Seeing a new neurologist tomorrow. Gotta be better than the last wingnut who had a supplement side hustle. “You’re deficient in b vitamins and need to detox.” WTF?You’ve never taken blood samples. I’m here for you to treat my epilepsy, not sell me vitamins. Geez! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It was so fucking humid yesterday afternoon that condensation on the camera lens caused my cell phone to not recognize me, forcing me to remember my 6-digit login code. That’s it. That’s my text.

My neighborhood is from the late 60s with a little lake (Star Lake). A creek borders the back of our back yard and feeds the lake. We have a couple of otters who play on the banks of the creek. Someone caught these cuties playing at the lake! www.facebook.com/share/v/1BeV...

Please remember that, as you attend memorials this weekend, it’s about those who gave all. It’s not about the politician that might show up for a pre-election photo op.

There are lots of reasons not to like members of Congress. For my whole life I’ve heard that members of congress receive salary and benefits for their entire lives after serving just one term. It seems unfair so I finally decided to look it up. Not true.

Ok. So, my brother, 1 yr older, contacted my younger brother after years of no contact. Last time was when our dad died, where he threatened to kill me and stole everything from dad’s place. He’s a con man, thief, addict, you name it. He’s found Jesus again and is onto his next con. +

This image might be one of the most powerful weapons against the administration. That guy doesn’t look like some MS-13 drug lord. He looks like one of the dads you chat with about football while waiting to pick your kids up from the same school. He’s just some very American dude.

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant
A portion of John Quincy Adams' Amistad argument before SCOTUS: "I will not recur to the Declaration of Independence--your Honors have it implanted in your hearts--but one of the grievous charges brought against George III. was, that he had made laws for sending men beyond seas for trial. That was one of the most odious of those acts of tyranny which occasioned the American revolution. The whole of the reasoning is not applicable to this case, but I submit to your Honors that, if the President has the power to do it in the case of Africans, and send them beyond seas for trial, he could do it by the same authority in the case of American citizens. By a simple order to the marshal of the district, he could just as well seize forty citizens of the United States, on the demand of a foreign minister, and send them beyond seas for trial before a foreign court."

A word on the Tesla violence. I’m all about protesting; the first amendment holds that sacred. But, I’ll never be OK with hurting people. Firebombing? No. Why do I think that dude is just a weirdo who loves firesetting?

I was astonished to find out that a lot of people don’t realize that tetanus is a disease and a “tetanus shot” is a vaccine. They also don’t know you can die a very painful death. Seriously? They don’t know?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ What did they think it was???

Trump is Pel to Musk’s Grand Nagus. When you situate them in Ferengi culture, never forget they live by the rules of acquisition. And what’s the first rule of acquisition? Exactly.

Can everyone stop prefacing Musk’s name in the press with “the world’s richest man”? Every single story does this. I’m sick of it. It feeds his ego and inflates his value as a human being. You can simply say, “DOGE director Musk,” and move on. That will equate him with a role instead of money.
