Wouldn’t it be absolutely hilarious if the thing that could fix my weird brain/fluid issue was ozempic—oh my god it actually is. Apparently glp-1 meds reduce intercranial pressure. Huh. Well I guess I learned something new today. Now to call my Neuro…

This story by @robdsmith.bsky.social is excellent! Also buy his book (also from SHOTGUN HONEY!)

Did a zoom so here’s proof of life

Adventures in being cognitively impaired from LC: I forgot to update my phone account with my new credit card number. Did I get any alerts that things weren’t being paid? No. So when things go shut off I called. Guess where they sent the alerts: the WiFi box. Because I read the WiFi box regularly?!?

Unfollowing all the whiny white women yelling for Kamala to save them. Grow up, ladies, it’s time to save yourselves.

Another day, another plane crash. Two small planes collided mid air and there are fatalities. This is scary. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...

My dad wanted me to pick out his new frames so now we’re both going to wear green glasses. (Once I get mine lensed up)

RFK is underestimating the amount of premenopausal rage being kept in check with meds. You wanna take those drugs away? Ha ok sure. But we warned you.

Why am I stressing about getting my tax stuff together when we shouldn’t bother paying them at this point

Just a coyote sitting on my patio, staring off looking majestic, all while it rains

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

It’s really funny whenever I post about wearing a mask people will reply with excuses about why they don’t. I don’t care. If you are so weak willed that peer pressure gets to you I don’t care if you get sick. I don’t care about your excuses. It’s time to grow a spine.

Polio: don't call it a comeback, I been here for years! ( sorry LL)

Living with an elderly parent means you play Schrödinger’s parent when they sleep in. Are they alive? Are they dead? Until I open the door who knows.

Why isn’t the CIA CIA-ing?

I’m going to suggest all of you start wearing a mask because you have got to keep healthy now more than ever. Having any kind of chronic illness like long covid is going to ruin your life.

Correct. No one "made" the MAGA return happen except the people who actually voted for Trump and the officials who turned a blind eye to him. They have agency and responsibility for their own actions and they alone own the results. Don't dare blame their victims.

My cashier at Walmart (listen I live in rural AZ, not a lot of options for groceries) was wearing two trump pins and talking about her favorite salsa. The disconnect.

I guess I should be excited that the massive food aversion I have from my meds has made me drop four pounds so far. Yay?

Every night Bean tries to lick the skin off my arm—it’s the lotion. I have to let her or she’ll sneak attack me all night. After I get her to stop, she invariably sneaks an elbow lick. Such a little weirdo. I love her.
