This is 1 of my bumper stickers. Yesterday, I looked in my rear view while sitting at a red light, & in the car behind me, the driver was holding up his hand, displaying metal horns & tracing the shape w/ the index finger of his other hand, while explaining the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I think I’m gonna go see #LAGuns at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano this weekend. Depending on the weather ...

I’m so glad I’ve always hated Kiss.

I used to always say that I don’t believe in coincidence, but when I identified/found my biological families, that changed. My adoptive brothers are named Rick & Jim. Turns out, I have 2 bio brothers I didn’t know existed. Their names are Rick & Jim. Isn’t that weird? #adoption

I have psoriatic spondylitis, which is pretty much psoriatic arthritis that attacks my SI joints, spine, lungs, & skin. It came w/ horrible eczema, mostly on my face (ARGH), elbows, & in my ears. I’d hate to add up how much $$$ I’ve spent on eczema creams over the yrs, but it’s a LOT. Not too […]

My amazing niece flying solo. I took this still* from a video of her getting ATC clearance, taking off, and flying. Solo. She’s not yet 20. I rly don’t have the words to describe my feelings as I watched the video. I cried like a baby—I can say that much […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

The upside to #BlackFriday is that it’s the day every retailer from which I want to UNSUBSCRIBE shows up in my inbox all at once.

I made ambrosia this morning, and holy crap, do dogs like marshmallows or WHAT.

RE: https://mindly.social/@NotRappaport/115568243899839267 I’ve said it 50k times, but I’ll say it again: IT’S NOT ABOUT FETUSES/BABIES/CHILDREN. IT’S. ABOUT. CONTROLLING. OPPRESSING. AND. PUNISHING. WOMEN. #reproductivejustice #ReproductiveRights #misogyny

I despise FedEx. That is all.

Last night, I dreamed my bestie & I were in a 747, on our way to London. But the 747 wasn’t flying. It was being driven down USA highways. At taxiing speed. & cars were piled up behind us as far as the eye could see. I don’t know how they were planning to taxi us across the Atlantic.

I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Call your senators.

It’s a great day in the muther-fooking neighborhood ya’ll! Happy fooking Hump Day to one & All! Women & Dems & Democratic-Socialists swept the Tuesday Special Elections & only ignorant right-wing-nuts and Corporate/AIPAC Dems can’t read the Handwriting On […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

‘94 @ Sue’s in Limehouse w/ Annie. She’s gone now, but she was a true Eastender, born & died. As a little girl during the Blitz, she (along w/ loads of other kids) had been put on a train out of London. The train would make rural stops & local folks could come […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Not a bad turnout for such a tiny town! I’m near the end of the video—I wore an inflatable green spaceman suit instead of my lobster. I didn’t last long (I got too hot &started getting unsteady on my feet), but it was awesome! #NoKings ALT: short iPhone video […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

UPS guy's proof of delivery photo yesterday 🤣

I’m ready! #nokings

Just a reminder America: This photo shows a portion of Imperial County, California, looking north toward the Salton Sea. This is where much of the nation's winter vegetables come from. Down there, 36000 ft. below, are a lot of workers, many of them here […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Today, Mr. Boots & I both cast our votes in the CA special election. If you’re a Californian, you should, too. Use your voice—IT MATTERS! #50 #statewidespecialelection https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/statewide-special-nov-4-2025

Looking for a little terrier in November. Been holding off while life stabilized, but my health is good, I feel able to commit -- if only to a dog, :) -- and will be in the market about then. If you know of a puppy needing a home in SoCal, drop me a line.

DAMMIT. I’ve always loved the #moodyblues. And the Guardian’s right—they were hugely influential. 💔😢 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct/10/john-lodge-moody-blues-pioneering-force-british-rock

Imagine a medieval knight who keeps their sword super rusty on purpose and everybody's scared to even be _scratched_ by his sword cause everyone thinks he's cursed it so people end up with muscle stiffness and spasms within 2-3 days, even if the actual sword wound has healed. And it really […]

It was storming so hard this morning I was actually woken up by thunder & lightning! I don’t think that’s ever happened—in all the yrs we’ve lived here. #ilovethunderstorms

My son’s chickens have a box fan in their coop. One of the Cochins, Luella, has recently taken to yelling into it bc it makes her voice sound funny, and she is SO fascinated by that. 😂🤣😭 #ilovechickens #chickensofmastodon

I hope this motherfucker dies of COVID, as publicly and unpleasantly as possible. https://newrepublic.com/post/199729/top-cdc-officials-quit-warning-rfk-jr

I have a stuffed plush clam but it only had two eyes so today I corrected that.

I love my e-trike w/ the heat of a thousand white hot suns, btw. 😊

More rain! OMG, I love it so much.

I have massive issues w/ #newsom, & I do NOT want him to be our President, but this made me literally laugh out loud. & that’s not easily done these days.

IT RAINED! #w00t

I dream of snow.

YESSS!!! #pulse https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/orlando-citizens-defy-desantis-re

I hope that at this moment, #jamesdobson is gargling satan’s blls w/ both hands tied behind his back. I hope he’s not allowed to take even a 5-sec break until Warren Jeffs arrives, & at that time, I hope Jeffs must take over for Dobson, who should then be forced to spend the rest of eternity […]

I was at my desk, & I thought Teddi was sleeping on the floor next to me, but she was wide awake. Just a-starin’ at me. Upside down, just starin’. ❤️

Somebody ate a bee this morning. Mr. Boots fed her a Benedryl right away, & she’s looking a lot better than she did a few hrs ago, but she’s still swollen, & I think it still hurts a bit. *sigh* #dogsofmastodon #spicyfly
