Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Saw a quote saying I'm wrong to frame the vote this way because the resolution doesn't literally say 'we agree with Trump.' But for context, one reason Trump gave for attacking Iran was its missile program. And from the end of the resolution:

this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

Concerned my reaction to my own grief might come across as shitting on how other people grieve. I’ll probably pull this down in a few.

That’s really nice and respectful. I didn’t elect to get the remains. And I’m finding I’m not an ornament person either.

It’s lovely for people who want it! I just learned I’m not that person.

They gave it as an option at the euthanasia appointment and I said yes when I should’ve really said no. Their service says they scatter the ashes though

They were clear! I just second guessed myself.

If Bluesky was an artificially constructed left wing echo chamber that would honestly be very interesting and possibly cool but it’s not lol

BluePearl uses a third party that I guess are fine

I was already crying at therapy so it’s not like this was that much additional crying but I do kinda wish I hadn’t said β€œyes, I guess, just in case, since it’s free”

They didn’t force it on me, but it was presented as one of two choices, and I wish β€œnone of the above” had been given in the list. It was included in the cost of the cremation though.

The silver string around the box is the first toy Garth and Goose played with together

Here’s her in 2011. That one was 2013. I think it’s a haircut, probably her attempt to look Congressional.

It’s all in the eyes. She’s got the same crazy eyes as my high school guidance counselor who made it her mission to gatekeep college as a form of eugenics

That look says she’s gonna ban books, try children as adults, violate treaties, and probably wage a holy war against the ELCA while she’s at it

Kristi on the right just got a new stylist and some doctors who are liberal with the prescription pad

gentle Upper Midwestern reminder that the Kristi on the left still hates you and would kill you with her bare hands if she could

Feel a bit like John Henry every time I write some little blurb that AI could’ve done and get told β€œgood job”
