Hard to watch images from war ravaged Portland where capybara, frogs, unicorns and pink dinosaurs are dancing in the middle of the night outside the ICE facility.

A little weekend whimsy. We had surprise snow yesterday. Just another reason I love having chickens. 🀣

Having out of town guests over. We were going to make them a meal, as has been the custom in virtually every culture in human history, but I think instead we'll berate them, criticize their clothing choices, and demand they thank us for everything.

Love it or hate it, art keeps me sane. Seems I'm going through something of a blue phase. πŸ˜‚

Andrew Tate announced that he refuses to sleep with vaccinated women - if that's not evidence that vaccines work, I don't know what is. @unitedhumanists

I object to the idea that there are any rules or restrictions regarding pizza consumption.

A large number of agents are ex-military. They know how to defend and subdue. Patel is an idiot.

POTUS has just pulled out of the so called peace talks with Ukraine and Russia after berating Zelensky in the oval office. Please donate to Ukraine directly. Every little bit helps

If you read my last post and wonder where it went, it was too disjointed and loaded with errors for my CDO to handle. I'll repost after editing.

...things should be. Show them how hurting people should be treated. Show them what real love is.

Not all Republicans are unkind, uncaring or callous. We're beginning to see that. It's just sad that it takes something happening to us personally to show us how badly we treat those less fortunate.

As angry as I am, *I think* we need to treat the newly awakened with compassion. Show them how...

... the system. Sure, there's a bit of that but experiencing how HARD and EXHAUSTING it was even go through the process was very eye opening.

The "othering" of our fellow humans, the arrogance of feeling superior, THAT is the scam. We all need each other. We need to take care of each other.

So, I filed for disability. It was a months long process just to get to an evaluation. More months to get to my first denial. Two years total to a final decision after appeal. It became clear that the conservative attitude I was raised with - that people on disability or food stamps were just gaming

Vertigo, discomfort, etc... I had developed Menier's disease. But that's not really important. It became (even more) difficult to drive and focus... And walk in a straight line. I ended up dropping the ball at my office job and was asked to resign. It was clear a normal office job wasn't working.
