My beloved gyno who has diagnosed a bunch of stuff for me (even out of her field!) is retiring and I have my last appointment tomorrow. I was going to stop and get flowers for her. Is that weird? Or nice?

My car has keyless ignition. But the key has to be present for it to start. So I can’t find my keys…but my car starts, meaning they are in the car somewhere. I’ve searched and searched! I wish I could pick my car up and shake it upside down until they fall out.

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

The paperback edition of I Want to Burn This Place Down is out today. There is still so much that I want to burn down, but I have to tell you, it's been so gratifying to see how many other "good Democrats" are sick of the status quo as well. bookshop.org/a/310/978006...

Now I know why I have to really dig in emotionally on essays bc I’m listening to a memoir where the author didn’t do that and it’s so annoying.

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops. These are sick, corrupt people.

i have a cat i need to rehome, i love him dearly and hes very sweet but hes stressed here and its not good for us or him, one of my other cats seems to not like him and i think thats where the stress starts, when hes stressed he pees outside his litter box, since I've isolated him its not been an issue 

his name is birch hes 2 years old and i raised him myself, i found him and his mom and took them off the streets, he wouldnt do good in a shelter but unless i can find him a home myself, which ive had no luck, thats my only choice 

please feel free to share this information and these pictures around, if you can get me in contact with someone id owe you forever, birch deserves better, he deserves love, hes shy but hes such a sweet angel and this is breaking my heart

Sad. Don’t know what coverage is like in the US but here’s the BBC.
At the end of the first set, President Trump was booed much louder than earlier when he appeared on the jumbotron.
The camera lingered for much longer than it usually does on famous faces, too.
The reception from the New Yorkers was markedly different when rock icon Bruce Springsteen - a local hero from New Jersey - appeared to euphoric cheers.
Trump sat stony-faced as Springsteen, who has been a vocal critic of the president, grinned.
