"30 minutes ad free" yeah okay sure thing Spotify.

A screenshot of a Spotify ad that includes the title "Enjoy 30 minutes of uninterrupted listening." It is 8:29pm.

Another Spotify ad, titled "Your ad will continue after the break." It is only 8:32, three (3) minutes after the 30 minutes ad-free promise.

Fascism is evil. Fascism is scary. Fascism is awful. But goddamn it is also so fucking whiny and intellectually vapid and incredibly annoying.

He also wanted to bring fracking to upstate New York. The man was always out for the quick buck at the expense of everything north and east of Poughkeepsie. Take a look at all of his policy decisions as NY Governor, and then go look at the companies his family runs. You will notice patterns.

Would *love* to go to my local #NoKings protest, but the nearest one requires me to sign up with my name and phone number as well as an email. We are protesting a fascist dictator. Why the hell would y'all expect me to sign my damn name on the attendance sheet. That's *asking* for retaliation.

Republicans say they’re against a “redistribution of wealth” —but everything is a redistribution of wealth. The only Q is in what direction. They send it from the lower/middle class to the top. For decades. They hide it with “trickle down” snake oil, but this is who they are.

Exactly one month ago, I was in the ER. Three weeks after that, I had navigated through my PCP and scheduling to get in with a gynecologist, half an hour away. They did my ultrasound very quickly. They definitely found something. And then they told me I can't even ask about results til week 3.

Before and after photos of the novelty fish tank we purchased with a display fish inside. I wasn't sold on the tank at first but the alternative of leaving the poor thing in the curio shop was too much for me. So. Meet Sapphire.

Picture of a novelty Garfield-shaped enclosure around a fish bowl, which is filled with cloudy and visibly dirty water, through which a blurry betta fish can be seen swimming. The only other features inside the bowl are a filter and a small handful of cheap plastic gems.

The same novelty Garfield-shaped enclosure around a fish bowl, this time filled with clean water, plants, substrate, and hiding places for the fish, as well as a new bubbling filter. The fish is out of sight in one of the hiding spots.

Incidentally a certain Nazi doctor tried to divide autistics into those who deserved to live and those who didn't, too. They used to name some of us after him.

"This is a peaceful town hall!" cries Greene, as a man is tasered twice by police while doing nothing wrong. Right after saying the people protesting were the violent ones. What a wild example of these grifters lying about what's right in front of our faces.

Brooklyn is ball-less, cancer-less (so far 🤞) and out of healing quarantine! He missed the dog park, and the other puppies he loves to play with. Full zoomies.

A blue AmStaff with low white (Brooklyn) runs toward the camera, accompanied closely by a very happy white lab mix. The lab's owner has one foot in the picture.

My medical file, from years 2016-2018 only. PCP office wanted more proof I've been having the same issues for the past decade. They are welcome to comb through for it.

Brooklyn got through surgery today! He's taking the night separated from the rest of the house for some peace and quiet, to the chagrin of dutiful little sister Jelly Bean.

A tri color French bulldog lies facing away from the camera with back legs in a sploot. On the other side of some gates, about ten feet away, a blue AmStaff lies sleeping, head haloed by a blue post-surgery donut collar.

The funny thing about politics is that we CAN put it in a binary if we want. Where the options are exclusive, the first option is "primarily acts toward the betterment of the community" and the second is "primarily acts toward the betterment of the self."

The look Jelly Bean gave us after we finished restraining her so she wouldn't bite the vet taking her temperature is very, very funny to me.

A tri-color French bulldog stands on a metal vet table, held steady by three pale arms coming in from off camera. She stares directly and deeply at the camera, tongue out in a pant, ears slightly back and eyes wide.

I think the animals missed me while I was visiting my cousin this past weekend. Brooklyn came up to be little spoon first, then Wobbles took up station on my leg, and when I was stuck Jelly Bean jumped onto the back of the couch and skirted to the side, off of which she leapt into my arms.

A fat, pale woman lounges sideways on a grey couch, wearing black leggings and a bright green shirt that reads "I am in constant physical pain." In front of their stomach is a blue American Staffie curled up. An all black DSH cat sits on their lower leg, the upper lifted to cushion behind it. A tri-color Frenchie lies across the woman's face, cradled in their arms, having just leapt off the high arm of the couch above the Staffie. A water bottle peeks out from between the butts of the Staffie and the cat, which meet in the middle of the woman.

Happy Birthday to my (omg) newly minted teenager, Edwin! I already played Teenagers by MCR for him, and he danced to it gleefully.

A young teen boy with pale skin, glasses, and brown hair stands in front of a counter covered in gifts in various colorful wrappings. Three balloons, two bearing "Happy Birthday" messages on a controller shape, and one smiley face, are floating behind him. His arms are out, as is his tongue, as he makes a wide, silly, excited face.

Because who knows if I'll need it: I will *not* be leaving my son in the middle of this mess alone. That means if you hear of any "suicide" or sudden disappearance, it was not of my own free will. Start with the camps for disabled people on psychiatric medications and look from there.

Brooklyn turns 12 today, and the birthday boy has been Blessed by the diva queen known as Wobbles. He's not even using his claws to stay on there, which is very generous for him.

Mister Brooklyn is going to be going into (minor) surgery on March 18, less than two weeks after his 12th birthday. He gets a quick neuter and an abdominal scan to check if anything else is going on, and then the vet is optimistic he'll make improvement after. I'll keep updating.

BCBS (Indicoor) just denied my referral to a mental health counseling clinic that's listed as within my network. I've had this insurance for just under three months and they have not approved a single referral or prior auth without serious fuss. This is just another day as a disabled American.

I forgot how when I get a new insurance carrier, I have to go through the whole process of convincing them that I do in fact have a genetic condition that causes chronic disability, yes even at my young age, and yes I will have to see specialists about it, yes for real I need it. Every. Time.

A criminal (pictured left) committed vandalism this morning (pictured center), prompting local Mama to do an emergency repot for the cacti and succulents, which are currently adjusting to their new habitat (pictured left).

A tri-color French bulldog seen from above lies flat on her back, clearly asleep, feet stuck up limply, in the lap of a person with pale skin and bare feet.

Several small plastic pots of assorted cacti and succulents, along with a selection of dog toys, lie in a scattered and dirt-strewn mess between a dog bed and a coffee table placed before sunny windows.

A wide, shallow cement dish contains the previously pictured cacti and succulents, now arranged and properly potted on the coffee table from the prior picture, with reddish and pale river stones in a layer over the soil. The instigating dog can barely be seen, blurry in the background, napping in a sunbeam on the bed from the prior picture.
