On many levels, it's so appropriate to quote a former co-worker of mine when I lived in Columbia SC: "Not today, not today!"

Let's hope all of tomorrow's jerks waiting for us hear it loud and clear.

As we approach Father's Day, I'm so very grateful Tucker Reddington was my dad. I'm also thankful he's not here to see what our country has come to. I hope it's not too late to get back on track.

Help!! I'm trapped under a 7 pound Chihuahua and I can't get up! (After the news from this week, I'll gladly stay here avoiding reality for a bit)

Trump would totally be the mom/dad parenting by meaningless threats: Don Junior, I swear to God if you don't stop making Eric slap himself I will lock you in the Lincoln Bedroom!! This is the last time I'm going to tell you!

Kind of like how a bedroom can only be categorized as a bedroom with a closet and a window.

"Hide In Your Shell" - Supertramp (Lyrics)
YouTube video by danchan "Hide In Your Shell" - Supertramp (Lyrics)

A song that really speaks to our current situation. Normally I'd post a live performance, but I want people to see the lyrics if they aren't already familiar with Supertramp's "Hide in Your Shell"

Asked my friend to stop at the store post-pool bc I forgot cottage cheese. I got her a roll in thanks & a muffin. I was going to use my SNAP but the man behind me was too close & I didn't feel safe. I've been berated by strangers in the past for using SNAP & my purchases. Still mad at myself

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Yes, I'm slightly devastated by Schumer and Gillibrand. To not even make any demands?? I'm at a loss.

If you live in the North Towns of Buffalo NY (E. Amherst, Clarence, Lancaster, Depew, Williamsville, Newstead, Akron...) my group is looking to connect with other like minded neighbors and show support/network with local immigrants, POC, LGBTQ+, Federal Workers, etc. ๐Ÿ’™

My Congressional Representative posted about this on his FB page. He's a Dem serving Buffalo/WNY. So many of the comments are chastising him for "being a liar and fear monger" etc. I can't look at the comments made to him anymore because it's so disappointing that these are my neighbors.

I haven't heard this but it's not surprising. I live with intractable epilepsy and don't drive. Lots of things about life with disabilities, especially invisible illnesses, that people don't get.

I had a focal impaired awareness seizure last week while doing water aerobics at my city pool. These pb cookies are for my friend & her husband who got me home. Making chocolate chip for the guard who helped me #gratitudebaking #epilepsyawareness #1in26
