Unapologetically defying pithy description. Salty we’re having to start over. Again. Shouting love, kindness, sass, and swears into the void…along with cat pics, knitting, and occasional “Story Time”. Dem, T1D, ADHD, she/her (🚫TERFs, 🚫MAGA)

I don’t mind MyChart results when they are EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE

A1C: (an actual number that means a thing me)

Specific Bacteria: +/- (I do/ do not need an antibiotic)

But like… if I’m not gonna know what something means??? Translate it or don’t show me till AFTER the notes are posted.

Is this a less arty sequel to “Being John Malkovich?”

Less puppetry, more insulting people?

SUUUUPER fun when a day of unexpected queasiness coincides with fajita night (M already had something in the slow cooker).

Today EVERY smell is making me ill. And that’s a Big Smell.

(The smell is also upsetting the cats…but more in a “I smell meat! Gimme! WAAAAAAANT!” kinda way.)

My pharmacy has been “out of stock” of a med I take weekly.

A med that also causes nausea, but, since I’ve learned the tricks *I* need to do to accommodate it, it’s fine.

Turns out those tricks DO NOT include going off it for 3 days, then restarting. 🤢🤮

This part of the strategy is key to understand: the purpose is to remove the non-Anglo element from the US to the extent possible. It is not enough to turn people away at the border, as some invariably get through. They have to be tortured once in the country, as a warning to others

Currently on the couch at a “moderate whimper” and watching Olympics.

So, REALLY leaning in to the relative pitifulness of me vs. athletes whose bodies don’t hate them. (And, you know, do super impressive things) 😂

Yesterday I woke up having “slept weird.”

Undeterred, I continued (as planned) to the Museum of Flight.

Two hours in, it was clear my back was DONE. M and teen were not. (I do not blame the planes…but I started to resent them a little)

I mean… FAR be it from me to question the wisdom of Costco, who has convinced me I ABSOLUTELY NEED all manner of things…

but that was my question too!

A row of 10 lb. milk chocolate bunnies with white ears and tummies, on sale for $139.99 at Costco.

Because who doesn’t want to deal with a rug rat on 10 pounds of chocolate???

Did anyone need a 10 lb. Chocolate Bunny? Cause Costco has a 10 lb. Chocolate Bunny.

It’s milk chocolate, though. So…not for me.

Someone needs to take that man aside and tell him:

“Michael, if you want to wear a beauty pageant sash, just wear the sash. It’s fine. There is NO NEED to butcher three flags and two pleather car seats to make this getup.”

If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

I also want talking points/ ads saying “Democrats don’t think married women should be penalized for taking their husbands’ names. We think that’s a their decision l. Republicans, on the other hand, want to make it so only women who keep their names will be allowed to vote.”

Make. Them. Squirm.

But it inevitably leads to a discussion of white supremacy. And white people will do anything — including absolving Nazis, apparently — to avoid that conversation. 🙄

So… ya know… he’s so “young” or “real” or some bullshit.

I fully admit we have a gerontocracy problem. But at some point we have to have the honest conversation that it is nothing —NOTHING— compared to our “Endless Absolution for White Dudes” problem.

This, Bush dismissing awful behavior in his 30s as “in my youth,” the entire life of Elon…

Sirs Swanky-Pants Von Better-Than-You (formerly known as our cats) have decided they are ABSOLUTELY the sort of cats that should be fed duck.

In fact, they should be fed duck EXCLUSIVELY.

And is there more?
Where?

So my “special treat” idea had some downsides. 😂

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

“If we put a stop it, the system will collapse.”

What are things the rich (and their simps) said about stopping Trump’s pedophile pals, slavery, child labor, Jim Crow laws, Black
Codes, marital rape, segregation, suffrage, ERA, and the genocide of indigenous people, for $100, Alex.

Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are some of the dumbest retards ever to be in Congress. They knowingly and willfully ruined the lives of innocent people who had nothing to do with Epstein.

As Melissa points out in the replies, this guy, who also proposes putting women in "breeding gulags" to be repeatedly raped and forced to give birth, had dinner with the president of the United States.

TIL:

- Swarovski crystals are just… precisely cut colored glass??? (I feel lied to here. Like I thought we were talking really clear, polished stones. Cause WHY are we being asked to pay so much for glass?)

- The Swarovski family were SUPER Nazis.

So… maybe get your “Ooh! Shiny!” fix elsewhere.
