To be fair, next to Trump's short fingered hands, anything would look huge. This is probably an average sized bruise on anyone else's hand.

My daughter works from home sometimes because she has multiple sclerosis and some days, her symptoms make it dangerous to drive. But sure, she can’t see more than four feet in front of her face, she’ll hit the golf course instead of her home office.

I really hate knowing that my high school education from 37 years ago makes me smarter than the alleged person in charge of the country.

Some snowflake photos I took this afternoon. #MacroPhotography #photography #snowflakes #NikonD7200 #40mmMacroLens #PahzTakesPhotos

Mark Pocan is my rep.

As of 6:19 pm Central time, February 10, 2025, my iPhone still says Gulf of Mexico, because changing the name is the stupidest thing next to Trump’s haircut. #GulfOfMexico

Hmmm… Smallish town, Wisconsin/Illinois border. Woodman’s Grocery. #eggs

This is my husband, Jerry. #DisabledVeteran #GulfWarVet #TheDisabledGuy #StrokeSurvivor #umbrella #OneHanded #hemiplegic #aphasia

I'm in a group on Flickr that chooses themes for each day. It's a mix of people from different countries and the themes go from batshit crazy fun to mundane. Today's theme was "Protests Worldwide". This was my photo for the theme.

Get in, loser, we’re posting lock screens.

Why doesn't he just use tear gas to make the polar vortex leave the area? Does he not have access to the weather changing machines yet? Are there no hats big enough to cover that sad cornhusk head of his? The polar vortex must not be a woman, otherwise they'd take control.

Flowers! #photography #MacroPhotography #NikonD7200 #Nikon #macro #flower #closeup #sunlight #small #fineartphotography #Nikkor40mm #40mmMacroLens

It finally snowed in the daytime, when I was home, when I had the time. #snowflakes #MacroPhotography #PahzTakesPhotos #Photography #NikonD7200 #40mmMacroLens #Nikon #ProgradeDigital

Mathesar has been on the wall for MONTHS, but apparently, Dalton didn’t notice till today. #DaltonTheMagpieTabby #CatsOfBluesky #cat #SmithereenGarageCats

Hey, @bruceshark.bsky.social, this portrait of you on your daily commute was my Christmas gift to myself. Traffic, amirite? #Tattoo #SharkTattoo #sharks

Me to husband: "Hey, [this] is happening the day before your birthday!" Husband [exaggerated gasp]: "Will my birthday wish come true!?" Me: "We can only hope!"

Ash looks so smug. “There, I moved from YOUR chair.” #AshTheTabby #cat #SmithereenGarageCats

Seasonal Seasonings, everyone! youtu.be/hltEVBnakxs?...

My daughter and son-in-law adopted Frederick, a 14 year old cat who had been surrendered by his family. He can’t meow. But his lack of voice is made up for with all the purrs and affection he gives. #cat #seniorcat #blackcat #FrederickTheOldManKitty #meow

My husband is a 100% service-connected disabled veteran. ALL of our healthcare is from the VA. #Veterans #VeteransAdministration #VA #DisabledVeterans #governmentshutdown Link is to a PDF guide for vets to help with the shutdown. www.va.gov/files/2023-1...

Rocket & Dalton pretending to be the most polite boys ever & not the devious little shits that they are. #DaltonTheMagpieTabby #RocketTheTuxedoTabby #cat #SmithereenGarageCats

I ordered one for my granddaughter (she’s almost four). I know she’s going to love it!

Ink therapy is the best therapy. #tattoo

If you agree that these gentlemen are HEROES then repost this and let’s be friends 🇺🇸

My husband (58) is a 100% service-connected disabled Gulf War vet. Because of his 100% status, I get healthcare too. We definitely did not FA, but we're going to suffer by those who did. We had to fight for almost 3 years to get him to his 100% rating. He doesn't deserve to lose benefits. At all.

Tomorrow isn't just Thanksgiving AND Millie's 12th birthday, it also happens to be our 38th wedding anniversary! We met in high school as Army brats. Happy Birthday, Millie! I will casually slip some turkey to my daughter's dog tomorrow in your honor!

I'm 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon because of stuntman/FX guy, Taso Stavrakis. I worked w/Taso at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in 2012. He was jousting with Hanlon-Lees Action Theater, I'm a photographer there. Taso worked in the 1st Friday the 13th movie with Bacon. I took this photo of Taso in 2012.

My daughter and son-in-law adopted this 14 year old cat who was surrendered to the humane society by its owners who couldn’t take care of him. His name is Fred and he purrs so loud that I can hear him without my hearing aids. #catsofbluesky #seniorcat #rescuepet

That sounds amazing and I would be kicked off that expedition for trying to hug a shark. I know, I know- they're pointy and sharp and probably aren't all that fond of hugs. (also, in reality, I don't do well even on bigger boats, so I'd be useless).

MOOD FOR THE NEXT FOUR FUCKING YEARS. #goodtrouble
