Ending the night with this.
*Get your hankies*
A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

We can’t rely on the asteroid, so rummaging in the back of the pantry to find old treasure seems like the next best option to me 😂

Had an endoscopy yesterday and oh yeah the anxiety beforehand was the worst part!

Deciding who gets your money is one of the easiest ways to protest. When everyone participates, it makes a pretty big statement.

Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown (her cat)

My newest hobby is getting blazed and listening to books from the library I normally wouldn’t pick up.

This 32 book series (first book published in 1990) and has a cat and dog (and pals) that help the humans solve murders. 😂

One of my favorites!

The Peace of Wild Things Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

One of my favorites!

I was super lucky to have two sets of grandparents who took me to the bookmobile and the library as a kid.

I think this weekend I will be unplugged and cuddled up with a book or four. What’s on your TBR?

If I were to die today, pretty sure ghost hunters would just hear me saying “stupid motherfuckers” for all eternity.

Hopefully they’ll find this post and know I’m not talking about them.

A bunny with black fur named Doodles

My elderly coworker stopped by to visit, dropped some turds under my desk and is now giving me the side-eye because I didn’t give her a treat.

Well, that’s an assumption. She might be pissed about the state of current affairs. #bunny

Wtf is going on with Kaine & Warner in VA??!! 🤬

Hear me out —

If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Hey quick question, are any daughters of the Don getting married today? I think America has a favor we’d like to ask.

Julian Jr thinks you need to take a break from the doomscrolling.

Having multiple anxiety disorders is awful, but one benefit is getting in a lot of reading.

Do we have the same husband? 😂 Before I called I said, “are we SURE this isn’t Hank?” He said “No, it’s definitely not Hank”. Omgggggg

Shaming people for what they read fuels illiteracy.

Every page turned is progress, no matter the genre. Don’t be a book snob.

For years I’ve said I only know my neighbors by their #pets.

That was a lie. I don’t even know their pets.

Called animal control after detaining a stray dog found roaming in our backyard. It was Hank, the 🐶 who lives 2 doors down and barks at me daily.

I don’t know how to process this.

If anyone is looking for me tonight, no you’re not.

Book plot I’d absolutely read: girl takes a bite of a poisoned apple, slips into a coma, and no one’s lips come near her for 4 years.
