "We're in the soup now." Release the Epstein Files, you whiny, fucking cunts.

I know spicy chicken nuggets and extra crispy tater tots won't solve the world's problems, but for tonight, I eat what gives me a sense of childhood comfort.

I'm oddly impressed that I've yet to see anyone misspell Grindr by adding an E.

Pro tip: use caution when using a search engine to seek information on your phobia/anxiety disorder, as the results often include photos specifically related to said triggers. I speak from experience.

The lights in Doug and Carrie's en suite look like alien inspired dildos. I cannot unsee this. @leahremini.bsky.social

Vivien Leigh was 25 years old when she played the role of Scarlett O'Hara.

If he's using 24 karat gold in the White House, my dick is made of the finest Italian marble.

I'm watching season one of The French Chef and Julia Child just dredged four hamburger patties in flour and now I need a minute to regroup. Have I been making my burgers wrong all this time?

With +/- 15 MILLION vacant and abandoned homes in the USA, the problem is not a housing shortage or needing to build more. There are 21 vacant properties for EVERY single unhoused person in this country. GTFOH with needing to build more.

I've studied Hitlers rise to power and WWII for a couple of decades now; not academically. I can say with veracity, that this regime is following that playbook almost precisely. The timelines of both are so similar, it's not by chance. It gets much worse very quickly. Much, much worse.

Americans better start eating a lot more tofu and drinking all the soy milk and bean sprouts and and and...

We have WAY too many elderly people running things in this country and it shows. Come at me with, "YOU'RE AGEIST," nonsense... I'm not anti old people, I'm anti-letting people over 70 make decisions that will remain in place LONG after they're dead, that are FUCKING up this country. 1/

Currently only available at BJ's and we're a Costco family.

From the 1965 hit by The Shangri-Las: "When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love, L-U-V!" One of them was a linguistic prognosticator.

If you need a moment of Nazi's getting their asses handed to them, here you go. We can only take so much fucking bullshit, then we strike back. youtu.be/dErGlLBxE68?...

"This is not about who's the strongest, it's about not giving up."

Just wondering if anyone would have sagely scolded my ancestors in the camps if they said "Fuck Germany." Would you have called them bigots or said "Yeah the camps are bad but Germany has a right to exist?"

Can't wait to see this again. Been almost 10 years...

This is what unity looks like.

Tonight I’ll be ripping out my kitchen cabinets and dismantling the bathroom. I don’t need potential national security threats hiding in my house.

It was alright, mostly.
