Got several messages from the dog walker this afternoon because Aggie refused to get back in her kennel after her walk, until the walker got STEAK she had in her car to lure her in. Stubborn ass teenage hound.

During Covid I started Couch 2 5k to deal with the stress and by the end of 2021 I ran a marathon. With these times, maybe I should start training for an Ironman or something

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

The teen/20s blank stare kills me. I guess living with a majority of digital communication means you don't have to develop a poker face

Everything seems so dire this year, having Orange Vanilla Coke back is a welcome surprise

I've been in virtual training all week and I have lost all resilience for being on camera listening/engaging/talking for hours straight. I am a zombie at the end of the day

NEW - Rep. Mark Alford tells fired KC federal workers ‘God has a plan’ at hostile town hall Folks, I've been covering politics for a dozen years in Kansas and Missouri and this is probably the most intense, angry town hall I have ever seen www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

My mom is having my aunt take her to work today to respond to this email even though she's on paid leave due to knee surgery, so she's using a WALKER. And she does critical patient care at the VA

Snow beer. 22 degrees feels like a fun temperature now after -5 on Wednesday

Queer kids are statistically overrepresented in foster care and some foster "parents" think they should be protected from consequences for not respecting their identity, or forcing them into churches or conversion therapy.

Recently found this article about Leland Melvin and his two NEW dogs that he takes with him for public speaking events www.akc.org/expert-advic...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Andrew Bailey is a forever nemesis and I'll never forgive Missouri for electing him when all he does is waste the budget on garbage like this and trying to get access to trans people's medical records

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Hahahaha I love this pettiness. Also, it makes sense.

It's okay Kansas City as a fandom have been miserable 90% of the season even when we win, anyone who's been a fan pre-2017 knows this feeling

I would like to file a complaint, I said "is that the red hulk?" when Harrison Ford was on screen and nobody laughed

Whatever hex Taylor Swift cast this season does not work in New Orleans

GO KC!

🚨 red alert! 🚨 The cat has snuggled the dog!! Nobody move!

Missouri voters enshrined reproductive rights in the state constitution 3 months ago. Yet abortion remains unavailable. The state’s main provider is fighting legal hurdles to resume offering the procedure in the state. /// By Jeremy Kohler // www.propublica.org/article/miss...

I rode the bus to work, did almost all my work with pen & paper, went to the YMCA to workout over lunch, stopped and got a coffee and a muffin on my way to the bus stop home. I did almost bite it several times slipping on ice but I did unplug a bit and I feel a lot better for it.

I watched the doc Changing the Game and it was at times hard to watch, but also joyful to see KIDS feel proud of themselves participating in sports with their same gender teammates. This is not about fairness, this is about ADULTS feeling uncomfortable seeing trans people existing and being proud

Just because something is worth it doesn't mean it should be hard. Doing something really hard doesn't mean it'll be worth it. I learned this specifically with exercising but could apply to any new habit or skill.

Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."

god I just hope we can figure out who’s responsible for this deadly crash. if only there were clues. ah well. total mystery

This an ugly way to begin the four-year process whereby Americans relearn that the US government a) does all kinds of things they need but don't even know about, b) well, despite c) being chronically understaffed.

I love Kansas City and everybody hates me! 💔

Runnin' around in the sun ONE time for 30 minutes has completely turned my mood and energy around today, who knew - me every time

Man, I just want a self-cleaning kitchen and reliable public transportation, I don’t wanna outsource the perfectly enjoyable experience of hating a novel

I slept 10 hours last night

me, before seeing people: uhh maybe this isn't such a good idea, me, seeing people: oh wow I like this wow maybe people ... are good? Me, at home after seeing people: *a husk*

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known. techcrunch.com/2023/04/21/m...

Going to the gym not just to work out bad feelings but also just to feel warm
