Looks like someone at @amazon should be a tad embarrassed right now. You can add all the vowels you want, but the H still comes first.

No, @nytimes.com, America does not mourn the death of a man who, among many other awful things, said gun deaths are an OK price to pay to defend the 2nd Amendment. Of course he meant the deaths of Dems, the poor, ppl of color & ppl whose gender/sexual preferences offended him. You've hit a new low.
The NY Times reaches a new low by claiming America mourns the death of Charlie Kirk, accompanied by a photo of a droopy American flag in front of the White House.

I'm 100% on board with this. And if someone puts this on a banner that will fit above my front door, my BLM banner that's been there practically since I moved in will come down and this will go up.

I know I need to stop being outraged & just breathe every now & then. Maybe you do, too. Here are a few of my way-too-many pets. They mostly make me smile. Maybe they'll make you smile, too.

The new Dwight Yoakam CD arrived today, and my fox and squirrel drawer pulls are here & installed. The squirrel looks quite grumpy. Apparently he's not as pleased as I am.

I early voted today at the Susan B. Anthony House, then visited her grave & left my initialed & dated "I Voted" sticker on her headstone in honor of the woman who, though she did not live to see the passage of the 19th Amendment, is the reason I am able to vote today.

Dogs waiting expectantly at the top of the stairs after playing in the snow are pretty great, too.

This wk I said goodbye to sweet Onyx, my 1st chinchilla. He danced when he saw me coming. A sudden crash, a 2:30AM ER visit & 2 urgent care visits got us through the wkend til we could see our vet, but a huge tumor meant goodbye was the kindest choice. Small pets leave huge heartbreak. cc: @darth

Very timely. I'm currently sitting out in my backyard oasis, feeling the breeze and watching my dogs run around like loons in hopes of catching Things. Then they stop to eat weeds because they're ridiculous, followed by plotzing because eating weeds is tiring.

Sort of a baby. My 10mo foster puppy who's on strict crate rest (hence the crap pictures) healing from a hairline fracture. I'll be foster-failing the minute she gets the all clear.

Somebody broke this lattice, got himself stuck under the house & let me think he'd somehow escaped when I ran inside for a soda, forcing me to search frantically for 10 minutes before he barked for help. We've agreed to let you to pass sentence, @darthbluesky.bsky.social . What say you?

I pulled into my driveway earlier & discovered this little guy sitting on my shirt. No idea when he hopped on board. I took his pic, set him free on the driveway & chivvied him into the grass. Bye, little friend!
