Do you feel down? Because you're a human and you're the only one like you. And I *promise* you are cool. If you've forgotten that, I hope you'll remember. That one time? That thing you do? See! Very cool. We're in this together.

I hate that every day now I clean my apartment and take mental health walks with my dog to avoid hiding in bed, and both things help until I learn the newest ways the US federal government is being hollowed out further

Trump is trying to trick people into believing Zelenski is a dictator. In the same way you shouldn't wait for fascists to admit they are fascists, don't believe would-be dictators who call other world leaders dictators.

Let's turn this around to confront reality: Management, is your role genuinely valuable, or does it hold little consequence? Why are we paying you more if you're not actually overseeing anyone? Management's response: "Get back to work so I can maintain the illusion of being needed!"

Havoc got a new ball and wants his siblings to know it is HIS, not THEIRS! The puppies want the new toy so badly, but he is NOT going to share. 🤣 (And mean @oquacklaw made him leave it outside for the night. Now he's standing at the door looking out, watching to make sure it's safe! 🤣)

An ICE van caught on fire in Philadelphia. Despite right-wing blogosphere lies, the agency says no one set it on fire. It just ... happened. I'm an agnostic, but those of you who believe in gods, please pray yours does more of this.
