How the hell did I just end up having a conversation with my therapist about Hugh the Borg from Star Trek & what the character meant to me growing up & as an adult? He was alone in a world that he no longer understood - hated for who/what he was. People only wanted to fear him ... 1/?

Needed a bit of an emotional break tonight ... rewatching Mother of the Bride with a bunch of great actors, including the amazing Wilson Cruz ... ❤️

MAGAts are truly sick people ... posing as a police officer & assassinating 2 democratic lawmakers & their spouses in Minnesota. And for what, because of a protest against their cult leader? These people are sick & truly deplorable.

Not going to lie ... I could have done without that 'delightful' learning module & video about active shooters at work this morning ...

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Not true, DHS. Don't lie. There's video. Sec. Padilla repeatedly identified himself. He didn't lunge toward Sec. Noem. Security lunged toward him, pushed him out of the room, into the hallway, and onto the floor. The treatment of Sen. Padilla was violent, abrasive & forceful. Unconscionable.

This is abhorrent behavior clearly designed to intimidate & frighten CHILDREN. It calls into question the safety of the 'care' Broere provides these children. As a nurse myself, we don't claim her. I've also filed a complaint against her with her board of nursing for professional misconduct.

There was a spider bigger than a quarter chilling on my windshield on the way to work ... then it friggin' crawled somewhere & disappeared. So, now I can't open my sun roof or windows because that bugger is just waiting to pounce ...

@jonathandelarco.bsky.social I don’t know if words can really capture this, but I'll try. There was a time when I felt completely alone, ashamed & afraid of who I was. Watching your roles ... hearing you speak, well, it gave me hope. It made me feel like maybe I wasn't broken. 1/?

Waiting for the vet to call about my ginger goddess ... she has a minor issue, but a major attitude when it comes to the vet so she got herself sedated for her procedure. It's been almost 3 hours & I'm anxious to hear she's been recovered & ready to be picked up. Love this wee sassy goddess!! 😍

#ProudBlue The GOP doesn’t want you to see this news. And they are adding a tax break for gun silencers in their “Big Ugly Bill.”

ICE isn't really a job in law enforcement. It's for the nazi's who peaked playing high school football. I wonder if the knee pads are standard issue, or just for Mar-a-Lago weekends??

Settled down to relax with the fur babies & was surprised to find an episode of Major Crimes on TV ... 'Dead Drop' which is great because my favorite actor gets some quality screen time! Nice way to spend an hour this afternoon!

It's sickening what the FOTUS is doing. His disgusting gestapo raids, kidnapping people, denying due process & disappearing innocent, vulnerable people. The people of LA are right to protest these heinous acts. tRump is only out to make things worse & likely to 'justify' calling for martial law.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

One of my favorite scenes in TNG ... and I'm just now realizing Picard responding 'I am Loctus of Borg' may have been a subtle way of showing Hugh that it was possible to regain your humanity & individuality after the trauma of assimilation. youtu.be/sRc8EyPoxOU?...

Does everyone immediately discredit their therapist when they say they want to see their clients stay alive & find peace? My brain immediately reverts to 'well, you're also getting paid to say that ...' Good times ... right? 😑

I only stopped at Pet Smart to get more food for the ginger ninja & his goddess ... and yet these Pride themed toys & scratch pad somehow jumped into my basket ... Athena has already attacked the rainbow scratch pad & Atlas tried to disembowel the mouse toys... Now, time for cuddles! ❤️ 😍

@jonathandelarco.bsky.social... sorry if I'm being too nosy, but I was looking at your bio & curious about you adding 'author'. Have I missed a new project from my favorite xB??

Physically, emotionally & mentally done ... I definitely need some comfort Trek after work. First, my favorite xB since it's been a while since seeing 'I, Borg' ... then perhaps some season 1 Picard ... just, not Nepenthe for ... reasons. Tossing some Discovery in there is a must as well ...

After years of harassment, on the first day of Pride a man watched his husband be gunned down by an evil bigot. Meanwhile the media wants to portray his killer in a sympathetic light. This shit is why Pride is important. Innocent people should not be murdered simply for who they love.

My ginger ninja absolutely adores his kitty couch ... the ginger goddess, however, refuses to set a paw in hers. Apparently mom's bed is more to her liking ... I love these two so much!

Not me sitting here & listening to a 2020 podcast called Hollywood Caucus ... back in the day I listened to every episode as it came out. The ones with James Duff & @thepeterpaige.bsky.social are two of the best to be honest. These two men are so talented & intelligent!
