Okay on the plus side, look at how we've united the rest of the world with our assholery

These pics came up on a FB memory from old pics I found when I was clearing out my dad’s place. I still love me some cake. 🥰

Me, right now…

Yep.

Timeline cleanse.

This country is being run by stupid, petty children.

And yes I know the country is falling to shit, but I’m watching Oscar dresses and might even watch part of the Oscars (much better than putting away laundry).

Ok I can’t stop watching the Oscar red carpet (procrastinating on putting away laundry). Selena Gomez looked classic and beautiful. And for the first time ever (I think) they showed a woman in a wheelchair on the red carpet.

I’m no fashionista, but I accidentally watched some of the red carpet arrivals for the Oscars and holy jeebus some of these dresses are atrocious. 😬

I love lazy mornings with coffee and a snugly dog. I need to start getting up earlier on the week days for this. 🥰

If you liked "Hillary Clinton Tried to Fuckin' Tell Y'all" you'll love the sequel, "Kamala Harris Tried to Fuckin' Tell Y'all".

Hey. Right now we do anything and everything, no matter how small or how large, to stop these people. To get in their way. To say no. To muck things up. Ignore the people who keep throwing up their hands and prattling on about "it wont matter" and "its over". Hell with that.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Oh ouch. 🤦‍♀️

My dinner time routine…

You don't fire the non-partisan leaders of our defense forces and military's senior legal advisors in the middle of the night unless you intend bad things.

2 mugs and some snugs. Sitting in the living room in front of a fire with a mug full of coffee and a mug full of oatmeal, with a toasty dog snuggled up next to me. Wish I could start every morning like this. 🥰

this is such a great idea 👇👇👇

Today would have been my 18th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe Jeff’s been gone a little over 5 years now.

Woke up really sick this morning, but feeling loads better now thank goodness. And my guy sent me roses for Valentine’s day, so there’s that. Still, #TGIF

I’m officially - I’m excited about the retinol cream I bought to use on the back of my hands for crepey skin - years old. 🫤

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Open Google Maps, zoom out and center on the Gulf of Mexico. Click on your photo in the upper right. Select Help & Feedback. Select Send Product Feedback. Report an issue. Tell them the Gulf of Mexico is labeled incorrectly.

Do yourself a favor. Record (if you’re able) the Puppy Bowl. Save it for a day when you really need to see puppies. Watch it without the volume/commentary. You’re welcome. 😘🐶

In my jammies still, snuggling with the dog, and having more coffee with some thin mint girl scout cookies.

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

I get so happy when friends foster dogs and become “foster fails” (end up keeping the dog). It’s also the reason I don’t foster dogs because for sure I’d get too attached. 🐶

So my car key fob battery was running low and instead of replacing it like an adult I just threw the spare key fob in my purse also. Went to go run some noon time errands and both key fobs are dead. Now I have to get someone to drive me somewhere to get new batteries in both. 🤦‍♀️

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

I’m SO over this shitty snow in NH. Seriously thinking about moving back to WA or OR but I’m definitely out-priced in my old ‘hoods. Where is still a reasonable and friendly place to live? In related news does anyone from Canada want to marry me? 🫤

This! 💯

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Had an earthquake shake the house this morning. In New Hampshire. What the what? I didn’t sign up for snow AND earthquakes.

I had no idea but I'm definitely going to start doing that.

Note to anyone who needs it today: A man who believes that a cleric's plea for compassion is "hate speech" has no business invoking God, or claiming to be a believer in anything but himself.

A gentle reminder that your attention is a form of currency. Spend it wisely.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Waiting for the 8” of predicted snow to arrive…and missing living on the west coast.

Exposure

Exactly.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

TGIF. Big snow is predicted for this weekend in NH. At least this one will be happy about it.
