I love that

As a disabled Hispanic and CSA survivor, I have similarities to your circumstances. I don't have the luxury of getting along with people who vote in a known predator, a deranged HHS Secretary, and a racist cabinet. I can't ignore politics and sing happy songs while playing games with them.

When my daughter was 2, I remarried. My husband knew there would be no other kids. He jumped in with both feet and was a proud Girl Dad. Men are often distant with daughters here. She's 32, now and they remain very close. The fact is he also chose her when he married me, and that isn't as common.

Definitely, and Boba Feet is the sheriff of this block. Those vans always drive away when he borks and it can be felt through the ground.

😆

He's also very cute 😍

Large black tan and white German Shepherd Boxer mix in his chair. He is on his side with all of his big paws hanging over. His head is turned to his left, and he has his tongue out. He looks like a Medieval beastie in a manuscript.

My boy is the bork instigator. He will stand in the middle of the yard, and if it's quiet, he will let out one deep woof, and the whole neighborhood Bork Dorks will start up.

The Biggest Beastie Bork Dork:

"Iran style moral policing" is that like saying "Christian Taliban"? Trying to shame your own by demonizing another is pretty gross.

Exactly. Russia's National Archive was destroyed over decades of environmental neglect once Stalin closed it. It wasn't until Gorbachev's era that they began to reconstruct files and needed international help with filling gaps for accuracy.

Well, this has been an interesting rabbit hole, to say the least.

JFC, I give up on humanity.

If I ignore my T1D, it'll go away. I'll never have to deal with it from 6ft under 🤪

She sounds amazing 🐾

Thank you 🐾 I never shied away from letting her learn what I was learning and would explain things at her level. I took her to sign with Washoe and the other chimps when she was about 4, and she had a lot of fun.

I was in college, so my daughter grew up learning about different anthropology theories and anthropologists. Debating with my 3-year-old while sitting on the toilet is a memorable experience 🤣 She's 32 now and is studying language pathology, so pontificating from the throne was worth it 💁‍♀️

The "Epstein thing" is that children were sexually assaulted repeatedly. Reducing that fact to "thing" diminishes them. Children were raped that fact needs to be remembered. I'm a CSA survivor, I sat in a witness chair at 9yrs old. Even though the jury was hung, it wasn't a pointless "thing."

This ⬆️⬆️

He grew up on the Olympic Peninsula, and chainsaws are often involved in accidents there.

I told my husband that under no circumstances is he to ever juggle chainsaws. He would if I didn't lay down the rules.

And she knows it, too 😆

Thank you. What a beauty, too 😍

Cat love back atcha. This is Pixel 🐾

Some of us are actually experiencing isms due to disabilities, misogyny, and ethnicity, first hand, and yet, we love and need caturdays. I mean, I've had a target on my back for 53 years and will likely be completely blind in the next few. They can leave my joy alone and bugger off.

@narosenblum.bsky.social talking sense here about what we mean by "the rule of law" and the dangers of nostalgic institutionalism

Yep. Our bodies and minds are always in fluctuation. I can eat exactly the same thing as yesterday and do the same thing, and my insulin needs will be completely different.

It's almost as if, if you meet one T1D, you've met exactly 1 T1D 🐾 I wish all endos and dietitians understood this.

I'd receive a huge payment every time I need insulin and everything that goes with having diabetes, but there's nothing he could offer me to get me to support him and his policies. I refuse to sell my body and soul to him.

As a CSA survivor, I can say they already do. Whether they are teens or very small children (like I was) doesn't matter. It's always the fault of the child for some reason or other to them. According to my abusers family I was a 3yr old slut and this was 50 years ago 🤷‍♀️

All dark humor aside, this timeline is triggering in the literal sense for many survivors of sexual trauma.

If you’re a survivor, remember to do whatever you need to do for self care.

If you’re not a survivor, please keep boosting the issue in a way that is respectful of the suffering caused.

Yep. Exactly.

A New Shiny Thing to catch the administration's attention and toss the work and life atmosphere into chaos.
