This street is so perfect I have to assume that half the people that live there are secret murderers. I walk down there with Wilder sometimes and it’s like picture book suburbia.

A tree with pink blossoms overlooks a sidewalk near a white picket fence. Green grass as far as the eye can see. A seemingly idyllic suburban scene.

A view from the β€œcute street” in my neighborhood.

I suppose it depends on the vantage point and the lens from which you are viewing the history.

I didn’t ignore it. Women and POC have been being oppressed and speaking out the entire time. I’m sure there are groups to blame but it’s certainly not all of Americans. It encourages xenophobia to acquiesce in that way. I still think this country has redeeming factors and lots of good people.

Outside a window would be nice. I have small bushes of it way out back but there is a huge fence of it on our walk and it’s just a wall of scent. Amazing.

Look I get it. For whatever reason it makes some people feel bigger to insult all Americans for what our leader and his people are doing but fascism comes at you quick. My advice is to be empathetic to the average people here and weed your own backyard.

Jasmine blooms. Clusters of white blossoms with hints of pink.

This is blooming on a fence down the street and it smells sooooooo good. #bloomscrolling

It’s a product of capitalism. Do you have that where you live?

This is a VERY good dog who did not bark at two different sets of small dogs on his walk today and THEN got to play with a neighbor dog his size for a good 20 minutes! He is tired and I’m very proud of him. πŸ₯°

I’m sure they have very happy investors. And as far as I can tell those billionaires have no allegiance to this country so they belong to everyone at this point.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that AI as a whole is just a Russian or Chinese op meant to further destroy their enemies.

Not sure of the country who is laughing hardest but whoever is embracing it looks increasingly foolish.

Learning that the abundance of Thai restaurants around the world is a direct result of the government of Thailand doing a sort of restaurant diplomacy makes me wonder why America can’t just do that, why can’t we make the burger to end all burgers instead of Henry Kissinger 2

Today is an excellent day to follow and support news outlets that explicitly avoid Generative AI Slop:

So, fun fact about the red clay soil we have in the deep south: it will stain anything nearly forever. Your sidewalk, your skin, and probably your soul. Unless someone takes a pressure-washer to it or replaces the concrete, this may stay here for the whole year of the horse. #dirt #southern #horse

Wild geranium is not only great to look at, the leaves make nifty natural stencils! #wildflowers #naturephotography

Don’t worry about it until we see if I make something you like. And you’re under no obligation to buy anything.

I haven’t before but that sounds fun to try! Do you have any color requests or any specific needs?

I always said if things got bad I’d start smoking again but I’m such a peace loving hippy flower child these days that I’ve just started eating way too much candy instead.
