I was gone for THIRTEEN HOURS today and Chester wants me to know he is SOOOOOO traumatized. SOOOOO SADDDDD. (NB I have a wonderful pet sitter who comes on my long days and gives them an hour outside, so he's fine, lol)

@were-duck.bsky.social homgggg have you read this extremely hot and filthy pain kink/rough impact play fic archiveofourown.org/works/77116761

I met Brianna through the feline diabetes community, and she has been one of the kindest sources of support as I continue to struggle with Gen's care. Xander is her best friend and constant companion, and she really needs help. PLEASE give if you can, and share. www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-be...

I am so nervous about how slowly the pitt is ramping up this season 🤨

My pet sitter is going on vacation next week, so we just did a meet and greet video call with the lady filling in for her to assuage my anxiety. And oh my god the delicate balance of trying to warn her about Chester but also reassure her that he's not like, a demon 😅

If you enjoy HR reactions, these bisexual comedians, one originally from Russia and one from Ireland, are a good time. Definitely not trying to keep monetized 😂

My realtor does high end condos and equestrian estates and McMansions in the burbs; the manufactured home first time buyer people are used to people with no knowledge or money or resources who don't ask questions. The conference call between them was HILARIOUS. Wildly tense, but hilarious.

Important farm update the sunshine has been turned back on. I REPEAT: THE SUNSHINE IS BACK. (The donkeys and sheep are at 7.5X bc they're 50 and 100 yards away lmao) (attempt #2)

Jennette McCurdy's Last Meals is absolutely fantastic. (CN: discussions of disordered eating, exercise bulimia, and grief/feelings around estranged & dead parents) youtu.be/rX5WCm0_flI

It is so much fucking harder to train your dog when the neighbor's dogs keep alarm barking

I know I should be sleeping if the dogs have gone to sleep bc they will be waking me up at dawn but they're QUIET and there's so much internet waiting for me 😭

There are at least 5 bones in various stages of chewed in this house, why must the dogs fuss over wanting the same one?

Omg pet sitter/dog walker got this freaking ADORABLE picture of the donkeys enjoying the sun and warmer temps 💜

You can easily message your VA legislators here and urge them to pass SB359 in the Senate andHB886 in the House: join.compassionandchoices.org/a/adv2025_we...

Virginians: 15 months ago, my mom used Medical Aid in Dying when the pain of pancreatic cancer became too much. It gave her so much peace to know she wouldn’t need to suffer. Everyone should have that comfort if they want it. Please email your legislators and urge them to pass MAID in VA! (1 of 2)

Tried to play a new training game with Chester, got him too hype and made it too hard, got bitten in the tit 😩 I hate boob injuries, the skin tears SO easily and there's SO much vasculature 💀

Something good night have just happened on the mortgage front? Like saving me tens of thousands of dollars good?? pls pls pls pls universe do me ONE fucking solid

SOS TOY BOX EMPTY, CONTENTS SCATTERED ABOUT HOUSE. ALL PUSH TOYS SAD SHREDDED REMNANTS. AT LEAST $125 OF TREATS AND BULLY STICKS CONSUMED. YARD IS 2-4" OF MUD AND WATER. SEND OPEN LAND AND CHILDREN WITH ENDLESS PLAY ENERGY ASAP.

Update she absolutely refused to change title companies bc it's shady af so she emailed the new contract straight to the title company and cc'd the loan officer with a "looking forward to a smooth close!" 🤣

Every time I make progress on this house bullshit something else comes up. Now the home manufacturer and mortgage company are pressuring me to use their preferred title company, even tho I've already got earnest money at a different one and the other one has already done work on this deal.

My donkeys spent at LEAST 8 hours running around the pasture last night, I think from the cold winds? But they're FINALLY resting which means the sheep are also resting and the dogs are napping so anyone who makes a loud noise within half a mile of my house and wakes up my zoo will face my wrath

#quiltSky If you have any rainbow spectrum jellyrolls you'd like to destash for charitable purposes, I am HAPPY to take them. I will be going to town for this org and more.

In the manner of all high strung high drive low frustration tolerance creatures everywhere, Chester is a CHALLENGE to get down for a nap. So I have to cheer that I managed to distract and soothe him down BEFORE he harassed sleepy Banjo into getting riled up 🎉

Alright, I got there. Heated Rivalry TV, Scott/Kip, E, Scott Hunter is The Saddest Man In Hockey and he thinks too much and I just wanted to have some fun with those enormous tragic eyes. archiveofourown.org/works/78320651

Learning a lot about my dogs this weekend that in retrospect makes sense. I've done this diy food puzzle where you roll treats up in a towel twice now and Chester has proven that his high good drive means low tolerance for frustration -- even tho he's motivated and smart, the puzzle has to be EASY

Hey, hey you, want a hot hollanov breeding kink fic? YEAH you do!! archiveofourown.org/works/78332521 @mwestbelle.bsky.social

The donkeys have been running* around the field for 5 hours now. It's probably keeping them really warm, and they seem ok with the footing, but GOD they are gonna lose so much weight from this storm 💀 good thing they came into this over conditioned.

Everyone is fed, or at least has been offered food and water. Half of this didn't happen. The sheep were the only ones with and brains tonight. The donkeys have been running around their pasture for over an hour. TERRIBLE CHILDREN.

PM chores: - soak hay pellets in hot water - retrieve water jugs from truck - toss hay bale from truck over fence - cart hot mash and hay to animals - attempt to shovel manure 💀 - spread pelleted shavings - fill water jugs to moisten/fluff shavings - take bucket of water to animals for a drink

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

heyyy if you know anyone looking for up to four WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BTS tickets for the September 5th date hit me up!

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdami advises New Yorkers to stay home and read ‘Heated Rivalry’ during the winter storm via hearts530

My donkeys are shivering bc I'm an ass who didn't think to buy them blankets and train them to wear them and Chester bit the shit out of poor Banjo's nose (I think he felt trapped/unsafe, they were playing on the ice next to the fence) and aughhh why did anyone let me have animals

💀

Good to know that even freezing rain and sleet turning everything into a skating rink can't stop my neighbors and their trucks with music that booms into my house.

BOREDDDDD SO BOREDDDDD WHY WON'T ANYONE PLAY WITH BANJO :(

Banjo: went to the barn and spent an hour splashing through puddles at windchill 23°F. Had a blast. Came home happy and bouncy. Chester: has been out all of 3 minutes today. Frozen. Tragic. Wants to call Sarah McLachlan. Pooped and peed in the hall to avoid outside (did not work). Cute fit tho!

If anyone needs a winter pant, I really highly recommend the lined Duluth Flexpedition. Wide size range, super warm soft fleece inside, HIGHLY water resistant, comes in a pretty marine blue color, and currently 30-70% off AND buy one get one half off www.duluthtrading.com/s/DTC/womens...

Chester would like everyone to know that being forced to go out and pee in the cold and rain is against the Geneva convention

Definitely a new winner for Worst Weather To Feed In 💀

Y'all someone did an Ilya vid to Joyride and it is so perfect. What an Ilya song. (h/t @mwestbelle.bsky.social ) www.tumblr.com/ocholeracosi...

Made it into town for hay and a car battery, which I successfully installed, so my car starts properly now! 💪🎉 (Yes that is an empty water jug holding the hood up bc the hydraulics are dead. Shh.)

Chester: it's sooo cold Me: it's 62° Chester: I CAN FEEL THE ARCTIC WINDS COMING, MOTHER

Absolutely endless monster behavior from ICE & CBP. Detaining parents seeking urgent healthcare for their kids and who, in this case, had petitioned for asylum. All at the same hospital where they shot two people earlier this month. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

I am being VERY STRONG and NOT going to the shelter for a foster. My hands and house are full! It would not be fair to Chester or Banjo or the cats! I hope they get all the dogs indoors somewhere :(

Grocery delivery had everything except milk. How far would I have to drive today to buy a gallon of milk or can I stretch a gallon and a half to Monday? 🤔

Squinted at a guest actress on The Pitt for twenty minutes bc I KNEW I recognized her and could NOT place it. She played Jody in Center Stage.
