The death penalty is one of the most barbaric things we do and the fact that not only do we do it, the supreme court’s precedent is to make sure we do it hard and fast and recklessly, is a deep, awful shame.

Sort of this one. But I fell asleep partway through (I was…..7?) and to this day have never seen the whole thing. Or any other Star Wars movie or tv series or spinoff. My record is pure.

I am late to watching House of the Dragon season 3. First two seasons mostly just ok. But last night I watched season 3 episode 1 and holy crap, the Battle of the Gullet! I couldn’t sleep afterwards, I was too riled up.

The universality of Dolly: I am with an int’l group of hikers in a small town in Ireland. I got the news from a friend and told them at dinner. The German, the Americans, the Canadians & the South African all gasped and said “oh no!” and immediately picked up their phones to learn more. RIP, queen.

Who is going to find time in their week this week to donate blood? The American Red Cross declared only its second ever national blood crisis in 145 years. There’s only a day’s worth of O+!

For the first time in an entire lifetime of having dogs, I have one who is chill enough (when tired from a dog park AND a walk) to sit with us on a patio for a meal. 15 months old, and he just watched all the dogs & kids, without trying to play with any of them….or eat the food. Good boy!! 🐕

I found this in our yard & I’m worried it’s the start of a horrible apocalyptic zombie thing. All other signs seem to be pointing that way too (fires/smoke/heat, advancing fascism, war). (Fuligo Septica, also known as dog vomit slime mold)

Currently watching Highlander. I had forgotten how phenomenally cheesy this movie is. The acting is…..oooof. And Sean Connery’s shifting accent as an “Egyptian.” Yikes. At least there’s the soundtrack.

It’s #InternationalPuppyDay?!?! Every day is puppy day here. This little pogo-bouncy, spazzy, bitey great big soft cuddly chaos tornado is almost a year old and we adore him.

A PSA, in case anyone needs it: don’t eat your bed, there are very serious (and expensive) consequences. The puppy is recovering well on day 5 post-op, but almost certainly would have died without surgery. Little stinker.

Last for today—the East Side of St. Paul has great need, but gets less attention than Minneapolis. This rent relief fund is available to those families and could use some love.

If you're not in Minnesota and have bought into the drawdown talk....it's all B.S. The only difference since Tom Homan showed it is they haven't murdered another Minnesotan....yet. We're still be terrorized by the Federal Government and the majority of elected officials seem unable to protect us.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

It is shocking how quickly my brain & body have gone from “yay, relaxing holiday break full of good food, rest, and eating, I feel great!” to “WTF why do I have so many meetings, why do my back and neck hurt, and why am I awake at 3 am and acting like a salty B, I hate this.” Gosh, what changed?

I am belatedly watching The Last of Us - season 2, episode 2. It’s basically the battle of helm’s deep, down to the shots of the women and children cowering in the basements. Probably not a new observation, but I’m behind in my tv consumption.

Key takeaways from my Brontë reread: 1) I am still 💯 #TeamJane and think Cathy is an asshole. 2) Wuthering Heights is an anti-romance, and pretty much everyone is horrible. It’s grueling. Why do people like this? 3) I would choose Rochester over St. John Rivers any day. St. John is extra horrible.

Breaking news: new puppy! 6 mo old husky/shepherd mix, the sweetest and most playful boy ever. We were dogless for 6 months after many decades of dogs, and that sucked. He has just slid right into our lives already as though he’s always been ours. #DogsOfBlueSky 🐕
