That must be it. It’s the only logical explanation, honestly

I made a most unladylike noise next to a teamster sipping an old fashioned

I don’t know what is wrong with me (spoiler: a lot) but I’m currently in an airport with my cat and? No one cares? Not a single soul has gone “*gasp* cat!” Or asked his name or if he likes his carrier or handsome boy collar? Am I the only one that does feel this way seeing An Animal™️ in public?

Cat Tax™️ of Dash, a lorge and handsome black cat who is currently behaving so well in his kitty carrier at the airport with no one to give him accolades except for me who has also been sneaking him pieces of chicken from my plate.

Scotty is in good spirits despite his cone of shame (he has a hotspot he keeps licking)

Scotty, a delightfully silly dog, is in an E collar. He seems happy despite the situation

Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I hate that i have taken to drinking wine and eating sweets every night these past few weeks, despite being in a catastrophic car crash and having a husband who is falling in line with a fascist regime.

Tonight my (estranged) husband tells me what he did was wrong as he signed away his right to protest. Tonight solidified that I need to leave

So, I changed my language settings on social media to French as a way to help my French practice. Needless to say, the added seasoning to today’s timeline has been ✨delicious✨

I expected Trump’s 4th of July thing to be a disaster but only a moderate, normal sized disaster. I didn’t expect screaming crowds, evacuations, and “Antifa changed the weather!” level disaster. It’s like the Keystone Cops and the Nazis had a baby. Benny Hill meets Mussolini.

Please do not shoot off fireworks in your neighborhood. There are many places you can go for free to enjoy them. They traumatize pets to seek a safe place in thier home and affects people with PTSD. I am one of those people. Please stop doing this. Here, it is illegal and dangerous.

How I spent my day. Animals are so wonderful 🥹

Two sea otters in the harbor. I was so overwhelmed that I started crying. Otters are amazing.

Otters at the Monterey Bay Aquarium getting a treat of shrimp. Not pictured is the little boy next to me narrating that they are holding extra shrimp on their bellies to save as a snack for later.

The quote “The Sea is as near as we come to another world.” With a school of fish swimming above.

An Octopus making his way across the glass. His eyes held so much wisdom, and yes, I also cried at this encounter.
